  “Do you believe her? Is she just playing it? Is there really a miracle? In the end, there’s a tragedy that happened. Then she will admit, ’Walang himala!’ The trajectory of the Elsa character is very hard, but I am in very, very good hands. My director is Ed Lacson. Hindi ka niya pinababayaan. This is his very first musical directorial job,” Santos explained.

  “I started as a singer not knowing that I can act later on. Until now, I never really thought or imagined about the roles that I want to play in the future. I don’t plan,” Santos admitting that Elsa is her most challenging role today.
