Rochelle Pangilinan Postpones Wedding To Fiance Arthur Solinap To Focus On 'Encantadia'

ROCHELLE PANGILINAN is awed that she’s included in Yes Magazine’s list of Most Beautiful Stars and in FHM’s Sexiest Women. “I feel so proud and blessed kasi ang dami-dami naming mapagpipilian, di ba?” she says. “Natanong ko nga, bakit ako pa? But I’m so thankful talaga. Blessings ito for me kasi hindi ko ine-expect, hindi ko hiningi pero kusang dumating sa akin.”

She also feels so fortunate that right after her afternoon soap, “Wish I May”, ended, a new project came right away, “Encantadia”. “Ang saya nga, e, kasi di ako nabakante. Nag-last taping day ako sa ‘Wish I May’, tapos taping ako agad for Direk Mark Reyes sa ‘Encantadia’ na ang ganda ng role ko as Agane, kakaibang kontrabida and very challenging yung role kasi maga-action pa ako. So, disiplina talaga ang kailangan kasi revealing ang costume ko rito so kailangan in good shape lagi. Most of my scenes are with Heneral Luna, si John Arcilla as Hagorn, at ang sarap niyang kaeksena, very intense, maski mag-deliver ng lines. So I’m learning a lot from him.”

She and BF Arthur Solinap has been officially engaged. But there’s talk their wedding has been postponed. What happened? “Wala pa naman talaga kami napiling date, no details yet, kasi inaayos pa namin. E, sa ngayon, focused ako sa ‘Encantadia’, so nagpaalam ako sa kanya na ito muna ang aasikasuhin ko kasi mahirap gawin ito, e. Okay naman sa kanya. Lagi naman siyang very supportive. So baka next year na lang kami magplano.”
