<p>Almost six years since she was first paired up with Empoy Marquez in the hit romantic comedy <em>Kita Kita, </em>Alessandra de Rossi shared why their new film together, <em>Walang KaParis</em>, will be something totally different.</p><p>“Kasi sa <em>Kita Kita </em>it was a two-week love story di ba? Meet cute, ganun. Dito sa <em>Walang KaParis</em>, mahaba yung love story. So medyo malalim yung love. At saka <em>Kita Kita,</em> as ourselves kami dun. Yung kahit anong i-adlib ni Empoy puwede, ganun. Ako din. Pero dito may character kami na pino-portray na malayong malayo sa buong pagkatao namin. So it was an acting piece.</p><p>“Sabi ko kay direk, ‘Acting piece ito ah. kaya ba ni Empoy?’ Sabi niya, ‘Kaya ko na yan, ako pa ba?’ Tapos habang nag-shu-shooting kami, sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Kaya mo pa ba?’ (laughs),” she shared during the <em>Walang KaParis </em>media event.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/3/6/empoy-marquez-and-alessandra-de-rossi-reunite-in-new-film-walang-kaparis-1105"><strong>READ: Empoy Marquez and Alessandra de Rossi reunite in new film ‘Walang KaParis’<br/></strong></a></div><p>Alessandra said she did not think twice about accepting the reunion project of “Alempoy,” her “love team” with Empoy, because it meant she would be working again with <em>Kita Kita</em> director Sigrid Andrea Bernardo.</p><p>“Wala eh, written and directed by Sigrid. May mga iba din kasi na nag-offer after <em>Kita Kita </em>pero parang di ko naman na-feel na yun yun. Pero for this, tama lang si Sigrid eh. You cannot beat <em>Kita Kita.</em> Kasi ang <em>Kita Kita,</em> magic yun eh. So wala namang papantay sa magic. And napaka-ungrateful naman kung gusto mo pa ng mas bongga pa doon. Pero kung magiging mas bongga ito dun aba eh congratulations sa inyong lahat (laughs). Kasi di ba ganun ka naman dapat mag-isip lagi?” she said.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2019/9/17/fresh-scoops/kita-kita-gets-an-indonesian-remake-39126"><strong>READ: ‘Kita Kita’ gets an Indonesian remake</strong></a></div><p>With the success of their tandem onscreen, the <em>Walang KaParis</em> star explained why she thinks their tandem has been accepted so warmly by Alempoy fans.</p><p>“Kami yung pair na hindi kami masyado nagpapa-good masyado. Hindi rin kami nagpapa-sweet. Basta kami yung true lang talaga kami. Hanggang dito na lang kami. Mas totoo siya. Hindi siya dalawang mahirap abutin. Yung Alempoy naman feeling ko nagustuhan siya ng tao kasi pareho kaming simpleng tao. Dito ibang Alempoy na kasi ito. Higher level kami. Hindi na siya cutesy cutesy like <em>Kita Kita</em> na two-week short-lived romance and then may tragedy, ganun,” she explained.</p><p>While shooting in Paris, Alessandra shared one of her favorite memories on the set.</p><p>“Ang dami masyado para sa mga pinagdaanan namin ni Empoy. Ang tumatak sa akin is may isang scene na sobrang tagal bago niya nakuha. Ang tagal talaga tapos nakapag-shopping na ako sa mall sa tapat, ganun. Parang, andun pa rin sila? In fairness ha, hindi pa rin na-ge-gets ni Empoy. Tapos the following day after lunch, nakatulala siyang ganun, sabi niya, ‘Malungkot pala yung kinunan kong eksena?’ Dun pa lang niya na-process, the following day pa (laughs),” she recalled.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/3/8/empoy-at-alessandra-de-rossi-muling-bibida-sa-walang-kaparis-push-daily-1506"><strong>WATCH: Empoy at Alessandra De Rossi, muling bibida sa ’Walang KaParis’ | PUSH Daily<br/></strong></a></div><p>Even with the entertainment industry full of romantic films and shows, Alessandra shared why movies like <em>Walang KaParis</em> is worth watching. She also admitted that the film changed her in so many ways.</p><p>“Hindi ko alam bakit may nagsasabi niyan. Siguro it’s really about the story naman. Baka kasi minsan sa romance gasgas na gasgas na siya so minsan paulit ulit na lang talaga siya. Pero as a person, (after shooting) I learned to focus on myself. Hindi lang always out to please others,” she said.</p><p>With <em>Walang KaParis</em> set to be streamed online this month, Alessandra shared why she is thankful it will be available online.</p><p>“We’re happy. One, pandemic, two, sabay sabay makakapanuod worldwide. Hindi katulad dati na yung mga abang ng abang na gusto nila maging part din sila ng gang. Ngayon anytime, anywhere mapapanuod na siya,” she added.</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>
