WE WERE THERE when Mother Lily Monteverde and daughter Roselle signed up Devon Seron to a movie contract with Regal a couple of months ago and she couldn’t help but cry for the opportunity they gave her. Now, her first movie, “Pwera Usog”, is in the can and about to be shown on March 8.
“Our family is from Cebu at mahirap lang po kami roon,” she says. “When I joined PBB and became 4th placer, nagkaroon ako ng mga trabaho sa ABS-CBN kaya pinaluwas ko na ang family ko rito sa Manila. That was in 2010. Kasabay po ako ni James Reid, na siyang big winner sa batch namin, and for a while, kami ang pinagpapareha. Pero ngayon, ang layo na ng narating niya. Ako naman, kung minsan, may show, kung minsan, wala. E, breadwinner po ako kaya nagpapasalamat ako sa Regal dahil pinagkatiwalaan nila ako at binigyan nila ng trabaho. Nagdarasal po talaga akong sana kumita nang husto itong ‘Pwera Usog’ para mas mabigyan pa nila ako ng maraming assignments.”
In “Pwera Usog”, she plays the pivotal role of Luna, a taong graza on whom the barkada of Sofia Andres and company play a deadly prank, leading to some terrifying complications when Devon get possessed by the evil enchantress, Catalina, played by Eula Valdes. “Ako po yung mananakot dito sa kanilang lahat. Bale si Kiko Estrada po ang kapareha ko rito kasi sa kanilang lahat, siya lang ang tumutulong sa akin. Kung enjoy po kayong manood ng horror movies, tiyak na masisiyahan kayo rito, opening on March 8.”
