Rita Daniela said she is happy to be back on both television and on stage.The talented actress and singer took a break from showbiz after giving birth to her son Juan "Uno" Andres in 2022. Rita is also part of the cast of the upcoming 9 Works Theatrical musical Liwanag Sa Dilim which will features the songs of Rico Blanco and starts its run next month.

Last year also proved to be an extra challenging one for the 29-year-old artist when she filed a complaint for acts of lasciviousness against her co-star Archibald "Archie" Alemania before the City Prosecution Office of Bacoor, Cavite in October. In a previous report on ABS-CBN, Rita claimed in her affidavit that Archie sexually violated her and made repeated inappropriate remarks against her in September when he offered her a ride home.

The case, which is still currently ongoing, admittedly left Rita feeling more guarded now with her colleagues. In an exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN during a press visit for the Liwanag Sa Dilim rehearsals, she shared how the experience has definitely changed her especially when it comes to how she views co-workers on the set.

“Well of course it affected me so much. I just don’t like talking about it actually. Most especially now because it’s already a case. It’s already there. But I just think that everything happens for a reason and I trust God why He let that thing happen to me. I have to say mas guarded na ako, a bit. I try my very best to still act the same but siyempre hindi mo na yun maaalis sa akin na siyempre may trauma pa rin yan eh. So I just have to really be guarded and be more mindful and really choose the people that I open up to and that I talk to,” she told PUSH ABS-CBN.

After becoming a mom, Rita admitted acting has taken on a deeper meaning for her, especially when doing more dramatic scenes and songs.

“Ang laki. Sobrang laki (ng difference). Mas madali ako nakaka-relate sa mga kanta, sa dapat na ibigay na emosyon. Mas madali ko siyang nagagawa at mas madali akong nakakahugot kung kinakailangan. Naisip ko talaga na ang daming units na pumapasok sa isipan at puso ko. Malaking bagay,” she said.

During Mother’s Day last year, Rita shared just how happy she is being a parent. She wrote in a post, “one of my dreams is to be a mother. i’m beyond grateful that God made that happen and he gave me YOU. you make me a happy and good mother, Uno. because of the love you show me, you inspire me to become the better version of myself. you make me the happiest every time you smile at me, stare at me and laugh, when u sing for me, when you kiss me. more experiences and moments to come! i will never ever get tired to be your nanay 🏼”

$\"Robbie$ Robbie Guevara talks about 'Liwanag sa Dilim'

MANILA -- After a long wait, the original Filipino musical, "Liwanag sa Dilim," featuring the songs of Rico Blanco, will soon to hit the stage on March 7, at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati City.

9 Works Theatrical's artistic director Robbie Guevara, who is also the writer and director of the musical, shared his thoughts about the upcoming production which will headline four male leads -- Khalil Ramos, Anthony Rosado, CJ Navato, and Vien King.

Since the title was once attached to the campaign of former vice president Leni Robredo in the 2022 presidential elections, Guevara admits that there's a hint of political flavor to the story.

"However, remember, this was written before the song was used in Leni’s campaign," he said.

So what is the plot of "Liwanag sa Dilim"?

"It is about a guy, Elesi, who was orphaned at a young age," Guevara began. "When his adopted parents die, he goes on a quest to find his past. Along the way, he meets another guy, Cris, who instantly becomes his friend, and joins him in his fight to help the oppressed and underprivileged."

According to him, he decided to turn Blanco’s songs into a musical using "the same formula with what I did for 'Eto na! Musikal nAPO!'"

"I examined the lyrics of each song and decided how to use it in a story. The tempo may change -- fast songs can become ballads, etc.. What’s important is the lyrics become dialogue -- with one’s self or with other characters," he said.

It took seven years to complete the material.

"I wrote this in 2018 for a 2020 release. We’re still re-writing, by the way," he added.

Asked which character in the musical resonated with him, Guevara said: "No one in particular. I put a little bit of myself in as many of the characters as possible."

"I can attach my sense of comedy to the one who is the comic relief, as well as write the political views into another character."

The other actors who will compose the impressive bevy of talents onstage are (in alphabetical order): Jon Abella, Paji Arceo, Brianna Bunagan, Arnel Carrion, Denzel Chang, Chez Cuenca, Rita Daniela, Boo Gabunada, Neomi Gonzales, Derrick Gozos, Alexa Ilacad, Jasper Jimenez, Rica Laguardia, Lani Ligot, Raul Montesa, Nicole Omillo, Lucylle Tan, Mark Tayag, and Iya Villanueva.

MANILA – Actress Rita Daniela Iriñgan, more popularly known as Rita Daniela, filed a complaint for acts of lasciviousness on Wednesday against her co-actor Archibald \"Archie\" Alemania before the City Prosecution Office of Bacoor, Cavite.

The actress lodged the complaint against Alemania, whom she stars with in a television series.

In her affidavit, Daniela claimed Alemania sexually violated her and made repeated inappropriate remarks against her in September.

Daniela said she already felt uncomfortable with the remarks of the actor during a gathering.

The actress said Alemania offered her a ride home while waiting for her Grab car early in the morning.

After initially refusing, Daniela said she accepted Alemania's offer to bring her home since it was already late and she thought he was sober enough.

The actress detailed the incident, which she said happened during the car ride home.

Daniela attached a screenshot of her message to the respondent after the incident, where she said she felt disrespected and violated by him.

In the screenshot, Alemania could be seen apologizing to Daniela, saying he was drunk.

ABS-CBN News has reached out to Alemania for his response.

$\"Robbie$ Robbie Guevara talks about 'Liwanag sa Dilim'

Since the title was once attached to the campaign of former vice president Leni Robredo in the 2022 presidential elections, Guevara admits that there's a hint of political flavor to the story.

"However, remember, this was written before the song was used in Leni’s campaign," he said.

So what is the plot of "Liwanag sa Dilim"?

According to him, he decided to turn Blanco’s songs into a musical using "the same formula with what I did for 'Eto na! Musikal nAPO!'"

It took seven years to complete the material.

"I wrote this in 2018 for a 2020 release. We’re still re-writing, by the way," he added.

Asked which character in the musical resonated with him, Guevara said: "No one in particular. I put a little bit of myself in as many of the characters as possible."

"I can attach my sense of comedy to the one who is the comic relief, as well as write the political views into another character."
