Borgy open to acting?

By Chuck Smith | Yahoo! Southeast Asia Newsroom

Borgy Manotoc has always been known as a fashion model. But is he open to acting or entering showbiz?

“Maybe. In time,” he said during a press conference for the independent film “Pintakasi” last Saturday, January 28. “I’m open. I’ve always been willing.”

According to the 28-year-old model and entrepreneur, there have been scripts and concepts offered to him. However, Borgy said he hasn’t “really found the movie or the project for me yet.”

Borgy explained he is looking for a project that’s the “opposite” of sexy, something far from what people would expect from him.

“I think it has to be something more fun. Something light or even dramatic but not where I look like a model, basically,” he said. “I don’t want to look like myself. I feel like I have different sides to my personality.”

Borgy said that while vanity is one of the aspects of his personality as a model, he has more to offer than that.

“I don’t take things too seriously and I don’t need to always look my best. I’m more than happy to be interpreted in different ways,” he said.

Creative side

Still, Borgy would much rather work behind the camera even if being in front of it is not new to him.

“I like being in front of the camera but I think I much prefer being behind it,” he said. “I feel like I’ve come from the creative side of this industry before I was in front of the camera.”

In fact, Borgy is working on the merchandising side of “Pintakasi,” The said film, which won Best Picture in the New Wave section of the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival, was produced by his mother, Ilocos Norte governor Imee Marcos.

“It was shock for everyone because my mother walked away from the project for a bit, she went into politics. Then all of a sudden, the movie was entered into the film fest and it was fortunate enough to win Best Picture. So it’s been a domino effect from there,” he said on the success of the film.

He added, “I just wanna help out in the merchandising side. I’m very happy to take the imagery and branding of this movie and turn it into different kinds of merchandise.”

On settling down

Borgy says he’s beginning to feel the need to “re-prioritize your life and start to think about things in the future.” Does this include the pressure of starting a family? Borgy, after all, has been in a relationship with model Georgina Wilson for a couple of years.

“Not just yet. Georgina and I are both very much involved in our careers right now. That’s both our priority,” he said.

Borgy added, “We’re both very happy together but I think we still have some time to grow and we still have so many things to do.”

He said their two years together “doesn’t feel too long.”

“When your schedule is so hectic, we do our best to see each other. Obviously, things can be quite difficult some times. (But) things have gone quite smoothly the past couples of months,” Borgy explained.

“Pintakasi,” which stars John Wayne Sace, Erich Gonzales, and JM De Guzman, will have its screening on February 8 in select SM theaters in Metro Manila and on February 29 in SM Baguio, SM Davao, and SM Batangas.
