Sequel of 'Agimat at Enteng Kabisote'

SEN. BONG REVILLA and Vic Sotto discovered a lot of each other’s good qualities while working together in “Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote”. “Before, I thought suplado si Bossing,” says Bong. “Kasi laging tahimik lang, yun pala he’s just really quiet pero mabait siya. When it comes to comedy, magaling talaga siya kaya bilib ako sa comic ideas that he contributed in out movie. Nagkasundo kami agad.”

“I didn’t really know him that much before this movie but one thing I discovered about him is he’s very caring with the people he works with,” says Vic about Bong. “Perfect siya sa politics as, generally, mapagmahal siya sa kapwa niya at maalaga sa mga tao. Di katakatakang nag-number one siya sa senado.”

Will he consider joining politics like Bong? “No, may binabagayan ang politics. Ako, kontento na ako sa estado ko ngayon sa showbiz. Mas bagay diyan si Bong at ang brother kong si Tito Sotto na senador din.”

What can they say about predictions that their movie will be number one at the box office? “Di salamat,” says Bong. “Nag-join forces kami mainly to help the industry and make this filmfest the most successful ever. But we really pray na lahat ng entries, kumita sana sa takilya para walang producer na malugi.”

At their film’s ending, it’s hinted that there will be a Part 2 for the adventures of Agimat and Enteng Kabisote. But obviously, it’s not going to be for next year as Bong told us he’s now busy with the pre-production of “Ang Panday, Ikalawang Aklat”, which will be his entry in 2010 filmfest. “We want it to top ‘Panday 1’, kaya ngayon pa lang, pinaghahandaan ko na,” he says.
