Roberta Daleon—a.k.a. Ube Lola in the showbiz industry—has always wanted to be an artista. For her, acting is not just a pastime. It is her heart’s true desire. When we asked if she wanted to take on the role of Lola Belinda for My Pope’s commercial, Bridge, Ube Lola gamely agreed to be part of this project that brings family members closer together. We sit down with our star as she tells us about her loved ones and her thirst for acting.

How then were you able to start acting?
