MANILA -- "A really brave show." This is how actor Jericho Rosales wanted the viewers of hit ABS-CBN's series "Lavender Fields" to be remembered.
Rosales shared his thoughts about the drama's upcoming finale in an interview with ABS-CBN News and other members of entertainment media on Monday, January 6.
Rosales' co-stars Jolina Magdangal, Janine Gutierrez and Jodi Sta. Maria were also present.
"I see it as a really, really brave show. If we were given more time and everything resources and stuff, we could have done so much more pa with the show. It was really hard to balance the teleserye thing, whatever you call it to sa needs ng mga tao ngayon, especially there's streaming," Rosales said.
"So, kailangan mo i-balance... pero kailangan ma-hook 'yung mga tao. So it was really, really brave. I want them to remember the show as Jodi's offbeat kind of role, Janine's first unexpected contravida role, my first red flag role, Jolina's first super dramatic role. So I wanted them to remember that this is a show that had great acting," he added.

Rosales, who admitted that he was always happy on the set, also shared the thing that challenged him doing the series.
"Medyo na-challenge ako doon sa preparation time for action because, of course, for me I wanted it to be perfect pero siyempre may hinahabol kaming schedule. We could have done better action scenes pa, but then again it's just me in my head," said the actor who admitted being a perfectionist.
"Some challenges were travel from Manila to Tagaytay every other day so kalog na kalog talaga kami, hilong-hilo kami but everything else okay lang ganoon talaga, happy 'yung shoot, happy," he added.
Rosales said some of the memorable scenes he has done for "Lavender Fields" were the beginning and end.
"The beginning part of the show was really like naka-embed sa isip ko kung ano ang mangyayari sa kanya, then the last," he said.
"Lavender Fields" aired its pilot episode last September 2 with Sta. Maria's character meeting Tyrone, the character of Rosales.
"Lavender Fields" airs its remaining episodes on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, iWantTFC, TFC, A2Z, TV5, and Netflix.
For Jodi Sta. Maria, 'Lavender Fields' is a beautiful journey
After "Lavender Fields," Rosales is planning to do music, film and new project with Gutierrez.
"I'm going to do a lot, a lot more," he said.
