LOISA ANDALIO is so happy and excited with the big break she’s getting in Star Cinema’s Valentine offering, “James & Pat & Dave”.
“I’m so thankful po for this blessing kasi hindi lang ito basta starring role kundi title role pa, tapos kami pa ni Ronnie (Alonte) ang magkasama,” she says. “Matagal naming hinintay ang ganitong project and we want to thank Direk Ted Boborol for coming up with a very entertaining romantic-comedy for our launching as a love team on and off cam.”
Loisa started in showbiz when was only 13 as part of a girl group called 3G. At 14, she joined Pinoy Big Brother 2014 as the Darling Housemate from Paranque. Immediately after this, she was paired with co-housemate Joshua Garcia in the afternoon soap “Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita”.
She became a member of two other girl groups, Girl Trends and BFFs. She played supporting roles on TV in “Dear Heart” and “Good Son” and in movies like “Hospicio” (a horror flick where she was nominated as best actress in CInema One Filmfest), “Crazy Beautiful You” and “The Revengers”. Now, she’s being launched to full stardom. What’s her role in “James & Pat & Dave”?
“I play Pat Reyes, probinsyanang assistant manager sa isang hostel sa lugar namin owned by the family of Ronnie who plays James,” she says. “Breadwinner siya para sa family niya at nagtitinda rin siya ng gulay for extra income.
"Yung family ni Ronnie, pinatapon siya sa probinsya namin dahil may ginawa siyang kasalanan sa lungsod, so he has to adjust sa buhay probinsya. Ako yung na-assign to train him sa mga trabaho sa hostel and, sa umpisa, para kaming aso’t pusa na hindi magkasundo.
"But then, I had to ask him to pretend to be my boyfriend to avoid yung ex kong si Dave, played by Donny Pangilinan. Anak si Dave ng mayor namin at gustong makipagbalikan sa’kin pero ayoko na sa kany so I asked James na magpanggap na boyfriend ko.”
How is it working with her real BF in the movie? Did their relationship get on the way when they are having a fight?
“Hindi naman kasi ang mga away namin, never nagtatagal dahil pinag-uusapan namin agad. Inaayos agad namin para walang problema. Kasi ayaw naming maapektuhan ng conflict namin ang aming trabaho o ang ibang tao at maging cause of delay pa kami sa shooting. Gusto namin, positive lang lagi.”
What’s the difference of their love team to those of others?
“I think the big difference is bago pa nag-start ang movie, kami na talaga. Yung iba kasi, hindi sila, but during their work, nagkaka-developan sila. Kami, bago pa kami ginawang love team, naging on na kami tapos, dumami na ang fans na sumusporta sa amin.
"Ngayon, may Valentine movie pa kami. Noong araw, nag-aabang lang ako ng magandang movie na panonoorin kapag Valentine. Ngayon, heto, kami na ang bida in our own movie na sana, suportahan ng viewers.”
Do they have a kissing scene in the movie?
“Yes po. Noong una, parang nakakahiya kasi alam mong ang daming tao sa paligid watching us. Sa scene kasi, accidental lang yung paghahalikan namin.
"Madadapa ako then masasalo ako ni Ronnie at magkakadikit ang mga labi namin na masasaksihan ni Donny at doon ko sasabihin sa kanyang si Ronnie na ang bago kong BF. Ang hirap ng eksena, kasi walang rehearsal.
"Yun ang eksena naming pinakamatagal na kinunan kasi kailangang lumabas na natural lang siya. Dapat, pagkadapa ko, swak agad sa lips ni Ronnie.
"Naitawid naman namin nang maayos ang gusto ni Direk Ted kasi nang madapa ako, nakaabang na agad yung lips ni Ronnie. Swak talaga! Ha ha ha! Nagpalakpakan nga sila sa set, e.”
Some folks say she and Ronnie might later follow in the footsteps of JoshLia who eventually broke up. It’s Ronnie who replies at this point: “That will never happen sa Loinie. Malabong mangyari yun dahil laging open ang communication lines namin.”
“Oo nga,” Loisa agrees. “Kasi ako, kapit talaga ako kay Ronnie, eh. Hindi na siya makakakawala.”
