What does she think is the reason why GMA didn’t renew her contract? “I don’t know. Siguro dahil marami akong limitations. Ayoko ng kissing and love scenes, ayoko mag-daring, hanggang acting lang ako, hindi ako marunong mag-sing or dance, hindi rin ako managed ng GMA Artist Center but by Direk Manny Valera. But in every assignment I get, I really give my best, my all. Wala naman akong tinatanggihang role, naging nanay na nga ako. Pero naniniwala akong may ibang plan si Lord para sa akin and I should not doubt Him.”
We heard Direk Manny has arranged for her to transfer to TV5, where her BF Alwyn Uytingco is a contract star. “I don’t know. Sabi ko, bahala na sila, kasi ninenerbiyos lang ako. I told them sabihin na lang sa’kin kapag final na. But sana, kunin pa rin ako ng GMA.”
Moving to TV5 would give her the chance to work with Alwyn. “Oo nga. That would be nice.”
They’ve been on for sometime. Any wedding plans? “Ay, wala. Ni hindi namin napag-uusapan. Mauna muna ang mama ko (Jean Garcia.)”
So what will happen to Aliyah, her character in “Carmela”? “Kinilala na akong anak ng father ko, si Raymond Bagatsing, at ipakikitang may masasaya kaming bonding moments. Pero galit sa akin ang girlfriend niya, si Rochelle Pangilinan as Yolly, kasi kumampi ako kay Marian Rivera as Carmela. Aawayin ako at si Marian. Abangan nyo kasi mas gumaganda ang kuwento kaya number one na kami sa primetime according to AGB Nielsen Surveys.”
