Direk Joel Lamangan On Why His 'Pamilya Roces' Cannot Lick 'Halik' In The Ratings Game

DIREK JOEL LAMANGAN says ‘Pamilya Roces’ is ending this Friday. “Ang usapan talaga is for ten weeks,” he says. “Kapag nag-hit, then we’ll be extended. So now, on our 10th week, ending na kami kasi di namin matalo yung ‘Halik’ sa kabila. But I enjoyed doing this show. Ang ganda ng concept of a man having three different families na hindi magkasundo-sundo.”

He enjoyed working with the female cast. “Magaling talaga lahat yung mga babae, from Gloria Diaz to the youngest members of the female cast. Dinagdag pa si Katrina Halili na talaga namang napakahusay. Bilib ako. Lahat ng pinagawa ko, walang kiyeme, ginagawa agad. Sabi ko, maghubad ka, kasi ang sesexy nung nasa kabila, hubad agad, naka-bra at panty. Sabi ko, makipaglaplapan ka kay Roi Vinzon, ginawa rin. She’s an instinctive actress. I want to work with her again. Pati si Jasmine Curtis Smith na napakahusay rin. Isa pang puedeng pambida sa kanila, si Max Collins na nakatrabaho ko as the young Gloria Romero in ‘Rainbow’s Sunset’, napakaganda na, napakagaling pa.”

He thinks what GMA really lacks are more dynamic leading men. “Hindi sa minamaliit ko yung mga lalaking artista namin sa ‘Pamilya Roces’ but, let’s face it, ang katapat nila sa kabila, sina Jericho Rosales at Sam Milby, so anong laban doon nina Rocco Nacino at Manolo Pedroza at ni Andre Paras na ginagaya ang acting ng ama niya? GMA-7 really needs to develop more actors na leading man talaga ang dating. Yung powerful ang screen presence at attractive sa masa. Sa babae, maraming magaling sa kanila. It’s their male talents that they should develop and cultivate more para may panlaban sila.”
