Nova Villa talks about why she left ABS-CBN

NOVA VILLA acted as the emcee-spokesperson for the whole cast of “Nita Negrita” during its final presscon.

“Masaya kaming lahat kasi matatapos ang show na mataas pa rin ang rating namin,” she said. “Nagna-number one daw kami. Drama itong show pero masaya kami lagi sa set kasi magkasundo kaming lahat, walang primadonna, walang pasaway. Sama-sama kami kung kami at nagse-share lahat ng ulam, lalo na si Lotlot de Leon na laging may baong daing na bangus. Malaki ang utang na loob ko sa GMA-7 dahil dito ko na-realize sa show na ito in my role as Nana Ima na kaya ko palang magdrama. I really enjoyed working with them kasi all the staffers are sensitive to the needs of the stars. Very considerate silang lahat.”

So why did she leave ABS-CBN? “Ayokong umalis. Kaso, ang tagal ko nang walang show. Pinipigilan nila ako, laging sinasabi may project sila for me, pero wala naman. I want to stay sana, but I have bills to pay. E, dito sa GMA, di pa tapos itong ‘Nita Negrita’, inabisuhan na kong may kasunod na kong project na sa June ang start ng taping. Pero ang wish ko talaga, yaman din lang na si Gloria Romero, narito na rin sa GMA, sana magkasama kami sa isang project dahil noon ko pa siya gusto makatrabaho. Ang contemporary niyang the late Nida Blanca, lagi kong kasama noon, so wish ko talaga, kami naman ang magkasama.”
