Well-Kept Longing For Her Project to Close

Whenever a project ends, the cast usually expresses disappointment and gratitude. First, actors express their disappointment and say that they will miss the role that they have played for a season or two. Then, they would also say they will not forget the fun times with the production crew and thus, the disappointment will be in not working with the same people. Second, most actors leave messages of gratitude in their social media accounts and end with their character’s name signing off. Nonetheless, this gesture seems to be the least they could do for those who followed their project.

Talented Actress (TA) expressed her gratitude in her social media some time ago. TA said that she was thankful for the role, her director, and the location shoots that went with their storyline. While her message could be read with the attitude that it’s a generic statement, reading between the lines tells there is something deeper in her message.

The Challenging Project (CP) was a surprise assignment for TA and her fans because of the attempt of her network to try if she could move on to more mature roles. Without much say, as she is under contract, TA accepted the offer and encouraged fans to support her acting challenge. As the project unraveled, viewers realized that the theme was heavier than expected and when she and Her Partner (HP) were deglamorized for their roles, the fans did not easily catch on to these shifts in their looks and storyline.

After airing and a few weeks on TV, netizens were giving feedback and even TA was not spared from being criticized even though she was just fulfilling her role. Worse, the ratings were not as high as expected and reviews were not impressive. These items were new to TA, as she had always received good feedback on her teleseryes and even had most of them last for a couple of seasons. As if things were not enough, even the additional cast was being criticized not only by netizens, but also even by showbiz personalities who watch the project. Although the production value was seen in the locations, these peripherals were insufficient to draw the ratings and the audience.

These factors started to take its toll of TA. Then, the production and even the heads of the project noticed that TA seemed lethargic. The lack of zest soon affected her acting, and TA seemed to be acting mechanically. The passion for the role was not as strong as expected, and it seemed that TA was tired of acting a role she was not comfortable doing. Even the delivery of lines of TA lacked emotions, and people sensed that ending the project seemed to be the right decision. Thus, while others might be sad that CP ended, TA is quite happy that CP ended and her message was sincerely written with her heart. Now, TA could move on to other less pressure-ladened projects that could bring back her image that has endeared her to her followers.

Striving Not to be a Victim

Whenever someone you love gets sick, you normally worry and will do your best to help the person feel better. But who would have thought that the person you love is not just a victim of an ordinary bug bite or a simple fever and headache. These can be symptoms of a worse case, a life-threatening viral disease that is prevalent especially this rainy season. With just a single mosquito bite, you might lose the person you love the most. It is known that each year, dengue kills thousands of people around the globe. Thus, the world’s first anti-dengue vaccine was administered as prevention among public schoolchildren in the Philippines.

The said movement, which is part of DOH’s Anti-Dengue Advocacy Campaign, later raised controversies questioning its effects to children. That’s why aside from the vaccine, DOH continually reinforces its campaign with encouragements to families to wear protective clothing, stay in well-screened housing, reduce mosquito habitats, and to seek early consultations. Also, for families to avoid dengue, it is recommended to use repellent lotion for added protection that is proven safe like the Moringa-O2 Herbal Insect Repellent Lotion. What about you, what do you do to protect your family?
