'Abot Kamay Na Pangarap' actor Richard Yap reveals he tries to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor

Alam n'yo bang ang biggest dream ni Richard Yap noon ang maging isang doktor?

Sa upcoming GMA drama series na Abot Kamay Na Pangarap, tila natupad na ang ilan sa mga gusto niyang gawin noon. Hindi man sa totoong buhay, bibigyang-buhay naman ni Richard ang karakter ng isang seryosong doktor na si Dr. Robert “RJ” Tanyag.

Sa katunayan, kamakailan lang ay sumailalim sa ilang medical trainings ang aktor, kasama ang iba pang cast ng serye, para matutunan ang mga bagay na kanilang gagawin para sa kanilang roles.

Sa latest episode ng online podcast na Surprise Guest with Pia Arcangel, masayang ibinahagi ni Richard ang ilang detalye tungkol sa kaniyang bagong proyekto sa GMA Network.

“Now, I'm doing Abot Kamay Na Pangarap… we're playing doctors here. As surgeons, [we're] trying to be familiar with everything that goes on in the operating room. You can't just wing it when you want to play a doctor. There are so many medical terms that might be incorrect when you say it. There are so many things that you do that might not be believable when you do it, if you don't know the proper way of doing it. So, we really have to learn the proper ways of doing all these things."

Sa kalagitnaan ng interview, sinagot ni Richard ang tanong ng host na si Pia Arcangel kung ito ba ang unang pagkakataon na gaganap siya sa isang serye bilang doktor.

Sagot niya, “Yes, but we're playing neurosurgeons here, so it's a very difficult part.”

Kasunod nito, may ibinunyag ang Chinito actor tungkol sa kaniyang biggest dream,

“I wanted to be a neurosurgeon when I was younger, and I actually took up pre-med for 2 years and a half before my father stopped me. But, if I can't be a real one you might as well play it. So, it is a dream role.”

Dagdag pa niya, “I actually took it up [Medical Technology] for two years. Then, my father told me to stop because he wanted me to take up a business course. After two terms in La Salle, I stopped again for a term because I wanted to go back to medicine. So, I applied to the University of Santo Tomas.

"But they wanted me to go back to first year, so I said, well never mind, might as well finish business na lang, I guess, it wasn't meant for me. I always wanted to help people, in a way I had this idea of being a knight in shining armor for people who are sick and I have a sister who is a doctor also.”
