<p>Ayon kay Kylie Verzosa, magkahalong kaba at excitement ang naramdaman niya nang i-offer sa kanya ang pelikula <em>Baby Boy, Baby Girl</em> ni Direk Jason Paul Laxamana.</p><p>siya dahil medyo sensitibo ang tema ng pelikula dahil papasukin nila ang mundo ng mga sex workers na ginagawa ang lahat ng paraan para kumita ng pera.</p><p>Si Kylie at ang kanyang co-star na si Marco Gumabao ay mga sugar babies sa pelikula na magkakaroon ng kaugnayan sa kanilang mga benefactor—sugar daddy for Kylie at sugar mommy naman kay Marco.</p><p>“I was surprised so what I did is do my own research about it. Our director, Jason Paul Laxamana, told me there are websites about sugar dating so I took a look and I interviewed my friends about it.</p><p>“So I learned, ah okay, may nangyayari naman pala talagang ganito and my first reaction is we cannot just judge the people who do it.</p><p>“Most of them have their own reasons and I became more compassionate with them,” pahayag ng beauty queen-turned actress sa naganap na mediacon ng <em>Baby Boy, Baby Girl</em> na ipapalabas sa mga sinehan sa March 22.</p><div><strong></strong><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/10/kylie-verzosa-celebrates-31st-birthday-1207"><strong>BASAHIN: Kylie Verzosa celebrates 31st birthday</strong></a></div><p>Dagdag pa niya, “It’s not only the sugar babies but also their sugar daddy or mommy who needs understanding. Kasi parang sponsor lang sila and, in their transaction, they don’t necessarily want to have sex but just friendship or companionship kasi they’re lonely.”</p><p>Single pa rin hanggang ngayon si Kylie pagkatapos nilang maghiwalay ni Jake Cuenca. Kaya hindi maiwasang tanungin kung hindi ba siya niligawan ni Marco na ilang beses na rin niyang nakasama sa ilang acting projects.</p><p>“Marco and I have been good friends for six years. We done TV series like <em>Los Bastardos</em> and movies like <em>My Husband, My Lover</em>, and although he is very attractive, I just want to keep our being good friends,” depensa agad ng former Miss International.</p><p>“I’m happier with what we have now, as it makes it easier for us to work together. I really admire him as an actor as he really works hard to be good in his craft,” sabi pa niya.</p><p>Bilang paghahanda sa kanilang muling pagsasama, gumawa ng extra effort si Kylie para mas mag-work pa ang chemistry nila ni Marco.</p><p>“I want to be prepared for this movie so before we started shooting, I asked him to meet with me so we can study our roles together and magbatuhan kami ng lines.</p><p>“It really worked well for us kasi alam na namin what to do when we get on the set,” paliwanag ng dalaga.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/3/9/marco-gumabao-may-inamin-tungkol-kay-cristine-reyes-1617"><strong>BASAHIN: Marco Gumabao, may inamin tungkol kay Cristine Reyes</strong></a></div><p>Hanga naman si Kylie kay Direk JP na isa rin sa dahilan kung bakit niya tinanggap ang pelikula.</p><p>“I’ve seen most of his past films and I admire his work kaya I got excited to get to work with him. I really enjoyed working with him sa ang galing niya sa storytelling and he’s very funny kaya masaya kami sa set,” kuwento ng aktres.</p><p>Ayon naman sa direktor, nu’ng una ay may reservation pa siya kung babagay kay Kylie ang role niya sa movie, pero nang nagsimula na silang mag-shooting ay napatunayan daw niya na versatile naman pala ang aktres.</p><p>“I saw her past films and I was very impressed, lalo na sa<em> Ikaw Lang ang Mahal</em> where she played a dying girl. Sa shooting, I saw her discipline and determination to be in her character.</p><p>“Ibang Kylie ang ipapakita niya rito. She shows she’s good in goofball comedy and in chick flicks like this,” paglalarawan niya kay Kylie.</p><p>Kasama rin nga pala sa <em>Baby Boy, Baby Girl</em> sina Giselle Sanchez bilang sugar mommy ni Marco, Rey Abellana as Kylie’s sugar daddy, at sina Yen Durano, Gino Roque, Migo Valid, and Andrea Babiera na gaganap ding mga sugar babies.</p><div><style rel="stylesheet">.scroll-wrapper {-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;}.scroll-wrapper iframe {border: none;}</style></div><div class="scroll-wrapper"><iframe id="MegaControllerIframe-1677806795789" style="width:100%;min-height:480px" src="https://controller.megaphonetv.com/?m=tqu4z&amp;iswebpoll=true&amp;poll_id=active"></iframe></div><script type="text/javascript">!function(){class e{constructor(t,s=null){this.type=null,this.fieldName=t,this.fieldValue=s,this.originMessageID=`${(new Date).getTime()}_${Math.random()}`,this.systemID=e.SYSTEM_ID}toPlainObject(){return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this))}}e.GET="GET",e.SET="SET",e.RESPONSE="RESPONSE",e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK="LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK",e.SYSTEM_ID="MP_FIRST_PARTY_DATA_BRIDGE";class t extends e{constructor(t,s,a=null){super(t,s),this.status=a,this.type=e.RESPONSE}}function s(){try{if("undefined"==typeof localStorage)return!1;try{return localStorage.setItem("testkey","testvalue"),localStorage.removeItem("testkey"),!0}catch(e){return!1}}catch(e){return!1}}if(window&&window.addEventListener){const a=document.getElementById("MegaControllerIframe-1677806795789");new class{constructor(){this.targetOrigin="*",this.bubblingMessages=new Map,this.beginListeningForMessages()}beginListeningForMessages(){window.addEventListener("message",this.messageListener.bind(this),!1)}messageListener(a){if(a.data.systemID!==e.SYSTEM_ID)return;let i=a.data.type,n=a.data.fieldName,r=a.data.fieldValue,g=new t;if(g.originMessageID=a.data.originMessageID,i===e.GET)g.fieldName=n,s()?this.handleGet(n,a.source,g):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.SET)s()?this.handleSet(n,r):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK)s()?this.handleLocalStorageCheck(a.source,g):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.RESPONSE){const e=this.bubblingMessages.get(a.data.originMessageID);null!=e&&(this.bubblingMessages.delete(a.data.originMessageID),e.source.postMessage(a.data,this.targetOrigin))}}handleGet(e,t,s){s.fieldValue=localStorage.getItem(e),s.status=200,t.postMessage(s.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)}handleSet(e,t){localStorage.setItem(e,t)}handleLocalStorageCheck(e,t){t.status=200,e.postMessage(t.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)}checkForBubble(e,t,s){!function(){try{return window.self!==window.top}catch(e){return!0}}()?(s.status=403,s.fieldValue=null,t.postMessage(s.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)):this.bubbleMessage(e,t)}bubbleMessage(t,s){this.bubblingMessages.set(t.originMessageID,{message:t,source:s}),t.type!==e.GET&&t.type!==e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK||setTimeout(this.handleBubbledMessageTimeout.bind(this),4e3,t,s),window.parent.postMessage(t,this.targetOrigin)}handleBubbledMessageTimeout(t,s){this.bubblingMessages.has(t.originMessageID)&&(this.bubblingMessages.delete(t.originMessageID),t.status=404,t.type=e.RESPONSE,s.postMessage(t,this.targetOrigin))}};window.addEventListener("message",function(e){e.data.hasOwnProperty("height")&&(a.style.height=(parseInt(e.data.height)+1).toString()+"px")},!1)}}();</script>
