RICHARD QUAN PLAYS A MAN WITH A DOWN SYNDROME IN HIS NEW FILM "SPIDER'S MAN"...

RICHARD: AS HANDSOME AS IT GETS

A TRUE ACTOR ALWAYS GETS THE RIGHT ROLES. It's because a true actor has total dedication, added-up with his igniting passion for his craft and a continuing search to keep on rediscovering his self.

That's basically what actor Richard Quan does. In any given role, he digs deeper into it and studies it further, and alongside with it, he breaks-away from the routines and circles of life-, engaging himself through journeys via his own motorbike and sometimes, a bicycle.

"It relaxes me", Ricahrd said in an intimate coffee-interview. "Motor-biking alone gives me space, it comforts me and recharges both my mind and spirit. And I guess, the more I do it, the more I become closer to myself. rediscovering who I really am. Thus, helping me a lot to be more effective in my acting craft."

And every after a journey from his bike, a movie role comes upon his lap. The most recent is his role in an international film entitled SPIDER'S MAN.

RUBEN MA. SORIQUEZ; richard quan's favorite director

"I would like to thank my director here- Ruben Ma. Soriquez for entrusting to me a very challenging role", Richard said at first. "In this new film of we're finishing now entitled Spider's Man, I play a very interesting character. It's a mentally-challenged kind of character. I play a man with a down syndrome. Somewhat like a schizoprenia.

"You see, Robert, I got so inspired portraying that character", Richard added on saying. "I heard, that character was loosely inspired from a true character that director Ruben has known. The more I got so passionate portraying it. I had to deliver the expectations of director Ruben. And I'm glad I did it.

"I can't reveal yet what will happen to me in the movie", Richard concluded saying about his new film role. "That will ruin the suspense. But all I can say is, the film is going to be shown internationally. Director Ruben is now on the stages of marketing it."

The film's gonna be shown abroad first before it's going to be screened locally. That's why the shooting ambience on the set while they were shooting the film was at par with European standards, according to Richard.

"The atmosphere on the set is sobrang composed", Richard continued saying. "It's very European in style. That's how director Ruben does it. He will give you so much space to get into your character. He won't pressure you at all. That's what I love most about it.

"Director Ruben also gives time to let his actors ask a few questions regarding a scene", he  added. "For artists and actors like me, that's what we really need. It enhances our passion for the Arts whenever the atmosphere is very European in approach."

This is Richard's second film under Ruben Ma. Soriquez who's basically an Italian filmmaker. His first with him was Sinners & Saints wherein he played a Catholic Priest.

"Director Ruben is one of the best directors I've ever worked with", Richard said in finality. "He is an actor's director. He is very cool and calm when he works. And he gives you a breathing space."

Very well said, Richard.

isa pang male candidate sa FACE OF THE YEAR 2018: JOUNARD VALERIO, SI MR. ROMANTIKO!

JOUNARD: GINOONG ROMANTIKO

JOUNARD: CANDIDATE NUMBER 16

JOUNARD: BOYISH BARE BODY!

Tipong boy-next-door ang dating niya. Pero nagulat kami sa mga naging kasagitan niya sa aming Question & Answer interview. Aba naman, kay galing at kay lalim sumagot nitong si Jounard Valerio, ang male candidate number 16 sa FACE OF THE YEAR 2018!

Hhhhhmmmmm.... Basahin ninyo, basta ang mga sagot niya sa ibaba. Talagang Mr. Romantiko, di po ba?

QUESTION #1: Do you still believe that men must still be above women and provide for his family?

JOUNARD: "Sa panahon ngayon may mga kakayanan ang mga lalake na nagagawa na din ng babae at sa pantay na pananaw ng isang mag asawa sa kanilang pamilya ay walang lumalamang sa kakayanan ng bawat isa dahil pareho nilang binubuhay ang kanilang pamilya. In this new generation, women can do what men can do. In my fair point of view, both men and women have equal capabilities in providing the needs of their family."


QUESTION #2: What does a girl say every time you kiss her?

JOUNARD: "Mahal kita salamat" sa tuwing hinahalikan ko sa noo ang dating girlfriend ko sa noo ito ang naririnig kong sinasambit ng dahil para sa mga babae ang pag-halik sa kanila ng lalake sa noo ay tanda ito ng pagmamahal at respeto para sa kanila. Hindi lang sa pag halik sa noo ang pag papakita ng respeto kundi paggawa din ng simpleng effort para mapasaya ko ito at maipakita at maiparamdam ko yung tunay kong nararamdaman". "Thank you, i love you" are the words i hear from my ex-girlfriend everytime I kiss her on her forehead. Kissing a girl in the forehead is a sign of love and respect to them. It's not only kissing them in the forehead that shows respect to them, by showing that you are making effort to make them happy is also a way to express how i really feel for them".


QUESTION #3: Do you love to hug people you love?

JOUNARD: "Hugging the person you love is like living in paradise, you feel comfortable and safe. Everyone loved to be in that place all the time".

QUESTION #4: What is your greatest journey in life?

JOUNARD: "My greatest journey ay yung nakuha ko ang aking diploma,dahil ang oras , tyaga at paghihirap ng aking mga magulang ay nasuklian ko ng pagatatapos ko sa pag-aaral beacause my greatest journey is to gave my happinness, there happiness My greatest journey is when I received my diploma, because the time, patience and hardship of my parents had paid off. It is my way of returning my gratitude for everything they have done for me".

QUESTION #5: If you win the FACE OF THE YEAR 2018 in the male category, to whom will you offer the prize?

JOUNARD: "Kung ako yung pinakaswerteng lalake ngayong araw, ibabahagi ko ang iba na aking napanalunan sa mga nangangailangan o sa mga charity dahil ang pag sali sa beauty contest ay isang karangalan at responsibilidad at ito ay responsibilidad kong maglingkod at tumulong at willing ako tumulong sa mga pangangailangan nila, dahil para sakin ang pagtulong sa kapwa ay isang bahagi ng pagkapanalo na mapalitan ng mga matatamis na ngiti ang iyong ibinigay na tulong. I will do that act my prize will be paid of, the happiness and fulfilment. If I will be fortunate to win this pageant, I will share my prize to those who are needy or to charity. Joining pageants is an opportunity and priveledge and it is my respobsibilty to help those who are needy, because seeing the smile on their face is a great happiness and fulfilment."
