She says she has had two boyfriends before she joined showbiz but no one got to kiss her. “They’re not as handsome naman as Coco, kaya virgin pa ang lips ko at si Coco ang nakauna sa kanila.”
So how was it? “Yummy, amoy Listerine ang halik niya. But it was a difficult scene for me. Since I have no experience in kissing, I was so nervous. At first, I opened my mouth and just waited for Coco’s kiss. But Direk Jerome said isara ko na lang daw and just let Coco handle the scene. It’s good magaling siya magdala. Kinilig ako. My hair stood on end. Sana nga, kumita ang movie namin para may Part 2 at tuloy ang kissing scenes namin. Joke!”
How did she feel when told she’d do a movie with Coco? “I was so surprised. Sabi ko, hindi pa ako sinusubukan man lang sa TV, sa teleserye, heto’t movie agad! I felt so much pressure. But I’m also very thankful to ABS for giving me this break. In return, I did my best to play my role well at maisabuhay ko nang tama ang character ko na tailor made me for me kasi may pagka-jologs din. With the Lord’s help and all the people working with me, I think naitawid ko naman nang maayos.”
Would she like Coco to be her third boyfriend? “Why not? Pero wag po nating madaliin. One step at a time para di siya mabigla,” she laughs.
How come she’s also rumored to be a tomboy? “Naku, naririnig ko rin po yan. Aminado naman ako, I can be boyish. I’m so makulit kasi, I joke a lot, pero ganun lang po talaga ako as I grew up in a very populated area in Sampaloc kaya street smart ako.Wag na lang nila gawing issue dahil I really prefer boys.”
