Jillian Ward, David Licacuco take up gun handling, knife fighting training for 'Never Say Die'
According to Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras," Wednesday, Jillian is training with action veterans Raymart Santiago, Wendell Ramos, and Tanjo Villoso.
"I'm 20, I'm trying something new, mas matured na po, mas seryoso and action na talaga," Jillian said.
"Ngayon po nagsa-start kami with sticks para lang po makapag-warm up. Tapos po tuturuan nila ako paano humawak ng baril properly, mga kicks, ganiyan. So parang a mixture of everything po siya," she said.
Like Jillian, David also requires intense training for the series.
"Mag-aaral kami ng arnis, also mga knife, knifing, fighting. I think mag-aaral din kami ng guns. Noong bata ako, 'yun 'yung pangarap ko eh, 'yung maging gaya ni Jet Li. Mahilig akong mag-boxing, tsaka nag-karate ako noong bata ako," David said.
His background as a varsity basketball player has aided him, particularly with the footwork.
"'Yung arnis, I think it's puro footwork, and basketball player, so medyo athletic naman tayo kahit papaano, 'di ba? So yeah, I would say kaya naman. Needs improvement pa siyempre," he said.
Jillian recently starred in "My Ilonggo Girl" and appeared on "Mga Batang Riles," while David starred in "Pulang Araw" and also has a guest appearance on "Beauty Empire." —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
