In an interview with reporters at the Ginebra Calendar Girl launch Tuesday, September 29, where she was announced as the new model, Arci said that Ellen and Ejay remain good friends following the Star Magic Ball incident.
“Hindi ko alam kasi I wasn’t there so I really cannot answer for them. Pero ang alam ko they are really good friends. Binu-bully lang ni Ellen ‘yung si Ejay. Lagi silang ganun sa set. Cute lang.”
(I really don’t know because I wasn’t there so I really cannot answer for them. But I know they are good friends. Ellen just loves to bully Ejay. They’re always like that on set. It’s cute.)
When asked who between Ejay and Paulo Avelino is a much better match for Ellen, Arci said:
“Kung saan siya happy, support ako sa kanya. Magbibigay ako ng advice, comments pero hanggang dun lang ako. Up to her pa rin, siya pa rin magdedecide sa dulo,” she said.
(Wherever she’s happy, I’ll support her. I can give her advice, comments but only until there. It’s up to her to decide in the end.)
Arci said that she considers Ellen one of her best friends in the industry and wanted nothing but the best for her.
“Ellen is Ellen. She is very transparent about everything. I appreciate the most ‘yung pagiging totoong tao niya. (she is true to herself) ‘Yung what you see is what you get. I love her just the way she is.”
On being a Kapamilya
Arci said that she is very thankful to ABS-CBN for giving her another chance to pursue her dream of being an actress. After TV5 didn’t renew her contract, she admitted that she almost quit showbiz.
“Lahat na (ng network) napuntahan ko. Nung hindi ako ni-renew sabi ko maybe it’s not the time, maybe I’m not really meant to be an actress, baka maging rock star na lang ako, baka ‘yun talaga yung para sa akin.” (I went to all the networks. When my contract was not renewed, I said maybe it’s not the time, maybe I’m not really meant to be an actress, maybe I should be a rock star, maybe that’s for me.)
However, she eventually landed the role of Norma Elizondo opposite Jake Cuenca’s Juan Samonte.
“Hindi naman talaga overnight ‘yung success, talagang journey ‘yung importante. Sobrang natuto talaga ako, lalo ngayon na kapamilya na ako. In that short period of time, ang dami nilang naituro sa akin and I will cherish that forever,” she said. (Success is really not an overnight thing. What’s important is the journey. I really learned so much now that I’m a Kapamilya. In the short period of time, they’ve taught me so much and I wil cherish that forever.)
Ginebra’s 2016 calendar girl
When she was tapped to be the newest face of Ginebra, Arci said that she did not have second thoughts about the endorsement, even if it meant wearing a two-piece bikini. Although she was uncomfortable doing seductive poses in front of the camera, Arci said that photographer Jay Tablante and the Ginebra representatives made sure that everything turned out classy.
“Ginebra naman kasi nagstand naman siya (really stands) for classy girls like Anne Curtis, Georgina Wilson, Solenn Heussaff, Marian Rivera, Ellen Adarna. ‘Di sila basta basta nagse-sexy. (They just don’t pose sexy.) May taste bawa’t shoot namin,” she explained.
“Hindi naman ‘to sobrang (This is really not as) daring, cute lang. It also reflects my personality. May mga binigay rin akong mga input ( I also had some input).”
Arci said that she was very surprised when she saw outcome of the shoot.
“Hindi kasi talaga ako marunong magpose, mejo boyish ako eh. But it came out okay! Saka ‘yung nakita niyong video, walang in-edit. Hindi lang ako humihinga d’yan,” she joked. (I really don’t know how to pose. I quite boyish. But it came out okay! And when I saw the video, there were no edits. I just did not breathe for a while.) – Rappler.com
