Bangs Garcia on Allen Dizon: "Karumal-dumal, nakakakilabot ang ginawa niya sa pagkababae ko"

Kapamilya actress Bangs Garcia is now shooting for her first title-role movie Lauriana, an entry to the Sineng Pambansa Film Festival 2013 of the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP).

According to Bangs, Lauriana is her most daring film to date. The movie, directed by Mel Chionglo from the script of award-winning writer Ricky Lee, is a period film set during the 1950s about a Philippine Constabulary soldier and his wife. Tackling dark obsessive love, sex, jealousy, as well as violence against women and children, the movie's plot is based on a true story.

"Sexy 'yung love scenes namin, pero 'yung scenes na pinapahirapan ako ni Allen [Dizon] dahil sa sobrang pagseselos niya that borders on obsession, nasaktan talaga ako. Talaga namang karumal-dumal, nakakakilabot ang ginawa niya sa pagkababae ko," said Bangs in her Journal interview.

"It’s my first mature role, I’ve never done the scenes na pinagawa sa’kin dito. I’ve done love scenes with Jake Cuenca on TV, pero naka-tube ako. Dito, naka-plaster lang ako," added Bangs who plays a baylerina (dancer) who fell in love with a PC captain played by Allen Dizon.

Bangs' fans are now excited to see the movie, not just because of her sexy scenes (which according to some reports will have some breast exposure and a scene of putting a chastity belt on her) but also to see the sexy actress broaden her horizons in acting.

Bangs Garcia, who has won a Gawad Pasado Best Supporting Actress trophy, is back on the radar to bag awards for her role in Lauriana. Bangs said that being a second choice for the role does not matter as she saw the movie as a big challenge.

"I want to go up sa next level ng pag-arte with this movie. Feeling ko, dito, naging tunay na aktres na ako. Feeling ko, kahit sexy ang movie namin, I won’t be considered just as a sexy actress. Magiging respectable pa rin ako and Lauriana is something I can always be proud of."

The Sineng Pambansa Film Festival is scheduled to open 2nd week of September 2013.

Star Power grand champion Angeline Quinto will soon be launched as a teleserye actress with Kahit Konting Pagtingin where she will be paired with Sam Milby and Paulo Avelino.

Just recently, the main cast of Kahit Konting Pagtingin had their story conference and pictorial for the upcoming ABS-CBN project.

Also present in the story conference are Joonee Gamboa, Jordan Herrera and two new teen stars.

Based on the cast and the photo outtakes, the series will be a romantic comedy of sorts but online fora also do not exclude the possibility that it will have an element of music as the main leads are also recording artists.

Although Sam will be part of the series, his teleserye with Judy Ann Santos titled Against All Odds is still a go, which according to reports will be served second quarter of 2013.

It seems like ABS-CBN is grooming Angeline Quinto as the next multimedia star. Well, are you excited to see Angeline in her very first teleserye opposite Sam Milby and Paulo Avelino?

Bangs Garcia, Afternoon TV's Well-Loved Bida-Kontrabida

Sexy Kapamilya actress Bangs Garcia is grateful for her fierce ‘bida-kontrabida’ role as Mia in the country’s no.1 afternoon TV drama, “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo.”

According to Bangs, who is also part of Star Cinema’s latest barkada movie “The Reunion,” she is amazed until now with the huge ratings success of their teleserye in ABS-CBN. “We saw the gradual rise of our show’s ratings but what pleases us more is every time we learn how attached the viewers are with our story, including the Pinoy viewers abroad who can relate with the characters,” said Bangs.
