SHE’S BETTER known as the ex-wife of Paolo Contis, but former EB Babe Lian Paz is determined to make it on her own as an actress this time. She’s grateful to GMA-7 for casting her in the new 6 PM soap, “Prinsesa ng Buhay Ko”, that starts on Monday to replace “Binoy Henyo”.
“I play Marco Alcaraz’ ambisyosang girlfriend, si Violet,” she says. “May pagkakontrabida ang role kaya challenging. Napakaganda ng break na itong ibinigay nila sa akin kaya pinaghandaan ko ito. Nagpapayat ako nang husto kasi sexy dancer ako rito sa isang club at mahuhumaling sa’kin si Marco. Kukumbinsihin ko naman siyang gamitin ang kapatid niya, si Kris Bernal, para magkapera kami.”
Did she ask Paolo’s permission to be active again in showbiz? “No need. Friends naman na kami ngayon. Tapos na yung time na magkagalit kami. Na-appreciate ko nga yung nanatili siyang tahimik habang ako, nagsasalita. Hindi niya ko pinatulan. But now, nag-uusap kami for the sake of our two children.”
Is there a possibility of reconciliation between them? “Hindi natin masasabi what will happen in the future. Nasa tadhana yan. But as of now, may nanliligaw sa’kin, businessman from Cebu, pero siempre, marami kong fears kasi may dalawa na kong anak. Kailangan matanggap niyang buo hindi lang ako kundi pati mga anak ko.”
As a former EB Babe, what can she say about the Willy Bayola sex video scandal with EB Babe Yosh? “Very close ako kay Kuya Wally nung nasa ‘Eat Bulaga’ pa ko kaya nalungkot ako kasi alam ko how much he loves ang family niya, lalo mga anak niya. Maski yung ibang members naman, very disappointed sila kay Yosh. First time kasing na-involved ang EB Babes sa ganyang malaking issue at hindi maganda ang reflection para sa kanilang lahat.”
