Based on a report from PUSH, Maxine Medina said she can’t accept daring roles because she grew up in a conservative family and she respects her father. Aside from being conservative she said she also grew up in a religious family.
“I’m a Catholic din po. And siguro, for them, it’s art. Pero sa akin po talaga, no-no po talaga! Kasi ang mom and dad ko po, talagang watching over me. Di ba, parang ang hirap naman po?”
“Nung bata kami, every 7 pm. lagi kaming nagdarasal, rosary, ganyan. Pero yung acting, it’s very liberating. Dati pigil na pigil ako kasi siyempre yung upbringing kasi sa amin, sa family namin na very conservative.”
“Hindi ka puwedeng maging malandi. Hindi ka puwedeng maging ganyan. Basta alam mo yung parang ano—hangga’t kaya mong tiisin, tiisin mo. Pero do as much as kung ano yung tinuro ni God, kung ano yung tinuro ni Jesus, ng parents mo. Pero nung pinasok ko na ang pag-arte, napakarami kong natutunan. Masuwerte rin ako na lagi akong tinuturuan ng mga co-actors ko noon sa Los Bastardos,” she added.
