Ako yung nag-announce na, ‘Pa-in love-in si ate Sari!’ Nakakatawa yung eksena na yun. Dito, parang pampaskit siya ng ulo ng ate niya (laughs). Parang siya rin yung magbibigay ng konting lalim sa dynamics ng mga sinacrifice ni ate and mga pinagdaanan niya in life</em>,” she added. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/articles-videos/10-fun-facts-about-karina-bautista-23767"><strong>READ: 10 fun facts about Karina Bautista </strong></a></div><p>Testifying to the strong chemistry between the two lead stars, Karina said that the love team KimPau is really worth watching on screen.</p><p>“<em>I’m so happy that I get to witness KimPau also as well siyempre as an inspiration and a stepping stone na rin towards that dream. Sa set kasi minsan pag medyo lumulutang na po yung brains ko, kasi sobrang happy kasi talaga sa set namin, pag medyo mga madaling araw (laughs</em>),” she recalled. </p><p>In the film, Karina is paired with fellow Star Magic artist Jermiah Lisbo. In a previous interview, she shared, “<em>Thankfully, it was Miah (Jeremiah’s nickname). Since nagka-work na kami, medyo mas madali na lang to work with, comfy na rin kami sa isa&#x27;t isa. So parang yung naging dynamics namin is supportahan, if kailangan mo ng help, nandito ako, and vice versa</em>.”</p><p>During the press conference for the film, Karina shared her views on ghosting in a relationship and why she would never be the one to do something like that.</p><p>“<em>I don’t think na may times na nag-di-disappear ako. I think when it comes to love, maybe nasa age range din namin na may pagka-never give up pa kami. Like we always want to keep trying and see if it works out. Pero siyempre, kapag dumating na yung time na it’s really not working na and parehas na kayong nahihirapan, I think love isn’t supposed to be hard. It’s supposed to be soft and kind. Disappear ka na kung sobrang hirap na hirap na siya</em>,” she explained. </p><p><em>My Love Will Make You Disappear</em> opens in cinemas starting March 26 under Star Cinema. Directed by Chad Vidanes and written by Prime Cruz. It stars Paulo Avelino, Kim Chiu, Wilma Doesnt, Lovely Abella, Benj Manalo, Karina Bautista, Martin Escudero, and Migs Almendras.</p>
