Parang iniisip ko na &#x27;hindi, nandiyan lang siya sa amin.&#x27; Malapit lang siya sa amin parang isang village lang. So hindi ko pa din natatanggap kahit na ganoon na. Parang iniisip ko na lang, hindi totoo,&quot; she said.</p><p>The actress said it was her father who broke the sad news to her.</p><p>&quot;Parang ayaw ko pa ding maniwala kagabi kahit nakauwi na ako. Hanggang ngayon, siguro kahit na tumagal ayaw kong maniwala. Iniisip ko lang na baka wala kaming project together,&quot; she sad.</p><p>In the interview, Magdangal also shared her memories about the well-loved director.</p><p>&quot;Hindi lang sa showbiz, kaibigan ko siya. Dati nung bata pa ako hindi ako pinapayagan ng parents ko hanggang siya ang magpapaalam para sa akin. Ganoon kami. Tapos ang dami niya sa aking ibinibigay na advice. Although nung lumipat ako nawalan kami ng communication, pero nung bumalik ako parang hindi kami nagkahiwalay ng 12 years,&quot; said Magdangal.</p><p>Meanwhile, Magdangal said she is dedicating her new song &quot;Ganito Pala ang Pag-ibig&quot; to Deramas.</p><p>&quot;Sobrang saya lang niya at sa dami ng nagiging problema natin araw-araw, never niyong makikita si Direk Wenn na malungkot. Sa totoo lang nango-okray pa nga siya ng mga tao na kahit na ino-okray niya, mahal pa din siya kasi alam nila na panlabas lang &#x27;yon. Alam nila kung gaano siya ka-generous na tao. Kahit na ang tagal ko na sa showbiz at kahit mayroon akong heartaches na sinasabi sa kanya dati eh ang ganda pa din ng advice na ibinibigay niya sa akin. Ipinapakita niya sa akin na ang ganda ng buhay,&quot; she said.</p><p>&quot;Very special talaga sa akin si Direk Wenn. Malaki ang naitutulong niya sa akin &#x27;di lang sa pagkatao ko kung hindi sa trabaho din.&quot;</p>
