The term “constellation” is defined by the Cambridge English Dictionary as “a group of famous or admired people all together in one place.” This modern definition perfectly applies to the talented individuals who form part of FLP Artist Management, led by director Rodel Mercado.
Under Mercado’s guidance, these young artists are professional, versatile, and constantly learning and training both on and off the stage, participating in plays and events.
The FLP femmes consist of the lovely LA Danque, the charming Dyn Altiche, and the protean Anna Escobia. The FLP fellows include the matinee idol Caleb Alvarez, the moreno heartthrob Asean Gabat, and the gifted Rey Correjado.
Rey Correjado, with his remarkable talent, believes that honesty and vulnerability are essential for an actor to breathe life and truth into the roles they portray. He considers each role a challenge and emphasizes the importance of understanding the character to make them as real as possible.
Dyn Altiche, with her charm, declares that her unique beauty lies in her non-traditional appearance, considering her flaws as assets.
LA Danque shares that theater not only develops self-confidence but also provides exhilarating and nerve-wracking experiences on stage. Acting becomes a means of expressing and embracing her heart, rather than merely work.
Anna Escobia describes herself as an actress who is still growing and finds each role thrilling as she delves deep into the thoughts and emotions of characters different from her. Her most challenging role to date is portraying a rape victim named Carla with HIV, requiring a slow and authentic process to bring her to life.
For Asean Gabat, acting is a passion he loves in its entirety, including rehearsals, mistakes, and the thrill of performing on stage. Being part of FLP keeps him on his toes, surrounded by talented colleagues who are all committed to their craft.
Caleb Alvarez, the matinee idol, looks up to Christopher de Leon, Dennis Trillo, and Alden Richards as his acting idols in drama. Taking on dramatic roles gives him an adrenaline rush, as he aims to give voice, emotions, and truth to his characters, leaving a profound impact on others.
Mercado’s constellation of FLP talents, with their passion, professionalism, and dedication, are fully prepared for their close-ups.
