“Masuwerte ako this year dahil marami akong ginawang movies,” she says. “Isa na yung ‘Kamkam’ with Direk Joel Lamangan na nanalo pang best picture sa Harlem Filmfest in New York. Akong very protective mother doon ng babaerong si Allen Dizon. Naging active din ako sa TV as the psychotic mother ni Marvin Agustin in ‘Obsession’ ng TV5. Now, kasama ako sa ‘Flordeliza’ ng ABS-CBN ni Jolina Magdangal. Nagte-taping na kami at ipalalabas early 2015.”
What’s her role in “Maratabat”? “I play the wife of a politician in Mindanao. Napatay ang husband ko ng kanyang mga kalaban sa politika, led by Julio Diaz. Anak namin si Ping Medina, who’s convinced by the people to run against Julio and his family na sobra na ang abuses sa province namin. Dahil doon, manganganib ang buhay naming lahat. This was shot on location in Maguindanao kunsaan may clan wars talagang nagaganap. At first, may nagsabi sa’king wag tanggapin ang movie kasi baka manganib lang kaming magus-shoot doon. But I really like my role and, in all fairness, very warm ang Muslim brothers na nakasama doon at wala kaming naging anumang problema sa security.”
What’s her role in “Kubot”? “Ako yung title role as the Kubot, babaeng aswang na may mahabang-mahabang buhok na nagiging parang tentacles na siyang ginagamit ko para patayin ang mga kalaban ko. Sa first movie na ‘Tiktik’, ang husband kong si Roi Vinzon, pinatay ni Dingdong Dantes. This time, ako naman as Roi’s wife ang maghihiganti at makakalaban ni Dingdong. Abangan nyo ang sagupaan namin at ng iba pang aswang fighters dahil exciting at action-filled talaga. Very proud ako sa special effects ng pelikulang ito dahil parang Hollywood ang dating.”
