Enchong Dee and Paul Soriano have a project together
Kapamilya actor Enchong Dee shared his thoughts on working with director Paul Soriano despite their political differences.
Enchong has done several movies this year. He is part of the movie GomBurZa which is one of the official entries for the Metro Manila Film Festival 2023. Aside from this, he is also one of the main cast members of the movie The Fisher which was part of the Tokyo International Film Festival.
The said movie also features award-winning actor Mon Confiado and award-winning actress Heaven Peralejo. This project was directed by Direk Paul.
It is known to many that both Enchong Dee and Paul Soriano were very vocal about their political stands in the last 2022 elections. The actor supported former Vice President Leni Robredo as his candidate for president while Direk Paul’s winning candidate was President Bongbong Marcos.
Despite the political differences, Enchong did a project with the director and this showed their professionalism. In a recent interview, based on the article in Bandera, the actor said that he is happy to have the chance to work with the director.
“Naku, nakakatuwa! Kasi nu’ng time na yon, isa siya sa mga producers at directors na in-embrace ako. It was a sensitive year for a lot of us pero nag-focus lang kami sa trabaho. And because of that, yung dahilan na nag-focus lang ako sa trabaho, nakaabot kami sa China, nakaabot kami sa Japan,” he said.
Enchong added that this project has become a blessing for them. He also believes that the situation is in the healing process already. The actor stressed that this is needed and that healing is the reason why he can smile.
Meanwhile, Enchong Dee is also set to do a movie next year and this will be his first international acting project. He shared that they just finished the actors’ strike in Hollywood. “Finally, dahil tapos na siya, we can start onboarding SAG actors,” he enthused.
