Will Rhian Ramos enter politics? Actress answers

Does Rhian Ramos have plans to enter politics?

Rhian guested on Friday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” and opened up about her perspective on politics after witnessing the recent mayoral bid of her boyfriend, Sam Verzosa, who lost in Manila.

“I have to say I was a bit brokenhearted for him kasi ‘pag mahal mo ‘yung isang tao, you don't want them to be in pain, ‘di ba? Ayaw mo silang makita na malungkot or—I was scared na siya ‘yung ma-bo-brokenhearted,” she said.

Rhian also recounted that Sam cried, which she found understandable given the significant effort and investment he put into the campaign every day.

“He has every right naman kung iiyak siya for himself kasi malaki ‘yung tinaya niya, ‘di ba? At tsaka every day niyang pinaghirapan ‘yon. Pero ‘yung iniyak niya sa ‘kin, ‘yung mga ni-let down niya daw na tao,” she said.

When asked if she would consider a career in politics herself after processing Sam’s experience, Rhian said, “Dati sinabi ko ayoko. Nagbago na isip ko. Ayaw na ayaw ko na pala.”

“Ayaw ko talaga. Ang lungkot kasi. I mean, I don't know, siguro just based on what I've seen and what I've experienced, parang I feel like politics is a system that might even work against you pa nga eh. So ayon, depende,” she said.

Manila elected Isko Moreno as mayor in the recent election.

Meanwhile, Rhian is set to star in “Sang’gre” as Mitena.

She is the twin sister of Cassiopeia, a character played by Solenn Heussaff in the series that aired in 2016. Cassiopeia is the first queen of Lireo.

"Sang'gre" is a spinoff of the iconic Kapuso fantaserye "Encantadia."

It will introduce the newest keepers of the brilyantes: Flamarra (Faith Da Silva), Deia (Angel Guardian), Adamus (Kelvin Miranda), and Terra (Bianca Umali).

Aside from Rhian, "Sang'gre" will feature a new set of characters which include Ysabel Ortega as Armea, the late Ricky Davao as Governor Emil, and Sienna Stevens who will take on the role of younger Mitena.

"Sang'gre" will premiere on GMA Prime on June 16.
