RICHARD YAP will be seen in his first acting job on GMA-7 since he moved from ABS-CBN this Sunday in “Dear Uge” at 2:45 PM.
He will be seen in the special story, “Jing, ang Bato!”, which has two episodes to be shown on two Sundays, January 10 and 17.
“I enjoyed doing my first show as a Kapuso with Eugene Domingo,” he says. “We’re doing a comedy-drama at napakagaling niya. She helps bring out the best in you as her co-star.”
What’s his role in “Jing, ang Bato!”?
“I play a widower who lost my wife in a car accident two years ago at hindi maka-move on. I blame myself for her death, kasi I prioritized a businee meeting with a client instead of accompanying her.
"Dahil sa nangyari, naging masungit ako, malayo sa tao. I became cold and distant even to my own son, a rapper and band member played by Paul Salas. Nagkaroon din ako ng sleeping disorder. I became a sleepwalker.”
But his life will change upon the arrival of Uge as Jing, who becomes one of his tenants in his place.
“Parang Gypsy si Uge rito. She sells healing and energy stones at buhay na buhay ang personality niya, very perky, very positive, kaya perfect foil sa pagiging grouchy and grumpy ko.”
Uge will ultimately have a good influence on him and even help him mend his relationship with his son. She also helps him solve his sleepwalking problems. After “Dear Uge”, Richard will also be a special guest in “The Boobay and Tekla Show” later in the evening.
“Nakakatuwa dahil puro comedy ang ginagawa ko ngayon instead of the usual dramas that I did before,” he says. "But later, I hope to be doing dramas naman as a Kapuso."
