"I remember Mommy Vera [Azucena Vera Perez] got angry with me because
somebody reported that hindi ako marunong makisama [I didn't know how
to blend in] with the rest of the stars. And it's true. My only friends
then were
Eddie Romero, the director, and
Ric Rodrigo. I was suspended for one
week. But later, she fetched me from my home to talk to me. I told her
I didn't mix with some of the stars because one of them kept on talking
about sex all the time and I felt offended, so I chose to just read a
book of Ayn Rand during shooting breaks. She understood me but she told
me to try to mix well with the others." --recounting criticisms that
she was a snobbish upstart who refused to socialize with other stars in
the cast. Philippine Star interview, March 17, 2002.
