But more than anybody else, she’d like to thank Piolo. “Higit sa lahat talaga, thank you kay Papa P kasi tinanggap niya akong kapareha gayong he could have requested for a more big name leading lady. He was very patient with me kasi noong una, tawa lang ako nang tawa. Sabi niya, puro ka tawa, puro ka giggle, ang laki ng gastos ng Regal dito sa New Zealand, magtrabaho na tayo. Tuwing umaga, nagpapauna ako sa service bus namin from our hotel to the location site, kasi gusto kong nakikita siyang lumalabas from the hotel at lumalakad papunta sa sasakyan namin. Kinikilig talaga ako. Feeling ko, slow motion ang lakad niya at may background music pa, napapabuntunghininga talaga ako at di makapaniwala na ako ang katambal niya.”
And how was she when they did their love scene in the movie? “Kinakabahan siempre. Pero excited. But naitawid naman namin nang maayos. He was such a gentleman at take one lang lahat.”
Direk Dondon Santos says Yen impressed everyone. “Lahat kami, nagustuhan ang acting niya. Very raw, very natural, but she succeeds in delivering all the emotions required of her. Tiyak, masusundan pa itong pelikula niyang ito.”
She dismisses rumors she and Direk Dondon are in a relationship that's why the director got her to star in "Northern Lights". "Married na po siya at na-meet ko na po yung wife niya, writer sa ABS-CBN. Hindi ko na lang pinapansin ang mga tsismis about me. May tsismis ngang kabit daw ako ng politiko at may anak na ako, na hindi rin naman totoo. Kung kabit ako ng politiko, bakit pa ko magpapakahirap sa showbiz, di ba?
