Kapamilya actress Julia Montes shared that she was fortunate enough to have a strong cast working with her for her comeback series, Saving Grace, that she didn’t have to prepare in terms of acting.

During the grand media conference for the upcoming series last November 22, the actress expressed what she wanted her viewers to take away from the series as well.

Saving Grace is the tenth adaptation of the hit 2010 Japanese series, Mother. The show is a collaboration between ABS-CBN Studios and Japan’s leading entertainment powerhouse, Nippon TV.

“Napakaswerte ko na hindi ko naman nagagawa ito kung wala yung bawat isa. So sa preparation part kung paano siya iarte, wala po humuhugot lang ako sa co-actors ko talaga,” she shared.

Julia added how special Saving Grace is for her as it was the last project she accepted prior to the passing of Dreamscape Entertainment head, Deo Endrinal, earlier this year.

“Emotionally, nag prepare kasi gaya nga ng sinasabi ko napakaespesyal ng project na to kumbaga sa kasabihan nga medyo close to home,” she added.

The Kapamilya star hoped that their series will serve as inspiration to everyone who’s going through abuse–– how they could find a voice of hope in the upcoming show.

“I’m just praying and hoping that this project will inspire and help yung mga children going through–– actually hindi lang mga children–– even yung mga wives na battered, anybody na may pinagdadaanan physically or emotionally through whoever,” she continued.

“Sana meron mag speak up, sana meron magkaroon ng strength kasi mahirap hanapin yung strength lalo na kung nabubugbog ka na ng salita, ng physical,” she said.

When asked what her favorite scene was, Julia admitted that she couldn’t choose any as every scene that they took was memorable.

“Lahat ng scenes, sobrang tatak, sobrang importante, at sobrang mahalaga. I can say siguro when you watch Saving Grace, there’s a part of you na naheheal. For me, playing the role Anna may na naheheal sa akin na akala ko wala na, akala ko ok na,” she said.
