My Lady Boss lead stars excited for the showing of the much-anticipated film

June 21 2013

Originally slated for release last April 10, expect a better and more polished version of My Lady Boss as it premieres on July 3.

At the press conference for the much anticipated film, lead stars Richard Gutierrez and Marian Rivera shared their excitement over the upcoming screening of My Lady Boss.

Marian shared, “Ang tagal na po nito, naudlot nang naudlot dahil sa maraming dahilan, at marami ding kasabayan, so siguro naman sa pagkakataong ito, mas na-edit ng maganda at mas mahabang panahon para maging maayos siya.”

Richard echoed Marian’s statement and added, “Finally, ipapalabas na ang My Lady Boss. Excited na kaming ipalabas ito. ‘Yung trailer namin, parang sabi nga namin, parang nag-improve! Parang mas nalagyan ng mas maraming material at mas nakabuti pa iyon sa pelikula namin. Ako mismo, excited na mapanood ito.”

The Kapuso actor also clarified, “Hindi ito ang last movie ko dahil nakakontrata pa ako sa GMA films and I have to honor that contract. Kung kailan man ‘yung sunod kong pelikula, tignan na lang natin.”

Regarding his future plans, Richard admitted, “Yes, I’m planning to take a break dahil ito ‘yung perfect opportunity for me to assess and unwind. Nag-end ‘yung contract ko sa GMA Network after 11 years ko na magtrabaho sa kanila. I can say that I’ve lived a full career in GMA Network and I think now’s the right time for me to step back, assess myself, see where I want to be and let’s see. I’m not closing my doors on anything. ”

Marian Rivera was not spared from intrigues during the press conference, and was asked about her alleged feud with Regal matriarch, Mother Lily Monteverde. According to Marian, “Kilala naman natin si Mother Lily. Alam kong mahal na mahal ako niyan, siguro misunderstanding lang. Tapos, malaki ang utang na loob ko kay Mother. For sure nagtatampo lang iyan, hindi galit naman siguro.”

After answering a couple of intrigues, the director and stars of My Lady Boss were asked about their expectations for the film.

The Lady Boss herself was quick to respond, “Mahirap din po kasi umasa sa mga bagay-bagay, lalo na ngayon na iba na rin ‘yung mga perception ng tao. Ang importante sa amin, nagawang mas maganda pa, inenjoy namin siya, at sana tangkilikin din ng tao.”

Richard added, “Feeling ko, mag-eenjoy ‘yung mga taong manonood dahil matagal nila kaming hindi nakita ni Marian. Kung ano man ‘yung naging goal namin, na gawing masaya itong pelikula na ito sa manonood, sana ganun din ang maging reponse nila.”

For Direk Jade Castro, “Hindi ko mahulaan, pero hoping na tangkilikin ng marami ang palabas dahil mag-eenjoy sila. Nakakatawa siya, romantic siya and ibang Marian at Richard ang makikita niyo dito sa movie. Nag-eexpect ako ng positive response. “
