Nakibalita kami kay Sofia sa mga kaganapan sa bonggang red carpet event ng Netflix sa Rome.

Kasama nga ni Sofia ang content creators na sina Mimiyuuh at LA Aguinaldo pati na ang entertainment reporter na si MJ Marfori. Sila ang nag-represent ng Pilipinas sa naturang event.

“I feel honored, grateful, and proud to represent the Philippines at the global red carpet premiere of Emily in Paris Season 4 Part 2.

“It’s truly a surreal feeling to be walking the same red carpet as the cast of one of my favorite shows!

“Meeting Lily Collins and the rest of the cast up close was definitely a highlight for me. They were all so lovely and down-to-earth, which made the experience even more unforgettable,” sey ni Sofia.

Bukod sa bida ng ‘Emily in Paris’ na si Lily Collins, dumating din sina Ashley Park, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Camille Razat, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, and William Abadie.

At dahil first time ng 18-year old Kapuso star sa Rome, hindi niya pinalampas ang mapasyalan ang lahat ng mga iconic tourist spots ng tinaguriang the “Eternal City”.

Kuwento ni Sofia: “Being in Rome has been nothing short of magical. I had the chance to visit iconic places like the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and even Vatican City.

“One of the hidden gems I fell in love with was the Fontana dell’Acqua Paola—such a beautiful and peaceful spot.

“I’ve never been to Europe before, so this trip has been a dream come true. Plus, staying at the Westin Excelsior Rome, a five-star hotel provided by Netflix, was the cherry on top!”

Sa pagbalik ni Sofia sa Pilipinas, diretso raw siya sa taping ng pagbibidahan niyang teleserye sa GMA na ‘Prinsesa Ng City Jail’.

No regrets daw nung talikuran nilang mag-asawa ang showbiz. Maganda raw ang mga opportunities at benefits sa Canada lalo na kapag may pamilya ka na.

Sey ni Don: “I’m assigned sa Community Safety Unit. It is a dangerous job. Even before meeting Aurora, this was my dream job.

Bonding daw nilang pamilya ay ang gardening. Naha-harvest sila ay fresh organic vegetables na pesticide-free.
