MANILA—The new teen star, Liza Soberano will be working with leading man Enrique Gil in Star Cinema’s upcoming film, “The Bet.”

The teen star said in an interview with ABS-CBN News that she already did some workshop and story conference for the movie which was based on the hit book written by Kimberly Joy Villanueva.

“Nag-story con kami, nag-script reading at after that nag-bonding kami, nag-karaoke kami. Sobrang saya at nakilala namin ang isa’t isa sa workshop. Nung una nahihiya ako, feeling ko hindi ko sila masyadong ka-close nung una, nung medyo tinutukso nila ako and everything medyo nag-warm na,” she shared.

(We already did story conference, script-reading and after that we had a karaoke bonding.

I’m so happy that we have known each other in the workshop. At first, I was really shy; I thought I will never be close to them.

At first they were still teasing me, now the atmosphere is already getting warmer.)

“It’s really fun to be with him especially on set kasi kahit pagod na siya ay nagapapatawa pa din siya so hindi ka din mapapagod sa kanya (because even when he is so tired already he will still crack jokes so you won’t get tired),” Soberano added.

The movie is about the main character, Drake, who bet that he will make Sophia fall for him in just 30 days.

“I’m really, really happy and nervous at the same time, kasi nga (because) I didn’t start out as bida (the main character) sa teleserye (in a teleserye) so it’s going to be harder for me to adjust to this. Kasi, (Because) when it’s a movie, it’s a really big thing and people pay to watch. You really have to be good kasi ayaw mo naman na ma-upset sila kapag napanood nila (because you don’t want them to get upset while they are watching),” Soberano said.
