She was in India studying jewelry design in Mumbai when she got the offer to do the movie. “Next year kasi, my sister and I are opening an online boutique selling our own jewelry and bags, and later, our own clothing line, so I went to India to study kasi they have the best jewelry design school there, GIA, the Gemological Institute. But siempre, I couldn’t resist the offer of BG Productions na ‘Siphayo’ kasi launching movie and si Joel Lamangan pa ang director. I’ve previously done a movie with them, ‘Balatkayo’, with Aiko Melendez and Polo Ravales, na maganda rin, with me as the mistress of Polo and we shot on location in Dubai. May love scene din kami but very mild compared to what I did in ‘Siphayo’. So ayun, umuwi ako from India and I thought prepared na ako to go daring, but when we were shooting my first love scene in the movie, with Luis Alandy, biglang ninerbiyos ako nang husto nang hinahawakan na ang katawan ko. First time ko kasi gumawa ng ganun, e. Nagkulong ako sa CR and I called my manager, si Leo Dominguez, then pumasok si Direk Joel at tinalakan ako. I realized nag-commit ako sa movie so kumalma rin ako and I did it na lang para matapos na. Nag-all out na ako para wala ng take 2. After that, it was easier to do my next love scenes with Joem and Allan. Iniisip ko na lang na trabaho ito, I’m just playing a role. Yung love scene kay Joem sa maisan, mas grabe. Nakita ko yung naked butt niya. Comedy nga yun kasi sobrang init that time so pawis na pawis ako. Naka-make up ako ng itim kasi they darkened my skin so nung hinahalikan ako ni Joem, nakain niya pati make up ko, pati ang libag ko, kadiri. After the take, I told him, ang asim ng lasa niya and he said mas pangit ang lasa mo kasi pati make up at pawis mo nakain ko. After ‘Siphayo’, I did another daring movie for Cinema One, ‘Tisay’, to be shown next month naman, directed by Borgy Torre. I had love scenes naman with Joel Torre and JC de Vera. It’s easier for me na to do them.”
What will her boyfriend say about her love scenes? “Wala akong boyfriend now. The last one was a Lebanese guy at very conservative sila so I broke up with him while shooting ‘Siphayo’. Maski ang mommy ko, she wants to watch but I said huwag na lang. Kasi very religious siya at kapag nanonood, maingay yun, baka kung anu-ano pang i-comment when she sees my sexy scenes in the movie. I haven’t seen the movie in full yet kasi sabi nila, sa premiere night na lang. But they say the fact that SM allowed to show it with an R16 rating without cuts, it means maganda yung movie and even the MTRCB praised it. I believe kahit sexy, tastefully done naman siya.”
