The Missing actress Miles Ocampo shared that there were years when she became less productive in her life for years because of social media.

In a video uploaded on Regal Entertainment's YouTube channel, Miles and The Missing co-stars Ritz Azul and Joseph Marco were asked if they wished to go back in time.

Miles answered, "Siguro kung mayroon akong babalikan para ulitin, 'yung mga nakaraang taon, masyado akong nagbabad sa social media."

"Kaya na-realize ko na parang gusto ko na mas maging productive ako. 'Yung oras ko, as much as possible, magbasa or anything.

"Basta ayoko na makulong lang ako doon sa mga screens na nakikita ko."

For Ritz, she remembered a moment when she was still studying when she lost a chance to make her father proud.

She answered, "Wala namang particular na mabigat. Siguro mayroon lang akong gustong balikan."

"Mayroon kasi akong award sa school noon, leadership award. E, sabi ng teacher ko, 'wag na magdala ng parent, hindi na kailangan na sabitan.

"So pinipilit ko sa magulang ko, lalo na sa papa ko, na hindi na kailangan. E, 'yung papa ko, pinipilit niya na kailangan, kailangan.

"E, hindi naman ako honor student so 'yun lang 'yung isasabit niya sana sa akin. Kaso pinilit ko [na hindi na kailangan.]

"So nung dumating na 'yung awarding, nakita ko lahat may magulang, ako lang 'yung wala.

"So text ako agad sa papa ko, takbo siya agad, akyat siya sa auditorium na fourth floor, tinakbo niya 'yung hagdan.

"Tapos nung dumating siya, nasa stage na ako, kakasabit lang nung teacher ko.

"Parang, nagkamali ako, hindi ko man lang nabigyan ng chance 'yung papa ko na maging proud siya na sinabitan niya ako dahil sa katigasan ng ulo ko."

Meanwhile, Joseph did not want to change anything that has already happened because it taught him lessons.

"To be honest, wala naman kasi kung ano man 'yung mga nangyari sa akin nung nakaraan, it made me who I am right now," he explained.

"If ever I'm gonna changed something, siguro sana dati pa lang, hino-hone ko na 'yung craft ko, which is acting and directing.

"Siguro sana nag-aral ako before pero as I've said, no regrets."

In The Missing, Joseph portrays the Japan-based architect Job, who takes on a restoration project alongside his ex-lover Iris, played by Ritz.

Miles is Len Santos, an intern in Job's firm.
