🎙️ This week on Tita Salita, we’re joined by an undeniable on-screen force and creative multi-hyphenate: Victoria Sawal—actress, singer-songwriter, and frontwoman of the band Sanserif.
You’ve seen Victoria in global hits like Star Trek: Discovery, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Umbrella Academy, and films including Pacific Rim (after being discovered by Guillermo del Toro 👀), Sanguine, and the Scarborough-based feature Morningside. But beyond the screen, Victoria brings depth, vulnerability, and powerful Filipina representation to everything she creates.
In this episode, we dive deep into her journey—how she found her voice across acting and music, how her Filipino upbringing shapes her artistry, and what it truly means to carry culture, responsibility, and visibility in today’s entertainment industry.
✨ What we cover in this episode:
Victoria’s path into acting and music—and which came first
• Being discovered for Pacific Rim and realizing this was her calling
• The emotional differences between acting and songwriting
• Navigating life as both an actress and a band frontwoman
• Filipina identity, representation, and casting in film & TV
• What she wants young Filipino creatives to know about the industry
• The rise of Sanserif, sold-out shows, and what’s coming next
• Dream roles, dream collaborations, and where she sees herself evolving
🎶 Music Mode: Victoria opens up about Sanserif’s creative energy, the duality of her performances, and the themes shaping their upcoming EP.
🔥 Filipino Flash: Get ready for rapid-fire fun—from adobo vs. sinigang and karaoke chaos, to Filipino superstitions, Toronto Pinoy energy, Jollibee debates, and what her Lola would really say if she saw her perform live.
🗣️ This week's Filipino Phrase is a perfect reminder for artists, creatives, and anyone stepping boldly into who they’re becoming.
