She plays Sandy, a dutiful wife who accidentally kills herself while cooking in her own kitchen. She’s used to being so devoted to her husband Joel (Jake Macapagal) that, as a ghost, she remains so loyal to him and just waits for him to also die so they can be reunited in the afterlife. While she’s waiting, Sandy discovers she’s no ordinary ghost but has other ghostly abilities.
She playfully haunts her husband. She can turn dark or light, depending on her disposition. Her husband remarries (to Meryl Soriano) and has a son, and Sandy learns to live with them, too. But when Joel finally dies, he vanishes and cannot be found. It dawns on Sandy that her waiting was all in vain so she lets go and moves on from her past life and love, realizing she can still do so much more good in this world even as a spirit, making the movie a celebration of life.

How about rumors that she’s about to walk down the aisle with her Aussie businessman BF, Ben Wintle? “Naku, not true. Hindi pa ako ready. Ang dami pang projects na dumarating para sa akin. Marriage requires 100% commitment at hindi pa ako ready for that and I’m glad he’s very understanding and supportive.”
