Martin Del Rosario Enjoys Being Blind In 'Amorosa'

MARTIN DEL ROSARIO is one of the young actors ABS-CBN is building up to be a leading man. After making him play Gov. Vilma Santos’ son in the hit horror thriller “The Healing”, he now plays an even more challenging role in another scary movie that opens on August 29, “Amorosa”, as the blind son of Angel Aquino. Last year, he won as best new movie actor for the indie horror flick, “Dagim”.

“Challenging gumawa ng horror movie kasi lahat ng emotions mo, magagamit mo,” he says. “Dito sa ‘Amorosa’, maraming angst ang character ko, si Amiel, kasi hindi lang siya mabubulag kundi hindi siya favorite ng ina nilang si Angel Aquino kundi si Enrique Gil. I had a great time with Ms. Angel kasi kahit mom ko role niya rito, bagets na bagets ang sensibility niya, parang magka-age lang kami so very comfortable ako with her. Ganun din si Enrique na kasama ko sa ABS workshops kaya matagal na kaming magkakilala. For my bulag role, they had to train me before I faced the camera. Kailangan, wala kang nakikita at tagusan ang tingin mo kahit nasa harapan mo lang ang kausap mo. Also, dapat maliliit ang movements mo at hindi yung normal na galaw ng isang tao. Mahirap siya but Director Topel Lee said I did it quite well.”
