SANYA LOPEZ acknowledges that she is so blessed.
Some stars didn’t get any projects during the lockdown, but she continues to get choice assignments doing guestings in various GMA-7 shows like “Wish Ko Lang”, “Dear Uge” and now, in the special Halloween presentation of “Magpakailanman” this Saturday.
“Kaya naman lubos-lubos po ang pasasalamat ko sa GMA dahil nararamdaman ko ang pag-aalaga nila sa’kin,” she says. “At hayan nga, ako pa ang napiling pumalit kay Ate Marian Rivera bilang kapareha ni Kuya Gabby Concepcion sa ‘First Yaya’.
"Meron pa akong ‘Agimat ng Agila’ with Sen. Bong Revilla, so I really can’t complain sa dami ng blessings na dumarating sa akin.”
Her first taping day with Gabby is scheduled on November 19 and it will be a lock in setup, which is the norm nowadays while we’re still on lockdown.
“I’m so excited kasi di ko pa nami-meet si Kuya Gabby nang personal,” Sanya adds. “I’ve seen his movies before and the shows he did dito sa GMA at fan niya talaga ako. Never kong naisip na one day, makakatrabaho ko siya.
"Tiyak na kikiligin ako kapag magkasama na kami sa eksena. Sabi naman ng direktor namin, si Kuya L.A. Madridejos, okay lang yun kasi gusto niyang ma-catch yun kapag nagkita na kami sa taping, yung pagka-fan ko.”
And what’s her role in the horror story, “Halimaw sa Kama”, featured in “Magpakailanman” this Saturday?
“Ay, very challenging po. I play Mayet, a young woman na naging biktima ng isang evil spirit na na-in love sa kanya. Gabi-gabi, it assaults me sexually at wala akong magawa kasi wala namang nakakakita sa kanya.
"Maski ako, di ko siya nakikita so uma-acting akong inaatake ako ng evil spirit at nakikipaglaban ako sa kanya in front of the camera. Pati yung asawa ko, si Pancho Magno as Vic, ayaw maniwalang may demon na humahalay sa akin. Wala naman akong magawa para patunayan ko sa kanyang biktima nga ako ng isang masamang espiritu.”
This episode entitled “Halimaw sa Kama” in “Magpakailanman” is based on the true experience of a woman in a remote province.
Also in the cast are award-winning character actors Angeli Bayani and Mon Confiado. Don’t miss it on Saturday night right after “The Clash, Season 3”, on GMA-7.
