Clad in a pink robe thrown over lingerie (possibly used for a scene), Angel Locsin took a break from shooting the final sequences of The Promise to talk about a milestone in her acting career: doing a love scene. Text by Jillian Q. Gatcheco. Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio. “Noong una pa lang, alam ko na na mayroong love scene, so ako, ‘Okay. Pabasa muna ng script.’ Tapos noong nabasa ko na ‘yung script, sobrang na-inlove ako sa story ni Andrea at saka ni Daniel (Richard Gutierrez). Ang ganda ng story!” The love scenes are a first for both Angel and her co-star Richard’s. Prior to this project, their romantic moments were comprised of kissing scenes. This time, they step out of their comfort zones to film something more mature and more intimate. “‘Yung first love scene, sa Pangasinan, sa may light house. ‘Yung unang love scene kasi, mas bata ‘yung dating, siyempre ‘yun ‘yung first time kunwari. Mas iba ‘yung atake, mas kabado, mas nage-explore ka pa lang,” explains Angel. Angel continues, “Tapos ‘yung pangalawang love scene, ang gusto ni Direk, mas passionate ‘yung dating. Medyo nakakakaba siyempre, kasi hindi naman namin ginagawa dati yun (sa Click)! Sabi ko nga, dati nagpapa-cute lang tayo, bakit tayo napunta dito?” And the big question is: how did it feel while they were filming? “Nakakakaba lang, kasi ito ‘yung first time na gagawin namin ‘yung love scene, tapos basta, parang ang weird lang nung feeling. Pero kami ni Chard, naging professional kami, ginawa namin kung ano yung pinapagawa ni Direk, at maganda naman ‘yung kinalabasan, hindi siya malaswa tingnan.” It also helped that the production crew, under Director Mike Tuviera’s instructions, shot the intimate moments in a closed set. Very few people were allowed to be on hand, creating a more private setting for the shoot. “Siyempre, nakakailang naman, di ba?” agrees Angel. “At saka live sound eh, kung may ibang tao kasi, baka magingay, kasi ume-echo kasi sa loob ng light house.” Right after shooting the scenes, everything was back to normal. “We were all joking about it, and siyempre by then, they were relaxed, and of course, si Angel is very, very demanding on herself. So she would always say, ‘Are you sure, Direk, are you happy with what you got? Do you want another one?’ Angel’s very serious, and then Chard, ‘Ang pangit, let’s do another one! Let’s do it again...and again...and again!’ So they respond differently to the same emotion. But after the scene they were very happy.” Intrigued? Then don’t miss The Promise this Valentine’s Day!
