Ricky Davao says that Jackie Rice is the new Vilma Santos

WE SAW RICKY DAVAO at Cinemalaya filmfest and we congratulated him for the huge success of “Sisid”, his first solo directorial job for GMA-7. ”I’m lucky dahil mahusay ang cast ko kaya dahil sa taas ng rating, na-extend kami for another four weeks,” he says. “Sa halip ng usual 13 weeks, we’ll run for 17 weeks. Ang laki ng improvement ni Jackie Rice as Eden, ang api-apihang heroine na pinagahasa ni Alicia Meyer pero nakaligtas. Talagang gagawin lahat ni Alicia maihiwalay lang si Jackie sa anak niyang si Dominic Roco. Patuloy rin naman ang selosan ng dalawa. Si Jackie, nagseselos kay Bela Padilla at si Dominic naman, nagseselos kay JC Tiuseco. Bembol Roco will use her para sumisid uli siya at hanapin yung giant pearl called perlante, so back to under water scenes kami.”

So will he concentrate on directing from now on? “If there are good acting roles, siempre, gusto ko pa ring umarte. Also, mas malaki pa rin ang talent fee ko as an actor than as a director, kahit mas marami kang pinoproblema at mas natetensiyon ka as director. Yun nga lang, ibang fulfilment ang nakukuha ko sa directing, lalo pag nakikita kong I can help my stars be better actors. Si Jackie will be my new Vilma Santos at si Dominic naman, si Christopher de Leon. That’s how I view them para mas gumaling sila.”
