Cebuana singer and songwriter Karencitta then appeared in the trailer who plays as the Cebuana best friend of Jen.
She encouraged Jen to cope with her stage fright.
In a message sent to CDN Digital, Karencitta said that she could relate to her character.
“Whenever I see good potential in someone, I invest everything in my will until masuccessful na ang person. Kadaghan nana nahitabo sa akong real personal life. Similar sa movie (Indak),” she said.
(Whenever I see good potential in someone, I invest everything in my will until that person will become successful. It happens a lot in my life. Just like the movie “Indak”.)
Karencitta is also proud to be part of the film since the characters talk in Cebuano.
“From the start of the buzz of my career, my goal was always to put Cebu on the map. Hence, “Cebuana” was released,” she added.
For her, “Indak” is all about finding your strengths and building a strong support system around you.
“Indak” is under the helm of Paul Basinillo which will hit Philippine cinemas in August 2019. /dbs
