“Lahat na lang yata sila, nasampal ako.” Which slapping scene is the most painful? “Siyempre, ‘yung kay Ms. Jean Garcia. Grabe ‘yun. Namanhid talaga ang mukha ko. Apat na beses kasi ‘yun, pero may nakahanda nang yelo sa set after sinabi niyang hindi niya dadayain, e. Ganun din ‘yung kay Mel Martinez. Nagmarka yung kamay niya sa mukha ko.”
How about Barbie Forteza? “Ay, bale wala ‘yun kasi alalay lang kaming dalawa sa isa’t isa kapag nagsasampalan kami.
And I don’t complain kahit lagi akong sinasampal kasi kailangang laging may sampalan dahil mas tumataas daw ang rating ng show kapag may sampalan scenes.”
In the story, she’s in love with Andre Paras but Andre prefers Barbie.
Doesn’t she feel jealous and insecure because of this?
“Okay lang ‘yun. Hindi ako nagseselos.”
Why? Is it because she’s really going steady with “Protege” co-contestant Mikoy Morales in real life?”Who said so? Hindi kami on ni Mikoy. Super close friends lang kami.”
Has their talent fees increased since the show started a year ago?
“Ay, opo. Nadagdagan ang talent fee naming lahat now that we’re on our second year. At may bonus pang trip sa Japan dahil magte-tape kami ng maraming eksena roon on location.”
