As part of the ensemble cast of the new Kapamilya drama series Huwag Kang Mangamba, talented actress Eula Valdez said her role as the righteous miracle worker Deborah is a departure from her previous turns in shows like Love Thy Woman and The General’s Daughter.

“Si Deborah I believe maka-Diyos talaga, madasaling tao, lahat ng problema niya, hinihinga niya sa Panginoon. Naging apprentice siya before ng manggagamot,” she said.

Eula said she was happy to resume work again after experiencing anxiety attacks last year while doing home quarantine during the lockdown.

“Oh yes. One year ago, March 14 ang last taping namin ng Love Thy Woman tapos kinabukasan nun lockdown na ang buong Pilipinas. Dun ako nagkaroon ng anxiety attack kasi parang iniisip ko ano na mangyayari, gaano ba katagal ang itatagal nitong pandemic na ito na hanggang ngayon nga na kumbaga nasanay ka na lang at nag-iingat ka na lang na hindi ka tamaan,” she recalled.

The Huwag Kang Mangamba actress said she thanks her current show for helping her get over her anxiety by allowing her to resume acting again.

“Masaya ako kasi nung last July nag-resume ang Love Thy Woman. Isa sa mga programa ng ABS-CBN na nagpatuloy bagkus nagkaroon ng pandemya. Masaya ako na na-experience ko din ito pero hindi ako masaya sa pangyayari. Nakatulong sa akin at sa anxiety ko na nakapagtrabaho ako ulit at parang himala na tuloy tuloy ang trabaho bagkus merong pandemya. So nakaraos naman ako sa anxiety ko na yun,” she said.
