Patricia Tumulak and her
many roles
Kapuso TV host-actress Patricia
Tumulak remains resolute in pursuing
her love for acting and being an
advocate of reading.
The GMA Artist Center star plays
Queenie in the newest GMA Afternoon
Prime musical drama series, Inagaw
na Bituin, which has been receiving
praises and high ratings ever since it
started airing.
“Hard work definitely pays off.
I’m happy that the viewers like and
appreciate the show. I get more
motivated to work. I’m extremely
grateful and honored to be part of
this stellar cast. I’m elated because
it’s a good training ground for me to
hone my skills in acting, plus I get to
work with my idols in the industry,”
she said.
Patricia feels ecstatic as she
challenges herself to do both of
what she’s passionate about - acting
and hosting. The immense support
she’s surrounded with inspires her
to explore her undeniable talent as
she continues to hone her craft as an
artist.
“I’m so grateful sa GMA kasi
they trust me when it comes to
hosting and acting. So kahit anong
ibigay na opportunity, I’ll do my best.
Nakakataba rin ng puso yung love
from my family, friends and viewers
na hindi nagsasawang sumuporta.”
Aside from this, she makes sure
to stay committed to her aspirations
outside the entertainment scene. The
enthusiasm she has for teaching,
which she refers to as her first love,
never goes away; it only continues to
bloom and unravel new and exciting
things for her.
A graduate of Early Childhood
Education, the Kapuso beauty aspires
to put up her own preschool someday.
She gets a big head start in putting her
dreams into action as she carries out
her passion project, ‘Push to Read.’
“With my line of work now, I can’t
do full time so I thought of making my
own initiative wherein I can squeeze
time in between work or during my
free time to be with kids and educate
them,” shared Patricia.
Last year, she conducted her
project in Bacolod which motivated
her to make Push to Read a nationwide
project.
“I gather kids from different
barangays to conduct a story telling.
Aside from sharing my blessings, my
mission is to instill the love of reading
to kids by helping develop their
imagination and creativity.”
