About the show
YouTube sensation Ashley Rivera aka Petra Mahalimuyak is taking her crazy antics to the next level. 2012 has brought nothing but whirlwind blessings to Petra.

Her first reaction? "Naloka ako." She wasn't expecting things to turn out this way and this quick. "I've only been here for few months peru nabigyan na ko ng opportunity to have my own show, which I think is good kasi mas mapapagaling yung, mapapagaling talaga... I mean, mas magiging okay yung pagiging host ko. Kasi maganda nga maging host tapos actress. Very versatile diba? Kasi I can do comedy and other stuff so this will be a good practice for me."

Aside from being a host, she also be impersonating other movie characters. "Kunwari diba yung movie sa isang scene, gagayahin ko. Parang No Other Woman, parang what I did on my YouTube videos. Pero yung tutorial, maybe next time."

Petra is also privileged to be directed by former Child Wonder Niño Muhlach, whom she describes as "baliw" just like her. "Isa pang baliw. Kaya… masaya naman yung shoot, medyo ngarag kami. But it's fun kasi it's not that serious. Hindi rin siya yung talagang terror na director, which is good. Medyo nare-relax din ako sa kanya."

The showbiz is a whole new world for Petra. A few months ago, she was only singing and acting inside her bathroom... alone. This time, she has to work with a director and a team.

"Sa totoo lang nag-a-adjust pa rin ako kasi before, ako yung in control of everything. Like yung camera, my own time, my own script. Everything ako lang, sarili ko lang yung inaalala ko. But now, parang talagang production siya. Andun yung pressure eh."

"It's just that nape-pressure ka kasi sa'kin nakasalalay yung time na mga tao. And of course, gusto kong matapos na and may pagka-perfectionist din ako. I want everything to look nice, hindi yung minadali. But at the same time, ang hirap din. Basta it's hard but I'm still adjusting."

But this 'panny' girl is ready to face all challenges, just like how she won 1M pesos in the AXE Anarchy Raid. She vows to just do her best and never give up. "Ito yung ginusto ko. Kakayanin ko."
