Toni uninformed on pullout of MMFF entry

MANILA – Actress Toni Gonzaga said she has yet to be formally informed about the reported pullout of her upcoming movie, “My Super Kap,” from this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival. “Wala pang sit-down, wala pang pormal na sinabi ni Tita Malou [Santos, Star Cinema managing director], wala halos talaga. Nagulat na lang ako na sabi na na-announce sa TV, pero wala pa talagang formal na sit-down about the movie,” Gonzaga told entertainment website Pep.ph. Last week, MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino said the film was pulled out due to conflicts in the schedules of Bong Revilla’s leading ladies -- Gonzaga and Ai Ai delas Alas. Revilla added that they won't be able to beat the deadline because of the film's special effects. “Hindi ko talaga alam kaya hindi ko masagot. Hindi ko talaga masagot 'yan. Kasi before, 'yung mga schedules na meron ako, matagal ko nang schedule naman na 'yun so hindi ko talaga alam kung ano talagang dahilan,” she said. The film, which was one of the eight official entries for this year's MMFF, will be moved next year. Instead of dwelling on this issue, Gonzaga said she’d rather focus first on her movie with Piolo Pascual. “Okay naman, masaya, naka-four shooting days na kami. We’re getting more and more comfortable with each other, mas lumalapat na si Jeannie sa akin at si Marco sa kanya. Mas nagkakaroon na kami ng connection sa pelikula,” she said. Aside from her movie with Pascual, Gonzaga also regularly appears on “The Buzz,” “ASAP” and “The Voice of the Philippines.”
