“As far as I know, nauna kami,” she says. “Two weeks na kaming nagte-taping nang ma-release yung stories tungkol sa baby nila na Scarlet din ang name. Siempre, nagulat ako. Sabi ko, ano ba to? Scarlet din ang name ko rito sa bagong show. Pero siguro naman, nagkataon lang yun. Unintentional. Hindi sinadya ninuman. Saka hindi na naman issue yun, kaya wag nyo na lang palakihin. Naka-move on na kaming lahat, e.”
As Scarlet in ‘Sa Piling ni Nanay’, she plays a former beauty queen and very ambitious woman who marries Benjamin Alves because he’s very rich. But it turns out she’s infertile and can’t have her own kids, so they hire Yasmien Kurdi to be a baby maker who will carry their baby for them in her own womb.
“Napakasalbahe ko rito kay Yasmien,” adds Katrina. “Lagi ko siyang binubugbog. Noong una, alalay pa ako. Pero sabi ni Direk Gil Tejada, totohanin ko raw ang mga sampal at sabunot ko. Okay rin lang naman kay Yasmien so tinodo ko na. Pero after the take, niyayakap ko siya at sorry ako nang sorry sa kanya kasi alam kong masakit akong manampal sa laki ng kamay ko.”
Yasmien is legally married to a pilot, Rey Soldevilla, and has a daughter. In her case, she has split with the dad, Kris Lawrence, of her love child, Katy. Isn’t she somehow envious of Yasmien who’s more complete with an official family?
“No, not really. I’m happy for Yasmien. As for me, darating din naman siguro yung right guy for me, in God’s own time. As for Kris, friends naman kami. He visits our daughter regularly at tumutulong naman siya, so hanggang doon na lang yon. I’m not even dating anyone. Happy naman ako sa buhay ko. Basta ayokong madallin at baka magkamali na naman ako. Ilang beses na akong nagkamali before, so ayoko nang maulit at baka sabihin nyo, nauntog na ako, hindi pa rin ako natututo.”
