Nagsimula sa pagganap niya ng ‘Darna’: NANETTE, inaming naging very conscious sa mga gagawin dahil sa pagiging role model

IBANG klase talaga si Tito Boy Abunda.

Sino kasi ang mag-aakalang matapos ang maraming taon ng pananahimik at pagtalikod sa showbiz ay magagawa ni Tito Boy na mai-guest sa show niya ang nag-iisang Nanette Medved!

Aminin, idolo ng marami si Nanette, lalo na ng mga kabadingan lalo pa noong gampanan niya sa isang pelikula ng Viva Films noong 1991 ang iconic role niya bilang si… Darna!!!

Napag-usapan nga nina Tito Boy at Nanette sa ‘Fast Talk With Boy Abunda’ ang tungkol dito, kung paanong hindi lamang bilang si Darna kundi bilang si Nanette ay nakapagbigay inspirasyon siya sa marami.

“I just realized at some point that, you know, Filipino fans are amazing. They look up to the artist and really try to, as a role model.

“I didn’t realize I was a role model until much later in my career. And when I found out that I was a role model, that’s when everything changed and I said ‘Wait, I need to be much more careful about the roles I choose, I need to be much more careful about what I say in public, what I wear.’

“I became very conscious of the example I was giving to the public,” pahayag ni Nanette na ngayon ay Mrs. Po na bilang asawa siya ng milyonaryong negosyanteng si Chris Po.

Pagpapatuloy pa ni Nanette.

“I remember I was on a float, I think it was going down Roxas Boulevard and I was on a float, and I was looking down and you had mga lola, you had mga apo.

“They were all there and they were looking up, and they couldn’t I think separate me from the character. And therefore I had to very conscious of how I behave, not only to protect the Darna image but also to protect what they thought was how do you behave in the world.

“I wanted to be careful that I was modelling the behavior that I want to see in the world, rather than talk about things that were very frivolous,” na ayon pa kay Nanette ay bitbit niya hanggang sa ngayon.

“Even to this day, I’m very careful about the messaging I put out in the world.”

Sa tanong ng marami kung magbabalik-showbiz si Nanette? Sana.

TINANONG namin ang The Soulful Balladeer na si Dindo Fernandez kung ano ang maituturing niyang pinakamalaking hamon sa kanya sa music industry.

“Greatest challenge po is to identify somebody na talagang mag-ga-guide sa iyo, yung guiding star, so iyon yung pinaka challenge talaga sa industry.

“But once you have found that guiding star of yours, I think okay na yun, you just have to do your best and everything will follow,” pahayag ni Dindo.

Bukod sa kanyang talento ano yung naging inspirasyon ni Dindo para pasukin ang mundo ng musika?

“Basically, na-i-inspire ako ‘pag may mga gusto akong tulungan, or baguhin or… like yung song ko na Makinig Ka, sabi ko I need to release this song, because I know na makakatulong ‘to sa bayan natin para ma-inspire sila.

“The same way may mga experiences kasi ako na alam kong may matututunan yung mga kapwa natin Pilipino, so iyon po yung nag-i-inspire sa akin para pumasok sa mundo ng musika.”

Naniniwala ba si Dindo na dahil sa social media at online platforms ay mas madali nang magpasikat ng kanta ngayon kaysa noon?

“I think so, yeah, totoo naman!

“Parang ngayon medyo fair yung game ngayon e, parang hindi natin kailangan masyadong too much promotion, basta maganda yung song mo at totoo ka dun sa ginagawa mo, I think makikinig yung tao sa iyo.”

Samantala, pahinga muna si Dindo sa regular gig niya tuwing sabado sa EF Café & Restaurant sa National Road, Madonna Subd. sa Alanginan sa Batangas City dahil ngayong 8 pm (October 28), ay may major concert si Dindo sa Teatrino sa Promenade sa Greenhills.

Ang Dindo Fernandez… Live At Teatrino With Musica Chiesa ay sa direksyon ng award-winning light and stage director na si Joey Nombres with Michael Bulaong as musical director.
