Gina Pareno Gets To Play Another Lead Role In 'Hintayan Sa Langit' With Eddie Garcia, Directed By Dan Villegas

GINA PARENO is ecstatic to play another lead role in the OCinema Filmfest entry, ‘Hintayan sa Langit’. “The last time I played a lead role was in ‘Kubrador’ in 2006, where I won some best actress awards, ang tagal na,” she says at the presscon of QCinema Filmfest. “I’m glad kinuha ako ni Direk Dan Villegas for this project. I’ve worked with him sa teleserye pero first time namin sa movie. Ang galing niya! Iba siya sa TV. Sa movie, mas masinop siya pagdating sa mga detalye. Kakaiba ang story ng movie namin. I’m paired with Eddie Garcia for the first time. Sa movie, mga patay na kami at nasa purgatoryo kami, waiting for our turn para ma-admit kami sa langit. Pero may nakaraan pala kami sa lupa. Naging magkasintahan kami pero hindi nagkatuluyan. Ngayon, habang naghihintay kami sa langit, parang may nanumbalik. E, di ba, sa lupa naman, ang vow sa marriage, till death do us part? E, mga patay na kami, so puede na bang ituloy yung nauntol naming relasyon?”

The script was written by Juan Miguel Severo based on a play he wrote for Virgin Labfest. “Ang hahaba ng lines namin ni Eddie, tigtu-two pages kada eksena. Big challenge talaga. E, kung minsan, natatawa ko, kasi si Eddie, naga-adlib. Buti na lang flexible si Direk Dan. E, halos kaming dalawa lang ang nasa movie. May mga suportang theatre actors na ang gagaling din.”

Gina is turning 68 on October 20. “Palabas nga ito sa birthday ko,” she says. So she’s much younger than Eddie Garcia who’s in his mid-80s. “Oo naman. Kaya nga mas pinatanda ang hitsura ko rito. Pinaputi nang husto ang buhok ko at hindi pinag-make up. But I love my role and the movie. I’m so proud of this.”

How about her lovelife? “Ano ba? Matagal nang wala. Tahimik nang buhay ko. May alaga akong sampung aso. Yung lima roon, kasama ko sa kuwarto. Masaya na ako roon at nagpapasalamat akong sige-sige pa rin ako sa pag-arte ko.”
