Gloria Diaz is happy to announce she is to headline a new film.
On social media, the 72-year old described the said film a "sad comedy."
In it, she is to play an aging faith healer who is also a sex worker.
In an interview prior, Gloria shared how she feels only "too lucky" to have landed such a meaty role at this point in her career. "Kasi 'di ba, when I started movies I was not sure where to go but somehow God planned it for me and I’m still here, lumalaban pa,” she said. As to describing the film a "sad comedy," she explained, "Actually, the film is very sad na may drama and comedy. The comedy is nasa loob, hindi ‘yung comedy na hahalakhak ka. 'Di ba, ang comedy naman usually malungkot talaga?" The former Miss Universe is a bit worried about her not being able to deliver portraying a sex worker. She said. "Medyo kinakabahan talaga ako. Baka hindi ko makaya kasi hindi naman ako masyadong na-expose sa ganung mundo." Then again, she is more than ready to prove her mettle. "I’m so happy na at my age may mga ganito pa ring opportunity for me. "
