Cristine Reyes Not Bothered By Tags That She's A Bad Girl, A Playgirl

CRISTINE REYES is beaming over the positive feedback she's getting for her portrayal of Jake Cuenca's neglected wife who falls for the charms of married man Gabby Concepcion in "When the Love is Gone". After the preview at Gateway last Friday, writers who've seen it are gushing at not only how sexy she is on screen (especially in her provocative love scenes with Gabby) but also in the dramatic confrontation scenes she had with Alice Dixson as Gabby's wronged wife and Andi Eigenmann as Gabby's angry daughter.
In real life, Cristine is branded as a playgirl because she has had so many boyfriends (Mark Herras, Dennis Trillo, Rayver Cruz, Derek Ramsay among them) but she says she never had simultaneous boyfriends.

"Never ko naman silang pinagsabay-sabay," she protests. "Matatawag lang akong girlfriend kung nakikipag-steady ako sa kanila without breaking up from the previous one. Some people are even calling me a bad girl but my conscience is clear. Minahal ko naman silang lahat. Let's just say na astig kasi ang dating ko. Hindi basta paaagrabiyado kahit kanino."

She's glad that after "Bukas na Lang Kita Mamahalin", she's added into the cast of the ABS-CBN soap, "Honesto", and she now plays a good girl role as a nurse who gets involved with Paulo Avelino and his son, Honesto.

"Wholesome ang show, puede sa bata, wala akong sexy scenes na gaya sa movies na ginagawa ko, kaya siempre, natutuwa ako dahil harmless ang role ko, for a change. Yun namang pagiging daring ko as Gabby's other woman in 'When Love is Gone', it's just a role. At basta I just obeyed ang mga pinagagawa sa akin ni Direk Andoy Ranay in keeping sa character na ginagampanan ko. The sexy scenes are wild, on the edge nga raw, so sige, pagbigyan natin, and I'm glad na lahat ng nakapanood, natutuwa naman sila dahil nabigyan ko ng justice lahat ng mga eksena ko sa movie."
