DREAM FACTORY

Two guys both named Paolo, Montalban and Bediones, have openly expressed their crush for Regine Velasquez, but she's not at all excited about it. "Why? How do you want me to react?" she says. "I-announce ko, sige, please, ligawan na nila ako! Mas dyahi naman 'yon, 'di ba?"

In her Manila Film Festival entry, "Pangarap Ko ang Ibigin Ka," she plays a woman who stalks the man she fancies, Christopher de Leon. Would she go to that extent in real life? "I'm an incurable romantic, but I really don't know to what lengths I'll go to get a man. Kasi, I haven't really met naman a guy who'd make me behave that way. But I know that if and when the right man comes, I'd be the best sweetheart imaginable for him, just as I am to Boyet in 'Pangarap Ko'."

She plays her most hilarious and adorable role ever in the film as Alex, an artist whose dreamboat is Raffy (Boyet), an IT expert who cannot forget his dead wife.

"Some people might think it's easy to portray Alex because funny ang dating ko. But the truth is, it's difficult to do it because you have to get the right mixture of hilarity and pathos for you to look real and not a ridiculous caricature. I'm lucky to have a circle of friends in the film who support me all the way, Lara Fabregas, John Lapus, and comedienne-singer Gladys Guevarra who's being introduced here, and with Marissa Delgado and Noel Trinidad as my ever supportive parents."
