“Yung scary scenes, dapat lang namang dagdagan as this is a horror movie at kailangan talagang matakot ang audience,” she says. “But yung sexy scenes, sabi ko, baka naman maging sobrang daring at hindi na puede sa mga bata. But Mother Lily and our director, Jerrold Tarog, explained to me na pambalanse lang ito sa horror scenes in the movie at nang magkaroon naman ng lighter moments of romance. So I consented to do it para sa ikagaganda ng movie. I just trusted Direk Jerrold and Mother Lily.”
Lovi is really happy with way her career is going. “After I did ‘My Valentine Girls’, ‘Temptation Island’ and ‘My Neighbor’s Wife’, also for Regal, heto, they gave me another good project in ‘Aswang’ and to top that, meron pa kong filmfest entry na ‘Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow’ where I get to work with the likes of Maricel Soriano, Gabby Concepcion and Jericho Rosales. Talagang magaganda ang projects na binibigay ni Mother Lily sa’kin and I can feel she cares for me very much.”
She’s also happy for the kind words for her of her dad’s widow, Susan Roces. “I was awed when she said she’s willing to work with me and I think, if ever that would come true, it would be a very big blessing for me. Sana nga, magkatotoo as I’ll be so honored to get the chance to work with her, the Queen of Philippine Movies, ang taong minahal ng papa ko.”
Lovi is calling on all her fans to attend her “meet and greet” fans day at the Robinsons Pioneer at EDSA on Friday, October 28. Her co-stars in “Aswang”, Paulo Avelino and Jomes Bascon, will be there so don’t miss this chance to meet them in person.
