She explained, “Marami akong eksena na paos ako. Makikita n’yo po ako sa taping, meron akong scarf sa leeg, hinihigop ko na ‘yung hot water, salabat. Tapos bawal ako magsalita talaga kasi pagdating ng oras na ‘yun, wala na akong boses.”She was often paired with Igiboy Flores. Unlike other kids coached by their parents, Miles would study her script on her own. They all loved it when they’re given more gags and longer lines. “Hindi ako tinuturuan ng nanay ko. Bida-bida ako noong bata ako, eh. Tapos mas mabilis ako mag-memorize noong bata ako, eh, pati umiyak,” she said. She went on to talk about how it was so easy for her to cry when she was little. Just thinking about her mom leaving would spark tears within ten seconds unlike now when she has to dig deeper into her character’s emotions.

At the end of the shoot, Director Bobot Mortiz or the show’s Executive Producer will review that tally board posted inside the studio. It was a little competition that inspired them to always do their best.Her batchmates always looked forward to Saturday playtime on the set. They would even get scolded by the security for turning the hallways into a playground. Sometimes, they would intentionally delay pack-up time. “Kapag malapit na kaming matapos, gagawa kami ng rason para tumagal ‘yung taping kasi ayaw pa naming umuwi.
