Dusky Sexpot Althea Vega Seen In Two Cinemalaya Entries: 'Ang Katiwala' And 'Diablo'

DUSKY SEXPOT ALTHEA VEGA has two entries in the Cinemalaya filmfest. She plays the wife of Dennis Trillo in “Ang Nawawala” and is with Carlo Aquino in “Diablo”. How come she’s doing only indie films?

“Dun lang ako nakukuha, e,” she says. “Other indie films I’ve done are ‘Walang Kawala’, ‘Dreamguyz’, ‘Big Night’, ‘Halik sa Tubig’, ‘Two Funerals’, ‘Kolorete’ and last yung ‘Mga Anino Sa Tanghaling Tapat’ sa Cinema One last year. Pero may natapos akong international movie gawa ng isang British director, ‘Metro-Manila’, with theatre actor Jake Macapagal. Sa TV, nakuha ko sa GMA-7 noon as a slave in ‘Amaya’. Sana nga, makagawa uli ako ng TV soap. Real estate agent din ako ng Trump Century Properties.”

How is it working with Dennis in ‘Ang Katiwala’? “Napakatahimik. Kundi mo kakausapin, hindi magsasalita, parang yung director namin, si Aloy Adlawan. Sa story, may anak kami ni Dennis, si Migs Cuaderno, yung boy sa ‘Munting Heredera’. Iniwan niya kami sa probinsiya kaya sinundan namin siya dito sa Manila.”
