“Nakaka-relate ako sa role ko rito as a Japayuki who had two kids with different fathers dahil nangyari rin sa’kin yun sa tunay na buhay,” says Pokie (her nickname). “Ang kaibhan lang, may Zanjoe Marudo ako rito na pinilit kong maging ama ng dalawa kong anak, sina Mikylla Ramirez at Steven de Guzman. Sa tunay na buhay, wala akong kapartner na ganyan.”
Pokwang is named Clarise in the movie while Zanjoe is Henry and his girlfriend, Ellen Adarna, is named Clarize (with a Z). By a stroke of luck, Pokwang and Zanjoe figure in an accident at sea and get marooned in an island. Zanjoe gets afflicted with amnesia and Pokwang makes him believe that she is his wife, thus the title, “My Illegal Wife”.
“Riot ang pelikula dahil marami kaming eksena ritong ini-spoof ang most memorable scenes from other movies,” says Pokie. “Yung eksena ni Bea Alonzo na girl in the rain sa ‘She’s the One’, inulit namin dito, plus scenes from ‘Starting Over Again’, ‘It Takes a Man and a Woman’, ‘Bride for Rent’, ‘The Legal Wife’ at iba pa. I assure you, hahagalpak kayong lahat sa katatawa.”
Pokie is so happy that she gets to kissing scenes and bed scenes with Zanjoe in the movie. “Puede niya kong idemanda ng sexual harassment dahil nilafang-lafang ko siya. Dalawa yung kissing scenes namin pero bawat isa, inabot ng 1,200 shots kaya nakarami ako. Hindi lang sa lips niya kundi sa iba pang parts ng katawan niya. At take note, ang lambot ng lips niya. Mai-in love ka talaga. Napakapalad ni Bea Alonzo. Kaya lang, napaka-gentleman niya. Di man lang nag-take advantage, e gusto ko nga, barubalin niya ako. I saw him grow as an actor mula nang lumabas siya sa PBB at nagkasama kami sa sitcom na ‘Aalog-Alog’. Likas ang kabutihan niya at napakasarap niyang katrabaho.”
