Sheena Halili Won't Reveal Details Of Her Talk With Rocco Nacino: 'You Ask Him, Not Me.'

UNLIKE BEFORE when she was hostile to ex-BF Rocco Nacino, Sheena Halili says they’re now more cordial to each other. It’s common knowledge that it’s Rocco who decided to end their relationship (which they were then hiding from the public) since he’s so career-driven and thinks having a love life is just an obstruction to one’s ambitions.

“Nagkita kami sa taping ng ‘Bubble Gang’ the other mOnday at siyang unang nag-hi, so nag-hi rin ako,” she reveals. “Very casual lang yung pagbabati namin. Ang importante, wala na kaming awkward feelings sa isa’t isa.”

So would she say she has moved on? “Oo naman. Move on na tayo.” Did they talk about their past? “Kung anuman yung napag-usapan namin, I’d rather siya na lang ang magsalita kasi siyang lalaki. To begin with, siya naman ang nagsalita about us. Ako, talagang I just kept quiet about it all the time dahil wala naman kaming inaamin ever since. So, kung may gusto kayong malaman, siya na lang ang tanungin nyo.”

She now plays the mother of the new child discovery of GMA-7 to be introduced in “Binoy Henyo”, David Remo, 6 years old.

Doesn’t she mind playing a mother role? “Okay lang naman. 26 na ako, puede na niya ko talaga maging ina. At saka gusto ko yung story, very inspiring and wholesome, kaya tinanggap ko na agad. Bale itong follow up ko sa ‘Indio’ na nakatanggap ako ng maraming positive feedback sa role ko as Mayang. Very challenging ang role ko rito as a probinsiyanang no read, no write at nabuntis ng isang taga-Manila, si Luis Alandy. Lumuwas ako ng Manila to look for him, naging tindera ako ng ukay-ukay, pero ni hindi ako marunong magsukli ng tama.”

So how is David as a co-star? “Ay, hyper. Sobrang kulit sa set like Jillian Ward. Lagi siyang maraming tanong kaya kailangan habaan ang pasensiya. Buti na lang, mahilig ako sa mga bata kaya okay lang. Pero magaling siya. Tiyak na magigiliw ang viewers sa kanya. Abangan nyo pag nag-start na mag-air ang ‘Binoy Henyo on July 22 before ’24 Oras’. Kasama namin dito sina Rich Asuncion as Devon’s teacher, Frencheska Farr, Ervic Vijandre at si Tita Nova Villa”.

Incidentally, GMA folks are on an upbeat mood since AGB Nielsen ratings say their three primetime soaps “Anna Karenina”, “Mundo Mo’y Akin” and “My Husband’s Lover” are all topping the ratings in their respective slots, with “Mundo Mo’y Akin” as number one. This must be the reason why “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” was reprogrammed and moved upward and “Muling Buksan ang Puso” is now taking its former time slot. “Muling Buksan” will now be up against “Mundo Mo’y Akin” while “Huwag Ka Lang” will be competing with “My Husband’s Lover”.
