“Still can’t believe it, to be honest. I am thankful to the whole 'Gameboys' family for welcoming us and for their continued support.  I am just happy and proud that I am part of this show. If we can make people happy in a way, then that’s fulfilling for us,” said Adriana, who plays Pearl, the ex-girlfriend of Gavreel (Kokoy de Santos).

“I’ve been getting a lot of love from people lately. It makes my heart happy and I’m grateful. I’ve done a lot roles in the past, but I think because Pearl is super relatable and real, people love her. I love her.

What does she like the most about being Pearl? “The fact that I can make people happy pala and make them feel warm. I always get tweets saying they want to have a friend like Pearl. It makes me happy.”

And why does you think "Gameboys" is receiving so much love and support, not only in the Philippines, but from international audiences as well?

"Aside from the fact that the storyline is relatable, the two lead actors are super talented, their chemistry is also strong on and off camera even if we’re just doing our scenes via Zoom and not physically together, and people can see that and they love it.”
