MANILA -- Former child stars Mutya Orquia and Zaijian Jaranilla shared how they adjusted in their new roles as teens in "Darna."

In a press conference on Monday, Orquia said she was shy at first as her character Trisha has a different relationship with Ding (Jaranilla) compared to their roles as child actors.

"Nahihiya po ako kasi noon super kuya-kuya ko siya. Kuya po talaga ang tingin ko sa kanya before eh ngayon hindi pwedeng ganoon 'yung tingin ko sa kanya sa screen," Orquia said.

"Kailangan parang tropa po 'yung tingin ko sa kanya sa screen," she added.

Orquia said Jaranilla really helped her to get into her character and become more comfortable.

"Medyo na-relax din po ako kasi nakikipag-communicate rin po siya. Hindi po siya 'yung 'ah kaya mo na 'yan, bahala ka, may sarili ako.' Kumbaga sinasabi niya kung may suggestion din po siya sana," she said.

Jaranilla said it's always his way of care to help co-actors during shoots.

"Metikuloso po ako sa mga eksena kasi kung ano po 'yung sinabi ni direk, 'yun 'yung gagawin. Siguro 'yung working relationship ni Mutya, ako rin hindi nahirapan kasi nagkasama na kami sa 'Ikaw Ay Pag-ibig.' 'Yung communication po talaga sobrang importante 'yun," she said.

Orquia is known for her role as Abigail in "Be Careful With My Heart" while Jaranilla rose to fame as Santino in "May Bukas Pa."

"Darna" airs weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, CineMo, A2Z, TV5, iWantTFC, and TFC.

Jake Cuenca is "extremely grateful' to be part of "FPJ's Batang Quiapo" with lead star Coco Martin.

In "Tatak BQ: The FPJ's Batang Quiapo 2nd Anniversary Special," Cuenca said that he feels humbled joining the hit ABS-CBN show because he will be working with great actors.

"Sabi ko, 'thank you talaga.' Extremely grateful to be part of this big successful project. Sabi ko nga, nakaka-humble. Kasi it's always difficult to enter a show mid-way. Pero when you look at the cast, when you look at everyone here, totoo 'yung sinabi ni Ms. Osang (Rosanna Roces)--you are in the presence  of greatness," he said.

"Just here alone, dalawang mentor ko ang nandito--Tito Ronnie (Lazaro) and Tito Pen (Medina). Then my two idols are here also--Tito Albert (Martinez) and Tito Bo (Christopher de Leon)," he added.

Cuenca recalled the time he received the confirmation that he will be entering the show.

"I just smiled noong tumawag sa akin. Tapos sinabi sa akin, 'o papasok ka na.' Kasi nag-flashback sa akin ang 'Tayong Dalawa,' nag-flashback sa akin ang 'Ikaw Lamang,' nag-flashback sa akin ang 'Panday.' Definitely it feels like na nag-full circle kami rito. And sabi ko nga, I'm so excited," he said.

"As an actor you grow through experience, through projects. I'm just excited to experience the best version of Coco Martin and I'm excited to experience the best version of all the actors here. And thank you, thank you," he added.

Apart from Cuenca, also joining "Batang Quiapo" are Andrea Brillantes, Albert Martinez, and Angel Aquino.

It was last month when "Batang Quiapo" revealed its newest cast members as Martin and his co-stars received a heroes' welcome from their fellow Kapamilyas for the show's second anniversary.

"Batang Quiapo" airs weeknights at 8 p.m. on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, Cinemo, A2Z, and TV5. It's also available on iWantTFC and TFC.
