Young actress Erich Gonzales is riding high on the ratings success of her latest TV series, "Katorse."
Last, Thursday, September 14, "Kotorse" got 31.1% percent and ranked 4th in he overall primetime programs.
Gonzales said she is happy that people are tuning in to the show, but that her primary concern is not ratings - but doing justice to her role as Nene, a provinciana who gets pregnant in her early teens.
"Hindi ko iniisip ang ratings-ratings. Basta more on 'Ano ako?' Na mabigyan ng justice ang role ni Nene, na katorse (14), na mapanindigan talaga 'yong role niya. Si Nene na na-inlove ganyan, tapos palaban," Gonzales told abs-cbnNEWS.com.
"Ako, sobrang pagpapasalamat lang talaga sa lahat. Kasi never ko pong in-expect na darating ang ganito. Sobrang thankful talaga," she added.
As Nene in the series, Gonzales said she is happy to be able to give valuable lessons to teenagers about love issues. The actress said she sympathizes with Nene's character, especially because they have similar attitudes towards getting through life's struggles.
"Opo may similitary po kasi si Nene never siyang sumuko sa hamon ng buhay. Nalalampasan niya ang pinaglalaban niya. Kung ano ang sa tingin niya ang tama. Napaka-strong niya. At 'yon nga, kahit ano pa ang dumating na bagyo, knowing na nandiyan ang family niya at mga taong sumusuporta sa kanya, ay okay lang talaga," Gonzales said.
The actress had to take rigid acting workshops with the help of seasoned actress Gina Alajar prior to taking on the role of Nene.
"Nakatulong talaga ang sensuality workshop (with Ms. Gina Alajar) namin para mawala ang inhibitions ko. Kung anuman ang ano ko sa sarili ko, kaya noong nag-start kami ng taping. Ready po talaga kami," she said.
Gonzales, a member of Star Magic, considers "Katorse" as her biggest acting break. The series is a TV remake of Joey Giosiengfiao's 1980's film of the same title, that launched then newbie actress Dina Bonnevie's career.
