SEF Cadayona and Mikee Quintos are enjoying their roles as young versions of Pepito and Elsa on the prequel of Pepito Manaloto titled Ang Unang Kwento.
According to Sef, it is a big help that they are guided by the team that has been working behind Pepito Manaloto for around 11 years.
“Sobrang swerte po namin kas masaya po silang katrabaho. Lahat ng tulong na pwede nilang ma– contribute binibigay po nila sa amin ni Mikee at sa lahat ng actors and actresses ng Pepito Manaloto,” said Sef.
Sef, meanwhile, expressed kilig while describing his working relationship with Mikee.
“Mahilig po ako sa comedy pero pagdating sa love…” Sef expressed as he continued by just giggling.
“I’m so happy na si Mikee ang kasama ko at kami ang nagpo-portray ng Pepito at Elsa,” he added.
He stressed that “madali at masarap umarte kasama si Mikee.”
On the other hand, Mikee echoed Sef as she is also thankful for the guidance of the Pepito Manaloto team.
She said she hardly had a hard time portraying Elsa. She added that the guidance is there always, even when it comes to small details like a simple gesture of Elsa that she is trying to imitate.
“Kahit ganitong kaliit na bagay sobrang laki ng difference. Malaking tulong,” said Mikee.
Pepito Manaloto: Ang Unang Kwento started airing at GMA Network on July 17. It tells Elsa and Pepito’s love story which started in the ’80s.
