After being announced as part of the cast of the newest installment of Regal Films Entertainment’s well-loved horror film franchise Shake, Rattle, & Roll Extreme, singer and actress AC Bonifacio shared how it feels to be part of her first big screen project.

“I am so, so excited. First of all, this is my first movie ever and to be part of Shake, Rattle, & Roll, it’s so legendary. I’ve been watching this since I was a baby, literally since I was born in Canada pa po.

“So now that I’m here and I get to tell my family and my friends that I get to be a part of the new generation of Shake, Rattle, & Roll, it’s really an honor and I’m just so, so excited for you guys to see it because it’s super fun. We had such a good time shooting it and I’m sure people will enjoy it also,” she shared during the Shake, Rattle, & Roll Extreme cast reveal event held last September 27 at Valencia Events Place.

Earlier this year, netizens speculated that AC allegedly went through a breakup with P-Pop boy group BGYO member Nate Porcalla after they unfollowed each other on social media and several women spoke up about his questionable behavior during the time that he and AC were supposedly dating. The rumored couple first met and became friends after becoming contestants on ABS-CBN’s reality dance competition show Dance Kids Philippines in 2016.

In her solo interview with PUSH, the Shake, Rattle, & Roll actress finally confirmed that she and Nate were more than just friends.

“It was my first official (relationship). First official so parang a learning lesson talaga. And like everyone said, it’s just experience. I just go through it. I learned from it, and then I go on to the next. Then I live the rest of my life.”

Coming from the same home network, PUSH asked AC if she is still in contact or with the BGYO member.

“No. When there’s work. That’s it,” she admitted.

The 20-year-old Star Magic artist also shared the valuable lessons she learned from the relationship.

“My takeaway, for my next (relationship), definitely to just be more aware and of course love me first, give everything to myself first bago ko ibigay sa ibang tao. That’s really all it is.

“I’ve learned a lot from that relationship and it’s put me in a spot where I really have to be there for myself. I just have to love myself and I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I’ve been doing a lot of solo traveling, a lot of the things for myself. And I’m enjoying it so, so, so, so much.

“Doing things not just just in terms of my personal life but also my career. I’ve been trying to discover and explore and do things on my own also. I’m so young. I’m 20 about to be 21 and I’m taking my relationship, my bad relationship as a life lesson,” she explained to PUSH.

As for her plans for the upcoming ABS-CBN Ball on September 30, AC revealed why she is happy to not bring an escort for the event.

“I love going to the ball solo (laughs). So that’s what we’re going to do. This is my third ball na because of the pandemic, obviously. And then the prom also. But I love doing things just solo. I love being with myself, going on the red carpet, and just showing off me,” she said.

In an interview in 2021, AC Bonifacio shared her thoughts on becoming a recording artist.

"When I wasn’t in the industry before, I thought dance was just going to become a side hobby for me. I didn’t think it would become my full time. But when I got into the industry that’s when it made me realize how much more passionate I am about performing in the arts and how much I enjoy seeing the smiles on other people’s faces. Like it heals me," she said.

"Like if I’m having a bad day and like I’m really going through something, basta nasa stage ako and nag-perform ako at nakita ko na yung mga tao, yung mga fans, yung mg ACnatics ko, na nag-sa-smile na and they’re enjoying and screaming for me, like everything in the world is just good and healed."

AC remarked that she wants to be an artist to continue to inspire and entertain.

"Once I inspire someone, then they’ll start inspiring other people and the world will just become a better place," she said.

Kapamilya star AC Bonifacio named the show that made her become a K-Drama fan.

"The first K-drama I ever watched, it's called W: Two Worlds," she said in an online interview with Con-Tour of Arirang K-Pop.

"That's what really got me stuck on K-dramas and the K-drama couples. I ended up falling in love with Lee Jong-suk."

Aside from being a K-Drama fan, AC also shared that she is a big K-Pop fan.

"What really got me invested into K-pop [are] BTS and BLACKPINK," she shared.

The dancer-singer continued: "I just love, aside from their music... their personalities, their style, how they are able to show their individuality even as a group in their songs, it works so well."

AC hopes to visit the Korea again in the future. She visited the country twice already. AC said that she wants to take dance classes in the country.

"I always have plans of going to Korea. If I was there, I'd love to meet up with some artists that I know there, some of my friends, fans and of course, I'd love to perform at 'Simply Con-tour,'" she stated.

The Kapamilya star added: "And I wanna eat lots of food. And take dance classes. Korea is like top-tier for dance classes, dance choreography."

AC had previously made dance covers of BLACKPINK's hits like "Pretty Savage" and "Lovesick Girls."

She also won second place in the K-Pop girl group's "How You Like That" dance cover in 2020.

In an interview with Richard Juan for his podcast "Your dose of InspirASIAN" in 2021, AC was asked if she has plans to audition to become a K-Pop idol trainee.

The Kapamilya star replied: "I've been told that I should audition and stuff and I have but knowing how K-Pop idols train, usually how they start from, you know, like they are kinda unknown first, you know what I mean. They have very strict rules and they still follow those strict rules so I think right now I am happy being here in the Philippines with my friends and family and ABS(CBN)."

In November 2021, AC released her single "Fool No Mo," which was composed by Jonathan Manalo and Trisha Denise.

"I am so excited to be part of Star Magic Records and to finally release music. It’s something that I definitely wanted to do for a while now," she said in a previous interview with Manila Bulletin about the single.

"It sounded so different when it was given to me in July. But what I love about working with Star Magic Records and Sir Jonathan Manalo is that they are very collaborative. We really took the time to make the song to be how we wanted it to be," she added.

In November 2022, AC revealed that she recorded two songs in Los Angeles, California.

"I have an original song coming out that I wrote with sir Jonathan (Manalo) and Jeremy (Glinoga), coming out very soon, also a Hollywood song that'll come out maybe sooner than you think," she said.

AC shared that she collaborated with an international artist in one of the songs.
