How about the rumor that she goes to bars and gets wild? "It's true I go to bars, but I've never been drunk in my whole life. Dati, wala akong nightlife, but I'm turning 25 on April 23, nothing wrong naman siguro if I go out and enjoy with some friends. Ang dami namang nagpupunta sa bars, ba't ako lang ang nasusulat? Also, it's part of my preparation for the movie I'm doing with Direk Olive Lamasan and Aga Muhlach where I will play a japayuki working in a club in Japan. We'll be shooting there on location next month."
So, she finally has work? "Yes, at nagkasabay pa nga sa taping ng new soap ko with John Lloyd Cruz, 'Imortal'. Kaya after mabakante ako for almost a year na nakakainip talaga, heto't maglalagari ako sa movie at sa soap na ididirek naman nina Chito Rono and Jerry Sineneng."
Is 'Imortal' a remake of a film starring Vilma Santos? "No. It's different. The story is about a woman na hindi tumatanda. I will play dual roles."
How can she start the movie with Aga when he has yet to finish his movie with Regine? "By next month, kahit di pa tapos ang Regine movie, basta magi-start na si Aga ng movie niya with Angel," Manay Ethel declares.
We know Ethel doesn't want to handle any more talents? How come she accepted Angel? "Honestly, up to now, di ko pa alam. Basta I'm hoping na mabait sana talaga siya in the true sense of the word. So far, no complaints yet. Basta ang sabi ko sa kanya, ayoko ng sinungaling."
Did Angel really back out of 'Kokey'? "No. Nagulat na nga lang ako and I was the last one to know. Sinabi lang sa'kin ni Tita Ethel. Yun pala, they pulled me out kasi nga magi-start ng ang movie ko and the new soap."
Luis Manzano is very open in saying he wants to win her back, but it seems she's not reciprocating him. "At least, binababa ko na siya ngayon, nag-uusap na kami, wala nang bastusan. Hindi kasi naging smooth ang breakup namin. Nasaktan talaga ko."
What's the cause of their breakup? "Unfair kung babalikan ko pa ang issue kasi si Luis, hindi rin naman nagsalita. Ang importante, mas comfortable na uli kami sa isa't isa. Hindi kami nagmamadali."
Some folks say it's because she's on with Chito, the vocalist of Parokya ni Edgar. "We're friends, masaya siyang kasama, but walang ligawan sa amin. Kaya nga nagugulat kaming kami na raw. Dedma na lang."
