Last October 8, 2013, at the press conference of Genesis, GMANetwork.com sat down with the multi-awarded actress Lorna Tolentino for this exclusive interview.

The Kapuso actress plays an important role in Genesis.

“I’m playing the role of Sandra Sebastian-Trinidad. Ang father ko ‘yung Vice President, noong namatay ‘yung father ko, ako ‘yung pumalit sa kanya,” she shares.

She adds,“’Yung role ko is kung paano ise-save ‘yung buong Pilipinas dahil sa  mga disasters at end of the world.”

Kasama ng Kapuso actress sa bagong adventure-drama series na ito sina Dingdong Dantes, Rhian Ramos, TJ Trinidad, Jackie Lou Blanco, Luanne Dy, Carlo Gonzales at iba pang mga naglalakihang pangalan sa industriya ng show business. 

“Napakalaking production nito, puro magagaling na artista ‘yung sinama nila. It’s not hard working with them because there’s teamwork. “

How is this role different from her other roles in the past?

“This time kasi merong about sa government, ‘yun ‘yung difference, ‘yung nangyayari sa gobyerno, ‘yung paggunaw ng mundo.”

As the President of our country, what will she do to save her constituents in Genesis?

“Bilang Presidente dapat gagamitin mo rin hindi lamang ‘yung puso mo kundi ‘yung isip mo rin, kung papaano ang gagawin mo na diskarte para maaayos mo kung ano man ‘yung disaster na dumadating.”

She also adds that being the President is not easy because the lives of many is at stake and in her hands,

”Dadalawa pa lang ang naging president natin na babae sa Pilipinas so alam natin na mas marami ang lalaki talaga, because being a president is really a guy thing.”

She says, “Kailangan meron kang leadership na tinatawag. Kailangan din tough, ‘yung character na pagiging lalake pero ‘yung heart is on the woman's side. You have to be really tough but with a heart. ’Yun ‘yung pinaka-importante dun.”

If the world will end now, who will she save first? “Pamilya, siyempre,” she quickly answers.

What if she becomes the president of our country and she has to choose over her family and our country?

“Uunahin ko siyempre ‘yung bayan kasi ikaw na ang ina ng bayan dahil ikaw ‘yung president. Automatic naman na magkaroon ng pribelihiyo bilang presidenet na maisasama at mailigtas ang kanyang pamilya because of the position.”
