“No, I’m not leaving it,” she says. “I’ll be absent every now and then but every time I’m free, you’ll still see me in it. Yung pilot week lang ang ite-tape namin in Coron and the rest will be on a beach nearer to Manila. Tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang training ko sa Mermaid’s Academy. My trainer performs underwater tricks at Manila Ocean Park at yun ang itinuturo niya sa amin, including the boys who play siokoy kasi pati sila, may buntot rin dito made of fitted silicone. Talagang sinukatan kaming isa-isa. And tuloy-tuloy rin ang shooting ko sa ‘The Gifted’ with Sam Milby and Cristine Reyes, a dark comedy written and directed by Chris Martinez. Dapat last year pa ito, but I didn’t have time to shoot kasi I did a lot of shows abroad, so wala ako kahit isang movie last year.”
So she’s with Sam in both her newest TV and movie projects. “Yes, and okay lang kasi we kept our friendship naman. Ang galing na niya talaga ngayong mag-Tagalog. He always talks to me in Tagalog. Talagang kina-career niya.”
Has she visited “Showtime” co-host Vhong Navarro in the hospital? “Yes. Naiyak nga ako. What happened to him is really scary. Napakabait niya so I don’t believe what he’s accused of doing. I’m always praying for him at sana mabigyan siya ng justice.”
She’s now busy recording her new album and she’s planning to hold more concerts here and abroad. “My problem is gumaganda na talaga ang boses ko,” she laughs. “Dati, nakakatawa kasi disintunado, but now, everyone says may improvement na. Nahahasa na siguro. Baka hanapin ng tao yung disintunado ako.”
She and BF Erwan Heussaff seems so cozy. Do they plan to tie the knot soon? “No, siguro when I’m 32. Ayoko namang too late na para mag-baby ako. But as of now, we’re both so busy. He has put up two new restaurant, Pink Panda near A Venue in Makati and Nini Ichinana at The Fort. Sosyo rin sila ng sister niya, si Solenn, in Hatch 22 at Powerplant Mall.”
