In the short film, Liza and Dolly embraced multiple characters that were influenced by their personal dream roles and favorite films.
"She gives so much even when the camera’s not on her, and I always appreciate an actor that gives even when it's not their moment.
"But aside from that, she’s such an amazing human being.
"It’s like, so lovely talking to her, having real conversations about things that really matter and she’s so down to earth, like I’ve really found a role model in her, and she’s so inspiring."
Liza was pleasantly amazed by Dolly's willingness to embrace unexpected character roles in the short film, although she had anticipated this from the award-winning actress.
"I was so surprised that she would, you know, go all out with those characters too.
"But you know, Ms. Dolly is really... she’s an actress, she’s a real actress.
"So, anything that you would give to her, she will take to heart, like she will take it very seriously and give her one hundred percent best."

Liza further expressed gratitude for Dolly's mentorship, highlighting the significance of her advice to remain true to herself and grounded as she pursues her career in Hollywood.

"Obviously like, she told me if ever I wanted to meet any of her friends from L.A., she’s more than willing to introduce them to me.
"But I think the advice that I really appreciate from her the most she told me to be genuine, to be true to myself, to stand by my values, and stay grounded...
"And you know, those are the words the I keep with me wherever I go.

LIZA SOBERANO: TRAVEL HACKS
Meanwhile, Liza has been living out of a suitcase due to her frequent travels.
On February 25, 2024, she attended the Screen Actors Guild Awards 2024 in California, USA. This was followed by her appearance at the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Japan on March 2, 2024.
After briefly returning to the Philippines for the Maya event, she flew back to the USA for Elton John's Oscars Party on March 10, 2024.
Liza is grateful for the convenience of using her Maya account to cover her travel expenses.
She told PEP.ph, "They’ve made traveling so convenient for me I never have to worry about money needs because...
"I think my biggest issue back then with all my other credit cards or cards that I was using is like, I was always afraid whether my card would be blocked or not, and just the hassle of having to call the bank and wait for like thirty minutes to an hour to just get on the phone with the customer service representative...
"And so, I love that I kind of have a security blanket with my Maya card I’m sure that it will always work.
"I’m able to keep track of my expenses in real time because of the app I’m sure that my money is secured always I never encountered with like losing money or anything so I think Maya is the most reliable bank, in my opinion."
Liza mentioned that she put her card's convenience to the test during her recent trip to Japan, where she enjoyed shopping.
"I go shopping anywhere with my Maya card honestly.
"I’m constantly like, surprised and amazed by where it starts... like where it works because some of my cards won’t work at like, for example parking places.
"I can never use any of my other cards, only my Maya card would work."
