When asked about the preparations she does in every project given to her, she imparted that she scrupulously studies the script, internalizes her character, and never hesitates to ask the directors or anyone on the set whenever she has questions.So far, she hasn’t turned down any project yet as the projects offered to her since she started around six years ago were all appropriate to her age and capabilities, to which she’s very much thankful. However, she imparted that she’s likely to decline if the next ones are going to be mature roles, as she assumes that those do not fit her yet because of her youthful façade.With the success of her first project, Majoy feels more challenged rather than pressured.

According to her, she was initially frightened since she’s working with the former matinee idol. Although she only got to work with him for a day, she described how it was a breeze because he’s so generous as an actor.When asked about the most challenging role she’s ever done, she said that it would be “Birdshot” since aside from being her acting debut, she was surrounded by top-caliber thespians like John Arcilla, Arnold Reyes, and Manuel Aquino. She also recounted undergoing workshops opposite the dog that was also part of the movie and training how to handle guns.With the overwhelming blessings that have come her way in the past years, Majoy still has goals that she aims to achieve.

So, ‘yon po ang goal ko ngayon, ‘yong mas ma-continue ko pa po kung ano po ‘yong nagagawa ko before until now.”She has the same goal when it comes to her acting career, as she wishes to be able to inspire other people through her journey and the roles she’s going to portray.Watch this video to hear straight from Majoy her inspiring and relatable journey and her experiences in the past projects that she did.
