“SANA maulit muli!”
This is what Maine Mendoza said as she expressed hopes of working again with Coco Martin. They are top-billing the 2018 Metro Manila Film Fest entry “Jack Em Popoy: The Puliscredibles.”
The GMA-7 star feels lucky to be given the opportunity to work with Coco who is an ABS-CBN talent.
“Hindi ko inakala na mabibigyan ako ng ganitong pagkakataon na makatrabaho pareho si Bossing at si Sir Coco.
“Sobrang grateful at sana maulit muli!”
Bossing refers to “Eat Bulaga” host Vic Sotto who is cast as Maine’s father in this MMFF 2018 entry.
What can Maine say about working with Coco?
“Ang bait-bait! Sobrang maalalahanin. May ilangan at first pero ngayon, at ease na kami sa isa’t isa,” she said.
In one portion of the film, Coco showcased his dancing skills and Maine commended him by saying: “Ang galing niyo pong sumayaw! Ang cute!”
Coco then quipped, “Puro kalokohan itong pelikula na ito. Maraming unexpected, lalo na sa part naming tatlo nina Bossing.”
Would it be possible for Maine to join Coco in the ABS-CBN prime-time series “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano?”
“Ay! Oo naman! Wow! Tingnan natin,” she answered.
Maine then turned to Coco and asked “Magho-host ka rin sa ‘Eat Bulaga?’ Kasama namin sa Sugod Bahay.”
Coco said with a smile, “Pwede rin!”
With regards to her possible appearance on an ABS-CBN show, Maine said, “Kung papayagan po ako, bakit po hindi?”
Coco observed that film production outfits are now more relaxed when it comes to allowing stars to appear in rival companies.
“Nakakatuwa kasi open na, e. Makikita naman natin ang mga taga-GMA nag-shoot ng pelikula sa Star Cinema, gumagawa ng pelikula.
“Ang ano lang natin ay magtulungan tayo sa industriya, kung paano pa tayo makakagawa ng maganda pang pelikula.”
Will Maine crossover to “Ang Probinsyano?”
“Pwede! Tatawid rin ako sa ‘Eat Bulaga!’” exclaimed Coco.
Turning serious, Coco recalled: “Honestly, nung nage-extra-extra pa lang ako, nasubukan ko na mag-guest diyan sa ‘Eat Bulaga’ para mag-promo.
“Nagbabalik tanaw lang ako, ‘Dati lang, nagpupunta ako dito. Ngayon, nandito na ko bilang artista.’ Nakakatuwa.” (Pep.ph)
