BIANCA UMALI HAS CLARIFIED the alleged billing issue with National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts Nora Aunor on the poster of VIVA Films "Mananambal."

- By CHARMIE JOY PAGULONG

The film director Adolfo Alix Jr. was asked to answer first during a mediacon if there was some truth to the issue, if Bianca's team wanted more space for her than Nora.

"May I please speak first na po?" said Bianca. "I am shocked by the question po. But I would like to handle it as professionally as possible. I believe that the question is inappropriate for the event and also, I don't know how I would feel because I don't have any idea about that. And I'm worried about how people in this room might take it, hearing it from the representative from the press."

She said that the opportunity to work with Nora is "already a blessing."

"And it is an opportunity that I already knew na hindi ko po palalagpasin," continued Bianca. "Being with her on set was a masterclass for me and was a dream I never thought I would achieve this early in my career. Kaya po yung makasama si Miss Nora that's already enough."
