"You know why? I love acting and being like another person even for just a day..."

There are times, however, when she feels that she's the antithesis of her role.

"My gosh, you'd wish it to end na, lalo na kapag soap pa," she admitted. "If you don't like what you're doing...Dati kasi, dating sistema—mabilisan. Ibibigay sa 'yo yung script, the next day na ang taping. Hindi mo naaral, 'tapos ang feeling mo, hindi mo naman character yun..."

MANO PO WARDROBE. Her sense of fashion in the movie is "very conservative," but she actually doesn't mind if it's for the role.

"I'll be wearing shoes and clothes I don't wear in real life," she said. Good thing, "wala na akong pinagawa kasi may mga suits ako na sana ay for soap opera na hindi ako natuloy sa casting. That's another topic..."

She continued, "Gustung-gusto ko kasi yung ano, e, yung hindi mo makikita si Divine Diva sa third person. I like to get into character. Change the look, the hair, the way I dress, ganun...Even this, it's not me, I do not dress this way...."

She seems to be one of the favorites of Mother Lily Monteverde, the matriarch of Regal Films.

She smiled sweetly, and said: "I'm so thankful."
