AC Bonifacio has already made her mark with her incredible skills in dancing and singing. Now, she's exploring her artistic horizons further by delving into acting, portraying the enigmatic villain Nikki Romero in "High Street" Her captivating visuals and sharp talent showcase a new side of her, impressing both her dedicated fans and casual viewers alike.
Witness AC's versatility in action through this video montage of scenes compiled by Kapamilya Toplist.
She looked ‘astig’ in that sequence where she was caught mingling with a group of men drinking in an apartment building. When her fellow budding journalists Sky (Andrea Brillantes) and Wesley (Harvey Bautista) asked her what she was up to, she casually explained that it was part of her strategy to gather information, and it proved to be successful.
She seamlessly shifted to sweet and friendly in a flashback where she and Wesley introduced themselves to their new team at work. However, beneath that gentleness resides a deceptive facade. It was later revealed that she and Wesley were the hackers and stalkers monitoring Sky, under the employ of Tori (Dimples Romana). Her expression at that moment was a masterclass in subtlety and calculation, showcasing her prowess in portraying a complex and intriguing spy character.
Playing the multifaceted role of Nikki demands AC to adopt various personas. She adeptly feigned kindness towards Sky, manipulating her to keep her away from the truth about her half-sister Z (Daniela Stranner)’s kidnapping. Little did Sky know, Nikki and Wesley were the masterminds behind the abduction, taking cues from Tori's instructions behind the scenes. AC navigated Nikki's complex layers with skill, revealing her character's deceptive and manipulative depths.
Being a spy and hacker requires sharp intellect and the art of discretion, both of which AC effortlessly dons as Nikki on screen. This was evident when she and Wesley quietly argued in the office, as she observed her partner in crime appearing impressed by Sky’s abilities. She then coolly informed Wesley that Z was fighting for her life, yet predicted their hostage would inevitably surrender, showcasing Nikki's cunning nature.
And let us not forget how fearless she made Nikki appear when she berated her men for their negligence after Z nearly escaped from the hideout. AC masterfully infused her performance with a palpable sense of thrill as she donned a creepy costume to hunt for Z on the streets. Her presence was both enigmatic and commanding, captivating the audience with her every move.
Her talent also shines in her shots with seasoned actress Dimples Romana. One standout moment is when she reports to Tori's (Dimples) office to explain the lapses in Z's hostage situation. AC's ability to keep up with such an experienced actress really shows off her impressive talent and range.
In the final sequence, Nikki's concern mounted as her goons teetered on the brink of capture by Sky and her friend, Tim (Zaijian Jaranilla). However, instead of sharing her anxiety, Wesley chose to deride the clumsiness of her team, injecting a moment of unexpected levity into the tense scene.
Catch AC and the whole gang of “High Street.” The series airs weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, TV5, and A2Z.
