<p>With her 1995 family drama classic film <em>Inagaw Mo ang Lahat sa Akin</em> being the latest installment of Mga Hiyas ng Sineng Filipino, Snooky Serna admitted it brought back a lot of good memories of her working with her co-stars Maricel Soriano, Tirso Cruz III, and Eric Quizon.</p><p>“Naaalala ko at saka na-se-senti ako kasi naaalala ko yung mga kaganapan behind the scenes parang nanumbalik ba (laughs). Tapos ngayon na pinanuod ko siya ulit, it has a fresh take on me. Para bang pinanunuod ko ulit siya for the first time ulit. Ganun ka-timeless yung pelikula. It’s a classic and I’m honored to be a part of it,” she shared during the <em>Inagaw Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin</em> special screening , co-organized by the Film Development Council of the Philippines&#x27; (FDCP), at the Manila Metropolitan Theater (MET).</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp902xqv4Pb/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp902xqv4Pb/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;align-items:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:40px;margin-right:14px;width:40px"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:100px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:60px"><br/></div></div></div><div style="padding:19% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:block;height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"><br/></div><div style="padding-top:8px"><div style="color:#3897f0;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding:12.5% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:center"><div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(0px) translateY(7px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;height:12.5px;transform:rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px);width:12.5px;flex-grow:0;margin-right:14px;margin-left:2px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(9px) translateY(-18px)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:8px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:20px;width:20px"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:2px solid transparent;border-left:6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom:2px solid transparent;transform:translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:auto"><div style="width:0px;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(16px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;flex-grow:0;height:12px;width:16px;transform:translateY(-4px)"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(-4px) translateX(8px)"><br/></div></div></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:24px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:224px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:144px"><br/></div></div></a><div style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp902xqv4Pb/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Push (@pushalerts)</a></div></div></blockquote><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/11/9/fresh-scoops/snooky-nagsisi-sa-pagtalikod-sa-pangako-sayo-role-203557"><strong>READ: Snooky Serna, pinagsisisihan ang pagtalikod sa iconic role sa orihinal na ‘Pangako Sa’Yo’<br/></strong></a></div><p>The film’s story focuses on the  intense sibling rivalry between sisters Jacinta (Maricel) and Clarita (Snooky), following the latter&#x27;s return to their humble provincial home years after leaving for the city in search of a better life. One of the most iconic scenes in the film involves the two of them getting into a very physical fight which ended up with Snooky getting a black eye.</p><p>“Parang feeling ko anim na beses nangyari yung paikot ikot.

Wala talaga kaming technique kung panao mag-away eh. At saka yung character ni Cel (Soriano) nandun na siya na parang possessed na siya eh.
