Without batting an eyelash, director Ruel S. Bayani said actresses Angel Locsin and Angelica Panganiban deserve the best actress trophy from this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival for his film "One More Try.""Siyempre ang mga tao sasabihin si Ate Guy (Nora Aunor) 'yun at wala namang laban 'yung dalawang bata. Pero hindi ganoon ang buhay. Ang buhay paggising mo may laban ka," Bayani said during the press conference of Star Cinema’s “One More Try” on Wednesday.
As early now, film enthusiasts are predicting Aunor to bag the Best Actress award for her performance in Brillante Mendoza's "Thy Womb."
"Alam naman namin na magaling si Ate Guy," Bayani said. "Kaya sabi ko, 'Lahat na gawin niyo, hindi naman maghuhubad si Ate Guy sa pelikula... sa sampalan, walang sampalan doon. Itodo niyo na, kabugan, sapakan.' Pero dahil sobrang professional nung dalawa, paki-quote nyo ako, 'Yes, may laban si Angel at Angelica for best actress.'"
For their part, Panganiban and Locsin, while agreeing that Aunor is a great actress, said they also stand a chance of winning.
"Yes, may laban kami. Naniniwala kami na may himala," Panganiban said.
"Siyempre kahit paano umaasa kami na sana ma-appreciate... siyempre si Ate Guy 'yun... pero 'yung effort na ibinigay namin sa pelikulang ito, si Angelica masasabi ko napakagaling dito at ako 'di nagpatalo. Pero masasabi ko itong film fest na ito ay maraming mabibigat na pangalan, kaya sana po ay panoorin niyo," Locsin said.
In the interview, Bayani was also confident to say that "One More Try" is better that his blockbuster hit "No Other Woman," which starred Cristine Reyes and Anne Curtis.
"The pressure is always there but I tell you this is a better movie than 'No Other Woman.' I will say this it's my best movie so far," Bayani declared.
"Both movies are special but I must say na noong binuo ko siya and then they will put 'a film by Ruel Bayani' for the first time saka lang ako pumayag," he said.
Like other Metro Manila Film Festival entries, Bayani also believes that they will do well at the box office.
"Nakita ko na ang mga films, I must say what an honor to be in this batch of entries. ...Naniniwala kami at pinapanindingan namin ang aming mga pelikula at naniniwala kami this is the best movie. Bakit naman namin sasabibin na we are second best," he said.
“One More Try,” which also stars Zanjoe Marudo and Dingdong Dantes, opens in theaters nationwide on December 25. By wanderer || Full Story: Kapamilyalogy
