MANILA, Philippines -- After several years in show business, it seems actress-singer Nikki Gil has finally been bitten by the acting bug.
Encouraged by her well-praised performance in the primetime series "Apoy Sa Dagat," as well as in the stage musical "They're Playing Our Song," Gil said she is now itching to do more acting projects.
"I recently discovered na gusto ko siya. Ngayon masasabi ko na mahal ko pala ang acting, whether it be sa teleserye o sa teater. Gusto ko pala siya, mahal ko pala siya. Nag-aaral ako for it, nagre-research ako for it so sana ay mabigyan pa ng isang pagkakataon," said Gil, who played the young Odessa in "Apoy Sa Dagat," now being played by Angel Aquino.
Gil said she really enjoyed taping for the drama series.
"Sa isang banda parang background lang kami. Parang kailangan naming i-establish kung saan nanggaling sila Rebecca, Serena at sila Ruben. Pero sobrang ganda ng kwento ng 'Apoy Sa Dagat.' Kaya kung natuwa sila sa first part ay mas mahu-hook sila sa mga susunod na araw," she explained.
But at the same time, she said, "Malungkot ako kasi nag-enjoy ako na katrabaho sila. Kahit mabigat ang kwento ay ang saya ng set sobrang gaan kaya sobrang nalungkot ako pero I learned so much and I'm so excited for the rest of the story."
