“It’s really meant for her and she even agreed to produce it,” says Adolf. “But then, TV5 didn’t allow her, so isinali ko sa Cinema One at nakuha naman as one of three entries in Category A that’s given a budget of P2 million. Dahil hindi puede si Ate Guy, then we considered other actresses who can do the role at napunta nga ito kay Direk Gina Alajar who’s also very good in it. Wag ng magalit ang Noranians dahil we have to meet the deadline of Cinema One at si Ate Guy naman ang hindi pumuede.”
The role of Lourdes Lagrimas, Mater Dolorosa, is a very challenging one as she’s the female counterpart of Don Vito Corleone in “The Godfather”. She’s the Ma Barker who heads the illegal activities in an old district in Manila. As a crime lord, she’s notorious for doing criminal acts from jueteng and sakla to carnapping and drug trafficking. She faces competition from a man who wants to be the new king of the underworld, Phillip Salvador. Also in the cast are Alessandra de Rossi, Cogie Domingo, Carlo Aquino, Joem Bascon and Mercedes Cabral.
