Brax has finally confessed his true feelings and sexuality in a recent episode of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/viralscandal" style="color:rgb(7, 130, 193);font-family:sans-serif,Arial,Verdana,&quot;trebuchet ms&quot;;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration:underline;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px">Viral Scandal</a>. Sky Quizon, the actor playing the character, reacts to his ‘coming out’ performance, plus his other scenes in the controversial series.In this edition of Kapamilya React, Sky re-watched his scenes in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/viralscandal" style="color:rgb(7, 130, 193);font-family:sans-serif,Arial,Verdana,&quot;trebuchet ms&quot;;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration:underline;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px">Viral Scandal</a>, starting off with one of Brax, Bea (Karina Bautista), and Pogs (Aljon Mendoza)’s love triangle moments. In the clip, Brax calmed Bea, who was then anxious about another video upload gone horribly wrong. He was reassuring her, touching her hand, when Pogs appeared and got jealous.Reacting to the scene, Sky mentioned their chemistry was purely built on friendship. They didn’t attend workshops together. But they’re friends in real life since they’re all <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/pbbs10">Pinoy Big Brother</a> alumni, “Talagang nagtutulungan kami whenever we do our scenes. Nagbibigay kami ng mga points or what-not.”Sky’s portrayal is reminiscent of minimalist K-drama acting, which is the peg for his character. “’Yung character ni Brax, malakas maka-Korean, eh. ‘Yung mga aktingan ng mga Korean actors, ‘yung medyo underacting, mata lang, mababa. In-imbibe ko lang. Nung nag-audition ako for that, sabi ni Direk Froy parang Kdrama ang atake.”The rookie actor is ready to explore his talent in acting and that means learning things he’s never done before. Case in point: the basketball scene with Aljon. “Hindi ako marunong mag-basketball, so tinuruan lang nila ako a night before i-shoot ‘yan kung paano ‘yung proper form ‘pag nag-shoot, paano mag-dribble,” it’s one of the most memorable things he did for the series“’Pag tinatanong ako ngayon kung anong pinakamahirap na acting stint na ginawa ko, mag-basketball. ‘Di talaga ako marunong, so it was really a challenge for me… Nakakatawa, nung pinapanood ko ‘yung mga basketball stunts na ginawa, hindi talaga papasa.”Add to that the scene where he saved Aljon from a moving car. “Isa din ‘to sa mga nakakatawa na shinoot namin. May stunts, sprained pa ‘yung paa ko tapos ‘yun pala ‘yung gagawin, magpapagulong-gulong. Wala kaming double, so ang sakit. Double talaga? Akala mo sobrang action star. Nagkasugat-sugat din ako, mga galos sa braso.”But it’s always a fun experience acting with his friends. He also enjoyed breathing life to a multifaceted character and being the third wheel to KarJon, “Kasi first time kong magka-love triangle tapos ang ganda kasi ng character ni Brax, multi-layered siya. Na-enjoy kong laruin kasi may character development si Brax.” He’s glad viewers are satisfied with his performance, especially in his ‘coming out’ scene, which is a highlight for Brax’s character.The ex-PBB Otso housemate is happy how that scene turned out; even his co-stars were moved by Brax’s confession that he’s gay and in love with Pogs and not with Bea. “Sobrang excited ako na gawin ‘to kasi ito ‘yung peak ni Brax. It turned well. Tapos si Aljon, naiyak na hindi dapat. Nakita ko tumutulo na rin ‘yung luha niya tapos pinapunas ‘yung luha niya kasi hindi siya dapat umiyak n’un. Eh, naiyak siya nung inaarte ko ‘yung eksena.”Sky is honored to be part of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/viralscandal" style="color:rgb(7, 130, 193);font-family:sans-serif,Arial,Verdana,&quot;trebuchet ms&quot;;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration:underline;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px">Viral Scandal</a> for many reasons. He’s proud of how the series tackles relevant issues. Each character represents a topic that the society needs to be more aware of. In his case, he plays a role that touches on gender identity struggles and LGBT discrimination.“I was fortunate that I was able to play the role of Brax to give representation to people like Brax na they act masculine but ang tinitibok ng puso nila ay para sa isang lalaki pala. I am so happy that <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/viralscandal" style="color:rgb(7, 130, 193);font-family:sans-serif,Arial,Verdana,&quot;trebuchet ms&quot;;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration:underline;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px">Viral Scandal</a> sheds light to these issues kasi maraming mga nanonood, nababasa ko na ganun ‘yung na-experience nila, so nakaka-relate sila. They sympathize and empathize with the character of Brax as a human being who fell in love. Ang galing na na-tackle ‘yun ng <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/viralscandal" style="color:rgb(7, 130, 193);font-family:sans-serif,Arial,Verdana,&quot;trebuchet ms&quot;;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration:underline;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px">Viral Scandal</a>.”Due to his effective onscreen chemistry with Aljon, fans now request a BL (Boys Love) spin-off for Brax and Pogs’ characters. Sky said he’s game for it, “Why not? I think, if ABS would give us such a project, why not, ‘di ba? Kasi ang lakas din ng clamor, eh… I think that would be fun. At saka ang galing din kasing ka-eksena ni Aljon, nagkakaroon ng give and take.”Follow Sky in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/viralscandal">Viral Scandal</a>, weeknights, on <u style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Montserrat, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"><a href="https://kapamilyachannel.com/" style="box-sizing:border-box;background-color:transparent;text-decoration:none">Kapamilya Channel</a><span style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Montserrat, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);float:none;display:inline !important">, <u style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Montserrat, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"><a href="https://kapamilyaonlinelive.com/" style="box-sizing:border-box;background-color:transparent;text-decoration:none">Kapamilya Online Live</a>, and A2Z.
