But for <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/initsamagdamag">Init Sa Magdamag</a> I know that I was requested. That’s all I know,” she shared during a <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/initsamagdamag">Init Sa Magdamag</a> mediacon last July 12. <div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/4/22/fresh-scoops/alexa-ilacad-reveals-what-she-finds-sexy-about-new-192988">READ: Alexa Ilacad reveals what she finds sexy about new love team partner Gab Lagman</a></div>Starting out in showbiz on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/goinbulilit">Goin’ Bulilit</a>, Alexa has come a long way into becoming a full grown woman at 21 years old this year. Alexa said she will now consider doing daring scenes depending on the project.“Dito sa <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/initsamagdamag">Init Sa Magdamag</a>, Gab and I don’t really have daring scenes. More on good vibes pakilig yun lang yung talagang sole purpose ng mga characters namin and to provide a second layer for the show. So for <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/initsamagdamag">Init Sa Magdamag</a>, I wouldn’t say it’s daring and right now, personally as long as it’s done in good taste and if my partner is good, if he’s the right partner, I think I would be willing naman to go a bit daring, not so daring just a bit (laughs). Kasi it’s art naman eh and as long as it’s done in good taste. It’s just acting so why not?” she said.<div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/4/29/fresh-scoops/alexa-ilacad-gets-inspiration-from-her-role-in-in-193137">READ: Alexa Ilacad gets inspiration from her role in ‘Init Sa Magdamag’ for her new single ‘Stay Right Here’</a></div><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/4/7/fresh-scoops/alexa-ilacad-addresses-allegations-that-she-got-a-192702">READ: Alexa Ilacad addresses allegations that she got a nose job</a></div>With the Miss Universe Philippines pageant removing their minimum height requirement for aspiring candidates starting this year, Alexa admitted the recent development might make her consider the possibility of joining the pageant someday. Alexa stands at a height of 5’1”.“Hindi ko pa yun naiisip to enter pageants. Ibang klaseng mundo yan and sa ngayon hindi ko pa alam if ready ako or kaya kong tahakin yan. But we’ll never know, baka sa future magkaroon ako ng change of heart at gustuhin ko rin sumabak sa Miss Universe. Siguro kapag confident na ako mag-two-piece why not?” she said.
