“Ellen and I are good friends kasi magkasama kami sa ‘Bubble Gang’ kaya sana huwag na lang kami gawaan ng intriga as we get along fine,” she says. “Pareho naman kaming may sariling followers so huwag na lang kami pagkumparahin sa isa't isa.”
Sam is happy that 2012 started well for her. She is in GMA-7’s new primetime soap, “Legacy”, where she plays a model-endorser for Tala Soap, made by the company owned by Lovi Poe’s family. Her character will be the victim of character assassination and will get involved in a scandal. She’s also in Viva Films’ first offering for the new year, “Hitman”, as Cesar Montano’s leading lady.
“It’s nice to be part of a big soap like ‘Legacy’ with a powerhouse cast led by Heart Evangelista, Lovi Poe and Alessandra de Rossi na puro award-winners kaya I welcome working with them as I’m sure marami akong matututuhan sa kanila. Ganun din naman working with Cesar Montano na hindi ko lang leading man sa ‘Hitman’ kundi siya ring director ng movie. I’m thankful to him sa dami ng inputs na binigay niya sa’kin para magampanan ko ng tama ang role ko.”
She plays the daughter of Ricky Davao, a crime lord. “Dahil alam kong masama ang ama ko, I distanced myself from him. I meet Cesar and fall in love, without me knowing na may balak pala siyang gamitin ako against my father kasi gusto niyang maghiganti ditto for killing his family before. Action-packed ang pelikula kaya all those who miss action movies, tiyak na masisiyahan dito. Sana with this, mapansin naman ang acting ko. Tigil muna ko sa pa-sexy-sexy. My goal is to be recognized as a good actress.”
