Ano sa palagay niya ang edge niya sa ibapang ka-batch niya sa Star magic? “My passion for music,” agad niyang sagot nang walang gatol. “I can sing and I might have my own album this year.
I just hope all those who watched ‘Be Careful’ will also follow our new show.” Siya si Sophie, ulila, and is paired with Marlo Mortel and PBB’s Manolo Pedrosa in “Oh My G”.
|Suporta sina Eric Quizon at Maricar Reyes as her parents who both die prematurely, Janice de Belen and John Arcilla as the parents of Marco, Edgar Allan Guzman and Josh de Guzman as Marlo’s brothers, Sunshine Cruz and Dominic Ochoa as the couple who become Janella’s guardian after her parents died.
Kabituin din sina Julia Buencamino (daughter of Shamaine and Nonie Buencamino) as her best friend, plus a whole barkada of new teen stars led by Lian Valentin, Kokoy de Santos and Paolo Gumabao who are, like Janella, also managed by Manny Valera.
This is under the direction of Veronica Velasco, director of the hit “Pure Love.” Ipinagmamalaki din ni Janella that “Oh M G” is something different from other soaps as it’sinspirational and has a spiritual touch.
“This is based on the request of Carmelite sisters who asked Ma’am Charo Santos Concio to come up with a show that pays tribute to St. Teresa of Avila who’s celebrating her 5th centenary this year.
We incorporate in the story the good values she imparts like humility, detachment from material things and love of neighbor, but in a subtle fun way at hindi preachy.”
Gaya ni Sophie sa Oh My G, nawawala rin ang tunay niyang ama na si Juan Miguel Salvador at matagal na nga niyang di nakikita. Ano ang nararamdaman niya? “Like Sophie, not having a dad has taught me to be strong and independent.
But in reallife naman, I still have my mom (singer Jenine Desiderio.)” So, which of Marlo or Manolo will conquer her heart on and off cam? “Ay, wala pong ganun. I’m only 16. Hindi pa ako ready magboyfriend. Work muna. As of now, friends lang kami lahat sa taping. Maganda ang bonding namin sa set.” “Oh My G” will start airing on Monday, January 19.
