Sheena Halili Admits Missing Rocco Nacino While He's Shooting 'Lam-Ang' In Ilocos Sur

SHEENA HALILI is elated to be reunited with Marian Rivera in “Tweets for My Sweet”. “We became very close while doing ‘Amaya’, kaya nakakatuwang magkasama kami uli rito ngayon,” she says.

Has she ever experienced Marian’s alleged ‘katarayan’? “Never. Napakabait nga niya to me. Nang magkasama kami sa isang episode ng morning dramang ‘Maynila’, naiwan ko yung accessories ko sa bahay and she lent me hers. Very generous siya. Since, then, nagkasama rin kami sa movie na ‘One True Love’ at sa ‘Marimar’ where I played her friend na may kashongahan. Nasasaktan ako kapag may naninira sa kanya kasi para na kaming magkapatid.”

Aside from “Tweets for My Sweet”, she also has a regular role as Sinag, the Voodoo Doll who came to life in “Alice Bungisngis and Her Wonder Walis”. She’s also in the Elmo Magalona-Julie Anne San Jose launching film, “Just One Summer”. “Nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa GMA kasi sunod-sunod ang work ko with them. Hindi nila ako pinababayaan. Paganda ng paganda ang ‘Alice Bungisngis’ so wag kayong bibitaw. Jean Garcia as the witch Esmeralda continues to be cruel to me at itatali ako so I will ask help from Alice’s dad, Janno Gibbs as Hilario. Ang mga galamay naman ni Jean na sina Benjie Garcia at Sef Cadayona, mahuhuli si Bea Binene as Alice and child star Lenlen Frial who exchanged bodies. Mabubuking naman si Jake Vargas ng mom niyang si Irma Adlawan na tinutulungan niya ang caretaker na si Boboy Garovillo.”

But doesn’t she dream of doing a lead role? “Okay lang, but hindi ako ang magde-decide niyan kundi ang GMA. Basta ako, masaya ko sa career ko. Hindi ako nababakante, magrereklamo pa ba ko? At okay rin naman sa’kin to do supporting roles kasi, at least hindi akong nagdadala. Pag ikaw ang bida, oras na di mag-click, siempre ikaw ang unang masisisi.”

Doesn’t she miss her BF Rocco Nacino who’s now shooting “Lam-Ang” on location in Ilocos Sur? “Hoy, hindi ko pa siya BF. We’re very close but no official commitment kasi nga we’re both so busy. Siempre nami-miss ko rin, but we text each other naman. Isa pa, busy yung tao, ayoko masyado abalahin para makapag-focus siya sa work niya roon.”
