Legions of fans of actress Kristine Hermosa eagerly await her return to television this Sunday (June 19) via the new Kapuso sitcom, Hay Bahay!
In today's (June 13) press conference for the show held at 17th floor of the GMA Network main building, Kristine finally revealed the reason why she decided to do a sitcom and transferred to GMA-7.
She explained, “Matagal ko nang ipinagdasal ito, eh madaming offer ‘yung ABS sa akin dati pero parang hindi ko nararamdaman masyado eh. So, sabi ko I want something na hindi ko masa-sacrifice ‘yung time ko with family and ‘yun hindi ko mapapabayaan obligasyon ko siyempre bilang asawa at saka nanay ng mga anak ko.”
Kristine stressed that she wanted to do a comedy show rather than a soap, which she has been doing practically all her showbiz career.
“And something na iba naman, hindi naman puro iyakan. So 'yun, tapos ‘yun na nga kasama ko pa father-in-law [Vic Sotto] ko, ‘yung asawa ko [Oyo Sotto], mas masaya,”
The actress also added that she leaves it up to God on whether she will return to doing drama projects but she is definitely happy on the current status of her career.
Moreover, she is excited and at the same time feels the pressure that Hay, Bahay! will be loved by the televiewers.
“I don’t see it now depende kung saan ako dadalhin ni God. Kung gusto pa ba niya akong gumawa ng mga drama, hindi ko pa talaga masabi pa. As of now masaya ako sa ganito parang okay ako na relaxed lang.”
“Siyempre ako ‘yung unang-una na-excite pero kinakabahan din at the same time na parang Lord bahala ka na, let this show glorify You and I pray na maging successful talaga, ‘yun naman ‘yung prayer naming lahat.”
