Paolo Ballesteros is Warla, Derek Ramsay’s New Villain in ‘Kidlat’

Eat Bulaga! mainstay Paolo Ballesteros crosses over to the Kapatid Network to portray one of Derek Ramsay's new villains in the primetime superserye "Kidlat."

In the primetime superserye “Kidlat,” Paolo Ballesteros will portray the role of Walter, a poor yet hardworking cook who is often bullied for being a weakling. His life changes when he finds a magical stone that turns him into Warla, a beautiful villain with feminine features who possesses superhuman strength and impressive combat skills.

During the press conference for “Kidlat” last February 19 at Plaza Ibarra, Timog, Paolo Ballesteros shared with the entertainment press the nature of the character that he will play.

“Bubulabugin ko si Derek, eto kasi, ako talaga si Walter, yung kapag tao, bakla. Ang kaibahan nito, si Walter, hindi siya yung strong na bakla na kamukha ng mga ginawa ko sa ‘I Heart You Pare’ na kontrabida na agad. Siya kinakawawa—binu-bully, binabatuk-batukan ng stepfather,” he said.

Just like the popular super heroine Darna, Paolo’s superpowers will come from a stone.

“May napulot daw ako na bato, kasi meron akong bato na inaalagaan ko,” he said.

But unlike in Darna, he will now swallow the magical stone.

“Ang laki ng bato! At matigas at may tulis-tulis yung bato, ‘Lulunukin ko ba ito? Hindi ba puwedeng ilaga muna tapos iinumin ko na lang yung sabaw?’” he joked.

“Basta may bato, parang nahi-hypnotize ako doon sa bato. Tapos, nung nakita ng friend ko si Joey (Ritz Azul) pumunta siya sa bahay, nakita niya yung bato. Sabi niya, ‘Ano ito?’ Parang na-hypnotize ako, bigla akong nagalit sa kanya, ‘Huwag mong hahawakan ‘yan!’ Ganun,” he added.

Catch Paolo transforms into Warla in the upcoming episodes of “Kidlat” on weeknights at 6:45PM right after Aksyon on TV5.
