Vaness Del Moral Sympathizes With Jobless Starstruck 3 Batchmate Iwa Moto

VANESS DEL MORAL belongs to the same Starstruck 3 batch where Jackie Rice won and Iwa Moto was the runnerup. Although she hasn’t done lead roles, she’s just thankful that GMA-7 continues to give her shows, one after the other. “I do supporting roles, kung minsan mabait like in ‘Dwarfina’, ‘Gumapang Ka sa Lusak’, and ‘Futbolilits’, kung minsan salbahe. They say mas effective ako when I’m the kontrabida, like in ‘Basahang Ginto’, ‘Magic Palayok’ and now in ‘Kokak’ na I’m so bad and mean to Sarah Lahbati at gagawin ko ang lahat just to snatch TJ Trinidad away from her,” she says.

What can she say about Iwa moving to TV5? “I think gusto lang niya magtrabaho, kaya lang may contract pa siya sa GMA so hindi niya basta magagawa yun. But I sympathize with her.”h

But it’s Iwa’s fault that her career is in the doldrums since she goes crazy when she’s in love. She was doing ‘Andres de Saya’ then when she had a big fight with her ex-BF right inside GMA. “E, ganun talaga, may mga nagagawa tayo dahil sa pag-ibig.”

It’s common knowledge she’s going steady now with Biboy Ramirez. Has something like that happened to her? “Ay, hindi. Ayoko ng ganun. Tahimik ang lovelife namin. Two years and four months na kami. We’ve travelled together to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. But now, wala siya as he’s entertaining his lolo and lola from Canada.”

In “Kokak”, her character as Elizabeth goes abroad. “Tumakas ako dahil wanted ako sa mga krimeng ginawa ko at ayoko makulong, pero pagbalik ko ng bansa, ganun pa rin, luka-luka, psychotic, maghahasik pa rin ng lagim sa buhay ni Sarah Lahbati as Kara.”

Wouldn’t she like to be launched in a lead role? “Ayoko, takot ako, baka hindi ko kaya. Paano kung walang manood? Happy na ko magkontrabida. Also, nagsosyo kami ni Biboy to produce an indie film, a horror movie called ‘Hantu’ which means ghost in Indonesia. We used mostly theater actors, directed by Joey Paras, with me as assistant director. Sana, mai-release namin sa theatres.”
