CEBU, Philippines — The fight for love, family, and country is about to get more heart-pounding as Sanya Lopez captivates audiences with her powerful portrayal of Teresita Borromeo in the historical drama series “Pulang Araw.”
Her character’s journey as a comfort woman during World War II is intense and moving. As Teresita, Sanya embodies the resilience and strength of countless women who suffered during this dark chapter in Philippine history. The gripping moments in which Teresita hears the cries of fellow Filipinos show not only her character’s dilemma but also the sacrifice that the program aims to show.
“Pinakagusto ko talaga sa character ko dito, siya yung pinaka nagsasakripisyo. Pagdating sa pagmamahal sa pamilya, sa kapatid, sa nobyo, sa talento niya, at pagmamahal sa ama. Ang dami niyang sinasakripisyo. Kaya ‘yon ‘yung isa mga nagustuhan ko, laging willing na, ‘Ako na lang. Okay lang basta okay kayo.’”
