“Hindi nga ako makapaniwala when I was told na kasama ko siya sa ‘That’s My Amboy’,” she says. “But madali kaming nagkasundo sa taping kasi mabait na bata si Kiko at very polite. Natatawa nga ako kapag tinatawag niya akong Mommy Donita. Mas guwapo siya sa papa niya kasi mas softer version siya ni Gary.”
Has she seen Gary since then? “No, but I’ve seen his wife Bernadette Allison in an event and I’m really glad that they have a happy married life at okay naman daw ang career ni Gary in politics.”
She’s glad that her role in “That’s My Amboy”, which is rating well since it started its telecast last Monday, is not like that of “Let the Love” where she was a kontrabida. “Naku, ang daming galit na galit sa aking viewers doon dahil kalaban ko si Ai Ai de las Alas at inaapi ko si Gabbi Garcia. At least dito, mabait na mother ako ni Barbie. Dati akong artista in the story na naanakan ni Tonton Gutierrez, a popular actor. Hindi niya pinanagutan ang anak namin at ang stunt man na si John Arcilla ang tumayong ama ni Barbie.”
So how is it working with Barbie? “Ay, enjoy. Buong cast actually, masayang kasama, puro kalog kaya nonstop tawanan kami sa set.”
