As a human being as Jane de Leon, I need to take care of myself kasi paano ka makakatulong sa ibang tao kung if you cannot help yourself, if hindi ka makakabangon everyday. Dapat talaga magsimula sa ’yo at magsimula sa ating lahat,&quot; she said. Asked how she will use her voice as a superhero figure, de Leon said: &quot;Sobrang malawak po ito. May physical, may mental, emotional siguro pinaka-importante is physical din because ito po ‘yung ginagamit natin everyday.&quot;&quot;Hindi po tayo makaka-function nang maayos kung hindi po tayo malusog. That’s why we need to take care of ourselves and to remind other people na rin.&quot; De Leon is set to fly as the iconic komiks superhero in “Mars Ravelo’s Darna: The TV series” soon.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/05/16/22/ding-ang-bato-narda-catches-stone-in-darna-teaser">‘Ding, ang bato!’ Narda catches stone in ‘Darna’ teaser</a></li></ul>Earlier this month, producer JRB Creative Production teased the reveal of Darna’s full battle gear, with a photo of de Leon sporting the headdress but garbed in a robe that covers the rest of the costume.Helmed by acclaimed director Chito S.
