Robin Padilla stops Kylie from joining Richard Gutierrez

May 2, 2008

ROBIN Padilla says he’s not allowing his daughter Kylie to play the role of Richard Gutierrez’s sister in “Asero”. “I have other plans for her,” he says. “Ayoko siyang madaliin.”

He has nothing but good words for his “Ikaw Pa Rin, Bongga Ka Boy” leading lady, Ai Ai de las Alas. “Usually, ako’ng nag-aasikaso sa mga kapareha ko, but this time, siya ang nag-asikaso sa akin.”

“That’s true,” says Ai Ai. “Kasi naman, tuwing darating siya sa set, puyat siya at pagod galing sa taping ng TV show niya (‘Joaquin Bordado’), so we tell him to rest first at doon ko pa siya pinapatulog sa kama ko sa set.”

“At kahit tapos na ang shooting namin, pinadadalhan pa niya ako ng food sa taping ko,” adds Robin. “Ganun siya ka-thoughtful. Maalaga talaga. Ibang klase.”

“What I send him is yung paborito niyang salad na siya ring kinakain ko. Nagda-diet din kasi siya, so share na lang kami sa salad na pine-prepare ko.”

So does she have an ulterior motive in doing that? Is it her way of wooing Robin? “No, para happy lang, di ba? So we can prolong our friendship kahit tapos na pati yung promo ng movie namin. Kahit sinong babae naman, puedeng ma-in love kay Robin kasi malakas ang charm. In born na sa kanya yung charisma niya at madadala ka.”

So was she carried away? “Hindi, pag ayaw ko, napipigilan ko naman ang sarili. Pero pag gusto kong hindi na pigilan, puede rin.”

She’s initially worried that she might not have a good chemistry with Robin, but the film’s writer, Mel del Rosario, assured her that she has stronger chemistry with him than his wife Liezl. So should Liezl feel insecure with her? “No. Friendship lang ang lahat. Hindi po ako homewrecker. At wholesome po itong movie namin, hindi tungkol sa infidelity. Ito ang makapagpababa sa presyo ng bigas.”
