C6 t Andrea Torres steps up...
places as well as Banaue.
“I experienced a lot of new things,” recalled Andrea of working on the set of Pasional. “Before I left for Argentina, I had a training in tango. But when I arrived there, I was surprised that the tango that we know (and I trained for) is different from the tango they’re doing there, which is called milonga. It’s more intimate. You have to follow your partner, kung saan ka niya dadalhin (You follow his lead during the dance). There’s no choreography really, it is based on where he is leading you and that makes it intimate kasi nga nagpapakiramdaman kayong dalawa. They also taught me Spanish lines (and how to deliver them).” Her leading man Marcelo was a big help to Andrea and she found “a very good mentor and a strict one” in him. “I enjoyed it because iba yung tono niya sa pananalita natin. When I was doing it, I felt like I was singing.” The actress expressed interest to carry on in learning Spanish since it’s the second most used (spoken) language, said Andrea, adding that she can use it “in future projects or when I visit them kasi naging sobrang close na rin talaga kami.”
What’s in the pipeline for Andrea’s career after Pasional?
“I’ve heard there’s a show being planned for me,” replied she. “I’m very excited about it. (If it’s going to be pushed through), I’ll be working with this (Pinoy) actor for the first time. I’ve also done a Netflix series with Ian Veneracion, isa rin po yun sa dapat abangan (it’s also something one can look forward to).”
Based on the information provided by GMA, independent Filipino producer Ferdinand Dimadura is also part of Pasional. The film will hopefully increase the network’s international presence “while (it is) also creating content for Kapuso audiences abroad,” it stated.
Aside from the romance, replete with struggles and triumphs, as one can also anticipate, between the two lead characters, Pasional is also a platform for everyone to see the similarities and differences between two cultures as well as the shared Spanish heritage between two countries.
