Right timing, right projects at MMFF

THE cast of 'I'm Perfect'

(haciendera ang peg!) Although she would receive calls from colleagues, they would not convince her to stage a comeback. (so nag-inarte ba ang ate mo?!)

“No offense ha, dun sa mga nag-aaya sakin, tara na game, eto yung kwento. Pero parang wala talaga syang lukso ng dugo, parang hindi nakaka-kembang yung dating niya," Angelica explains. (siyempre go tayo sa nakaka~kembang!)

But when Director Jeffrey Jeturian, writer Chris Martinez, and producer Atty Joji Alonso of Quantum films offered her the film UnMarry, she responded positively. (kumembang ba?!)

“Siyempre gusto ko yung tahimik na buhay na meron ako ngayon. Kailangan nyo ako pakitaan ng talagang teka sandal, ang ganda nito. Sandali luluwas ako para rito.Kailangan ko yung manggigil ako dun sa project. Yung di ka makakatulog pag pinalagpas ko ito. Eto yung project na yun," Angelica shares. (ako sa iba nanggigil!)
