Actress Tanya Garcia revealed the reason why she turned down an offer to become part of the top-rating primetime series, “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.”
According to her, she almost worked in the series which once starred her husband, Mark Lapid.
Coco Martin, the lead star of Ang Probinsyano– who’s also the show’s creative consultant and director, was the one who offered her a role.
“Yes. Actually, oo. Ngayon, wala na si Mark sa Probinsyano, e. Pero before he left, tinanong na rin ako ni Coco. Sabi niya, ‘Gusto mo ba? Meron akong role sana…’ Meron siyang role na ibinibigay sa akin,” she shared in an interview with PEP.ph.
Mark Lapid became part of the ABS-CBN action series from the year 2017 up to 2019.
But accepting the role offered to her by Coco Martin would have meant they would be away from their family as they work together on the show,
“Kaya lang, noong time na iyon, sabi ko, hindi naman puwedeng sabay kami, sabay kaming mawawala ni Mark, di ba? Meron siyang dalawang role. Actually, ang ganda ng role kaya lang sabi ko, hindi kami puwedeng sabay ni Mark,” she said.
This prompted Tanya Garcia to turn down the role offered to her. She needs to take care of her children; Mischa Amidala, 13, Matilda Anika, 9, and Madeleine Ariana, 4.
It wasn’t the first time she turned down a role. In the past, she refused to accept TV offers because of her family as well.
