“Nahirapan po ako sa paglalagay ng packaging tape noong first day of taping,” he shared to PEP’s reporter Jerry Olea.

This is aside from the fact that he had to wear a wig and makeup of a woman.

When asked if he had apprehensions in accepting the role, Ahron Villena said yes.

At first he thought that he might not give justice to the role.

“Nung una po, nag-alinlangan ako. Kasi, hindi ko alam kung kaya kong gawin. First time kong gumawa ng transgender na role. Pero naisip ko kasi, first work ko for 2019 at maganda ang role na ibinigay at ipinagkatiwala sa akin ng MMK, kaya tinanggap ko,” he said.

Talking about his onscreen partner, the actor said that Ritz Azul is easy to work with.

They already had the chance to work with each other when they were still in TV5 and in an indie film.

Magaan po yung trabaho namin, kasi, hindi na kami naiilang. Nagtulungan po kami lalo na sa mga mabibigat na eksena,” Ahron said, based on the report.
