Gutierrez Family Has Forgiven Pokwang For Spoofing Raymond Gutierrez Before In Her Show

HOW DID RUFFA Gutierrez react when Mother Lily offered her to act with Pokwang in Regal’s special Mother’s Day presentation, the horror comedy “The Mommy Returns”? It’s common knowledge Pokwang once had a conflict with the Gutierrez Family when she spoofed Raymond in a show, making mom Annabelle angry. Ruffa says this is now water under the bridge and Annabelle is even amused when she sees Pokwang impersonating her on the set of “The Mommy Returns”.

“Okay na sila ni Mommy and ako mismo, natutuwang kasama si Pokwang sa set kasi pinatatawa niya kami ng cast in between takes,” says Ruffa. “Kapag ginagaya niya si Mommy, hindi lang ako ang aliw na aliw kundi pati si Mommy rin, talagang nage-enjoy sa kanya. If you won’t look at her and just listen to her talk, aakalain mo talaga si Mommy ang nagsasalita. But although masaya kami off cam, on cam, magkaaway kami rito ni Pokwang kahit na nga multo pa ang role niya rito. Kasi, kahit patay na siya, nakikialam pa rin siya sa buhay namin ng former husband niyang si Gabby Concepcion at ang mga anak nila. Talakan talaga kami sa eksena at di ako natatakot sa multo.”

Aside from Pokwang, another actress in the cast also had a tiff with Annabelle, Gloria Diaz. “Pero tapos na rin yun, naayos na namin ang lahat. It’s just a simple case of misunderstanding. Alam ni Mommy that I enjoy working with Tita Gloria kasi she’s full of words of wisdom about love, life and men. Never ending ang chikahan namin sa set.”

Ruffa is glad to be reunited with Gabby. “He’s my leading man in the only movie I did directed by the great Lino Brocka, ‘Makiusap Ka sa Diyos’, for which I got nominated as best actress. I played a good girl who wants to be a nun at siya yung devil who tempted me.”
