Myrtle Sarrosa shared about accidentally cutting Elle Villanueva's hair during a violent scene in the upcoming Kapuso revenge series "Makiling" which will premiere on Monday, Jan. 8.

During a media conference held at the Luxent Hotel in Quezon City, Myrtle admitted she got emotional and felt guilty when she realized she really cut Elle's hair.

"I make sure that my co-actors don't get hurt, especially when the characters demand or require it. Minsan bibigyan kami ng mga scenes na hindi talaga siya kayang dayain like sampalin or sabunutan. Pero minsan nadudulas kami at naaksidenteng nasusugatan. 

"Unintentionally may nakasamang tunay na buhok na nagupit ko. After nun, nag-iyakan talaga kami ni Elle. Alam ko na napakahalaga ng hair niya but I accidentally cut her hair. Nakasama talaga siya sa hair extensions. 

"I really felt bad and mga two days talaga ako nag sorry sa kanya. So sabi niya, wag ka ngang magsorry wala yun! Minsan kasi napapanaginipan ko. Sabi ko, "Oh my God! Sobrang binigay ko yung 100 percent ko sa scene baka nasaktan ko siya. 

"But I appreciate na open lahat ng co-actors ko and we deliver what requires to be delivered. To shake it off, we hug each other. Then nag-uusap kami para walang samaan ng loob," said Myrtle.

Elle said she cried when she saw the actual hair that was cut during the scene.

"Noong nangyari yun, that was the day na kinunan naman na mabigat. Kaya masyadong heightened na yung emotions ko. 

"After that take, pinakita sa akin kung gaano na kaikli yung buhok ko. Nagulat ako sabi ko parang totoo na. Habang sinasampal ako ni Myrtle noon, sabi ko anong nangyayari? Feeling ko inaabuso na ako ng mga tao. 

"Kasi akala ko as an actor, napupunta na siya sa'yo. Parang masyado ng nae-embody yung role sa sarili mo. Minsan delikado yun.

"Umiyak ako noon. Kinausap ko po sila ang mga boss ko. Nagmeeting po kami at sinabi ko yung na-experience ko at yung nilalaman ng loob ko. I'm so happy na nakinig po sila. Sa totoo lang, mahirap magsalita kapag bagong artista ka. I appreciate na they are very understanding. 

"After that, sinabi nila sa akin si Myrtle umiiyak. Then pumasok si Myrtle sa tent. Sabi ko, 'My gosh, bakit ka umiiyak? Tapos pareho na kaming umiiyak. Sabi ko, okay lang ito don't worry. 

"Sana hindi na lang kami nagkasakitan ng loob kasi baka masama rin ang loob niya sa akin. Pero kahit na nagkakasakitan na kami sa set, may concern pa rin talaga kami sa isa't isa," said Elle.

Headlined by Sultry Leading Lady Elle Villanueva and Sparkle Debonnaire Derrick Monasterio, Makiling tells the story of Amira, a provincial lass struggling to pay off her family’s debts by working in Manila where she will find herself the unfortunate target of a group of rich, powerful, and sadistic bullies. She endures unspeakable suffering and adversities, including a near-death experience, but returns completely transformed and hell-bent on claiming the justice and revenge she believes she rightfully deserves.
