Let’s reminisce a little. When did you feel you had great shot at topping this year’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll?
When I first heard that I had taken over the lead dun sa online votes. Yun pa nga lang gulat na gulat na ako. Natuwa ako, oo, pero alam ko naman na pwede pa ring magbago ang result. Believe it or not, hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin mapaniwalaang nanalo nga ako. Hindi ko talaga akalaing magkakaganito. It’s overwhelming to know na talagang iboboto nila ako.
How did you hear about the news of your victory?Quite by accident. At the time, I was just with Preview fashion ed Liz Uy kasi we were preparing for the FHM presscon last July. Gusto ko lang talaga mag-ayos kasi medyo matagal na akong hindi humaharap sa press at nakikita ng mga tao. Gusto kong magbihis para hindi naman nila masabing laos na ako. I was never told by the guys from your office na ako na nga yung winner because they had meant it to be a surprise pala. Kaso nadulas nga yung PA kong madaldal. Nainis tuloy ako kasi na-spoil yung surprise.
You’ve always believed that you have the acting chops to headline a show. At first, though, no one expected Eva Fonda was going to be a toprater.
Dapat nga afternoon ang timeslot nito. Ipinaglaban namin talaga na sa primetime siya mailagay. Nung nangyari yun, next goal namin sana mag-rate. So nung kinagat naman ng mga tao sobrang saya. What was also flattering, maraming mga lalaki ang biglang nanood ng teleserye. Medyo kakaiba yun kasi normally mga babae ang karaniwang fans ng ganitong show. Sobrang thankful nga yung mga bosses namin sa ABS-CBN kasi dahil sa show nagkaroon ng viewers na lalaki sa primetime. Ang maganda kasi sa Eva, hindi lang ito basta pa-sexy. May acting involved na talagang dapat ipagmalaki.
As we write this, you’ll be in Seoul, South Korea to attend the Seoul International Drama Awards 2009. Do you think you’ll win?
Hindi ko alam kung ano yung history nito at kung sinu-sinong mga Pinoy na ang na-nominate dun pero ang alam ko na-nominate na roon in 2007 yung isang episode ng Maalaala Mo Kaya. This year, nominated ang Eva Fonda for a special prize tapos nominated ako for best actress. My bosses in ABS-CBN were so happy about it kasi flattering na na-honor ang Philippines because of our show. I’ve always dreamed about winning an acting award. Pero, heto na naman ako, ayoko pa ring mag-expect. Basta kung ano’ng meron, happy na ako roon.
Have you ever been arrested for speeding?
Maraming beses na, pero lahat awa ng Diyos nalusutan ko. Hindi ko sinasabing ako yung sexiest sa bansa, ha. Ano lang, face value tapos magpapa-charming at magpapa-cute na ako.
What the one thing men must know about you?
I’m brutally frank, whether I’m extremely happy or mad. Minsan ginagawa kong joke yung mga bagay na alam kong hindi naman dapat. Minsan di ko mapigilan eh.
What’s the one thing you’ll always hate about them?
Yung pagiging manhid nila. Minsan kasi yung mga lalaki masyadong puro tanong. Kulang sa pakiramdam. Hindi nila makuha yung pag-iisip ng babae. Whenever a woman says, for example, na “okay lang”, ang ibig sabihin hindi okay. Or it means, no talaga. Pag nagtanong siya kunwari kung okay bang sumama siya with the boys, at sinabi kong okay lang, ang gusto ko, mag-offer man lang sana siya na isama ako. Hindi yung bigla na lang aalis.
How happy are you now that you’ve found the way?
Sa career, masaya ako na amid all the issues at mga speculations, naayos din lahat. Tinatanggap pa rin ako ng tao. Happy ako kasi hindi ako pinababayaan ng mga taong nagmamahal sa akin at patuloy akong pinagpapala ni God.
