Bilang mahilig din ako manuod ng mga drama series, parang namamangha ako na yung napanuod ko ka-eksena ko lang kagabi, yung ganun. Yung energy din nila.Totoo na hindi mo mabubuo yung storya pag hindi binibigay ng lahat ng miyembro yung energy nila. So kung ano mang role yan, basta yung energy nandun sa moment na yun, maganda lalabas yung storya. Kaya ako ay thankful, excited at hindi ako makapaniwala na nasa Netflix siya, bilang fan din ako ng mga series sa Netflix. I’m thankful and grateful,” she said.</p><p>In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News, the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/magandangbuhay"><em><strong>Magandang Buhay</strong></em></a> host couldn’t hide her excitement at being able to portray another character again onscreen.</p><p>&quot;Nakilig ako. Kasi kapag nasa taping ka hindi mo naman alam paano ang kakalabasan. Alam mo lang ay ginawa mo &#x27;yung role na ibinigay sa iyo. Pero pala kapag napagsama-sama siyang ganoon, parang iba rin &#x27;yung  feeling nu&#x27;ng excitement at fulfillment na ibibigay sa iyo. Eh first time ko gumawa ng ganitong series na role at mga eksena kaya natutuwa ako at nae-excite pa ako sa mga susunod pang mangyayari.”</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/8/20/jolina-magdangal-on-fans-reception-on-her-comeback-series-1404"><strong>READ: Jolina Magdangal on fans’ reception on her comeback series: “Hindi ako makapaniwala.”<br/></strong></a></div><p>The <em>Lavender Fields</em> actress also gave credit to the show’s entire production staff for helping make the project a success this early in its release. “Para sa akin, ang isang biyahe ay hindi aandar kung hindi magtutulong tulong ang lahat.

So noong nakita ko ang reaction ng lahat, e siyempre, alam mo naman, iba na rin ang panahon ngayon. Talagang mararamdaman mo ang kanilang pagmamahal dahil nandito nga ang social media. Syempre, na-touch ako. Nagdasal ako sabi ako, ‘uy, thank you, Papa Jesus’. Kasi minsan, pag marami ka na rin nagawa, minsan parang akala mo na alam na nila ‘yan, sanay na sila na ganyan ako, parang ganoon. Pero kapag may nakaka-appreciate sa’yo, (nasasabi ko) ‘Talaga ba?’ Hindi ako makapaniwala. So very thankful ako sa kanila.</p><p>Very excited ako pag nakakakita ako ng post nila dahil ang gagaling din nila mag-edit. Mga ganun.
