Rhian Ramos continues to evolve into a woman of beauty and substance
SUCH a joy to know that actress Rhian Ramos always makes it a point to choose projects that will send important reminders to women.
“I am happy that in my own small way, I am able to give life to strong female characters that have taken up space and allowed their voices to be heard, “Ramos told us recently at the special screening of Miss Probinsyana, a movie she headlines.
The film, directed by Jenny Pearl (JP) Ninalga, from a screenplay she cowrote with her husband Eligio Ninalga Jr., tells the inspiring story of a woman who rose above all the challenges when she set up her own BPO company outside the big city.
The narrative is based on the inspiring success story of Marjorie Aviso, owner of Telework PH, a visionary who continues to open doors and work opportunities for many, specifically women from the provinces who dream of working in a corporate set-up.
“I spent some time with Ms. Aviso, observing her, and listening to her stories. I also had to immerse myself in the world of BPO, how things are done, the way employees go through their work day. I also had to familiarize myself with terminologies that I had absolutely no clue about in order to give sincerity and truth to how I would portray my character, “Ramos volunteered, adding that she is fortunate to have the highly-touted and multi-awarded thespian Sid Lucero as her leading man.
Ramos enthused, “Sid is a rare kiºnd of actor. He is very giving and innately kind and warm, and he is such a joy to work with—light and passionate and funny all rolled into one. I don’t have to mention that he is high up there in terms of acting prowess. You have to always be ready and in the zone when acting with Sid kundi maiiwanan ka talaga. Such a brilliant actor!”
Ramos is glad that she finds time to work on projects like this movie in between television jobs. She got good reviews for her last series on the GMA primetime block, Royal Blood, and she looks forward to new assignments soon.
She was also in the news a few months back when her best buddy and beauty queen flat mate Michelle Dee competed overseas. “These days, more and more women discover how much they can achieve and I think it is important to know about these women and their stories that inspire. Whenever I hear about a woman achieving something great, I feel like I have also somehow achieved it, and I’m part of their milestones, too!”
On the love front, Ramos whispered to us that “all is good, and life is beautiful!” before letting out a big smile, refusing to delve deeper into her private romantic life.
Rhian Ramos’s hard work as an actor is slowly paying off. She is evolving into a woman of both beauty and substance. She has learned to take up space, assert herself, and speak on behalf of many others, specifically women in and out of the entertainment spectrum. She continues to celebrate womanhood. And most importantly, she is truly happy.
