I really appreciate it. Siguro, I want people to know lang that, people who want to act na you can portray any role,&quot; Salvador said in a press conference. </p><p>Salvador said portraying Regina was a learning experience for her.</p><p>&quot;Portraying Regina was really an experience for me. I will never forget the process of getting into the character. Una ko pa lang nabasa &#x27;yung script and what she stands for ...I knew I had to do it and It really made me grow as an actress. It gave me the confidence that I&#x27;m really for this industry kasi I usually doubted myself before,&quot; Salvador said. </p><p>&quot;This character gave me so much to learn from and from myself. Perfect timing and everything, super,&quot; she added.</p><p>The actress said Regina taught her to be braver in take on other roles in the future.</p><p>&quot;Mas matapang ako ngayon after becoming a mom na tumanggap ng ibang roles because why not? I mean, wala akong tinatago ngayon. This is me. It&#x27;s who I am,&quot; Salvador said.</p><p>&quot;Kaya siyempre, pipiliin ko pa rin &#x27;yung mga roles kasi siyempre hindi naman pwedeng basta-basta tatanggap lang ako nang tatanggap. It really depends on how it&#x27;s portrayed if may redemption or it&#x27;s properly portrayed,&quot; she added.</p><p>The role also showed her how women can stand on their own and hoped that her son would be proud of her craft.</p><p>&quot;I think they can do anything they want nowadays. They should be able to do anything they want because I believe we are capable and nothing is stopping us. We can make our own money if we want and there&#x27;s so many single moms out there who I look up to and I believe single moms are so strong,&quot; the actress said.</p><p>&quot;Gusto ko rin siyempre na maging proud din &#x27;yung anak ko na &#x27;ah, nagawa ng nanay ko &#x27;to, na kahit daring siya, gusto ko ma-appreciate niya &#x27;yung craft ko,&quot; she added. </p><p>She hopes that more women would be inspired by Regina&#x27;s story and stand up for themselves.</p><p>&quot;This is actually my first role after motherhood and hindi ko alam if it&#x27;s because of motherhood or also because the role is really so well written but tulad ng sabi I really grew as an actress. Mas may confidence ako to take on different roles. Mas minahal ko &#x27;yung craft ko dahil sa role na &#x27;to. Excited ako na gumawa ng iba&#x27;t ibang klaseng mga macha-challenge sa&#x27;kin,&quot; she said.</p><p>&quot;It really gave me more confidence, na-inspire talaga ako sa character ko, kay Regina. I really look up to her and I wanna be like her. I really wanna fight for what is right. I wanna be able to have a voice and be the voice of the generation.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Darna&quot; airs weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, CineMo, A2Z, TV5, iWantTFC, and TFC.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1835702" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
