On November 22, Viva artist Rash Flores shared his thoughts on the value of virginity in a relationship.
During the media conference for the movie Palitan, Flores said that it didn’t matter to him whether his girlfriend retained her virginity or not.
“Siguro yan ‘yung [pagka]-virgin niya, kahit sabihin mong hindi siya virgin, siguro pag mahal mo talagang ‘yun. Basta love.”.
Flores recently worked in a Boys Love series, Jojowain o Trotropahin, before he starred in the Vivamax movie, Palitan.
Admittedly, Flores had encounters with indecent proposals, especially now that he stars in a sexy film.
“Kasi natural lang naman ‘yun eh. Hindi mo naman maiiwasan kahit anong klaseng ano ka, di ba? Minsan nga kahit sa mga actor na hindi naghuhubad, nakakatanggap sila ng ganon, pano pa kaya ako na first movie ko naghubad ako, tapos nag BL ako before, so expected na ‘yun so dapat prepared ka.”
He then shared his thoughts on doing a project with nudity involved, noting that he accepted the role because the award-winning director Brillante Mendoza spearheads their movie.
“Kung sa akin, bago ko gawin ito, hindi ko talaga alam na sobrang ano niya eh, tapos sinabi lang sa akin na, kaya mo bang maghubad? Sabi ko, okay lang, kaya ko naman po. Kasi sino ba naman ako para tumanggi sa isang director na si Brillante Mendoza. Kung ano pong gusto niyo gagawin ko po sa role ko, gagampanan ko po.”
He then revealed that he didn’t initially tell his family about accepting the sexy role in Palitan. However, he clarified that he discussed his character with his Mom after filming their scenes in the movie.
“Wala eh, hindi ko sinabi sa mother ko na may gagawin akong ganito. Pero, sabi naman sa akin ng family ko kung saan ka masaya, so go lang, gagawin ko.
“So, sinabi ko na lang after ng shoot, sabi ko, ganito ‘yung role ko, ganito, tapos tumatawa lang ‘yung mother ko.”
Flores stars alongside new Viva artists Jela Cuenca, Cara Gonzales, and Luis Hontiveros in Palitan. The movie is directed by Brillante Mendoza, streams on Vivamax on December 10.
