Tanging “Rosario” ang straight drama movie sa darating na filmfest, and this early, many predict it’ll win most of the awards as it’s not escapist fantasy like the other entries, saying title-roler Jennylyn Mercado has a good chance of winning best actress.
“I’m not expecting anything,” sabi Jen. “Basta I did everything Direk Albert told me to do. In my six years in showbiz, this is my most daring and challenging role since I had to show some skin in my love scenes with Dennis Trillo and Yul Servo, and even by myself in scenes where I’m changing my clothes. I was so nervous as first time ko to do this, but I’ve seen them na and artistic ang pagkakagawa ni Direk Albert who I trusted so much. May pressure sa ’kin kasi I play the title role at puro big name stars ang kalaban namin. Basta I did my best, I gave my all, and I’m just happy nagawa ko nang maayos ang trabaho ko. Quality-wise, I’m proud of the film and I can show it to my son when he grows up.”
“Rosario” is based on the true story of magnate Manny V. Pangilinan’s grandma, a liberated Filipina in the 20s who just arrived from New York and defied convention when she falls for an older man (Yul Servo) then commits the sin of adultery with a younger lover (Dennis Trillo).
Pero may irony na kinakakaharap si Jen. Mismong TV5 ang producer ng movie pero malabo raw na payagan siya ng GMA 7 na mag-promote sa naturang channel.
Paano kaya yun?
“Sana naman, pumayag sila. Napakaganda ng movie at ‘wag sanang maging biktima ng network wars.”
