Marvin Agustin-Jolina Magdangal Will Do Bed Scenes In The Wenn Deramas Soap, 'Flor De Liza', Where They Are Reunited

ABS-CBN HOSTED a special presscon just to officially announce that Marvin Agustin and Jolina Magdangal are officially back with them to do the new soap, “Flor de Liza”. This will be helmed by Wenn Deramas who said the project was developed and given the green light in a very fast manner. “Pinatawag lang ako ng ABS bosses sa isang board meeting at nagkuwento lang ako ng story na gusto ko. Ayun, approved agad,” he says. “Ang first draft ng script ni Keiko Aquino, approved din agad. In less than a week, nag-casting na. Sabi sa’kin ni Linggit Tan, they like Marvin-Jolina, kasi napanaginipan daw ni Lauren Dyogi. Approved ako agad. I miss Jolina after directing her in ‘Kung Ikaw ay Isang Panaginip’. Very professional, laging on time, napakagaan katrabaho. Si Marvin naman, kadidirek ko lang sa ‘Moron 5. 2, The Transformation’. Naidirek ko na sila before individually, pero as a love team, ngayon pa lang kami magkakasama. Year 1990 ako dumating sa ABS kaya nasaksihan ko talaga ang pagsisimula ng careers nila. Favorite Marvin-Jolina movie ko is ‘Lab Ko si Babes’. Kung noon, pa-cute sila at for kilig-kilig lang, ngayon, nag-level up na sila dahil more mature drama ang gagawin nila rito sa ‘Flor de Liza’. Gagawa sila ng mga eksenang di pa nila nagawa noon dahil pa-wholesome lang sila. Ngayon, magbe-bed scene na sila.”

What is the story all about? “First of all, I want to clarify na hindi ito yung papalit daw na show sa ‘Be Careful with My Heart’. We are aiming for primetime. Hindi rin ito remake ng movie ni Janice de Belen with the late Julie Vega, gaya ng napabalita. Kahit yung title, magkaiba. Kasi yung sa kanila, one word lang. Sa amin, magkahiwalay. Ibang-iba rin ang story. It’s about two women, si Jolina and Desiree del Valle, and their daughters, Florida or Flor and Elizabeth or Liza. Flor will be played by child star Ashley Sarmiento and Liza by Rhed Bustamante na isa sa mga bata sa ‘Maria Leonora Teresa’. Kasama rin sa cast sina Tetchie Agbayani, Elizabeth Oropesa, Carlo Aquino, Juan Rodrigo, Lemuel Pelayo, Atak at Juan Rodrigo.”

Wenn is really the busiest director today. He has “Flor de Liza” on TV. On the big screen, his “Moron 5.2” starts showing in theatres today and he’s also busy shooting “Praybeyt Benjamin 2” for the Metro Manila Filmfest.
