“Oo naman,” she says. “Mga four years nang straight ang takbo ng utak ko. Nag-mature na rin at di gaya ng dati na pag na-in love ako, naaapektuhan pati ang career ko. That time din kasi, parang na-burn out ako dahil sa dami ng ginagawa ko. Sobrang busy talaga dahil may TV, may movies, may live shows ako. Ang dating ko, nagluluka-lukahan ako, maldita, pero ang totoo, ngarag-ngarag na ako, di ko na kaya, so ako na lang muna ang kumalas.”
She used to be managed by Jun Nardo, who dropped her when she became problematic. “Sa ngayon, wala akong manager. I’m on my own. So far, okay naman. Isinama ako ni Mamu Andrew de Real sa ‘Sunday PinaSaya’ and he revived my character in ‘Eat Bulaga’, si Chuchay. Tapos ngayon, napasama ko rito sa ‘Laff Camera Action’, so sana magtuloy-tuloy.”
“Laff Camera Action” is a competition between two groups of three performers each who’ll be tasked to do improvisational comedy. There will be two rounds. In Round 1, they will be asked to do a comic situation instantly. In Round 2, a special guest performer will join each team in acting out two different comic situations. The hosts are Betong Sumaya and Sheena Halili. The judges are Gladys, young comedian Sef Cadayona and veteran comedy writer-director Cesar Cosme. So how is it working with these people?
“Masaya, nag-click kami agad,” says Gladys. “Nag-taping na kami and nakakatawa ang show. Kami mismo, tawa nang tawa while doing it. I’m sure viewers will enjoy watching us.”
So does she have a new lovelife? “Meron, non-showbiz. Magkasosyo kami sa negosyong car wash at marami na kaming branches hanggang sa mga probinsiya.”
