The cast of “Running Man Philippines” recently flew to South Korea, expecting to challenge and enjoy themselves in the different wacky missions in store for them. But more than the fun and laughter, they returned home with new discoveries about themselves and lessons that they vowed to carry with them moving forward.
Glaiza de Castro, who mainly does television series, realized that there are projects out there that allow room for some spontaneity and surprises.
“As an actor, I’m used to being prepared. I know my lines and I know what to do when I arrive on the set. I know where I should focus. But in a show like this, it’s actually OK not to be prepared,” she related at a recent press conference for the local adaptation of the long-running reality game show from South Korea.
The Philippine version of the program, which is coproduced by GMA7 and SBS Korea, airs on Saturday and Sunday evenings, starting Sept 3.
“One time, the Korean staff asked me what I was doing. I told them I was preparing. And they said I didn’t have to prepare at all… That’s when I realized that I just had to be in the moment, be in the present and accept things as they happen,” added Glaiza, who described herself as an “introverted” person.
“I have learned to become more outspoken,” she said. “I usually put up walls around me. But now I’m more open to listening and sharing my personal experiences with other people.
