With a showbiz career spanning over 45 years, Carmi Martin said she has been blessed she is to be able to pursue her craft up to this day after starting out as a co-host on the now defunct variety show Student Canteen in 1976.

The 57-year-old actress is currently part of the new digital series GVBOYS: Pangmalakasang Good Vibes on the new Puregold channel online. The series, which is director Don Cuaresma’s homage to the ‘90s sitcom Palibhasa Lalake, brings Carmi back to her comedy roots.

“Ako dito si Aling Perly. Ako yung landlord nila na half-Korean, half-Pinay. Kumbaga doon sa Palibhasa Lalake ako si Gloria Romero,” she said.

During Puregold’s GVBOYS: Pangmalakasang Good Vibes media con, Carmi revealed what has kept her looking ageless all these years.

“Umpisa niyan dapat yung peace of mind is very important talaga and yun nakukuha ko dahil sa aking personal relationship with the Lord. Ako ang taga dasal sa aming set. And siyempre yung mga sacrifices ko eh talagang yung kanin eh talagang dalawang kutsarang quinoa na lang ang kakainin ko and as much as possible hindi na ako nag-si-sweets. Pero kapag nagpadala naman si Nikko (Natividad) ng donut hindi ko mahindian. Kahit hindi ko dapat kainin kakainin ko dahil bigay niya. So yung mga simple treats minsan gagawin ko pero like I exercise everyday sa bahay.

“Alam ko na medyo mahirap for my age but I really just love aging gracefully at alam ko na gustong gusto ko rin na sa pagtatrabaho ko eh hindi naman ako mukhang losyang na losyang. Yung talagang paglalabanan ko as much as I can na maiba pa rin,” she shared.

In the digital series which also stars Jerome Ponce, Nikko Natividad, and Dave Bornea as the tenants at her boarding house, Carmi shared how things have changed through the years compared to her days of having a sexpot image in ‘80s sitcoms like Chicks to Chicks and Chika Chika Chicks.

“Ang saya saya kasi at least wala na silang pagnanasa sa atin. I’m just really happy to be part of it. I really love my role. I really embraced it. Gumagawa ako ng mga notes. Tinatanong ko kay Siri kung papaano sabihin in Korean yung mga words na gusto ko i-express dun sa script because I’m a Korean fanatic. Gustong gusto ko lang talaga yung role na nabigay sa akin,” she says.

The eight-episode digital series GVBOYS: Pangmalakasang Good Vibes is now available for streaming on Puregold Channel’s Facebook and YouTube pages.
