Kylie Padilla, Miguel Tanfelix, more 'Taskforce Firewall' stars offer glimpse into characters through signature weapons

Kylie Padilla, Miguel Tanfelix, Jak Roberto, and Buboy Villar gave a closer look at their respective “Taskforce Firewall” characters by revealing the weapons they believe best represent them.

During the show’s media conference, Kylie described her character, Isa, as someone armed and mission-driven, but not entirely comfortable with taking lives.

“I think si Isa, gumagamit siya ng baril because she has two tapos she's on a mission pero I think deep inside, ayaw niya talagang—kung posible, hindi siya papatay ng tao. But kung pipili siya, hand combat na lang para there’s a chance na poposasan na lang niya,” she said.

Miguel, meanwhile, said his character Galo would choose four-finger knuckles over firearms, reflecting a more personal and emotional fighting style.

“‘Yung character ko, si Galo, four-finger [knuckles]. Kasi feeling ko, ‘yung character ko kasi parang mas gusto niyang mas ramdam ‘yung bawat suntok eh. Mas intimate din pero ‘yung, alam mo ‘yun, kasi ‘pag baril, parang hindi niya ramdam eh. Pero pag sinusuntok niya ‘yung kalaban niya, mas ramdam niya, mas na-re-release niya ‘yung galit. And at the same time nasasaktan din siya,” he said.

Jak, who plays Hex, said his character’s greatest weapon is not physical at all.

“Signature weapon? Wala naman, computer lang. Basta ‘yung character ko, bigyan mo lang ng laptop, kaya ko na i-access lahat,” he said.

For Buboy, who portrays Jhay-Jhay, the character’s weapon of choice reveals both fear and passion.

“Siguro bukod doon sa sobrang haba kong baril na revolver, bukod doon sa revolver ko na hawak—kasi si Jhay-Jhay, takot naman din siya sa baril eh. Ayaw niya nga ring gamitin ‘yun kasi gustong-gusto talaga ni Jhay-Jhay ay magpalipad po talaga ng drone. ‘Yun ‘yung hobby niya,” he said.

"Taskforce Firewall" also stars Kyline Alcantara, Lexi Gonzales, Cheska Fausto, Shayne Sava, John Vic De Guzman, and more.

"Taskforce Firewall" is set to premiere on GMA Network on May 25. —CDC, GMA News
