LIZA SOBERANO
BIG deal for some bashers ang pagiging mestiza at mestizo nina Liza Soberano at Enrique Gil to play Pinoy characters in Bagani.
One comment which seemingly ignited a series of bashing came from a girl who said, “Not against Enrique & Liza pero kasi…gets. Hahaha! Di naman sila Pinoy.”
This prompted Liza to retort, “And who says were not Pinoy? My father is full Filipino. I was raised by two Filipinos since the age of 4. I looooove sinigang I think thats as Pinoy as Pinoy can get,” she said.
Marami na ang nakisakay and pointed out that the production could have used Pinoy looking lead stars in Bagani.
Nakakatawa ang mindset ng bashers, ha. They were stereotyping actors and actresses. Just because may mestizo features sina Liza at Enrique ay hindi na raw sila Pinoy.
That had us laughing. Si Rosemarie Gil, mother ni Cherie Gil, Mark Gil at Michael de Mesa ay mestiza pero marami siyang roles na poorita (poor) ang kanyang role. Si Nora Aunor na isang morena ay gumanap na sophisticated sa ilang movies.
Si Vilma Santos na isang mestiza ay naging performer sa perya sa isang movie. Si Liza Lorena na isa ring mestisahin ay ilang beses nang gumanap na deglamorized sa movies.
Clearly, what bashers of Enrique and Liza want is for the two to be typecast sa iisang role. Hindi yata nila alam ang term na role playing.
