DID SEN.
BONG REVILLA and Vic Sotto make sure they have equal exposure in “Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote” even before the script was written? “Walang ganun, yung binilang namin kung ilang ang eksena ng bawat isa at pati mga dialogue to make sure pantay kami,” says Bong. “Wala kaming di pinagkasunduan ni Vic kasi pumayag nga siyang mauna ako sa billing, that’s how much of a gentleman he is. Pero ako mismo ang nagsabi na
siya talaga ang dapat mauna kasi mas senior siya sa akin. Our primary concern is not kung magsasapawan kami o may madedehado but the flow of the story. Plinantsa namin kung paano magtatagpo sina Agimat at Enteng kasi there are three different worlds in the film: the fairy world of Engkantasia, the world of Agimat, and the real world. Kung paano magkikita-kita yung tatlo, yun ang pinagbutihan namin. Sa mga eksena naman, he takes care of most of the comedy scenes at sa’kin naman yung action.”
A writer told him that Arnold Clavio has reported about him as a blind item, but in a very identifiable way. “Yes, I heard about that. May ka-date daw akong young girl sa Sonia’s Garden sa Tagaytay at nagsusubuan pa kami ng pagkain. That’s very foolish kasi kung gagawa rin lang ako ng kalokohan, ba’t dun pa? Yung owner, si Sonia, kumare ng wife kong si Lani (Mercado) at di maisusumbong na ako agad. Nagtataka lang ako kung bakit bina-blind item ko, e pareho naman kaming Kapuso? Di ba we should care for each other?”
