<p>After the success of his 2017 romantic comedy film <em>Kita Kita </em>with leading lady Alessandra de Rossi, actor Empoy Marquez shared his first reaction after he got the script for their second film together <em>Walang KaParis</em>.</p><p>“Hindi naman talaga ako nagbabasa ng script talaga. Mula nung nag-artista ako way back hanggang ngayon hindi talaga ako nagbabasa ng script. Pero nung binasa ko yung script, tiningnan ko lang. Finast forward ko. Tapos tinawagan ko na si direk. Sabi ko, ‘Direk, ang ganda.’ Kasi drama talaga siya. Sabi ko, ‘Kaya ko ba yun?’ Inisip ko sa sarili ko. Sabi ni direk, ‘Akong bahala, ganyan, ganyan.’ Yun na,” he shared.</p><div><a href="http://Empoy Marquez and Alessandra de Rossi reunite in new film ‘Walang KaParis’"><strong>READ: Empoy Marquez and Alessandra de Rossi reunite in new film ‘Walang KaParis’</strong></a></div><p>Empoy also admitted that his working relationship with leading lady Alessandra has also gotten better now that they have worked together previously.</p><p>“Siguro sa <em>Kita Kita </em>nagkakapaan pa kami nun. Ngayon, kapang kapa ko na siya. I mean, kilala na namin yung isa’t isa at comfortable na kami sa isa’t isa na mag-work. Talagang nag-iisa lang si Alex,” he 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>During the media roundtable interview held earlier this month, <em>Walang KaParis</em> writer and director Sigrid Andrea Bernardo revealed that her lead stars were actually guided by a very distinguished acting coach, Dolly de Leon. Empoy shared just how close he got to the BAFTA and Golden Globe nominated actress.</p><p>“Actually pag uwi namin ng PIlipinas napapanaginipan ko pa rin siya. Sabay kami nag-quarantine ng ten days. Nag-aabutan kami ng pagkain (laughs),” he revealed.</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>Empoy shared that he was happy that their film would be available for streaming instead of having a cinematic run.</p><p>“Kasi nakakatuwa sa Prime magbabayad ka lang ng monthly, yung buong family mo makakapanuod na na sabay sabay kayo,” he said.</p><p>The <em>Walang KaParis</em> actor said that he does not have one favorite scene because the entire movie is memorable to him. He also explained why romantic films are still worth watching today.</p><p>“SIguro para sa akin yung mga tao kasi matatalino na ngayon pagdating sa movie at saka sa pag-ibig. Gusto nila yung mga makabagong teknolohiya na madi-discover nila na meron pa palang mga ganung storya na maibubuga yung mga bagong mga direktor, mga writer, ngayon. Ganun,” he 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>
