At the press conference, the actress added: “To be honest, the pandemic that we are experiencing right now is difficult and heartbreaking. When I got sick, I realized that the virus has different effects on different people. I also learned that it’s real and difficult [to defeat]. It has changed how I see the things happening around us.”
Cherry Pie said she didn’t exhibit any symptom at the beginning, “but it became increasingly difficult as the days went on. It was painful to the body and to the head.” She developed pneumonia later on and was “monitored” by her doctor while at home. “We still don’t know what the medicine for this virus is, so strengthening the immune system is important, and so is knowing and practicing the right breathing exercises,” she pointed out. “I’m still not my normal self. I’m still working on regaining my full strength, but life goes on. I still try to be careful because going out of the house is unavoidable, especially since we all need to secure supplies and run other errands.
In “Walang Hanggang Paalam,” Cherry Pie played the scheming Amelia who made life difficult for the main characters, Celine and Emmanuel . “I really enjoyed playing Amelia. It’s been a while since I played kontrabida in a drama series. I like characters that are more complicated because I’m able to experiment with it, unlike if I just play a simple mother,” Cherry Pie pointed out.
Cherry Pie also said: “I don’t believe that love is a game. You give it whether it’s returned or not. You feel it whether you want it or not. You just keep loving. It’s never meant to hurt nor destroy anyone.” INQ
