Rochelle Pangilinan Says It's A Dream Come True For Her To Work With Nora Aunor In GMA's New Primetime Drama Series, 'Onanay'

ROCHELLE PANGILINAN, aka Mrs. Arthur Solinap, is thrilled to be given the chance to work with Nora Aunor in the new GMA-7 teleserye that starts August 6, “Onanay”. “Dream come true ito for me,” she says. “Noong una kaming magkasama sa set, sinabi ko talaga sa kanyang avid fan niya ako. Natulala ako noong una kaming magka-eksena. I can’t believe si Nora Aunor ang kasama ko. For the first time, I asked someone to record ang eksenang kinunan sa amin na prusisyon sa kalye.”

In the story, Nora is Nelia, the mother of newcomer Jo Berry who plays Onay. “Ako naman yung best friend ni Onay na lagi siyang ipinagtatanggol kapag may umaapi sa kanya, kaya marami kaming eksenang magkasama ni Ate Guy. Napaka-friendly niya. I really look forward sa tapings namin kasi gustong-gusto kong nakikinig ng stories tungkol sa buhay niya, sa experiences niya sa showbiz.”

This is her first regular teleserye after her wedding to Arthur. As usual with other newlyweds, people seem to be rushing them to have their own baby. “Ewan ko nga ba kung bakit parang sila ang naiinip for us. E, kami naman, hindi nagmamadali. Basta we’ll just wait for our baby na darating naman in God’s own perfect time. Kung mabubuntis ako, I’m sure, bigay ni God yun. So hihintayin na lang namin yun and we don’t want to pressure ourselves.”
