LOVI POE opted to celebrate her late dad FPJ’s birthday on August 20 by spending it with the street children aided by the ChildHope Foundation located in Paco. She’s been helping the wards in ChildHope for the past six years. “Sana nga, gusto ko silang ilabas sa isang park, kaya lang kulang ako sa oras, lalo ngayong very busy ako sa taping ng ‘Beautiful Strangers’,” she says. “Gusto ko yung goal ng ChildHope to help educate street children for their own future. Parang itinutuloy ko lang ang charity works na sinimulan ng father ko kasi ugali niya talaga to help the poor and the needy, so heto, birthday niya at itinutuloy ko lang what he has started when he was still with us.”
It’s common knowledge that she and Marian Rivera had a falling out after they did the movie “Temptation Island”. But in a recent showbiz event, she took the initiative and approached Marian and kissed her. How was it? Didn’t Heart Evangelista, her best friend who’s still at odds with Marian, feel bad about it? “Not at all. She’s just fine with it. Ako talaga, I’m praying na maging happy na lang ang lahat. I mean, we’re all working in the same network, kaya it’s important na maging maayos ang relationship ng lahat. We’re all praying for the best.”
Does she believe things can still be patched up between Marian and Heart after all the negative things that have been said and done? “Of course, it’s very possible. After all, they’re both good people, so I’m positive na maaayos din yan in God’s own time.”
As of now, she’s just very happy that her show with Heart, “Beautiful Strangers”, is very well received by the viewing public and her acting as Joyce, the ill-fated girl who became a taong grasa after she lost her baby due to a rape attempt on her, is eliciting good reviews. “Nakakatuwa talaga dahil nagugustuhan ng mga tao. So huwag kayong makakalimot every night kasi marami pang pasabog na mangyayari in the story. Tutulungan ako ni Heart dahil maaawa siyang taong grasa ako and I will save her life naman when someone tries to harm her. She will try her best para ipagamot ako at bumalik ang katinuan ko but later on, kami ang magiging magkaaway. Abangan nyo lahat ng intriguing twists na ito.”
