MANILA — A self-confessed showbiz fan girl, Sue Ramirez remembers vividly the first time she saw Jodi Sta. Maria in person, when the latter happened to be at her subdivision to film scenes for an ABS-CBN teleserye back in 2009.
Now, over a decade later, the two are set portray rivals, as the lead stars of another ABS-CBN teleserye — an opportunity Ramirez is admittedly still processing. In ABS-CBN’s version, Ramirez will portray Lexy Lucero, the “other woman” who ruins the family of Dr. Jill Ilustre, portrayed by Sta. Maria.
Watch more in iWantTFC That Sta. Maria, an actress she only once looked up to, is now her co-star, is one of many reasons Ramirez considers her role in the series as her “biggest so far” with ABS-CBN. “Ang daming magagandang artista, ang daming magagaling na artista, but ako talaga ‘yung napili nila for this. Wala akong ibang maramdaman noong mga panahon na ‘yun kung 'di pagpapasalamat dahil doon sa tiwala,” Ramirez said.
