Dina Bonnevie & Snooky Serna, As Moms Of Lovi Poe & Erich Gonzales In 'The Significant Other', Also Have Their Own Realistic Slapping Scene

DINA BONNEVIE plays the mother of Lovi Poe while Snooky Serna is the mom of Erich Gonzales in the love triangle drama, “The Significant Other”. Dina and Snooky are original Regal Babies who co-starred in the1980 hit, “Underage”. In “The Significant Other”, Lovi and Erich have a violent slapping scene, and so did Dina and Snooky.

“Yung sampalan namin, naganap sa banyo nang magtagpo kami roon,” says Dina. “Sabi ni Direk Joel Lamangan sa’kin, Dina, totohanin mo, ha. So I told Cookie, o ayan, totohanin daw. And she told me naman, naku, Ate, nate-tense ako, please lang, hinaan mo. So we did it, hininaan ko, then Direk Joel shouted, you’re faking it. Ulitin nyo. So inulit, ang ending, mas malakas ang sampal ni Cookie sa akin, ha.”

“Naku, I have so much love and respect for the one and only Dina Bonnevie,” Snooky says in turn. “She’s beauty and brains, napakagaling na artista. The truth is nase-senti akong makasama siya kasi I remember our ‘Underage’ days na ako ang baby nila at Ate ko siya. Dins, wag ka nang magalit sa akin, sorry. Sobrang lakas ba talaga?”

“Malakas, pero okay lang,” says Dina. “We’re actresses, so part lang ng trabaho natin.”

One line in the movie that registered well in the trailer was Lovi telling Erich: “Huwag mong bigyan ng katwiran ang kalandian mo!” Have they ever told this to anyone?

“Ako, wala akong nasabihan ng ganyan, hindi ako umabot sa mga ganyang eksena,” says Snooky.

“Ako rin, hindi,” says Dina. “Kasi Tagalog yan, e. Alam nyo naman, Inglisera ako. But for me, if the guy is taken, don’t give the excuse na ‘nagmahal lang ako, wala akong ginawang mali.’ That’s a lot of BS. Kung may nababalitaan akong may other woman ang partner ko, I never stoop to their level. The worst thing I did is when I learned the other girl was there having dinner with him, I bought a new dress and just walked in and said, ‘Hi, I’m sorry I’m late for our date’. Naloka yung girl kasi may date pala kami, tapos nandun siya. Wala lang. Pagkatapos kong umeksena, tumalikod ako’t umalis na. There are many other instances in my life where I could have been involved in a catfight with the other woman, but never talaga akong bumaba sa level nila. I believe I have so much class, I’m beautiful, educated, so I’ll never stoop to their level.”

“The Significant Other” will have its premiere night this Tuesday at Trinoma and opens in theaters this coming Wednesday, February 21.
