Why Katrina Halili Prefers Doing Transerye 'Destiny Rose' To Tomboyserye 'Rich Man's Daughter'

KATRINA HALILI is grateful to GMA-7 that right after her participation in “The Rich Man’s Daughter”, she was immediately cast in the new afternoon soap, “Destiny Rose”. “Nakakatuwa nga kasi yung una, tungkol sa lesbian relationship at itong ‘Destiny Rose’ naman is about a transwoman,” she says. “Mas feel ko itong ‘Destiny Rose’ dahil tungkol sa kabadingan. Mas bakla kasi ang buhay ko, e. Hindi pa ako ganun ka-ready sa katomboyan. Ha ha ha!”

How does she feel about transgenders who look like a real woman? “I’m really amazed, wow! ang ganda. Kasi ang gaganda nila talaga. Natutuwa ako sa kanila, but I don’t feel insecure. Meron yata akong wala sa kanila. Ha-ha-ha! Puede silang magpalagay pero yung sa’kin, original.”

In “Destiny Rose”, she plays Jasmine, the cousin of Ken Chan as Destiny Rose. “Kontrabida ako sa kanya rito. Aagawin ko sa kanya yung boyfriend niya. Pero kahit maldita ako rito, hindi maiinis sa’kin ang viewers kasi comedy ang approach sa mga eksena ko, e. Ngayon pa lang ako magkokontrabida na matatawa sa akin ang viewers.”

Does she think Ken Chan is good as Destiny Rose? “Oo naman. I’m happy for him na nabigyan siya ng ganitong break. He’s very good, very credible as Destiny Rose. Gandang-ganda nga ako sa kanya kapag naka-girl outfit na siya. Kamukha siya ni Cristine Reyes.”

So has she found a new love after breaking up with Kris Lawrence who’s now with ABS? “No, wala, hindi naman ako naghahanap. Pero kung may darating na galing kay Lord at handang mahalin ako pati ang anak kong si Katie, tatanggapin ko. I’m lifting everything up kay Lord.”
