Kylie Verzosa at Marco Gumabao
PAPASUKIN nina Marco Gumabao at Kylie Verzosa ang mundo ng mga sugar baby, sugar daddy at sugar mommy sa pamamagitan ng pelikulang “Baby Boy, Baby Girl”.
Muling magtatambal ang dalawang Viva Artists Agency artists sa bagong obra ni Direk Jason Paul Laxamana na tatalakay sa kontrobersyal na Sugar Dating websites sa internet.
Ayon kay Kylie, magkahalong kaba at excitement ang naramdaman niya nang ialok sa kanya ang pelikula na medyo sensitibo ang tema lalo pa’t kuwento ito ng mga sex workers.
“I was surprised so what I did is do my own research about it. Our director, Jason Paul Laxamana, told me there are websites about sugar dating so I took a look and I interviewed my friends about it.
“So I learned, ah okay, may nangyayari naman pala talagang ganito and my first reaction is we cannot just judge the people who do it.
“Most of them have their own reasons and I became more compassionate with them,” pahayag ng beauty queen-turned actress sa naganap na mediacon ng “Baby Boy, Baby Girl” kamakalawa, March 6.
Aniya pa, “It’s not only the sugar babies but also their sugar daddy or mommy who needs understanding.
“Kasi parang sponsor lang sila and, in their transaction, they don’t necessarily want to have sex but just friendship or companionship kasi they’re lonely,” paliwanag ni Kylie.
Natanong naman si Kylie sa presscon kung hindi ba siya naisipang ligawan ni Marco matapos silang magtambal sa ilang acting projects.
“Marco and I have been good friends for six years. We done TV series like ‘Los Bastardos’ and movies like ‘My Husband, My Lover’, and although he is very attractive, I just want to keep our being good friends.
“I’m happier with what we have now, as it makes it easier for us to work together. I really admire him as an actor as he really works hard to be good in his craft.
“I want to be prepared for this movie so before we started shooting, I asked him to meet with me so we can study our roles together and magbatuhan kami ng lines.
“It really worked well for us kasi alam na namin what to do when we get on the set,” paliwanag ng dalaga.

Samantala, bumilib din si Kylie kay Direk JP, “I’ve seen most of his past films and I admire his work kaya I got excited to get to work with him.
“I really enjoyed working with him sa ang galing niya sa storytelling and he’s very funny kaya masaya kami sa set,” sabi ng aktres.
Inamin naman ni Direk Jason na nu’ng una ay may reservation pa siya kung babagay kay Kylie ang role niya sa movie, pero nang nagsimula na silang mag-shooting, doon niya napatunayan ang versatility ng aktres.
“I saw her past films and I was very impressed, lalo na sa ‘Ikaw Lang ang Mahal’ where she played a dying girl. Sa shooting, I saw her discipline and determination to be in her character.
“Ibang Kylie ang ipapakita niya rito. She shows she’s good in goofball comedy and in chick flicks like this,” sabi pa niya.
Kasama rin sa “Baby Boy, Baby Girl” sina Giselle Sanchez bilang sugar mommy ni Marco, Rey Abellana as Kylie’s sugar daddy, and Yen Durano, Gino Roque, Migo Valid and Andrea Babiera as the other sugar babies.
Showing na ito sa lahat ng sinehan simula sa March 22.
