Katrina Halili No Plans To Marry Kris Lawrence Even If They Already Have A Baby Girl

KATRINA HALILI is glad to be reunited with Director Maryo de los Reyes in ”Magkano Ba ang Pag-ibig” that starts airing this Monday. Maryo was her director in the soap where she played the lead, “Magdusa Ka”, which was even nominated in the international Emmy Awards.

“Iba talaga si Direk Maryo J dahil he brings out the best in his actors,” says Katrina, whose daughter Katrence turned one year old last Wednesday. “Dito sa ‘Magkano Ba ang Pag-ibig’, tatlo kaming aktres na nag-Valentina ang nagkasama-sama. Una si Tita Celia Rodriguez na nag-Valentina kay Gov. Vilma Santos sa ‘Lipad Darna Lipad’ in 1973. Then si Alessandra de Rossi na nag-Valentina on TV to Angel Locsin’s Darna noong 2005, at ako na nag-Valentina kay Marian Rivera sa 2009 version ng ‘Darna’.”

She and Katrence’s dad, singer Kris Lawrence, hosted a Candyland-themed birthday party for their baby. “She’s really a blessing kasi ang bait-bait, hindi iyakin at all. Ganyan din daw ako noong baby ako.”

So do they plan to get married soon for the sake of the baby? “Huwag muna. Siguro pag 30 na ako. Mag-iipon muna kami. I’m having a dive resort constructed in El Nido, Palawan, para naman may income pa rin ako pag walang trabaho rito. Mas conscious na ko sa mga gastusin ngayon. Di gaya ng dati, wala akong pakialam sa bills, bayad lang ng bayad, but now, teka magtipid naman tayo sa kuryente, sa tubig.”

So Kris doesn’t live with them? “Hindi, dun pa rin siya sa pad nila ni Jay-R. Sila talaga ang magka-live in, e. Malapit lang naman sa bahay ko sa New Manila ang bahay nila, kaya madalas siyang nakakadalaw sa’min ng baby naming si Kate. Napakabait ng parents niya, laging may pinapadalang supplies sa amin ni Kate from the States.”

What can she say now that Sen. Bong Revilla, who helped her at the height of the Hayden Kho scandal and who’s now in the eye of the storm due to the pork barrel brouhaha? “Wala. I’m just praying for him na malampasan niya ang mga pinagdaraanan niya ngayon.”
