If I do that role again now, kalimutan nilang magfo-47 ako, kunwari isipin na nila na puwede pa akong pumasang 17 years old, I would love to the role again. And I think I would sing it better. I would portray it better because of my experiences as a mother,&quot; she explained.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W0_wyvu3xz8?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div><p><br/> <br/>Currently, Laforteza is part of ABS-CBN&#x27;s &quot;Flower of Evil&quot; which premiered over the weekend.
