Yen Santos back on primetime
Yen Santos is back on primetime via the sultry soap
Magpahanggang Wakas together with Jericho Rosales and Arci Muñoz.
Since joining the soap in the last week of October as the friendly damsel-in-distress Issa Ordoñez, Yen has been lauded by netizens for her acting and comedic timing. Some commented about her improved acting and growing star factor ever since she came out of the Pinoy Big Brother house in 2010.
Magpahanggang Wakas has gained a solid following since its debut, as seen on its strong pilot episode rating of 25.1 percent and a peak rating of 26.8 last Sept. 20, according to Kantar Media.
“I didn’t expect to become part of the show,” she said.
“Biglaan lang po talaga. When I learned about the good news, I got excited because I wanted to work with Echo.”
Magpahanggang Wakas is Yen’s first project with Jericho.
“I’m thankful because I easily warmed up to him or became comfortable with him…
ang bait nya. He’s easy to work with,” Yen said. The Pinoy Big Brother: Teen
Clash 2010 housemate is no stranger though to being paired with bankable leading men on primetime.
Yen’s first brush as a headlining-leading lady happened in 2014 through the local adaptation of the Korean series of the same name Pure Love, opposite Joseph Marco, Matt Evans and Arjo Atayde with Alex Gonzaga.
Late last year, Yen once again proved her acting talent through the primetime soap All of Me with JM de Guzman and Albert Martinez.
Apart from her soap, fans can look forward to Yen’s first-ever movie titled Once In A Lifetime, opposite Piolo Pascual. It may be recalled that the new tandem left for New Zealand a couple of months ago to film several scenes of their movie. Yen happily shared that their film is already 60 percent completed.
“Sobrang memorable po ng experience because it’s my first movie, shot in New Zealand and I get to work with Papa P,” she gushed.
The 23-year-old star unabashedly confessed that she initially had a hard time working on the film, but for good reasons.
“Hindi po naging madali sakin nung una kasi natutulala po ako palagi kay Papa P.
Sobrang gwapo nya po,” said Yen. “Everything is so surreal.”
The playdate of their film has yet to be revealed.
