Trailers see Dizon in quiet anguish and a fit of rage, among other shades of anger and sadness.</p><p>The 25-year-old actress had to inhabit Rica for weeks at a time, given the “bubble” setup of new-normal filming, where productions roll in cycles and in quarantine.</p><p>Calling that task “challenging,” as Dizon termed it, is an understatement, going by the resulting adjustment to her acting process which she admittedly is studying now.</p><p>“Mahirap siya i-switch off,” she said. “Iyon ‘yung tina-try kong aralin, kasi nakakapagod pag hindi nag-o-off. Iyon ‘yung laging ina-advise ng directors ko — i-pace ko ‘yung sarili ko. Kung kailangan bumitaw, bumitaw muna.”</p><p>The RCD Narratives production is directed by Dado Lumibao and Froy Allan Leonardo.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f-95kdCITmk?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>“Dati kasi, ang takot ko, kapag bumitaw ako doon sa emotion, ang hirap balikan,” Dizon explained. “Pero na-realize ko na once nag-stay ka masyado, lalo kang mauubos talaga. Iyon ‘yung tina-try kong aralin ngayon, kung paano i-pace ang sarili ko.”</p><p>“Hindi madali talaga mag-off sa character, kasi lalo na ngayon na lock-in taping kami. Every day kayo nag-su-shoot, and every day, nandoon ka sa character. So nakapag-off lang talaga ako ‘pag tapos na, ‘pag pack-up na,” she said.</p><p>Dizon recalled that during the first few days after emerging from a filming cycle, she found herself more reserved than usual, and replaying in her mind her portrayal.</p><p>“Pero, ngayon, masayang-masaya ako. Nakalabas na ulit. Nakakapag-promote kami, nakakakita ako ng ibang tao. Siguro, ngayon ko naramdaman ulit na si Charlie ako, hindi si Rica,” she said.</p><p>In her interview with ABS-CBN News, Dizon also spoke at length about her dedication to improving her craft, living up to expectations of being a best actress winner, and whether she ever dreamed of having her own “love team.”</p>

Charlie Dizon, an acclaimed actress now with her own TV series in a lead role, admits her acting process tends to take an emotional toll on her, but is learning ways to recover easily and let go.
