Ces Drilon
PINASOK na rin ng broadcast journalist at dating news anchor ng ABS-CBN na si Ces Drilon ang pag-aartista.
Kasama ang former “Bandila” anchor sa cast members ng upcoming BL o boys’ love series na “Love Team: Beyond Boys’ Lockdown” na spinoff ng hit 2020 BL series na “Boys’ Lockdown” nina Ali King at Alec Kevin.
Si Ces ang gaganap na nanay ni Ali sa kuwento. “Ali’s from a showbiz family and I was a star in my day, something like that. And may pagka-stage mother,” paglalarawan ni Ces sa panayam ng ABS-CBN.
Natatawa niyang pagkontra sa kanyang role, “I wouldn’t do that to my son! So I was having difficulty, parang ano ba ‘yan, ‘di ko pahihiyain ‘yung anak ko nang ganyan.”
Inamin ng news anchor na sumailalim siya sa acting workshop bilang paghahanda sa kanyang karakter pero malaki raw ang naitulong ng kanyang mga experience bilang journalist sa pag-arte sa harap ng mga camera.
“In a way, when you’re presenting, there’s a bit of projection that you have to do. Not acting, but projecting. So I think that helped also,” pahayag ni Ces.
Tinanggap daw niya ang nasabing digital series dahil gusto niyang mag-try ng “something new” pero ipinagdiinan niya na wala naman daw siyang balak karirin ang pagiging artistan
“Because of the situation, we are in the pandemic and all and I got retrenched from ABS-CBN, I thought it’s the time of experimentation.
“Why not do something you haven’t done before? I’ve actually appeared in some movies before, but always as a journalist, as an interviewer. So this was really new,” lahad pa ng broadcast journalist.
Ang “Love Team” ay idinirek ni Jade Castro at kasama rin dito sina Kaloy Tingcungco at Teetin Villanueva.
Samantala, bukod sa acting, pinasok din ni Ces ang pagnenegosyo, “I think what happened after I was retrenched from ABS-CBN was I pursued my other interests. I took courses in natural perfumery, soap making, balm making, and scent making.
“In pivoting, I think I was successful in exploring other parts of me that I never would have had the pandemic not happened and forced me in that situation, where I had to look for other means of earning income and fulfilling yourself.”
“Now, I feel so energetic. I didn’t realize that at my age I’d be so inspired and full of ideas. Twenty-four hours of a day are not enough, I feel,” pagbabahagi pa ng news anchor.
