Vaness del Moral may have started out as a kontrabida, but she is now one of the go-to best friends for everyone—both in character and in real life! Follow Vaness's journey after her journey ended on 'StarStruck.' Text by Jason John S. Lim; with Interviews by Erick P. Mataverde. Photos by Mio de Castro. "Nung StarStruck days, ako yung pinaka-ayaw nila," inamin sa amin ni Vaness del Moral nang matanong namin siya tungkol sa kanyang StarStruck experience. She continues, "okay lang na ako yung pinaka-ayaw nila." Sa kuwento ni Vaness, hindi daw siya magustuhan nung batch mates niya nung StarStruck: the Nationwide Invasion dahil masyado siyang tahimik. "Lahat sila, sila Iwa [Moto], sila Arci [Munoz]—ayaw nila sa akin kasi masungit daw ako, tapos parang ang taray-taray ko." And okay lang naman daw sa kanya ito, dahil ngayon, "mas close kami at nakita nila kung ano talaga—kung sino ako, kung bakit ako ganoon kasungit." She adds, "Maldita ako, pero nakita nila na may good side naman yung pagkamaldita ko." In fact, Vaness counts her StarStruck batch mates as her closest friends in show business! "Sila na ang nang-aaway sa akin!" Biro niya. Lahat raw ng babae sa batch nila, close sa isa't-isa. Pero sa guys, Vaness says ang pinaka-close niya ay sina Chuck Allie, "si Marky [Cielo], siyempre" at si Bugz Daigo. She says, "halos lahat kami sa batch namin, close talaga." At sa pagkakasunud-sunod ng kanyang projects, Vaness admits that she misses a lot of the friends she has made sa pagsali sa StarStruck. "Si Arci hindi ko nami-miss kasi palagi ko siyang kasama," Vaness tells us. Kuwento niya, lagi raw silang nagkakayayaan lumabas ni Arci dahil malapit lang sa isa't isa ang tinitirahan nila ngayon. "Si Chuck, sobrang nami-miss ko," she admits. "Kasi nasa Davao . Na-miss ko rin si Bugz, si Jana [Roxas] at saka si Rea [Nakpil]. Lalo na si Rea, kasi si Rea 'yung isa sa mga palagi kong katrabaho noon e." Vaness says, "nami-miss ko silang maka-trabaho ulit." Recently, nagkaroon ng mini-reunion ang mga alumni ng StarStruck sa kanilang pag-shoot ng isang special at ng isang episode ng All Star K to be aired after the auditions for StarStruck V. "[Halos] lahat ng batch nandoon!" She says she was happy to see Bugz again na lumipad pa raw papuntang Manila para lang mag-taping. "'Yun 'yung pinaka-reunion namin." She adds, "malamang sa final judgment ng V, magkakasama kami ulit." Kung gusto mong alamin ang latest happening kay Vaness, be updated through Fanatxt!
