Director Cathy Garcia Molina Very Candid In Criticizing Gerald Anderson & Pia Wurtzbach Before They Started Shooting 'My Perfect You'

 DIRECTOR CATHY GARCIA MOLINA ended 2017 with a big hit, “Unexpectedly Yours”. She now starts 2018 with another promising romcom that’s now showing nationwide, “My Perfect You”, starring Gerald Anderson and Pia Wurtzbach. It’s the first time she works with both of them and she’s very honest and candid in saying what she feels about them during their storycon.

“Si Gerald, sobrang tinapak-tapakan ko ang ego at walang preno ang bibig ko,” she says. “Sabi ko, hindi ako naguguwapuhan sa kanya at hindi ko gusto ang acting niya. My intention is to bring out who Gerald really is para makita kung hanggang saan ang range niya, kung ano pa kaya niyang ipakita. Alam kong nasaktan ko siya but I admire him for allowing me na tapakan siya at rendahan siya. As the shooting went on, naging guwapo siya sa paningin ko at nang panoorin ko ang acting niya sa ending, I saw the sincerity in his performance that I only get from John Lloyd Cruz.”



How about Pia? “Sabi ko, hindi ako nagagandahan sa kanya at mataba siya. Galing kasi siya noon sa bakasyon at napakain yata siya kaya lumusog. Hindi ko rin alam kung anong klase ang acting niya. But it’s good when I don’t like my actors kasi it turns out always that, at the end of our movie, I get to like them. In fact, I even get to love them. Si Pia, parang empthy canvas siya for me and in fairness, she delivers. Mamahalin nyo siya rito sa role niya as Abi, isang bubbly girl na magpapabago sa buhay ni Gerald bilang isang bitter young man na sobrang na-depressed nang mag-propose siya sa girlfriend niya sa Manila pero ni-reject siya kaya nagpunta siya sa bundok where he meets Pia sa isang camp na ang attitude sa buhay, sobrang opposite nung sa kanya.”

Direk Cathy says she will be retiring in August of 2019 to devote more time to her family. She’s also thinking of getting married again. But after ‘My Perfect You’, she will direct KathNiel in their next movie. As for teleseryes, she doesn’t like to do them anymore.
