Ryza Cenon inherits Rosanna Roces' daring role in Machete

RYZA CENON was the winner in Starstruck 2 but it’s only now that she’s given a real meaty role as Marla, the sexy sculptress who seduces Aljur Abrenica in “Machete”. Ryza plays a villain role.  “Marami kong scenes na dito ko pa lang ginawa,” she says. “Lagi akong scantily clothed in most of my scenes, tapos yung estatwa ni Machete, hinihipuan ko talaga ang harapan. Noong maging si Aljur na, yung matitigas na niyang muscles at abs ang hinipo ko. Pero hanggang dun lang at di ko na binaba kasi baka sabihin, maniac ako.”

Her role was played by Rita Avila and Rosanna Roces in the past two film versions. How will she compare herself to them? “Ay, mas daring naman yung mga ginawa nila kasi movies yun. May scene pa si Osang na kinabayo si Machete. Itong amin, sa TV lang, may kid viewers kaya di puedeng ganun ka-sexy. May bedscenes daw kami ni Aljur later on, but I’m sure yun lang puedeng pumasa sa MTRCB. Ba’t naman kami gagawa ng puputulin lang? Ang maganda rito sa TV version, mas na-develop yung conflict sa amin ng karibal kong si Rosela, played by Bela Padilla. Ipinakita kami na mga bata pa at noon pa lang, inaapi ko na siya.”
