“It’s not an issue,” she says. “But out of courtesy, I informed muna si Juday kung okay lang sa kanya through my manager, Noel Ferrer, at umokay naman siya. I really want to thank her na binigyan niya ako ng basbas na gawin ito. Napakaganda ng role and I feel so blessed na sa akin napunta. Magiging choosy pa ba ako? It doesn’t matter kung second or third or whatever choice man ako. Ang importante, sa’kin napunta ang role and I’m really thankful na it gave me the chance to work with Direk Wenn Deramas in a movie after we did a teleserye kasi napakasarap katrabaho ni Direk Wenn. Laging masaya sa set kahit horror pa ang ginagawa namin.”
Didn’t her BF Ben Wintle get jealous when Piolo Pascual became her date at the recent Star Magic Ball? “No. Sinabi ko naman sa kanya. At hindi naman yun seloso. Alam niyang magkapareha kami ni Piolo in ‘Hawak Kamay’ kaya when Papa P learned na wala akong date sa Star Magic Ball, okay agad sa kanyang kami ang sabay na pumunta roon.”
She’s thankful that she’s busy doing one project after another these days. “I want to thank God and also ABS-CBN for the wonderful opportunities coming my way. It’s bittersweet kasi I think kung buhay ang daddy ko, sobrang saya niya kung nasaan ako ngayon. Sayang lang wala na siya. But I guess this is part of how he’s guiding me, making sure that I’m doing great. Ramdam na ramdam ko ‘yung presence niya sa buhay ko. So, kahit sobrang nami-miss ko man siya, alam kong masaya siya para sa akin.”
