Director Ricky Davao Helmed Sarah Lahbati In 'Kokak' & Can'T Believe She'S Misbehaving

ACTOR-DIRECTOR Ricky Davao also feels bad about what happened to Sarah Lahbati and GMA-7. He’s now helming “Forever” starring Heart Evangelista, Geoff Eigenman and Gloria Romero that starts airing tomorrow after “Eat Bulaga”.

“Akong director ni Sarah sa launching show niya, ‘Kokak’ at sa first primetime show niyang ‘Makapiling Kang Muli’ kunsaan sila nagkakilala ni Richard Gutierrez,” says Ricky. “Hindi ako makapaniwala sa nangyari sa kanila ng GMA kasi ang bait-bait niya, very professional, masunurin, never akong binigyan ng problema, di mareklamo. But now, all of a sudden, ang dami pala niyang complaints sa GMA. Nanghihinayang lang ako kasi GMA is grooming her to be a big star. I’m sure magkakaroon ng negative effect sa career niya ang nangyayaring ito. Sana maayos pa ang lahat.”

He’s happy to direct Gloria Romero once again. “We did ‘Munting Heredera’ and ‘Makapiling Kang Muli’ together and it’s always good to work with a veteran actress like her na kasabayan ng late dad ko sa Sampaguita Pictures (Charlie Davao). Malaki ang role niya rito as the older version of Heart Evangelista at ang galing-galing nilang dalawa as the younger and older Adora. Kapag singhusay nila ang mga artista, along with Geoff Eigenmann, your work as a director becomes easier.”
