Sa naganap na pocket press conference noong Valentine's Day, February 14, inamin ni Bianca na kung ikukumpara sa kanyang previous roles, dito sa Sahaya siya pinaka-excited.

"I'm super excited and nervous at the same time. Sahaya also is my most challenging role. I mean, all my roles have been really challenging also, but Sahaya is different kasi isa po siya sa mga pangarap ko.

"Before, I dreamed of being a mermaid, and never in my wildest dreams have I thought that I would get a role which is Sahaya. Yes, hindi po siya mermaid, pero mahal na mahal po niya ang dagat at buhay niya ang pagsisisid niya. It's actually very exciting for me kasi I love the water. I think that's why parang meron akong personal connection with Sahaya's character."

Dagdag pa niya. "Sobrang na-excite po ako kasi ito pa lang ang show ko na, I mean in my past shows I gave my 200 percent, but this time, it's like a thousand times more. I'm so excited."

Abangan ang Sahaya ngayong Marso sa GMA Telebabad.
