Krista Miller is once again busy doing films.
And she is happy about it.
She told us, “Matagal ko na rin kasi talagang gustong gumawa ng pelikula and I’m thankful na kahit paano, unti-unti, nabibigyan uli ako ng mga proyekto.”
Krista started her acting career several years back.
She quickly made a name for herself as a “daring” actress, one who is only too willing to do anything to give justice to a character.
Commendable as her efforts were, Krista would ultimately make headlines not for her work but for her involvement in various controversies.
It eventually peaked with her spending two long years in jail due to drug charges.
She admitted to feeling helpless while incarcerated.
“Pero I didn’t lose hope... Ang inisip ko talaga yung mga anak ko,” she shared. “Sila yung talagang pinanghawakan ko. Dahil sa kanila, naniwala ako na balang araw e makakabangon din ako at matatapos din ang pagsubok na yun sa buhay ko.”
It did come.
Describing her feeling after being released she said, “Para akong nakababa sa isang mahaba at nakakahilong rollercoaster ride.”
She was raring to jump back into acting but for the pandemic.
“So, ang ginawa ko, bumalik ako sa school, tinapos ko ang pag-aaral ko. After nun I started working agad,” she related. “Nag-call center ako, nag-tutor ako ng mga young kids online, nag-open din ako ng negosyo...”
Krista has since appeared in several films.
She is hoping to do more.
“I feel na hindi ko pa talaga na-reach ang full potential ko as actress and now I’m willing to put in the hard work, everything, para makabalik sa sitwasyon na maipapakita ko yung kakayanan ko.”
Is she still open to doing sexy films?
“Wala namang problema sa akin dahil doon naman ako nakilala, pero ang wish ko talaga ay mabigyan ako ng chance na maka move on and makapag-explore ng ibang film genres, like action.”
And what did she learn given all that she’s been through?
“Hope is eternal. Basta laban lang. Kapit lang sa Taas.”
