Derrick Monasterio talks about his physical preparations for his afternoon serye 'Makiling.'
Aside from preparing for his emotional and heavy scenes in the afternoon series Makiling, Derrick Monasterio also doubled down in maintaining his physique as Alex.
The Sparkle hunk told 24 Oras that he made some adjustments to his diet to achieve his look in the high-rating drama series.
Derrick shared, “Off cam sobrang into fitness din talaga ako, kaya parang nandito 'yung heart ko.
“Actually, binago ko 'yung diet ko ngayon dito, kasi I tried to lose muscle, kasi I look too big on screen. So, what I'm doing now is nago-one meal a day lang ako Tito [Lhar].”
The homegrown Kapuso actor also talked about doing his confrontation scene with fellow actor Richard Quan, who plays his father in Makiling.
A bit of trivia, Derrick mentioned that it was their very first scene in the soap and they already had to go big with their acting.
He recalled, “Yun 'yung pinakauna namin ginawang eskena, so, medyo nangangapa pa kami sa character. Pero we need to go really big na agad on the first scene. So, medyo challenging. Pero, masaya kasi, once nandoon ko na sa flow ng emotion Tito tuloy-tuloy, e.”
What are some of the thing's viewers should watch for in the upcoming episodes of Makiling?
“Paglabas namin ng probinsya, dun na mangyayari lahat ng pinakagrabeng pananakit, pambu-bully. So 'yung mga kailangan abangan ng mga tao.” Derrick noted.
