On July 20, Viva artist Sunshine Guimary clarified that she didn’t lie low from showbiz because of her love life.
At the story conference for ‘Hello, Universe,’ Guimary explained that there was a project that kept on getting delayed, which caused her brief hiatus from Viva projects.
“Hindi naman, hindi naman, kayo naman, nagka-love life lang. Maybe ano– may project na naudlot ng naudlot talaga. March, it should be ‘yun ‘yung sunod ng House Tour. Mayroon akong lead role na– ang daming excuses, ang daming hindi ko alam.
“Kaya sinabi ko kanina, kung hindi talaga meant for you ‘yung project, kaya naisip ko this time, this Hello, Universe is for me kasi napakagaan ng transitions ng schedules, ng lahat. So backwards, sunod ang House Tour, siguro hindi talaga para sa akin ‘yung project na ‘yun. Kaya ‘yun lang nakapagpahinga ng kaunti. And waiting pa rin kami na matuloy ‘yun.”
Guimary starred in sexy comedies, such as Kaka and Shoot shoot! Di ko siya titigilan!. She also starred in the thriller House Tour.
She then recounted her experience working amid the height of the pandemic and lockdowns.
“Una, I’m so proud na isa ako sa alam mo ‘yun, parang. Kami ‘yung parang– na-experience namin lahat ng transitions, especially ‘yung hirap part na kasagsagan ‘yun ng lock-down. Kami ‘yung bumangga sa bagyo ng pandemic. Nag-start kaming mag baon ng rice cooker, grocery. Tapos lahat ng bawal, naranasan.
“Pinaka-striktong level ng pandemic noong time na ‘yun and I’m so proud na naka-survive kaming lahat. Though may nagpositive sa set, at okay naman siya. Ligtas ang lahat matapos ‘yung buong pelikula, ‘yung Kaka.”
As for the new sexy stars under Viva, Guimary expressed how proud she feels of her fellow Viva artists.
“And I don’t ano sa competition, I never see to my co-star a competition. Yet, I’m so proud of them, kasi napakahirap mag-locked in shooting ng eight days. Napakahirap noon, proud na proud ako sa mga girls, especially ngayon na bumalik na ‘yung sexy movies.”
Now, Guimary joins the cast of the upcoming fantasy comedy film ‘Hello, Universe’ alongside Janno Gibbs, Anjo Yllana, Gene Padilla, Benjie Paras, Maui Taylor, MJ Cayabyab, Madelaine Red, Majo Lingat, and Joe Vargas.
Under the direction and screenplay of actor-writer-director Xian Lim, ‘Hello, Universe’ will be releasing a premiere date soon.
