INTERVIEW: FHM STAFF
PHOTOGRAPHY: RENE MEJIA

Tell us about your role in First Time.
My part of the movie is mainly drama-based. I’m a field reporter who’s very conservative. However, she’s not sure if she’s straight or a lesbian because she feels like she’s falling for both a girl and a guy.

Conservative... Would you say that that applies to you?
(Thinks awhile) I think so, ha ha! Bagay naman yata sa akin in that I’m the type of girl who will never go for one-night stands.

How did you train yourself for your role?
Nothing, really. Actually, basta ginawa ko na lang siya. I really got confused more by the movie’s plot because it has so many different twists. It’s really weird, parang bahala na yung audience mag-isip kung ano talaga ang nangyari, kung fantasy or reality. And it was really hard, particularly the scene where I was gang-raped, and a scene where a carpenter forces me to perform fellatio on him at knifepoint...

Lesbian love scenes—any similar tendencies in real life?
Marunong akong humanga sa ibang babae. I can tell other girls how pretty I find them and all that, but I don’t think it’ll come to the point na manliligaw ako sa mga girls, ha ha!

Can we expect graphic presentations of your character’s girl love in the movie?
Mayroon, definitely! Grabe talaga yung ibang scenes du’n— I’m just hoping they won’t get edited out. There’s a part where I’m licking the breasts of another girl, and another where I’m French-kissing her, tongue and all. Tapos may suggestion na ipapasok ko yung kamay ko sa ano niya...

Excuse us while we adjust our pants... How did you feel while doing all those scenes?
Eeeew, ha ha! Sa akin, it was okay, part of the job. Ang nandidiri yung partner ko, si Hazel (Cabrera). And inaasar ko talaga siya! Sometimes, even before we start shooting a scene, I touch her breasts! Napapasigaw talaga siya, ha ha!
