<p>Filipino Broadway star Lea Salonga graced the cover of the October issue of <em>Vogue Philippines.</em></p><p>In her interview with the magazine, the singer talked about her approach when it comes to playing her roles.</p><p>&quot;It&rsquo;s not a mask, it&rsquo;s a switch. I want what happens to come across as real,&quot; she told <em>Vogue Philippines.</em></p><p>She also discussed her upcoming play <em>Request sa Radyo</em> which is far different from her other projects. &quot;But challenge is good. Getting pushed out of your comfort zone is good. Learning different ways to act, that kind of thing is cool,&quot; she remarked in the magazine interview.&nbsp;</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DAj4TeazMUl/embed/?cr=1&v=14&wp=607&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A122805.5%2C%22ls%22%3A9897.099999999627%2C%22le%22%3A9908.899999999441%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="882" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 0px 0px 12px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Fans online were quick to react to Lea&#39;s magazine cover.</p><p>&quot;A true legend!&quot; one fan wrote.</p><p>&quot;I love it!
