“Three years na kami and as of now, very smooth na ang lahat,” she says. “We know each other better kaya wala nang mga away-away like before.”
Have they talked about getting married? “Yes, napag-usapan na namin, but there is nothing final. If you’d ask me, I want a very simple wedding, nothing grand, flashy or extravagant.”
Is she now in good terms with his four kids: Danica and Oyo, Vico and Paulina? “Oh yes. We’re okay. We respect each other. When he celebrated his 61st birthday recently, I was the one who arranged the whole trip for them. Expensive, huh! Then when they returned here, kami naman ni Vic, we had a simple dinner together. Ganun lang naman kami. Masaya na sa kain-kain together.”
Is it okay for her that she plays another villain role in “The Rich Man’s Daughter”? “Okay naman. I’m just happy na back in primetime ako. Kasi laging afternoon soaps ang sinasalihan ko lately, like yung huli na ‘The Borrowed Wife’ na last year pa. Kami ni TJ Trinidad ang magkasama roon and we’re together again in ‘Rich Man’s Daughter’. Siya ang eldest son sa family nila and I’m his wife. Arranged marriage yung sa amin. Hindi ko alam, ang true love niya is a teacher, si Charee Pineda. Naiinis ako rito kay Rhian Ramos kasi siya ang youngest child sa family nila, and yet parang siya yung mas paborito ng parents nilang sina Al Tantay and Glydel Mercado, not TJ na siyang panganay. Siempre, tuwang-tuwa ako nang mabistong si Rhian pala has a lesbian affair with Glaiza de Castro kasi discredited na siya sa family nila.”
