IS Nadine Samonte an ingrate for leaving GMA 7 for TV5?

SINCE NADINE SAMONTE plays twin sisters in TV5’s “The Sisters”, she was presented at the grand presscon as her twin selves and writers thought they’re seeing double. It turns out Nadine’s younger sister was just made up to look like her. So how does it feel being given the big buildup by TV5 and what can she say to those who claim she's an ingrate for leaving GMA-7? “Sobrang saya po and I’m so excited sa TV5,” she says. “I’m thankful to GMA-7 for all the breaks they gave me but tapos na po yung contract ko with them and I felt it’s time for me to move on. I want to grow with TV5. While they’re growing, I’ll grow with them. Binigyan nila ko ng ganito kalaking project. Mahirap gawin as I play two roles and we tape four times a week, but ganado ko, high ang energy ko to give my best para masuklian ang pagtitiwala nila.”

“The Sisters” is replacing “Babaeng Hampaslupa” that did very well. “May pressure but I’m confident na we’ll also rate well dahil sa suporta ng management and all my co-stars. Ang ganda rin kasi ng story based sa novel ni Rod Santiago. Na-film na raw ito before pero maraming binago, but this time, we stick to the original story at yun na nga, both characters ng mabait na si Cristina at ng luka-lukang si Bella, ako pareho ang gumaganap.”

Supporting Nadine are Zoren Legaspi and Lotlot de Leon as her parents, Eddie Garcia as the governor, Susan Africa as his social climbing wife and newcomer Victor Silayan as their son, Rio Locsin as Zoren’s sister who plays villain to them, Alicia Alonzo as the family yaya, Eula Caballero as Alicia’s grandchild paired with Victor, Edgar Allan Guzman as Nadine’s gay best friend, and Wendell Ramos, Leandro Munoz and James Blanco as her three leading men , directed by Joyce Bernal.
