Zaijian prays for Dolphy’s health
Child star Zaijian Jaranilla is praying for the full recovery of Dolphy, whom he has worked with in the defunct Kapamilya soap “May Bukas Pa.”
“Sana po ay gumaling po siya sa kanyang malubhang sakit at pagkatapos niyang gumaling ay masaya siya,” Zaijian said at the press conference of ABS-CBN’s upcoming TV drama “Lorenzo’s Time” on Thursday, June 21.
Fun on the set
Zaijian recalls that he and the Comedy King always had fun on the set.
“Lagi kaming masaya. Palagi siyang nakakatawa. Naawa ako, kasi nung “May Bukas Pa,” malakas pa siya noon, tapos ngayon mahina na siya.”
Zaijian added that Dolphy was already using an oxygen tank back then to support his breathing.
“Noong nagtatrabaho po kami ay nakakaawa kasi po kapag break mayroon siyang panghinga (oxygen).”
After his noteworthy performances in “May Bukas Pa” and “Ikaw ang Pag-ibig,” Zaijian feels blessed at having another good project from the Kapamilya network. Zaijian plays the title role in “Lorenzo’s Time,” a child diagnosed with progeria.
Acting workshops
Zaijian shared that he prepared for his role by undergoing acting workshops under Pen Medina.
“Parang sinasabi niya po kasi sa akin kung ano ‘yung dapat kong gawin. Itinuro niya kung paano ‘yung lakad ko, yung lakad na pangmayaman, pangmahirap. Pero may script siyang binibigay sa akin, tapos po kung paano ‘yung boses ko at throw lines kami.” he said.
Carmina Villarroel plays Zaijian’s love interest.
“Noong una po medyo nahihiya-hiya pa ako. Medyo nasanay na po,” Zaijian said.
Directed by Jerome Pobocan and Tots Mariscal Sanchez, “Lorenzo’s Time” premieres in ABS-CBN Primetime Bida on July 2.
