<p>Known more popularly on social media as Poca (real name Warren Daniel Osinaga), the hilarious content creator finally got the chance to cross over to a different platform starting this year. He was cast in the upcoming romantic comedy <em>Meg &amp; Ryan</em> which stars JC Santos and Rhian Ramos. Poca was officially introduced as part of the cast last July 9 during the film’s grand presscon event. </p><div><br/></div><p>In a recent Instagram post, Poca wrote, “Another milestone for me as a content creator is to experience a whole new different ball game which is acting. Thank you so much to direk @catherineocamarillo and the entire team of @pmproductionsinc for trusting me to be apart of this incredible experience!!!”</p><div><br/></div><p>While speaking to the press, he also revealed, “Sa totoo lang grabe yung kaba ko nung una, but salamat sa lahat ng co-actors and everyone who made the set more relaxed and less stiff. Happy naman ako sa mga naging feedback ng co-actors ko. Kahit medyo nag-struggle ako ng konti kasi it was really my first time.But I hope you guys will enjoy the movie kasi talagang pinaghirapan namin.”</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-47" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJGFsFoSAUw/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A47%2C%22os%22%3A13000665.199999988%2C%22ls%22%3A135262.69999998808%2C%22le%22%3A135381.39999999106%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1050" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-47" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-48" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DL6cB_rTHT7/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A48%2C%22os%22%3A13000675%2C%22ls%22%3A135262.69999998808%2C%22le%22%3A135381.39999999106%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1246" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-48" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Poca admitted that he went through a round of auditions before being part of the Pocket Media Films project.</p><div><br/></div><p>“First of all, may audition na nangyari. Nag-audition kami. Actually, dalawang roles yung pinag-auditionan ko. Yung isa, parang feeling ko hindi ako pero I still auditioned for it. While itong role ko, nung binasa ko yung script Diyos ko sabi ko, ‘Ako ba nagsulat nito?’ Akong ako talaga. So when it comes to preparation, ayoko sanang kabisaduhin lahat ng lines ko ng word for word. I wanted to understand it by heart. So nung sinend sa akin yung script, I read it over and over and over again until nasaisapuso ko siya.</p><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Tapos nag-ask din ako ng permission kay direk. Sabi ko, ‘Direk, okay lang ba if mag-add ako ng konti? Bawasan ko ng konti’ Hinayaan niya ako maging ako. Na ilabas ko yung let’s just say yung artistry na gusto kong ilabas since this is my first movie ever. But to be part of this movie is such a privilege so ayokong mapahiya yung sarili ko sa aking mga co-actors and of course, the people behind the movie,” he explained. </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-49" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL7oVJBybIu/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A49%2C%22os%22%3A13000683.799999997%2C%22ls%22%3A135262.69999998808%2C%22le%22%3A135381.39999999106%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1017" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-49" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>In <em>Meg &amp; Ryan</em>, Poca got to work most closely with JC Santos, who plays the titular role of Ryan in the film.</p><div><br/></div><p>“My role here is Von - Ryan&#x27;s annoying and super mapang asar na colleague na magbibigay sa inyo for sure ng laughter and color in this movie! Si JC yung matagal kong nakatrabaho dito kasi ka-work niya ako sa office niya dito. Kami yung magka-work dun so asaran, ganyan, which is araw araw ko namang ginagawa so parang wala namang masyadong nagbago. But all in all, it was such a great experience. One of the most for me as a content creator,” he admitted. </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-50" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL6tNOHxe0t/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A50%2C%22os%22%3A13002042%2C%22ls%22%3A135262.69999998808%2C%22le%22%3A135381.39999999106%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1023" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-50" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Watch Poca in <em>Meg &amp; Ryan</em> when it opens in cinemas nationwide starting August 6.
