At ATC Healthcare’s 10th anniversary Saturday, October 10, Kim admitted that she felt a bit disappointed with Kris’ decision. She added that she was looking forward to doing the movie, saying that it had been years since she was part of the festival since Shake, Rattle and Roll X (2008) and I Love You, Goodbye (2009). 

“Nung pinost nya ‘yung ‘I’m sorry, I’m a jerk’ sa Instagram. Sabi ko, ‘Ate, hindi ka ganun.’ (Sister, you aren’t like that.)  

Irespeto na lang natin siya. Siguro naman naka-gain na siya ng respect from each and everyone sa industriyang ito and sa mga fans niya.”

(Let us respect her. I would think that she has already gained respect from each and everyone in this industry, and her fans.)  

Kim also gave a short statement about rekindling her friendship with Maja Salvador. The two have since reconciled after their controversial rift over Gerald Anderson. Maja and Gerald recently broke up. Before dating Maja, Gerald dated Kim.

“Friends talaga kami, saka maganda mag-forgive kaysa may burden ka sa buong buhay mo. Mas masaya mas walang kaaway,” she said.

On upcoming movies, Piolo Pascual 

Although Kim refused to reveal details of a possible upcoming movie, the actress shared that she will be more than thrilled if heartthrob Piolo Pascual could be her leading man. She added that she has always wanted to do a movie with him.

Kahit sino naman gustong maging leading man si Papa P [nickname for Piolo]. Parang ‘pag artista, ang gusto mo talagang leading man kapag tinanong ka, ‘Papa P.’”

(Anyone would want Papa P to be her leading man! When it comes to an artist, you’d choose Papa P to be the leading man, if asked.) 

Kim also shared that they were all surprised when Piolo agreed to do a cameo in her movie, Etiquette for Mistresses. (READ: ‘Etiquette for Mistresses’ Review: Surprisingly refreshing

Mild spoiler alert: In the film, Piolo appears at the end as Kim’s love interest after she leaves her previous relationship. 

Biglaan nga ‘yung pag-aya sa kanya kasi ‘yung ending sabi nila naghahanap kami ng leading man. Nung tinanong si Papa P sobra kaming happy and sobra kaming thankful na pumayag siya talaga.”

 (It happened in a rush, for the ending, they were saying that we needed to find a leading man. We were very happy and thankful that Papa P agreed to the part.) 

When asked how her love team partner and rumored boyfriend Xian Lim reacted to the possibility of her doing a movie with Piolo, Kim said that he is happy for her. She added that Xian is also busy with his new movie, where he is paired up with Angel Locsin.

Umiikot-ikot naman ‘yan. Pero meron din kaming project na kaming dalawa, ‘yung teleserye namin next year.”

(It’s all a cycle. But we do have a project together, our TV series next year.) – Rappler.com
