Tirso Cruz III couldn&#x27;t be more proud of the digitally restored version of his 1995 film <em id="isPasted" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">Inagaw Mo Lahat Sa Akin. As part of the cast of the 1995 Carlos Siguion-Reyna film Inagaw Mo Lahat Sa Akin, Tirso Cruz III admitted that a lot has changed when it comes to shooting films from then and now. In Inagaw Mo Lahat Sa Akin, he played the role of Maricel Soriano’s husband Peping, who used to be the boyfriend of the latter&#x27;s younger sister, played by Snooky Serna. “Hindi pa uso ang lockdown noon. Kami ang nagpauso ng lockdown noon (laughs). It really worked for us kasi nung nag-shu-shoot kami, mag-shu-shoot kami the whole day tapos kung minsan maglalatag kami ng kumot by the beach and we talk about &#x27;yung eksena na kukunan namin,&quot; he shared. &quot;Hindi kagaya nung pag nag-shu-shooting dati na pagpunta mo ng set, pagkatapos ng shooting kanya kanyang uwian na. Tapos you only see each other on the other schedule. Dito, ang nangyayari, magkakasama kami lagi,&quot; he added. &quot;So we get to talk about the scenes and na-ga-guide kami mas lalo ni direk mabuti for every scene. Even yung cadence ng paggalaw naman, ng mga dialogue namin, gina-guide niya talaga kami. Nakita ko talaga yung finished product, iba rin,” he continued. <div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-10" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp902xqv4Pb/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=511&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A10%2C%22os%22%3A2211660.7%2C%22ls%22%3A717403.8%2C%22le%22%3A717985.8%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="717" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-10" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/7/6/fresh-scoops/tirso-cruz-iii-is-new-fdcp-chair-201085" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Tirso Cruz III is the new FDCP chair</a></div>Looking back on the whole experience, Tirso credits director Carlos Siguion-Reyna for bringing out the best in all of them. “Madami talaga akong baon na memories galing kay direk. Kasi in retrospect pagka iniisip ko, during that time talagang nakita ko na talaga na lahat ng character namin nasa kanya eh. Alam mong he carried it in himself eh. Alam mo when you’re telling a story, yung development ng each character buo na sa kanya,&quot; he said. &quot;At saka as a director, naniniwala ako na para siyang musical director at saka choreographer. Kasi pati yung lakad namin, &#x27;yung blocking namin, &#x27;yung timing ng mga galawan namin at tinginan, makikita mo. Nung una sabi ko ang hirap naman, ang hirap palang direktor si Carlito,” he added. <div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/5/26/fresh-scoops/tirso-cruz-iii-and-wife-celebrate-40th-wedding-ann-193670" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Tirso Cruz III and wife celebrate 40th wedding anniversary</a></div>Tirso admitted that of the most difficult scenes shot for the film was his bed scene with Maricel. “Alam mo balu-baluktot &#x27;yung katawan namin nun. There were some positions na talagang hindi na siya feeling love scene eh (laughs). Pero pagka pinanood mo ang ganda nung kinalabasan. At saka &#x27;yung paglingon mo minsan pag hindi na-timing sa line, sasabihin niya, ‘Teka lang, ayusin natin,&#x27;&quot; he said. &quot;Mahirap &#x27;yung ginagawa namin pero rewarding siya gawin pagka nakita mo na masasabi mo, ‘Kaya naman pala eh.&#x27; Hindi ka makaangal. Mahirap pero maganda eh. Worth it talaga eh. Sana ganun lahat a pinaghahandaan lahat ng process ng pelikula,&quot; he added. &quot;At the end of the day pagkatapos mo mag-shoot, kahit ilang scenes pa &#x27;yun, we shoot around three to five scenes a day, pero after you shoot may feeling ka ng fulfillment.&#x27; Yung parang,’Okay ah, artista pala ako (laughs).’ Parang ganun &#x27;yung feeling mo, hindi &#x27;yung parang nagtrabaho ka lang for the day, ganun,” he explained. Tirso is also the current chair of the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP)<div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/4/3/snooky-serna-remembers-the-time-maricel-soriano-gave-her-a-black-eye-talagang-lumilipad-ako-418" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Snooky Serna remembers the time Maricel Soriano gave her a black eye: ‘Talagang lumilipad ako!’</a></div>The film&#x27;s restoration was made possible alongside Central Digital Lab and first made its digital premiere in 2020 via KTX.ph after its theatrical release in 1995.Other restored titles from Sagip Pelikula that were also featured in the Mga Hiyas ng Sineng Filipino event included Sana Maulit Muli and Himala.
