Shanelle Agustin is one of the budding new Kapuso artists, and in a recent Kapuso Brigade ZOOMustahan virtual event, she talked about her latest guest appearance on Wish Ko Lang and being part of the upcoming Agimat ng Agila Season 2.

The young actress said she had a pleasant experience working with her veteran co-actors in Wish Ko Lang's “Kamandag: The Finale” episode.

“Sobrang saya po ng pang second ko na 'Wish Ko Lang' [episode] kasi naging mag-friends po kami lahat dun, lalo na po sina Ate Jopay. Nagkukuwentuhan po kami habang nasa tent kami."

“Ang sobrang professional po ng co-actors ko. Hindi po mahirap mag-trabaho kasama sila."

“Hindi po ko nahirapan sa bawat scene namin nina Sunshine Cruz and Polo Ravales kasi sila po 'yung parents ko dun and super smooth lang po ng taping namin.”

Shanelle said she relates to how her character, Danica, prioritizes her education.

“Siguro po mas nakaka-relate po ako dun sa pagiging active niya sa education niya, pinapahalagahan niya po 'yun. Sobrang na-inspire po ako kasi gusto niya pong maging proud 'yung parents niya.”

She also revealed that the story of “Kamandag: The Finale” has actually emotionally affected her, especially because Sunshine Cruz, who plays her mother Elaine, rendered a very convincing portrayal.

“Sobrang nalungkot lang po kasi, kaya naapektuhan ako siyempre habang binabasa ko po 'yung script namin from the beginning po, sobrang wala po kaming alam ng mom ko kasi kung anu-ano po 'yung pinaggagagawa ng daddy ko."

“Pero 'yung love po sa 'kin ng daddy ko, sobrang supportive, ganyan. Tapos binibigay niya po 'yung mga kailangan namin."

“And then in the end, siya rin po pala 'yung sisira sa family namin nung nalaman po namin na marami pala siyang babae. Ayon. Dun po nasira lahat, lahat ng magagdandang moments namin. So, nakakalungkot po 'yung role ko dun and sobrang naapektuhan po ako.

“Habang nasa taping nga po ako, talagang apektado ako eh. Kasi si Ms. Sunshine po, talagang ramdam ko rin po 'yung pagiging professional niya sa pag-portray niya ng role niya kaya feeling ko totoo po 'yung mga nangyayari dun.”

Shanelle also shared what were the most unforgettable scenes for her in the said episode.

“'Yung hindi ko po makalimutan dun is 'yung nalaman na po naming 'yung sikreto ng daddy ko na meron siyang legal wife, and 'yung bigla po akong natuklaw ng ahas dahil lang po sa bangayan nila ni mommy and 'yung legal wife.”

The Kapuso actress also revealed during the virtual event that she's going to be part of Agimat ng Agila Season 2.

“Magsa-start na po 'yung taping namin niyan this November. So, sobrang excited po ako dun kasi makakasama ko sina Bong Revilla and 'yung mga bagong cast din po.”

Shanelle said she's truly grateful and elated for her latest projects in GMA and shared what she's most looking forward to in the future.

“'Yung journey ko dito sa pagiging Kapuso, sobrang dream come true po talaga kasi matagal ko na pong pangarap 'to, maging artista. And until now, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang nandito na ko sa panagrap ko. And I'm looking forward na magkaroon ng sariling teleserye po someday.”
