RICH ASUNCION doesn’t mind being tagged as a Kapuso Kontrabida. “Ang mahalaga, tuloy-tuloy ang trabaho,” she says. “And I’m happy na right after my kontrabida role in ‘Kambal Sirena’, may kasunod na akong project, ‘Yagit’, where I’ll play another kontrabida role as Odette Patacsil. See, apelyido pa lang, kontrabida na ang dating. Gagawin ko ang lahat dito para agawin si James Blanco kay Yasmien Kurdi kasi I’m after the riches of James and his family.”
She says she’ll miss taping “Kambal Sirena”. Why? Because her ex-BF Aljur Abrenica is the leading man? “No, hindi naman kami magkaeksena kasi tagalupa siya at sirena ako so underwater ang mundo ko. I will miss doing all the under water shots. Naging licensed diver ako dahil sa role ko rito. It’s so serene and quiet sa ilalim ng dagat. Nakaka-relax.”
Is it true Aljur and Louise de los Reyes have a secret relationship now? “Like I said, hindi ko nakikita si Aljur. Si Louise lang ang nakakasama ko sa sirena role niya. Mabait siya and we’re friends, pero hindi ko siya tinatanong about her personal life.”
Rich continues to pursue her college studies in UP where she’s majoring in Tourism. “I’m proud to say I’m a working student at, bukod sa akin, may isa pa akong kapatid who I’m sending to school kaya hindi ko puedeng iwanan ang trabaho ko.”
