MANILA -- Following the release of "My Ex and Whys" teaser, many netizens reacted to Liza Soberano's "pangit ba ako?" line.

Some jokingly claimed that they felt insulted: "Kung si Liza pangit, e paano pa kami?"

At the official media launch of "My Ex and Whys" on Wednesday, Soberano said she never expected that the scene will attract much attention. "Hindi ko in-expect na magiging viral 'yong line," she said.

Yet she is very happy with the scene, which took them eight hours to shoot.

"I was so nervous [during the shoot]. I wasn't talking to anybody," she recalled. "After that, I was so relieved that finally I was able to do it, and I hope I did it well."

"My Ex and Whys" director Cathy Garcia-Molina said she even hugged Soberano after the long taping. This, after she noticed that the 19-year-old actress really had a hard time finding "hugot" for the scene.

"Nahirapan po siyang hugutin kasi never pa niyang na-experience," Garcia-Molina said.

The veteran director said she gave enough time for Soberano to do her best and to prove that she is ready for heavy drama scenes.

"It's her scene. It's the highlight of the movie, ayoko naman pong ipagkait kay Liza ang pagkakataon na magawa niya ng maganda 'yong scene," she added.

Starring Soberano and Enrique Gil, "My Ex and Whys" will hit theaters on February 15.
