Katrina Halili Had Fun Slapping A Former Miss World, Megan Young, In 'The Stepdaughter' That Starts Airing On Monday, February 12

KATRINA HALILI is back to playing her usual kontrabida role in "The Stepdaughters" where she will make life miserable for Megan Young. Megan plays Mayumi, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who has a degree in chemistry and dreams of having her own makeup product line someday. Katrina is Isabelle, an only child and self-centered spoiled brat who manages her family's own makeup line called Coco Bella. They become stepsisters when Megan's mom, Glydel Mercado as Luisa, marries Isabelle's dad, Gary Estrada as Hernan.

As maybe expected, Katrina doesn't like the idea and she will do everything to hurt Glydel and her daughter, Megan. But Megan will not take things sitting down and both will fight for what they think is rightfully theirs: honor, love and the love of one man, Mikael Daez as Francis. Also in the cast are Allan Paule as Mayumi's father, Mario; Angelu de Leon as Katrina's mom, Brenda; Sef Cadayona as Mikael's friend, Bryce; Samantha Lopez as Gary's executive assistant, Daphne; and Dion Ignacio as Mikael's prodigal older brother, Froilan. The new drama series is under the direction of Paul Sta. Ana.

We ask Katrina how is it working with the former Miss World in "The Stepdaughters" that is replacing "Impostora" starting this coming Monday, February 12?

"Okay siya," she says. "Siempre, dahil soap ito, may sampalan scenes kami and I told her na kaya kong pekein ang sampal ko. Sanay ako mag-fake kasi nagagawa namang mukhang totoo at malakas ang sampal sa TV kahit fake lang. Pero siempre mismo ang nagsabi, 'Kat, hindi ko kayang mag-fake. Totohanin mo na.' And people on the set said, mahaba ang eksena, kung pepekein nyo at maging mali ang dating ng pekeng sampal, then ire-retake pa buong scene, so tinotoo na nga namin. I'm glad na game siya. Siempre, special privilege 'yun sa'kin. Miss World yung nasampal ko."

Someone said she's probably envious because their leading man in 'The Stepdaughters', Mikael Daez, is Megan's real life boyfriend, while she doesn't have one. She swears she has no new lovelife since she broke up with Kris Lawrence, the dad of her love child.

"Bakit naman ako maiinggit e mas tahimik ang buhay ko ngayon. Hindi naman ako naghahanap at ni hindi nga ako lumalabas ng bahay. I'm just a homebody at puro trabaho lang ako. Imina-match ako ng friends sa mga kakilala nilang lalaki pero ayoko. Okay na ko as of now. But I believe na balang araw, may darating
naman sigurong Mr.Right na mamahalin ako pati na ang anak ko. Bahala na si Lord diyan."

As of now, she'd rather devote her time to her daughter. "Ayokong makikita ng anak na may pumupuntang lalaki sa bahay. I'm worried about sa kung anong magiging impression niya sa'kin kung makikipagrelasyon ako. Kaya happy na ako sa pagiging single."
