KAPAMILYA actress Dimples Romana is thankful that she’s never ran out of film or TV projects despite being known as an underrated actress.
“Noong una, bata pa ako, hindi ko po alam kung ano’ng ibig sabihin nun. Pero nung sinabi nila sa akin yun, sa tutoo lang po nakakatuwa po yun or nakakataba rin ng puso,” said Romana, during an interview in “Tonight with Boy Abunda” over ABS-CBN.
“Kesa naman masyadong malakas ang dating mo. Parang mas gusto ko yung naa-appreciate nila ang ginagwa ko at feeling ko meron pa akong ibang mararating. I’d rather be underrated than overrated,” said Romana, who plays Michelle Ramirez in the teleserye “And I Love You So.”
Asked if she’s still waiting for her big break, Romana said: “May mga oras na pingdadasal ko na kelan ko maibibigay yung para sa kanila. Pero kapag nakikita ko kung ano’ng meron ako sa tahanan ko, kumpleto ang pamilya ko, kasama ko ang mga anak ko, may asawa akong nagmamahal at sumusuporta sa trabaho ko, may mga magulang at kaibigan ako, in the end, yung mga pakiramdam ko na kulang pa, na kaya pang gawin at kaya pang ibigay sa akin, napupunan ko na rin ng ibang bagay.”
Romana also said that she is thankful to ABS-CBN for giving her film and television projects.
“Sa tutoo lang, nung nagsimula akong magtrabaho sa ABS-CBN, 12 years old ako nun at ngayon 31 na, never akong nababakante sa trabaho. Yun lang po ang ipinag-papasalamat ko nang malaki,” she added.
Romana said that she also loves her new “Pambansang Best Frend” tag in reference to the numerous best friend character she played.
“I really love that tag not only because I love playing characters that mean a lot but because I also make friends,” she said.
“Hindi lang sa screen ko sila nagiging kaibigan kundi sa tutoong buhay na rin. Sa awa ng Diyos lahat ng nakasama ko sa pelikula kaibigan ko pa rin hanggang ngayon,” Romana said.
Romana was last seen in the blockbuster movie “A Second Chance” and will soon be seen in the flick “Must Date a Playboy.” She is married to Boyet Ahmee and they have two children Callie and Alonzo Romeo Jose.
