"I'd like to congratulate the (GMA) Artist Center, most especially Anthony Bova and Ana Feleo because they did an excellent job. Over the past year, we've seen the great improvement of our artists and it's because of all these efforts that they have been pouring into the project and of course, 'yung dedication din ng mga artista natin," she said.

The acclaimed acting coach shared the huge improvement that he noticed in the Kapuso talents.

According to Anthony, "They came in smaller than where they are now, and now they're not as afraid to take their space on set, take their space in life.

"No matter what training you have, if you don't feel entitled to take your space, that training will not help too much. They're very brave and I'm very proud of them for that," Anthony noted.

Veteran actress Ana Feleo, who also worked as a facilitator for the workshops, said that the artists are now more equipped to take on different and challenging roles.

"I've seen them grow in a short time, sa maiksing panahon ng isang taon, at ngayon napaka-confident na nila sa sarili nila at naging mas mabuti silang mga tao. Nakilala nila ang sarili nila at mas naging confident sila na kumbaga hindi na sila ganoon ka-takot na mag-explore ng iba't-ibang roles, iba't-ibang emotions," shared Ana.

Anthony also praised Ana's dedication to ensuring the workshop's success.

"Ana Feleo is brilliant and I trust her like no one else in this work in terms of respecting the actor. You can't teach this work if you don't have a fierce respect to the actor," he said.

After the workshop, both Anthony and Ana are confident that these Kapuso talents who took their workshop can be independent actors who can prepare for their roles on their own.

The acting coach will soon be back in the country to conduct another batch of workshops for Kapuso stars.
