Former beauty queen and volleyball player Michelle Gumabao is returning to show business and hopes to pursue action series or movies. During a press conference at Victorino's in Timog, Quezon City, on July 11, Michelle revealed she's open to action projects, considering her interests in adventure and extreme sports. "Isa yun sa hino-hope ko rin na magkaroon ng isang role sa isang project.
Kung kaya ko rin matutunan yung ibang stunts, it's also something na gusto ko rin masubukan if given an opportunity," Michelle said. When she returned to showbiz, Michelle said she would continue volleyball. She explained why she decided to focus on sports before showbiz.
"At that time ang dami ko pang pangarap sa volleyball. When I started volleyball, halos college na talaga. Coming from the De La Salle na nag champion kami papuntang professional league, na kakaumpisa pa lang, I wanted to see kung hanggang saan ang contribution ko sa sport.
"Hindi rin naman ako agad makakapasok sa showbiz if not for sports. So that time, I wanted to give back to sports muna na nagbigay sa aking ng maraming opportunity. "Excited kami how everything will unfold kasi nga bago ang volleyball professional league.
Volleyball is now gaining popularity and attention locally and internationally," said Michelle, brother of hunk actor Marco Gumabao. Michelle, 31, believes her height of 5'10 is not an issue regarding having a leading man. "Actually I considered acting after Pinoy Big Brother kaso wala silang mahanap na.
