Handout</div>MANILA —  Award-winning actress Jean Garcia is stepping into the podcast space as host of the upcoming show “Kontrabida Talks,” a new project by RDR Business Solutions Inc. that aims to turn the spotlight on villains and the stories behind them.Entrepreneur and podcaster Reymond delos Reyes, who founded RDR Business Solutions, formally unveiled the new project last March 10.In true Garcia flair, she fearlessly baited online users, saying, “Sabi nila, ‘Miss Jean, safe lang po ang questions natin.’ ‘Safe? Sweetie, no! If you want a show, I’ll give you a show. I don’t like it safe. I like it fun, fearless, and feisty. Walang kokontra!’”A newcomer to the podcast industry, Garcia will shift the conversation – this time by asking bolder questions. The &quot;Kontrabida Talks&quot; will also focus on how villains were created, allowing listeners and viewers to see them as people.During an interview with ABS-CBN News, delos Reyes explained why he chose Garcia for the podcast.“Si Jean Garcia ay isa sa mga pinaka-legendary na kontrabida sa industriya ng Philippine television. For decades, kilala siya sa pagiging matapang, matindi, at hindi nakakalimutan na karakter,” he said.“Pero sa show na ginagawa namin, binabaliktad namin ‘yung role. Ngayon, ang kontrabida naman ang mag-i-interview. Ibang klase ‘yung dynamic na dala ni Jean. May authority siya, may tapang siya magtanong, at may instinct siya kung kailan kailangang laliman ang usapan. Hindi lang ito typical na interview.”Speaking about what the veteran actress will bring to the table, he went on to say, “Kapag si Jean ang nagtanong, lumalabas ‘yung mga kuwentong hindi karaniwang naririnig ng mga tao. At ‘yun ang magiging kakaibang contribution niya sa podcast industry.”<div> </div><div>RDR Talks</div>Delos Reyes is a podcaster himself, with his popular show &quot;RDR Talks,&quot; which streams on his 2.4 million-strong Facebook page. On his podcast, he interviews industry experts and entrepreneurs and shares insights into the importance of marketing in business.Recalling his journey, he told ABS-CBN News, “Nagsimula ako around 2021. Pero hindi siya planado. May partnership sana kami noon with a celebrity para sa isang show. Unfortunately, hindi siya natuloy.”He continued, “At that time naka-invest na ako ng millions sa studio. Sayang kung hindi magagamit. Kaya sabi ko, gamitin na lang namin. Nag-start ako mag-Facebook at Zoom live streaming. Minsan dalawang tao lang ang nanonood. Staff ko pa. Pero may isang live stream na biglang nag-viral. ‘Yung video na ‘Sa buhay, okay lang mangopya.’”“Doon ko na-realize na minsan hindi pala kailangang sobrang complicated para mag-viral sa social media. Ang kailangan lang ay totoong kuwento at relatable na mensahe,” expressed the entrepreneur.Delos Reyes also discussed his thoughts on creators&#x27; constant pursuit of virality, saying, “Para sa akin, ang virality ay resulta ng authenticity at consistency. Hindi mo kayang lokohin ang audience nang matagal. Ramdam ng tao kung totoo ka o hindi. Yes, views matter. Numbers don’t lie. Pero beyond likes at emojis, ang pinaka importante sa akin ay ‘yung mga mensahe ng mga tao.”He added, “Higit sa views, mas mahalaga sa amin ‘yung epekto. Maraming tao ang nai-inspire, natututo, at nagkakaroon ng lakas ng loob para ipagpatuloy ang laban sa buhay.”During the launch, he also announced his RDR Films and RDR Stories, which represent a huge step forward in combining technology, storytelling, and business by offering a new method of producing films and digital content using artificial intelligence.“This marks the start of a wider movement to introduce AI-powered filmmaking and storytelling to the Philippines, creating new opportunities for creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators in the digital era,” he said.
