Zaijan Jaranilla - Up Close and Personal

(by Egay Sandalo of inbetweentakes.com)

The seven-year old boy who has to beg off from his schooling in favor of the role is your typical playful (malikot and vivo) boy. In between takes, with not only the twelve men playing the role of priests and parents as his co-workers but the staff and crew around giving him our full attention, is simply a natural growing little boy. While waiting for the take, Zaijan loves to show his older co-workers his antics specially his skill in performing a rap number. Yes, the little boy can rap with lyrics that he himself invented. In several instances, he is fond of giving us some karate chops which when I ask where he learned it from, he confided that he is undergoing formal training in martial arts.

His ability to easily cry is I guess a natural thing, maybe his second nature. I witness several instances when would ask during rehearsals for a take, “iiyak na ba ako?”. But, when told by the Assistant Director to hold his emotions, to hold his tears because there were still some technical adjustments to be done, he obeyed, and when it was a take and he was already suppose to cry, the tears simply fell like rain on his baby face. Just as quick as he was able to cry for the take, he was also as quick to revert back to his normal emotions.
