Wearing a matching blue suit, the actress said that she feels grateful to the network for giving her another year to prove herself and show to everyone her talents.

“Siyempre sana hindi lang more projects pero 'yung pag-e-evolve ko as an actor kasi gusto ko talaga yung ginagawa ko.

“Kasi everytime na umaarte ako, 'yung puso ko and 'yung nararamdaman ko iisa - masaya 'yung nafi-feel ko,” she said.

When asked what role she's looking forward to in the future, everyone was surprised with her answer.

“Gusto ko yung medyo challenging, mga baliw-baliw o kaya adik-adik,” she answered.

“'Yung mahihirapan ako kasi gusto ko talagang ma-push 'yung sarili ko and para mapakita ko rin sa ibang tao na hindi lang ito 'yung kaya kong gawin.

“Gusto ko makita nila ako as a versatile actor.”

Aside from her contract signing, Faith is also happy to discuss her current project in the network which is the primetime series Sahaya wherein she plays the role of Fareeda -- one of Sahaya's nemesis.

Faith's acting in the series are commended by everyone even online. Often times, she acquires comments on Instagram saying her character is convincing for a kontrabida.

These “comments” were regarded by Faith as a compliment to her acting chops.

“Actually before, nung medyo bago-bago pa lang ako siyempre maapektuhan ka sa mga ganyan ganyan kasi baguhan ka pa lang, 'di ba?

“Pero ngayon, iba kasi ibig sabihin convincing ka as kontrabida at mas natutuwa po ako dun.

“Ibig sabihin mas nakakinis talaga ako and it means na mas gagalingan ko talaga.”

The success of Sahaya also meant pressure for the 19-year-old.

Now moved to a new timeslot, Faith admitted that it's nothing but friendly competition between them and the rival network's show.

“Sobrang pressure kasi alam po nating lahat na malakas ang ratings nila.

“Pero, masaya rin po kami na ang ratings namin is sing-lakas, maraming sumusubaybay, at maraming sumusuporta.

“Kaya kami sa set, happy naman po kami at tina-try namin lahat na maipakita sa TV kung ano ang pwede naming ma-express sa Sahaya.
