The Kapuso star is an incoming senior at Lyceum of the Philippines in Cavite, where she is taking up Foreign Service.
She admits balancing school and taping for her television shows can be difficult. But Louise tries her best to do so.
So the 18-year-old actress tries to find a compromise that would let her complete school requirements while taping “My Beloved.”
“Nakiusap ako sa Senate na hindi ko mapupuno yung ten hours per day nila. So ako, ten to five lang ako or ten to four. Sa taping naman, pag di ako mapakawalan, pinakakiusap ko na baka pwedeng i-move yung call time o pwedeng ma-cancel kung di ako pwede,” Louise told members of the press.
Louise added she didn’t find the transition between the entertainment industry and local politics too difficult.
“Hindi na ako masyadong nagugulat na amazed na amazed ako, although natutuwa ako kasi ang dami kong natututunan. Mas lalo akong natututo kasi andun na mismo ako sa Senate,” she explained.
After college
Her goal after college is just as impressive as her determination to finish school despite a busy showbiz career. She wants to take up law at the University of the Philippines in Diliman.
But since she is one of today’s busier Kapuso stars (besides “My Beloved,” a show with on-screen partner Alden Richards is in the works), Louise knows she has to choose between law school and showbiz someday.
“Kung di naman ako papatok sa showbiz, talagang magfo-focus ako. Kasi alam kong pag pumasok ako sa law school, talagang dapat naka-focus ka lang dun. Wala dapat sagabal. Talagang kailangan mong i-sacrifice,” she said.
Louise added: “Sabi rin sa akin ng iba, yung opportunity mo bilang artista, ngayon lang yan e. Ngayon dumarating sa `yo. Yung school mo, andyan lang yan. Hindi naman next year, wala ng UP e. So kung ano yung kailangan mong i-grab ngayon, yun yung kailangan mong kunin. Ako, nasa thin line pa rin ako. Talagang tinitignan ko talaga.”
Enzo not an issue
Louise said her busy schedule is one of the reasons why she and fellow Kapuso star Enzo Pineda are just friends and are “getting there.”
“Kami namang dalawa, open kami sa press na we’re getting there, na andun na kaya lang, katulad ko, sobrang busy. Nahihirapan din akong kumuha ng time,” she said. “Mahirap yung commitment ngayon para sa aming dalawa. Pero happy ako na dyan siya, na supportive siya sa mga ginagawa ko. And ganun din naman ako.”
She thinks her special friendship with Enzo shouldn’t interfere with her successful tandem with Alden since stars who make up love teams have separate reel and real lives.
“Marami namang ganun. Naniniwala ako na pwedeng mong ihiwalay,” Louise said. “Yun nga yung sinasabi nung iba. Kasi iba naman yung personal life sa trabaho.”
