Rising television stars Mavy and Cassy Legaspi are all-set to advance in their respective showbiz careers as they renewed their contracts with GMA Artist Center last Monday, Aug.16.
Present during the virtual signing ceremony were GMA top executives Felipe S. Yalong, Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, Lilybeth G. Rasonable, Oliver B. Amoroso, Redgie A. Mango, Angel Javier Cruz, Gigi Santiago-Lara, Cheryl Ching-Sy, and Simoun Ferrer.
GMA Artist Center consultant Johnny Manahan, talent manager Vic del Rosario, and senior program managers Ali Marie Nokom-Dedicatoria, Mae Zambrano, Redgynn Alba, and Ruth Marinas were also present.
Coming from a prominent family in the industry, the Legaspi twins know that it has its pros and cons. Despite these, they continue to give their all in every project they get entrusted with and have picked up valuable lessons throughout the years as they carve their names in show business.
Speaking to Manila Standard Entertainment right after they renewed their contract they shared how being each other’s support system made their journey in showbiz “so much easier.”
“You’ll really have to learn through the ups and downs in the industry on your own. Even with all the tips, all the stories my parents told me, ako pa rin ‘yung gagawa ng stories and experiences ko. At the end of the day, it’s really you in this battlefield, ikaw ang gagawa ng actions mo and decisions, most especially when you’re on set, on cam or off cam, I learned to be even more independent and diligent sa craft ko,” he started.
“With Cassy, we’re having a great right. It’s a healthy competition. We’re helping one another. It helped that our parents created a healthy environment for us. They made sure that we will a good sibling relationship,” he added.
For Cassy, having a brother in showbiz made her a “third parent.”
“It depends on the situation. Sometimes I’m the third parent. For example, when Mavy needs motivation. We have become professionals in helping each other out. There’s no sibling rivalry because we are supporting each other,” the 20-year-old actress explained.
Cassy also shared how she grew in her Kapuso journey and what she’s learned as an actor.
“I learned to be more loving, caring, and giving to my co-actors, always checking up on them. I guess treating the workplace as my second home. Being a Kapuso for how many years, the people around you really grow on you, they instantly become family and you get comfortable with them and eventually, the values as a Kapuso, start to show within you,” she said.
Cassy won the hearts of the Filipino viewers as Nina in the top-rating GMA Telebabad series First Yaya. Now, it’s Mavy’s time to shine as he is part of the cast of the upcoming primetime series I Left My Heart in Sorsogon.
