Director Fm Reyes Still Pained By The Death Of His And Wife Rita Avila'S Baby

DIRECTOR FM REYES admitted he cried when he was directing the scene in “E-Boy” showing the death of Ariel Rivera’s son. It brought back memories of the passing of his and wife Rita Avila’s own baby. “Nagulat ako when someone asked me about during the presscon as it reminded me of so many painful things na hanggang ngayon, masakit pa rin,” he says. “But we all have to move on and I’m glad sa’kin nabigay ang pagdidirek ng ‘E-Boy’ kasi it’s really not a show for children but about the family.”

Is there pressure on his part that the show will be aired in a slot where all past shows involving kids like Zaijian Jaranilla and Xyriel Manabat were all topraters? “Yes, meron, but iba naman ang show namin. Yung ‘May Bukas Pa’ and ‘100 Days to Heaven’, more on the spiritual. Kami naman, more on the pragmatic side, about science kasi tungkol sa making a robot. It’s right to rely on God but you should also contribute something. Ikaw, bilang tao, ano bang puede mong gawin nang di puro asa na lang ng asa sa Diyos. And I’m so happy our star is Bugoy Carino as he’s very intelligent. He easily understands kung ano gusto mong ipagawa sa kanya. You can see his parents raised him well compared to other child stars kasi ang ganda ng attitude. Kahit pagod na kami lahat, he smiles or breaks into song kaya maaaliw ka talaga sa presence niya sa set.”
