Huling napanood ang aktres na si Ayen Munji-Laurel sa Afternoon Prime drama na Maghihintay Pa Rin bilang si Rio De Villa, ang ina ng karakter ni Bianca King. Ngayon ay nagbabalik-telebisyon siya bilang si Ruth Perez sa primetime series na My Destiny.
Itinuturing showbiz comeback ni Ayen ang teleseryeng ito dahil ilang buwan din siyang nagpahinga pagkatapos manganak last February. Ang kanyang baby girl na si Sofia ang second child niya with singer and actor Franco Laurel.
"It's a good comeback for me because kakapanganak ko pa lang. I gave birth four months ago to a baby girl. So I'm back, and another good show in primetime," saad niya.
Isang karangalan para sa aktres ang makasama sa pinakabagong Telebabad offering ng Kapuso network. "Of course, it's an honor because you are working with the best. Aside from Direk Joyce, ang mga artista, no question, they had successful shows in the past, and I have worked with Carla also noong nag-uumpisa pa lang siya, when she was doing Rosalinda."
How similar or different is Ruth to the real Ayen?
"Siguro similar siya kasi I'm also a mom, and I love my children. Ipaglalaban ko 'yung mga anak ko kahit ano ang mangyari and they are my priority. Ang difference, 'yung character ko dito nag-nervous breakdown. Ako sa totoong buhay, sa awa ng Diyos, hindi pa naman ako nagka-nervous breakdown (laughs)."
As for the show, Ayen believes that what sets it apart from other teleseryes is its powerhouse cast. "Kita mo 'yung mga strength ng mga artista na magkakasama dito. Story-wise, the conflict is there, but I guess 'yung love for each other will always win."
My Destiny begins on June 30, right after Niño on GMA Telebabad.
