MANILA, Philippines – Getting acting awards isn’t really the end goal
for actor Paulo Avelino. What's more important, he said, is to deliver
compelling performances that viewers would always remember.
This is what Avelino told Push.com.ph when asked if he thinks his
performance in the Metro Manila Film Festival entry “Shake, Rattle &
Roll XIV” is worthy of an award.
“For me I’m not really vying for awards, but I just want to do great
films, magagandang teleserye, magagandang pelikula. Para sa akin masaya
na ako pag kampante ako sa sarili ko,” said Avelino, who won a Best
Actor trophy from the Gawad Urian for his performance in the indie movie
"Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa."
Avelino, who gets reunited with his friends from the Kapuso network
in the movie, said he is very proud at what they have done in the horror
film as a whole.
“I don’t want to be stuck in one character. Kumbaga may bagong oportunidad na mag-portray ng bagong karakter, gagawin ko,” he explained.
After this movie project, Avelino hinted that he wants to do another project where he will portray the role of a serial killer.
