The exceptional stars of “What Lies Beneath” carry in loads of intriguing teasers, artistic reflections, and insightful responses to the engrossing questions and creative challenges in Kapamilya Chat.
Mary Joy Apostol, one of the certified scene-stealers and socially relevant characters of the thrilling teleserye, excitedly charms Kapamilyas with her sweet personality in the “Truth Be Told” challenge, in which she is tasked to respond honestly to any questions about her life's journey.
Starting off with classic humor, Majoy defines “30 minutes away” as really an hour away from home. The actress admits to being late at times—but if she just woke up quite close to call time, she refuses to act like she’s out the door.
When asked about the last time she felt envious, Majoy proves her humble side, saying she can’t even remember and that she’s more focused on being content with what she has. She is aware, however, that as a child she would occasionally feel jealous over material things, a typical youthful emotion she has since outgrown.
Gradually learning to prioritize her fitness, Majoy made a random purchase of a bicycle, saying that she’s planning on getting more exercise as she goes through the unavoidable physical changes in adulthood. In terms of financial decisions like these, the Kapamilya actress reveals that she’s actually a frugal person when it comes to herself but would spend more when it comes to her family, food, or things that she really can’t fathom not having.
Another query about her younger years—whether she had a friend her parents trusted enough to accompany her to hangouts—Majoy barely recognizes the supposed relatable experience for many, as she wouldn’t go out frequently during her college days, with the most recent outing being a wedding she had to attend.
Touching on an embarrassing moment she now laughs about, Majoy recalls an instance during the filming of her breakthrough film “Birdshot” in 2016, when she dozed off on a folding chair, adorably waking up and clapping upon hearing the director’s cut.
Speaking of “Birdshot,” she holds the project dear, as it was where she began gaining recognition and accolades—a true stepping stone and one she’s proud to talk about indefinitely.
Ending on a hopeful tone, Majoy breaks down her dream role and castmates, specifically wanting to be involved with action or psychological thrillers, mentioning that she would love to co-star with renowned leading ladies Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, Jodi Sta. Maria, and other Filipina icons.
