“Well, I’m glad maraming nakagusto sa performance ko kasi most of the time, hindi ako yung character na ginagampanan ko sa movie,” she says. “Lalo na kapag may conflict kami ng mga anak ni Zoren, played by Sofia Andres, Lucas Magallano and Alison McBride, parang ang taray at masyadong maangas ang dating ng character ko. Actually, hirap na hirap ako roon. Kung minsan, after I do a scene, sabi ko mismo sa sarili ko, ang sama naman niya kasi kung ako yun, I wouldn’t handle the same situation that way. Kasi ako, I can be straightforward and very frank in real life, pero hinahaluan ko ng lambing, kinakausap ko nang mahinahon ang mga tao and make sure alam nila kung ano yung mali nilang hindi ko nagustuhan.”
If Megan’s acting has improved, some folks they cannot say the same for her boyfriend who just renewed his contract with the Kapuso network. As one writer told us: “Sabihin mo nga kay Megan, turuan niya si Mikael Daez na umarte, o pakunin ng workshop. Kasi ang ganda ng role niya sa ‘Legally Blind’, but parang pamasko ang acting niya, Christmas ham. Parehong ang gagaling nina Janine Gutierrez, Marc Abaya, Lauren Young at pati si Terry Malvar na puro natural lang at relaxed, pero pagdating sa kanya, uma-acting talaga siya.”
Of course, we didn’t have the heart to tell that to Megan. Instead, we tell her that their photos of their travels in their social media account seem to indicate like they’re ready for the next step: settling down. “Naku, hindi pa. As of now, basta we’re just enjoying ourselves. Chill lang. Pareho kaming marami pang plans sa buhay, sa aming careers.”
Megan is all set to leave for the U.S. in July to try her luck in Hollywood where she already got an agent. “Pero nakasalalay pa rin yan sa work ko sa GMA-7. If they’d give me a new project, then priority ko pa rin sila. But so far, wala pa silang nababanggit sa’kin so I will try my luck naman sa States dahil sayang ang panahon, di ba? If I don’t try now, kailan pa? I’m not getting any younger.”
