April 'Congratulations' Gustilo Goes Daring In A Sexy Stage Play, 'Solo Para Adultos', Where She Plays A Porn Actress

 

APRIL GUSTILO gained fame as one of Willie Revillame’s co-hosts in “Wowowee”. She is noted for loudly exclaiming “Congratulations!” on the air whenever a contestant wins. “Tumatanaw talaga ako ng malaking utang na loob kay Kuya Willie dahil from being a dancer, siya ang nagbigay sa’kin ng break to be a host at nakasama pa niya ako noong lumipat siya sa TV5,” she says. “Forever ko yung tatanawing utang na loob sa kanya. Nung mawala ang show, I branched out into acting at nakapag-guest ako sa ‘Magpakailanman’, ‘Ipaglaban Mo’, and did teleseryes like ‘Babaeng Hampaslupa’, ‘Juan Happy Love Story’ at last ko ‘yung ‘D’Originals’ sa GMA-7.”

She now tries something new, theatre acting in the sexy stage play “Solo Para Adultos (For Adults Only)” to be shown at Music Museum on Friday, October 20, 8 PM. “Noong una, naiilang ako, but I welcome the challenge. Ang hahaba ng lines na dapat memoryahin at bawal makalimot dahil you’re live on stage so mistakes are not allowed. Sobrang daring ako rito. Ginahasa ako ng stepfather ko, then naging pokpok ako, may na-meet akong Amerikano na dinala ako sa States at doon, nakilala ako as porn star named Veronica Fox. Pati lengguwahe sa play na ito, very daring, pang-adults talaga, bastos at walang pasintabi.”

She has kissing scenes with both a boy and a girl in the play. “Yung boy is Vivo Ouano, a masseur na dati ko nang lover. Ang girl naman, si Tori Garcia, na gustong agawin ang title ko as Porn Queen.”

So which does she prefer, the boy or the girl? “Siempre, si Vivo dahil ayoko naman ng kapwa ko babae. May boyfriend ako, non-showbiz. Papanood ko nga sa kanya ito para ma-shock siya. Ha ha ha!”

During the presscon, she did an act from the play and she impressed the writers present because the lines she delivered are about ten paragraphs and she didn’t buckle at all, mouthing them all with much gusto and conviction. Who knows, this might just be the start of her career in theatre?
