MANILA – Maymay Entrata was unable to stop the tears from falling down her cheeks during the press conference of her upcoming movie “Loving in Tandem” which also stars her onscreen partner, Edward Barber.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Entrata explained that she became emotional because she never imagined herself promoting a movie which she herself would headline.

“Hindi ako makapaniwala sa blessing ngayon. Lord grabe na ito. Sa ngayon, ito na yung pinakamalaking way para ma-inspire ko [ang mga tao] ng sobra [na huwag sila titigil mangarap],” she said.

Emphasizing how overwhelmed she feels about starring in a movie, Entrata shared: “Napaisip ako, parang napa-flashback ako na grabe, pinangarap ko lang lahat ng ito tapos ngayon, ito na. Thank you Lord. Sa dinami-dami, bakit ako ang napili niya?”

Nonetheless, the young actress said she would never stop dreaming and working hard to achieve her goals.

“Ang buhay natin mas maganda kung hindi ka titigil mangarap kasi mas magiging makulay yung buhay mo, mas may purpose yung buhay mo. Ang dami ko pa pong pangarap at habang nabubuhay ako, hindi ako titigil na mangarap,” she said.

Meanwhile, Barber shared his thoughts about people’s comments pressuring them to be together in real life.

“I think if you get pressured by, ‘Okay guys get together now. Edward, kiss kiss.’ I’ve heard that at mall shows. You feel they want you to do it. But if you let yourself be pressured by these things, mawawala yung saya. You don’t enjoy it anymore,” he said.

If he lets the pressure get into his head, Barber said he would not be at ease working with Entrata.

“If I was like that with Maymay, I wouldn’t be able to act with her because it’ll be just too awkward. So if you let yourself be pressured and pushed in the situations you don’t want to be in, you won’t enjoy it anymore,” he said.

Directed by Giselle Andres, Barber and Entrata’s movie "Loving In Tandem" is slated to come out in cinemas nationwide on September 13.
