Claudine Barretto seeks spiritual advice

April 23, 2008

SUSAN Roces was present at the presscon of “Maligno,” which is near to her heart as it won for her second FAMAS best actress award 30 years ago. After she saw the pilot episode, she said she’s happy with its modernized version and she congratulated Director Wenn Deramas and the entire cast headed by Claudine Barretto, Diether Ocampo and Rafael Rosell for a job well done. After the preview, she spread goodwill by donating a total of P14,000 that was raffled off to the press.

“I find the TV remake of ‘Maligno’ more scary and exciting kasi ibinagay sa bagong henerasyon ng viewers,” she says. “I have no doubt it will be a toprater like ‘Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara.’ I’m sure the original director, Celso Ad. Castillo, will also appreciate how they gave new treatment to the material.”

Claudine, who reprises Susan’s role, said she was nervous during the presscon because of the presence of Ms. Roces.

“I’m so thankful that my comeback vehicle after I gave birth is from the Susan Roces Cinema Collection,” she adds. “It’s an honor to be doing ‘Maligno’ and I’m glad she’s not disappointed with my interpretation of Angela, the character she played before on the big screen who becomes the mother of the son of the devil. Actually, I was scared to do ‘Maligno’ kasi it’s not just about ghosts but about demons. Being a Christian, I asked our pastor’s advice sa Victory Fellowship and he said that as long as my Christian beleifs remains strongs, I have nothing to worry about as I am just playing a role. While taping my scenes, talagang I kept on praying and reciting various Bible verses para evil spirits will not affect me while doing the show.”

“Maligno” starts airing next week on ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida.
