Sunshine Dizon Chooses Career Over Love
By Phoebe Dorothy Estelle
We first knew Sunshine Dizon as the child actress, then the budding teen star in the 90s youth show, T.G.I.S (Thank God It’s Sabado). And among her contenporaries in that now defunct show, only Sunshine seem to be surviving with a thriving career in Philippine show business.
Sunshine is only 23 years old but her record is impressive beyond her age. For one, she has able to overcome tons of intrigues. The most unforgettable, perhaps, was the accusation that she was an adopted child, which she strongly denied.
Prior to her top rating TV shows such as “Encantadia,” and “Bakekang,” Sunshine was visible in mild hit dramas: “Habang Kapiling Ka,” “Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin” “Kahit Kailan” and “Anna Karenina.” These series made her a popular and promising actress. But Sunshine believed that her turning point was winning the best actress from Star Awards for TV.
“I think it started when I won the best actress award. The first one was for “Magpakailanman,” the one I did with Yul Servo. From that day on, I knew it’s gonna be different.”
Next, the 2nd Golden Screen Awards and Gawad America honored her as best actress for her effective portrayal of the flaming fairy-Pirena in Encantadia.
Sunshine disclosed that she’s not afraid of turning down an offer, especially if her gut feeling dictates it’s not for her. She meticulously analyzes if the project will help her career or not.
“But I’m always trying to challenge myself because I like doing different things. That’s why you see me playing both good and bad roles. I get bored kasi so I like to try everything.”
Beyond question, this “Bahay mo Ba ‘to” star is one of the few actors that can play heroine and an antagonist at the same time. Other series she appeared in were “Captain Barbell,” Now & Forever: Agos and her first ever solo soap was “Kung Mawawala Ka” where she was paired with Cogie Domingo and co-starred with Iza Calzado.
Incidentally, she reunites with Iza in the new soap, “Impostora,” where Sunshine plays the bad Vanessa and the good Sarah whose face initially belonged to Iza.
“I’m very inspired with this project noong in-offer sa akin ito. Sinabi talaga sa akin na I really have to prepare for it because iyong role nga kasi commercial model. I was thinking, kailangang magkapareho kami ng body structure ni Iza para maging impostora ako. ”
Unlike many who seek the magical help of cosmetic surgery, Sunshine preferred the organic way of getting in shape — diet and exercise — which she gladly shares with her co-stars.
In the crazy world of network battles in Philippine entertainment, Sunshine admitted that she’s mildly affected with ratings competition, especially if she perceived there is something doubtful.
“I’m not that really affected but it hurts sometimes when you know na may mga hokus pokus because we’re working very hard. Nakakalungkot isipin pero mayroon talagang may bagay na nawawalan kami ng puntos. I guess what really matters is how the people respond. That’s what I did with Bakekang, I played it by ear. Whatever they said, as long as people were talking about my show, I’m very happy. ”
The young actress is currently loveless. She contradicted the rumor that she and her Bakekang leading man Victor Neri was an item. Sunshine also disagreed to the perception that only through a relationship can a woman would be happy.
“Hindi mo pwedeng sabihin na kaya ka lang masaya is because you have someone in your life. In order to be happy, you must be happy on your own.”
In Impostora, Sunshine is matched with Marc Anthony Fernandez and Luis Alandy. Will rumors of affairs arise from these new team-ups? Possibly. But for Sunshine Dizon it’s all work. At least for now.
