Kapuso celebrities Pokwang and Glaiza De Castro quickly bonded while shooting their debut movie together, "Slay Zone" produced by Wide International.

"Ang surreal eh. Hanggang ngayon parang hindi pa nag-si-sink-in sa akin until nakita ko si Mamang (Pokwang) sa story conference namin. Tapos noong naka-eksena ko na siya, oh my gosh! Nanginginig ako!" said Glaiza, who plays a social media influencer in the upcoming film, during an interview for "24 Oras" on GMA Network recently.

(It's surreal. Until now it didn't seem to sink in until I saw Mamang (Pokwang) at our story conference. Then, when I had her in the scene, oh my gosh! I was shaking!)

Pokwang, on her role as a policewoman, said: "Dream come true na mag portray ako na isang pulis. Sa mga interview ko noon, sinabi ko na gusto kong maging pulis, gusto kong maging sundalo. Pero dito natupad. Bilang artista, responsibilidad po namin pag-aralan yung character namin. Sa Hollywood nga di ba, three months before or six months before the shooting, halimbawa ang role nila ay strip dancer, pumupunta talaga sila sa club at pinag-aaralan talaga nila. So kami dito sa Pilipinas kailangan din namin pag-aralan ang role namin. Siguro tatambay muna ako sa Camp Crame. Pero siguro kakausapin ko yung mga kaibigan kong pulis para sa paghahanda sa character."

(It's a dream come true to portray a policeman. In my interviews before, I said that I wanted to be a policeman, I wanted to be a soldier. Now it happened. As actors, it is our responsibility to study our character. In Hollywood right, three months before or six months before the shoot, for example, if their role is a strip dancer, they really go to the club and they really study their character. So here in the Philippines, we also have to study our role. Maybe I'll hang out at Camp Crame first. But maybe I'll talk to my police friends for character preparation.)

The popular comedian also mentioned that she never fails to arrive on the set on time.

"Maaga po ako lagi. Tutoo po yan. Halimbawa ang call time ay 6, mga 5 andun na po ako. Tumutulong na po ako sa pagka-ayos ng set. Mas gusto ko po yung ako na lang ang naghihintay kesa ma-stress ako sa traffic. Kape lang po masaya na ako. Huwag kang mag-aalala direk, masunurin kami," Pokwang also said.

(I'm always early. That's true. For example, the call time is 6, I'm already there at 5. I'm already helping with the set. I'd rather be waiting than being stressed in traffic. I'm happy with just coffee. Don't worry, Direk, we'll be obedient.)

Pokwang added: "Challenging din sa akin ito. Tapos katrabaho ko ngayon si Glaiza at ang mga eksena nito sa teleserye laging trending. Aminin n'yo yan!" (It's also challenging for me. Now I work with Glaiza, and her scenes in the teleserye are always trending. Admit it!)

Glaiza and Pokwang admitted they became instant best friends in their first project together, directed by Louie Ignacio.

"Hindi kami nagko-comedy rito. Maganda ang mga eksena at magandang bata ito (Glaiza). Ibang klase ang mata ng batang ito. Ang mga mata nito eh," said Pokwang.

"We are not doing comedy here. The scenes are challenging, and this (Glaiza) is a beautiful child. Her eyes are beautiful.)

Glaiza added: "Napaka-alaga niya at ang dami niyang baon. Ang sarap ng mga kuwento niya. Ang dami niyang baon. Meron siyang parang magic box." 

(She is very caring and brings lots of food on the set. She tells us many interesting stories. She has a magic box.)

Both stars also expressed excitement about promoting the movie on several TV programs.

"Tawiran kami (sa mga TV shows). Exciting!" said Pokwang.

Glaiza added: "May opening number kami sa mga TV shows."

Director Louie Ignacio said he is excited to work with Pokwang and Glaiza on one project.

"Excited ako dahil first time ko makatrabaho si Mamang. Si Glaiza matagal na kaming nag uusap. Sabi ko gawa kami ng pelikula pero hindi naman kami matuloy-tuloy. Dream ko silang makatrabaho kasi aside from their track record sa industriya na magagaling silang actress, malaking luwag sa isang director na makatrabaho mo yung magagaling."

(I'm excited because it's my first time to work with Mamang. Glaiza and I have been talking for a long time. I said we should make a movie and it has always been like that. It's my dream to work with them because aside from their track record in the industry, they're good actresses, it's a big relief for a director to be able to work with great ones.)

"Kami naman ni Mamang, halos every week nagkikita kami niyan. Nagkukulitan kami pero sa trabaho hindi pa kami nagsasama so excited ako kung paano siya makatrabaho. So gusto kong ma-discover yung mga galing nila sa paghandle ko sa kanila. Excited sobra," Louie added.

(Mamang and I, we see each other almost every week. But haven't worked together yet so I'm excited about how to work with her. So I want to discover how good they are when I handle them. I'm very excited.)
