II. Q & A
Why did you enter show business?
When Tita Anabelle asked me if I wanted to be in this business, I immediately said yes because it’s the perfect timing and the thought of acting and dancing in front of a lot of people kept me exited. And ok yung pay. Hehe. But as time goes by, I learned to really love what I’m doing. I know that there’s a purpose why I’m here. I’m passionate about this and I want to keep on learning.
What do you consider as the turning point in your career?
Playing the role of Vanessa in Kung Mamahalin Mo Lang Ako. It’s my first soap na isa ko sa mga bida.
If you weren’t in showbiz, what kind of career would you have?
I’d probably continue my modeling career. I might be a pre-school teacher or a chef.
What is your biggest frustration/regret?
I wish I can sing really well.
What do most people don’t know about you?
That I’m a really shy person. I’m usually quiet and a loner. I sometimes go to malls by myself. And I still commute. I don’t have a car yet so I take a cab or MRT to tapings and stuff.
What is your most unforgettable moment/experience?
My first TV stint as one of the tagubas in Mulawin. I have worked with the entire cast and staff. It was really amazing.
What are you most proud of?
The values that my parents taught me and my principles in life. My family, loved ones and my life.
What do you value most?
Family and loved ones.
What do you want to achieve?
In my career, to have an action fantaserye/movie, like The Tomb Raider of Angelina Jolie, to improve my acting abilities and to win an acting award. To have my own car and house this year. To have peace of mind and more success in life.
What is your advice to aspiring artists? If you’re really passionate about this, then do it. It’s not just about getting rich and famous. It entails hard work, perseverance and determination. Hone your talents plus have a nice personality and good attitude too. Be sure to know the ins and outs of the business. Maraming chismis and intriga, dapat malakas ang loob…..and just stay grounded….

Ehra on her busty pair:
