In an interview by ABS-CBN News, Erich said it’s an honor to portray the life of Grace Poe.

“Isa nga pong malaking karangalan na gumanap bilang isang Ms. Grace Poe dito sa life story niya. Makikita natin ‘yung mga pinagdaanan niya, nung bata siya, nung paglaki niya, ‘yung relationship niya po sa mga magulang niya, na king and queen and Philippine movies,” she said.

The 44-year-old Poe-Llamanzares is the adopted daughter of the late Fernando Poe, Jr. and veteran actress Susan Roces, and the half-sister of Kapuso actress Lovi Poe.

Gonzales prepared for this project by watching Poe-Llamanzares’ interviews in order to emulate her mannerisms, behavior and the way she talks.
