And it’s true. Kiray does this kind of thing effortlessly: dominating presscons. We remember that during the presscon of TV5’s “ParangNormal Activity”, she also overshadowed all her co-stars with her witty and hilarious “hirits” that come naturally to her. When asked about her kissing scene with Derek, she said he’s not her first screen kiss but Arjo Atayde.
“Kay Arjo, hindi gumalaw ang lips nito, pero kay Derek, kinakain po niya yung labi ko,” she reveals, then tells Derek who looks embarrassed. “Hoy, wag kang mahiya, Kuya, ginawa mo yun. Kasi kay Kean, may kissing scene din kami, pero hindi naman gumagalaw ang bibig niya. Si Kuya Derek, hinahatak yung labi ko. Sabi kasi, smack lang. Akala ko pag smack, magdidikit lang yung lips. E, si Kuya, hinahatak ang labi ko. Tapos sabi niya sa’kin, tuod daw ako. Sabi ko naman, ‘Ang lagay kainin ko rin yung labi mo.’ Grabe ka! Alam mo, iba ka rin! Feeling ko nga, sobrang naabuso ko.”
And what can Derek say about this? “Gusto ko nang magtago rito sa ilalim ng upuan ko,” he says laughing. “Sa dami ng ginawa kong sexy films with sexy leading ladies, never akong nakarinig ng ganyang reklamo. Ako nga, nag-toothbrush bago yung kissing scene namin. E, siya, hindi. Amoy na amoy ko pa nga yung garlic siomai na kinain niya.”
“Basta ang alam ko, kapag torrid kiss, dun lang gumagalaw ang bibig.” counters Kiray. “Hindi naman ako na-inform na sa iyo, ang smack, may kainan pala ng labi. Hindi mo naman ako in-inform na gutom ka.”
“Pag torrid, may dila,” says Derek. “Actually, na-intimidate ako nang sabihing may kissing scene kami. Tingin ko kasi sa kanya, parang niece ko lang o youngest sister. So nag-wine muna ako para pampaalis ng nerbiyos.”
In the story, Kiray is so in love with Derek that she uses a gayuma or love potion to seduce him. Everytime he looks her, he sees Solenn Heussaff and not Kiray. “May eksena sila sa beach na ewan kung papasa MTRCB,” says Solenn. “Parang rape yung scene kasi nakabukaka si Kiray, nahulog sila sa buhangin at nakapatong si Derek then nag-doggy style ang position nila.”
“Hindi doggy style yun, pramis,” says Kiray. “So alam mo naman pala ang doggy style, tapos yung halik, hindi mo alam?” says Derek. “Grabe naman, babae rin naman ako, e. Tao rin, so may alam din ako. Pero hindi naman porke alam, ginagawa mo na, di ba?”
So considering how handsome and macho Derek is, didn’t she feel anything?
“Huwag po natin kalimutang trabaho lang po ang lahat. At ang trabaho, nilalayo po yan sa kalandian. Ayokong magkaroon ng malisya sa mga katrabaho ko.”
She has no desire or pagnanasa at all with Derek? “Pramis, wala akong naramdaman. Virgin pa po ako at proud ako about that.”
“Love is Blind” opens in theaters on February. One of its stars is Kean Cipriano. When asked about his wife Chynna Ortaleza, he said their privacy is sacred to them so he’d rather not answer any question about them. So we respect his request and we’ll no longer write about him at all.
