KATRINA HALILI doesn’t mind playing another villain role in GMA-7’s newest primetime series, “Munting Heredera”, that starts airing on Monday. She plays Lynette, a woman who’d do everything to steal Mark Anthony Fernandez away from Camille Prats. “Bakit naman ako mag-iinarte pa kung bagay naman talaga sa’kin ang magkontrabida?” she says. “Ilang buwan na rin naman akong nakapahinga after ‘Beauty Queen’ kaya ready na ko sumabak uli sa trabaho. Also, ‘Munting Heredera’ is directed by one of my favorite directors, si Direk Maryo J. de los Reyes, who handled me in ‘Magdusa Ka’ na naging nominated pa sa abroad, so I’m really happy to work with him again. I was so flattered when he told me he requested GMA na makasama niya ako rito sa bagong show niya. I’m also thankful to GMA dahil naging supportive sila sa’kin all the time na may problema ako. We had a heart to heart talk and they told me they miss yung dating ako na masayahin. E, bigla, dahil sa problema, naging tahimik na lang ako, nasa isang sulok lang. But hindi na ngayon, I promised to them I’d change kaya heto, madaldal na uli ako. Dati kasi, takot akong magsalita, but I realized you should really open up, express yourself and face your fears to grow. Kung dati, naging bato ako, ngayon, tao na uli ako. Kung dati, sa set, nasa van lang ako waiting for my take, ngayon, lumalabas na ko’t nakikipagkuwentuhan sa lahat.”
So is she ready to fall in love again? “Yun ang ayoko pa. Gusto ko munang mas ayusin ang sarili ko. Kaysa mag-boyfriend, I want to devote more time to my family and friends.”
