Loisa Andalio and Carla Abellana are part of this MMFF 2025 movie
Young actress Loisa Andalio talked about working with Kapuso actress Carla Abellana for the first time.
Loisa is one of the many celebrities in the Philippine entertainment industry whose career started through the Kapamilya reality show Pinoy Big Brother. Over the years, she has done various TV and movie stints.
This year, she had the chance to be part of the Metro Manila Film Festival entry Shake Rattle and Roll. For the horror film’s episode titled 1775, Loisa got excited when she learned that she would portray the character of the sister of Carla’s character.
The young actress admitted in a recent interview, based on the article in Pang-Masa, that Carla Abellana is her “idol.”
Loisa Andalio shared that she felt nervous. “Kinakabahan din po ako kasi karamihan po sa mga cast, si ate Carla, pinapanood ko po talaga ‘yung mga shows niya sa GMA. Tapos naka-work ko na siya,” the actress said.
She added that aside from the nervousness that she felt, there was pressure on her part. “Mas kinabahan po ako sa mga eksena namin kesa sa character po talaga,” she revealed.
When asked what Carla’s project was that she watched, Loisa said that Rosalinda was her favorite.
Carla was asked about her experience filming their episode for the horror movie. She admitted that she felt the eerie vibe, and she felt the darkness.
“Nung panahon po ng 1775, kandila lang po ang ilaw. Mararamdaman ninyo po ‘yung setting dahil sa mga historical locations po kami nag-shooting, including Intramuros,” she shared.
The Kapuso actress added that how they looked in the movie added the eerie vibe, from their costume and makeup to the production design, which all gave them a “kilabot” feeling.
Loisa Andalio echoed this and said that the older actress was able to sum up the environment they had on the set of their movie, but they were happy filming the film. On the other hand, as the camera was rolling, it was a different thing already. “Pero syempre, ‘pag action na, ayun na po ‘yung takutan, dumidilim na, pinapatay na ‘yung mga ilaw,” she shared.
