Andrea Brillantes made social media abuzz after a teaser of her bathtub scene with Jake Cuenca was released as part of the trailer of ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.’ 

Speaking to ABS-CBN News during her Lucky Beauty second anniversary event, Andrea shared the difficulties she faced before doing her first intimate scene on television. 

“It was difficult, behind the scenes. It was difficult for me being Blythe, but Andrea Brillantes wala masyadong problema, it’s her job and it’s her work,” she said.

“Ang daming doubt, dapat ko bang gawin ito? Is now the time for this? Ang daming questions, ilang beses ako nagpa-counsel. Sabi ko, ‘Lord please guide me.’ Nagawa ko siya and thankful ako sa mga reactions ng mga tao.”

Admittedly, Brillantes was concerned how her fans would react to the trailer. “Mas nag-expect ako ng mga violent reactions mula sa mga tao, wala actually. Ang daming nakaintindi na it’s part of my work.” 

“It’s my job as an actress,” she said. 

“Kine-claim ko kasi ang pagiging versatile actress ko. I can’t claim my versatility if I cannot do roles like this.” 

“It was a bit difficult for me personally, but bilang Andrea Brillantes, laban! Time to explore, time to accept new roles, challenging roles!” 

In the scene, Brillantes was wearing red lingerie and a mask with Cuenca lying in the bathtub. She said the actor was such a gentleman.

“Ako ay nagpapasalamat kay Kuya Jake. Nagpapasalamat ako sa buong staff, kay Direk. Minemake-sure nila na nasa safe space ako, na safe space ito and I don’t feel violated or exploited. I don’t feel offended in any way. Lagi akong sinasabihan ni Kuya Jake na ‘Let me know if hindi ka comfy’.”

She added, “Medyo awkward ng konti lang kasi ‘kuya-kuya’ ko siya. Nung dati kong naka-work ko siya, I was just 14 lang noon. Tinawanan na lang namin pero kasi parehas kaming aktor.”

Aside from "Batang Quiapo," Brillantes has been juggling her time with acting and being the CEO of her makeup brand Lucky Beauty. She said, it’s tough managing her time and attention to these two things. 

“Bawal mag-phone sa set ng ‘Batang Quiapo’, I cannot not use my phone ‘cause nandun lahat ng trabaho ko, nandun 'yung Lucky Beauty. Ang hirap lang pag may pinagsasabay. Honestly, hindi talaga ako nahihirapan sa trabaho ko, kasi gusto ko talaga yung ginagawa ko,” she said.

Learning the in’s and out’s of business has been a fascinating time for Brillantes. “It’s fun 'coz I really love makeup and I love what I do. And I love the people in my work, I love my partners. Pero it’s also hard, ‘coz I’m not just a CEO, I’m also an actress, I’m also the breadwinner, it’s a lot of things. Pero masaya ako.”
