Aljur is not busy with a soap now after he played the role of Dayaw in “Amaya”, but he’s busy shooting the movie “Kontrabida Girl” with Rhian Ramos and he also just taped an episode of “Spooky Valentine” entitled “Manibela” where he’s paired with Maxene Magalona.
“I play Ariel, a taxi driver, who’s a single dad to a little girl,” he says. “I do my job of taking passengers wherever they want to go, but one day, I start seeing dead people and worst, I notice the people I’m close to, Maxene Magalona and Tiya Pusit, ignore me like I don’t exist. Only my little daughter can see me.”
He then meets Frank Magalona who plays Jonas, a lost soul, who explains to him that the reason he sees dead people is because he himself is already dead. But there’s a reason why his soul lingers on earth and cannot cross over to the after-life. He has unfinished business and one more mission to perform. “Kung ano yun, ito ang dapat ninyong panoorin sa ‘Spooky Valentine Presents Manibela’ this Saturday after ‘Manny’s Many Prizes’ on GMA-7,” he says.
