Rochelle Pangilinan Confident That 'Tandem' Co-Star Will Be Able To Make Another Showbiz Comeback After His Second Rehab

ROCHELLE PANGILINAN plays contravida to Camille Prats in the afternoon soap “Wish I May” so she’s glad she’s not a villain in her first indie movie, “Tandem”, which opens in theaters on February 17. “I’m really so happy they got me for this movie kasi ibang klase ng experience ang natutuhan ko rito,” she says. “Sa indie film pala, mas realistic, puede ang murahan. E, sa TV soaps, hindi puede, kailangan wholesome. I play Nico Antonio’s pregnant wife na sawa na sa buhay namin kasi alam kong riding in tandem holdaper siya.

 Brother naman niya si JM de Guzman. Napabilib nila ako sa acting nila, sobrang galing, sobrang lalim. Pumapalakpak nga ako when I saw our movie at sobrang nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos that I became a part of it dahil naka-Grade A pa ito from the Cinema Evaluation Board, na ibig sabihin, maganda talaga ito at nagustuhan nila.”

So how does she feel that JM is now in rehab? “Hindi ko nga alam yan, e. I just found out about it dito sa presscon. Siempre, masyado akong nanghihinayang. It’s so sad kasi he’s so talented. I will pray for him na makabangon siya uli at makabalik agad sa showbiz. He deserves it naman.”

What if she’s offered to do sexy scenes in her next indie movie? “Ay, sorry po, hindi ko kaya. I know naging sexy ang image ko dahil sa SexBomb Dancers, pero wala talagang lakas ng loob to do bold and daring scenes, lalo na love scenes. Ipaubaya na lang natin sa iba.”
