Bangs Garcia admits she almost backed out of ‘Magkano Ang Iyong Dangal’!

ABS-CBN.com visited the set of Magkano Ang Iyong Dangal last January 8 where lead star Bangs Garcia shared how tense she was during their first two taping days. “Nung first day medyo kinakabahan ako ng todo. Medyo biglaan kasi yung mga pangyayari and right now nasaPrecious Hearts Romances Presents My Cheating Heart pa rin ako so conflict pa sa schedule so inaayos pa nila although matatapos na rin naman yun.”



She also admitted that she was so overwhelmed by the pressure of being the lead star that she almost backed out. “Honestly, natakot ako. Meronpoint na dumating ako sa ayoko… Parang gusto ko mag back out kasi parang hindi siya biro ang magkaroon ng own show. Parang it comes with greater responsibilities din, hindi siya simple na magkaroon ng sariling show.”

It was the support of her family and friends that made her push through with the project. “Sabi ko sa sarili ko eto yung matagal ko nang hinihintay, e. Ito nasa harap ko na. Ang tanga ko naman kung magba-back out pa ako so kailangan ko paninindigan. I promised myself na I will try my best kasi nakakahiya rin naman i-fail sina Direk Chito Roño, award-winning director natin yan, and especially si Ma’am Charo Santos na nagtiwala sa akin and si Mr M. (Johnny Manahan) na lagi akong ine-endorse kina Ma’am Charo.”

Bangs admitted that working with famed director Chito Roño also added to the pressure she was feeling. “Nakakatrabaho ko ang award-winning director na si Direk Chito Rono so alam kong sobrang galing niya. Honestly, wala akong tiwala sa sarili ko, wala pa masyado pero I know that I need to learn a lot of things pagradually. And ang pinakagusto ko sa kanya (Direk Chito) ‘pag mayroon hindi siya gustong eksena sinasabi niya sayo ng deretso.” Bangs added, “Undeniably, ‘pag dinerect ni Direk Chito, it is a big deal and mayimpact talaga. Yung teaser pa lang namin pinapakita grabe na. Ang goal ko is gusto kong sabayan yung lakas ng impact. Hindi pwede yung maganda yung teaser, maganda yung story, magaling yung directortapos pagdating sa bida hindi magaling. Yun yung kinakatakutan ko ayoko mangyari yun and sisiguraduhin kong hindi mangyayari yun.”

Her role in Magkano Ang Iyong Dangal is the most challenging one so far for Bangs. “Si Bangs dito kakaiba. Aside from first lead role ko siya, ang usual kasi na nakikita ng tao sa akin is strong, feisty,palaban, glamorosa. So dito for the first time, makikita nila ako sa isang teleserye na talagang probinsyana. Walang makeup, walang fashion sense, baduy.”

Bangs also revealed that while her role is a bit sexy, her character is also a bit naïve. “Sexy ako dito pero iba yung pagkaka-sexy ko parang innocent na sexy. Kung baga maganda siya, sexy siya pero hindi siyaaware na ganun siya. Feeling ko mas grabe ‘to kaysa Palos. Kung naging daring ako sa Palos, mas magiging daring ako dito, title pa lang. Yun ang dapat abangan ng mga tao kung bakit ganun ang title.”
