“Kahit wala akong regular show, nagkaroon naman ako ng guestings sa ‘Magpakailanman’, ‘Wagas’, ‘Dear Uge’, ‘Karelasyon’, and I had extended guest roles in ‘Marimar’ and ‘Poor Senorita’, so hindi naman ako nabakante,” she says. “Tapos, I won best actress awards pa in Russia and Urian for ‘Anino sa Likod ng Buwan’. At itong role ko as Angeli in ‘Pinulot Ka Lang sa Lupa’, it’s worth the wait naman kasi challenging talaga siya and I get to work again with Direk Gina Alajar na siya ring director ko in ‘Yagit’.”
Ara Mina plays her mom in ‘Pinulot Ka Lang sa Lupa’. How did she feel when Ara ranted against the show in social media and threatened to leave it? “Wala akong alam kasi nasa States ako noon. Hindi ko naman nabasa what she posted. Nagulat na lang ako pag-uwi ko, may ganun palang issue. Marami na kaming na-tape na eksena, e. Sayang naman kung ayaw na niya. At enjoy naman akong katrabaho siya. Friend ko rin ang sister niyang si Cristine, so sana nga, maayos na para makapag-resume na siya ng taping.”
About her lovelife, it’s common knowledge she and Paulo Contis are now together. Do they have plans to walk down the aisle? “As of now, wala, marami pang kailangang ayusin.”
How about her son Aki’s dad, Paulo Avelino, does he visit their boy regularly? “No. Busy siya, e.”
Does Aki look for his dad? “Siempre. Alam naman niya kung sino ang father niya, so hinahanap niya. Nakikita naman niya, sa TV.”
She gave a very daring performance in “Anino sa Likod ng Buwan”. But we heard she now refuses to go sexy again. How true? “Yes, ang laki na kasi ng anak ko. Ayoko namang ma-call pa niya attention ko.”
