As the finale of season one of Running Man Philippines draws near, Kapuso Action-Drama Prince Ruru Madrid admitted in an interview that there were some things he regretted that he wasn't able to do while shooting for the biggest reality show.
Ruru, who just finished his big teleserye Lolong, then traveled to South Korea in July.
The Kapuso actor shared that he wasn't in the right state of mind when he was shooting for Running Man Philippines and even on the first day, he was already feeling homesick.
“Sobrang dami kong realization.” Ruru recalled.
“Naalala ko 'yung sinasabi, like si Kap [Mikael Daez], lagi niyang sinasabi, 'Alam n'yo dapat i-enjoy lang natin 'to'.
“Kasi ako to be honest, nung time na nasa Korea ako, parang eto, ngayon ko lang sasabihin sa inyo. Parang feeling ko nung time na 'yun wala talaga ako sa matinong pag-iisip. Parang feeling ko hindi ko kasi masyado na na-enjoy 'yung mga panahon ko kasama ko pamilya ko, kasi , right after ng taping namin ng Lolong. Wala pang isang buwan, pumunta na agad sa Korea. So, parang first day pa lang homesick na ako.”
He then continued, “Tapos ginagawa ko na lang siya, ine-enjoy ko na lang. Pinipilit ko na 'yung sarili ko na i-enjoy na lang 'tong mga moments na 'to.”
“Tapos siyempre right after niyan, nag-taping kami ng Running Man nakauwi na kami sa Pilipinas- ang dami kong parang realization na nagsisi rin ako somehow na, 'Sana pala mas ninamnam ko 'yung mga moments namin together. Nung mga panahon na kesa ipahinga ko, sana pala mas sumama na lang ako sa grupo',”
“Ang dami ko ganun.”
“I'm blessed na part ako ng Running Man, pero hindi ako 100% na nandoon talaga sa Korea parang ganun 'yung pakiramdam ko. Ang dami ko pa ring iniisip. Sobrang dami kong realizations na parang sabi ko sa sarili ko, 'sana pala mas in-enjoy ko'.”
Still, Ruru will treasure every moment he spent in Korea and cherish the opportunity to live independently for a while.
According to the Sparkle leading man, “Memorable 'yung experience ko buong time na nasa Korea kami. For the first time naging independent ako, natuto ako maglaba, first time ko magawa 'yun.
“Natuto ako magligpit ng hinihigaan ko. natuto ako magtiklop, natuto ako bumili ng kung ano kailangan ko.”
