Ria Atayde in Ipaglaban Mo Disgrasyada

Tuesday, February 27, 2018

We all know celebrities are influential and powerful individuals, who, more often than not — are exceptionally good looking. These are the people who might have directed the way we think, act, and even the way we look. And of course, most of the celebrities we look up to nowadays are the sons and daughters of our favorite actors and actress who took over the showbiz industries in the past and even in the present.

One of them is no less than RIA ATAYDE, daughter of Ms. Sylvia Sanchez who never fails to wow the viewers with her on screen projects and movies since day one. We all know how Ms. Sylvia Sanchez weaved her career from scratch and even until now she still shines like a gem because she still gives her 101% when she acts in different roles.  

Of course, her son and daughter Arjo and Ria have their whole lives ahead of them, though they are showing signs of being even more active than their stunning parents, it all starts now as they continue to bombard the viewers with one of a kind performances.

Ria started way back in 2015 when she bagged the lead role in Ningning as Teacher Hope Cruz. Then fast forward to 2017 when she got the role of Dra. Gia Lana in My Dear Heart. Ria shared that before she wanted to become a broadcaster but as years pass by, she wanted to act and she wanted it more than ever.

Ria started the year with a remarkable performance in Ipaglaban Mo aired last February 23. She plays the role of Gladys Laurena, a woman fighting for her rights after her employer dismissed her from work just because she got pregnant out of wedlock.

Since she grew up in a dysfunctional family, Gladys sees to it that every day she strives hard to have a better life. With hard work, she managed to excel in the school she is working in and even got recognized as ‘Employee of the Year.’ On top of that, she also found love through her boyfriend Ben (Enzo Pineda).

However, everything took a sudden turn when Ben left her after finding out about her pregnancy. Her struggles did not end there because her employer suddenly fired her after learning about her situation.

Since she was left hanging with only her parents and her friend to cling on, she went to consult a lawyer so that she can ask for a legal advice, her lawyer helped her file charges to fight for her rights. At the end of this episode, Gladys got the justice that she was longing for. 

I love how Ria played her role as natural as possible. We can all learn a lot from her role as Gladys since we should also know our rights in all aspects especially if we are very dedicated with our jobs and we have a family who's counting on us. 

Ria also shared that there was this scene with Enzo Pineda that she was really challenged and she also feels grateful that she was able to work with Ms. Irma Adlawan and Mr. Julio Diaz because working with great actors inspires her more to give her best and by watching her do her scenes side by side with them, she actually nails it. I believe that she can definitely play different roles and that she is also very versatile, she can play a rich role, a kontrabida role and even a bida role. 

Ria also shared that it was her bucket list to work with Direk FM Reyes, she said that she's heard so many good stories on working with him which is why she really dreams on working with him plus Direk FM is also Arjo's first director which is why he shared some experiences as well on working with him.

On my one on one interview with Ria, I got to ask her which genre she would love to do in the future and she said that she wishes to do an action film or teleserye in the future. Ria also shared that she wishes to work with her all time favorite actress Ms. Judy Anne Santos.

All in all, Ria's performance in this week's episode of Ipaglaban Mo only proves how talented she is. Her eagerness to learn more and to experience more in terms of acting is showing plus just by watching her, you'll know that she is without a doubt serious and passionate in her chosen craft. I wish she'll be given a teleserye soon and hopefully, she'll also do a movie in the near future, hopefully a project with her brother Arjo and Mom Sylvia.
