    Philippine folklore anime series ‘Trese’ premieres on Netflix

    ‘Trese,’ a Netflix original series, finally premieres on the streaming service. Needless to say, the long and excruciating wait is over!

    ‘Trese’ comes in two versions. In these versions, two wonderful and beautiful actresses take their respective roles as the voices behind the lead character, detective Alexandra Trese.

    Shay Mitchell is a Canadian actress who became known through her role as Emily Fields in the Pretty Little Liars series. She has Filipino blood running through her veins, as her mother is Filipina from Pampanga province. Mitchell voiced over the English. 

    Who will voice over Alexandra Trese in Filipino? Well, it’s actress Liza Soberano, of course!

    From her interview with CNN Philippines, Soberano reveals that the most challenging obstacle was voice acting. 

    “Voice acting is so hard! That’s why I have such huge respect for voice actors now.”

    How did Liza Soberano bring life to the character of the anime series? She honestly confessed that she made sure to speak solely ‘Tagalog‘ even at home to make sure her language was on point as she dubs the Filipino version of Trese.

    “I did my research on how voice acting works, warm-up my vocal cords, how to make my register lower, and I also asked for workshops from the producers,” she added.

    How will Soberano describe the Netflix original series in three words?

    “It’s action-packed, amazing, and pusong Pinoy.”

    Soberano sees the anime series as a stepping stone for Filipino entertainment on a bigger, global scale.

    The Philippines now has a new sports hero, and she is the 19-year-old Yuka Saso, the first Filipino golfer to win the U.S. Women’s Open championship.

    On June 07, 2021, CNN’s Sportsdesk interviews Filipino golfer Yuka Saso and shares her journey as she wins the U.S. Women’s Open Championship.

    In the interview, she was asked what was going through her mind during the match. 

    “Unang-una po naisip ko po ang pamilya ko. Laking pasasalamat ko po sa kanila.”

    “I’m really, really grateful. To all the fans in the Philippines, maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. Binigyan niyo po ako ng lakas.”

    When asked what her strategy was, Saso humbly shared,

    “Hindi ko masyadong iniisip kung sino ang mananalo o matatalo. I just focused on myself and my golf.”

    Before the championship, the pressures of the play-offs were complex. It was too intense that Saso admits she experienced a stomach ache after participating in the 18 holes.

    Although it was a nerve-racking experience for her, she was able to stay calm thanks to her caddy. 

    Have the realities that she made history sank in?

    “Sobrang saya ko po sa history na nagawa ko. (But) I think there’s still a long way to go for me. So, I’ll just keep on working.”

    Saso made history as the first ever Filipino and among the youngest to win the major championship.

    Congratulations, Yuka Saso!
