Working with unfamiliar cast mates was foremost among David Licauco's challenges in doing the film "Samahan ng mga Makasalanan," a satirical-comedy from GMA Pictures that he top-bills minus his perennial screen partner Barbie Forteza.

Why 'Samahan ng mga Makasalanan' was a challenge for David Licauco

"Acting-wise, in the past three years, I have been working with Barbie and so I'm very much familiar with how she acts, how she is on and outside the set," said Licauco, answering questions sent by The FREEMAN.

"I wouldn't say it's daunting...I'd say it's challenging, just because the past three, four, five projects that I did was with Barbie.'

Licauco, whose tandem with Forteza began unexpectedly in the hit series "Maria Clara at Ibarra", went on to star with the actress on television in "Maging Sino Ka Man" and "Pulang Araw", as well as on the big screen in "That Kind of Love."

In "Samahan ng mga Makasalanan," now in cinemas, he stars alongside Kapuso talents who he wasn't "really close to" and had yet to act with.
