Valerie Concepcion returns to acting via an episode in Precious Hearts Romances presents Bud Brothers. ABS-CBN.com visited the set of the romance teleserye in Tagaytay where Valerie revealed that she had missed acting. “Kumbaga ito ‘yung first series ko kasi when I moved to ABS-CBN ang nagawa ko lang Wowowee, Maalaala Mo Kaya, Banana Split. I did a movie last year, One Night Only. Medyo matagal na din akong hindi nakaka-act so medyo nangangapa na ako. I’m happy that I get to act again kasi dun naman talaga ako nag-start bilang artista. Nakaka-miss din umarte.”
In the upcoming episode, Valerie will play the feisty Hiromi. She described her character as someone very much different from her real self and the host that viewers see everyday on Wowowee. “Si Hiromi lagi siyang galit. Inis na inis siya sa mga Bud Brothers kasi magkalaban sila ng flower shop. Lagi ko silang sinusugod and ang lagi kong nakakaharap e si Ed, si Manuel (Chua). Lagi kaming nag-aaway at sobrang tapang ko dito, ‘yung tipong lagi akong nagpapaputok ng baril, sigaw ako nang sigaw, masungit. Malayo siya sa totoong Valerie na tawa nang tawa sa Wowowee.”
The original plan was to pair Valerie with model Will Devaughn, but after a cast revision, she was paired with Pinoy Fear Factor hunk Manuel instead. Valerie said that she doesn’t have a problem working with a newbie actor or with anyone. She revealed that at first Manuel felt very shy around her, so she made an effort to make him feel comfortable. “Nahihiya siya sa akin, hindi ko nga alam kung bakit e. Nung workshop pa lang namin napansin ko na na nahihiya siya. So after the workshop kinuha ko ‘yung number niya and I texted him kung kamusta na siya, malapit na taping natin ready ka na ba, just to make him feel comfortable sa akin. Kaya nung taping medyo hindi na siya nahihiya.”
Now, Valerie and Manuel have become good friends. They both have daughters from each of their previous relationships, and parenting is the usual topic that they would talk about during their breaks on the set. Having more experience in acting, Valerie said that she is making sure that she establishes a good chemistry with Manuel on and off the screen. “Okay lang naman na baguhan ‘yung kapartner ko. Ako nga matagal nang hindi umaarte so nung workshop nagta-trust na lang ako sa instinct ko at sa advice ng director. Also wala naman akong karapatan na i-judge ang kahit sino lalo na kapag baguhan. Minsan kapag line reading binibigyan ko siya ng tip sa kung paanong mas tamang expression. Si Manuel naman magjo-joke na, ‘Sorry, typo error lang,’” Valerie laughingly revealed.
Valerie and Manuel will be having a love scene for their episode in Bud Brothers. The actress-TV host said that she is ready for the love scene although she doesn’t think about it that much. “Wala akong love scene dito, maarte ako e…joke! May love scene pero hindi pa nashu-shoot. Hindi naman ako masyadong kinakabahan. It’s just work. Siguro dun na lang sa eksena, kung ano na lang ang sabihin ni direk. I know naman na maganda ang kakalabasan nung scene.”
Valerie told ABS-CBN.com about the time when the production team played a prank on her by telling her that she will have to shoot the love scene with Manuel. “Nung first taping day namin together ni Manuel sinabi sa akin na kukunan na daw ‘yung love scene. Nagulat ako, tanong ko, ‘Are you serious?’ kasi siyempre hindi pa nga kami nagkakapalagayan ng loob ni Manuel tapos love scene agad. Pero joke lang pala, tapos nun biniro ko si Manuel sabi ko sa kanya ‘O, mag-toothbrush ka na!’”
