His character Charlie Manansala in The Broken Marriage Vow may be despised because of tolerating his David Ilustre’s (Zanjoe Marudo) infidelity and having a hidden lust towards his best friend’s wife Jill (Jodi Sta. Maria), but viewers surely admired Ketchup Eusebio during his fun virtual interview on Hotspot.

The Broken Marriage Vow has been well-received by avid Kapamilya viewers, who have probably watched the original British drama “Doctor Foster” and the Korean adaptation “The World of the Married Couple,” which was broadcast on Kapamilya Channel in 2020. Thus, Ketchup has nothing but happiness and gratitude for the overwhelming support of the viewers.

“I’m just really happy and very grateful doon sa pagtangkilik at patuloy na pagsuporta ng mga Kapamilya natin dito sa aming pinaghirapan na The Broken Marriage Vow. Sana po ay abangan ninyo pa rin at marami pa pong mga kaabang-abang at kapana-panabik na mga pasabog ang mangyayari rito sa thread ng buhay ni Dra. Jill Ilustre,” he said.

He then talked about his character Charlie, which he revealed is way different from its international counterparts. Since they were bestowed the freedom to change a few elements of the narrative in order to make it apt to the Filipino culture, he was allowed to do his own interpretation of his role by making him playful yet a bit submissive and tender to his wife Carol (Bianca Manalo).

As host DJ Jhai Ho commended him for being a collaborative actor through the years, Ketchup revealed that it just organically grew in him through the years that he’s been in the local entertainment scene. His two-decade experience as an actor made him realized the importance of speaking his mind for the betterment of every project that he’s involved in. At the same time, he also understands those actors who cannot do it yet since he used to be on that similar situation, too.

“That’s why siguro, gano’n pa rin ‘yong ginagawa ko hanggang ngayon kasi I’m just very grateful na naco-consider ako sa mga projects. I’m so honored na until now, ang gaganda ng mga projects na napapasama ako. You always have to be on your best foot forward and always give more than 100% na kaya mo. And you always have to consider na maraming mga bago, mga mas bata, mga mas malaking fanbase, kumbaga mas mura ang budget, mas hungrier sa trabaho. But there’ll never be me,” he further explained.

The 36-year-old actor went on to enumerate the qualities of Charlie that he likes and dislikes, disclosing how he admires his being sweet and loving to his wife Carol, while deriding his being manipulative in order to conceal his misdeeds. He also cannot fathom why Charlie doesn’t want to have kids yet even though he’s already matured and capable enough to build a family.

When asked how he would describe The Broken Marriage Vow in one word, he uttered “world-class” as they’re able to showcase the culture of the Philippines through the costumes they wore and some scenes, as well as the commendable skills of the actors, staff, and crew.

DJ Jhai Ho then veered their fun conversation to the “Throwback Time Challenge,” wherein random old photos of Ketchup were shown and he had to share backstories or trivia about each. Those include behind-the-scene shots of his stint in the Kapamilya series Dream Dad, and blockbuster movies “Heneral Luna,” “Loving In Tandem,” and “Seven Sundays.”
