I brought my staff - my family na makakasama niya na lagi ko mga kasama. Ganun din si Vice magiging parte ng family. Kumbaga getting to know each other. I like the idea kasi pangit sa first day lang magkita-kita ‘di ba?” she said.
The female director also said that working with Vice also started her beautiful friendship with the box office comedian.
“It was fun. Movie-filled talks about love and friendship. Sinimulan na namin dapat kaming magkakaibigan para magtranslate sa film. Ipokritang sabihin na ‘di namin gusto mag number one. Alam natin magagaling ang ibang entries good competition kasi, makikinabang audience lahat ng viewers at nagpapagandahan ang pelikula.
