Enzo distances self from Aljur issue

Enzo Pineda

Young actor Enzo Pineda is mum on the issue of Kapuso colleague Aljur Abrenica who filed a Judicial Confirmation of Rescission of Contract complaint against GMA Network last week.

“No comment. People come and go sa showbiz (and it) depends on your decision. These things happen. Hindi ko na po problema ‘yon,” he said at the pocket presscon of GMA Artist Center for its talents who are part of the 10th Cinemalaya Festival.

Though he is “sad” about what’s going on, Enzo said that ultimately, it’s “none of my business” and that his lone concern is his own work.

His advice to Aljur: “Kung sakaling friend ko siya, I would tell him to don’t burn bridges. It’s a small industry, small world and you just have to be thankful to what is given to you…”

Staying loyal

As for himself, Enzo is staying put with GMA-7.

“I started out sa GMA (so) I want to do my best dito. As much as possible, I want to start and end my career here. ’Yung loyalty ko siyempre dito (sa GMA),” he said.

He thinks it’s all the same whatever network an actor is signed to.

“Parang parehas lang naman ang opportunity na ibinibigay sa ‘yo, so you just have to make the most out of it. Just do your best.”

Challenging role

In Cinemalaya entry “Sundalong Kanin,” Enzo plays a soldier which required him to learn Tagalog lines that are “medyo malalim” and to fully understand the character’s objectives.

“Sumali ako ng guerilla unit. I was able to spy because of my expertise, nagamit ko ang mga kapatid ko. Kailangan nilang tumulong kasi mga mahal nila mamamatay,” Enzo said of his role.

It may be a period film but the actor feels today’s kids can still relate to its story set post-war.

“It’s always good to watch something na part of your country’s history and has sense of nationalism. Ito ‘yung pinagdaanan ng mga lola at lolo natin so you have to appreciate what we have now kasi maraming namatay na tao para lang magkaroon tayo ng freedom.”

Discovery

Enzo realized many things in doing his first indie film.

“It is good to surround yourself with people na hindi mainstream (because you realize that you do things) for the art itself.

“Also, emotion is just a tool in acting. Hindi porke nakakaiyak ka na, malungkot ka na, nagagawa mo na ‘yung scene. You have to understand your character,” said Enzo starred in mainstream movies “Kontrabida Girl” and “The Basement” in the past.
