Francine Prieto plays a mom

FRANCINE PRIETO doesn't mind playing the mom of Kristel Moreno in Legalas Entertainment's "Pitas". "This is my first indie film and noon ko pa gusto mag-try nito so I'm really excited about it," she says. "Okay lang naman for me to do mother roles kasi challenging ang role at iba naman ang audience ng indie films. Eventually, I'd really like to do more character roles kasi mas mahaba ang buhay ng character actors sa industry dahil mas marami kang puedeng gawin."

She got a lot of flak when she wrote it in her Twitter account: "I hate God." "Parang nasabi ko lang yun but I don't really mean it. Nataon kasing na-ospital uli ang mom ko dahil di makahinga. May fluid pala sa lungs and yung kanyang cancer has spread to her lungs. While rushing her to the hospital, may naaksidente pa kaming tao sa daan and I spent P200,000 more para ipagamot ito. Wala pa kong regular TV show. So, sabi ko, ano ba naman ito? Parang sinagad na ako sa dami ng problema. When you feel like that, feeling mo umabot ka na sa point na hate mo na si Lord, but it doesn't mean I no longer have faith in Him, patuloy pa rin nga akong nagdarasal sa Kanya at humingi na ako ng tawad. Alam ko, kakayanin ko ito, pero sana-hindi naman yung sunod-sunod ang dating ng problema na wala na kong pahinga."
