Sue Ramirez gets candid about mom’s health, misses heartfelt conversations

“Pinaka-nakakatawang nangyari, noong na-confirm ko na si Rico ang gaganap, nakasalubong ko siya sa mall—as in out of the blue. Kausap ko pa best friend ko, ‘Bes, mayroon kaming project ni Rico, tuwang-tuwa ako.’ Pagbaba ko ng mall, nandoon si Rico. Sabi ko, ‘Grabe si Lord, He works in mysterious ways.’ Sa dami ng araw na makikita ko si Rico, noon pa. We said hi, tapos sabi ko, ‘O, magwo-work tayo together. Oh my gosh, I’m so excited,’ and the rest is history.”

Sue admitted she still finds it surreal that she got to work with Rico.

“Nakakakaba, actually. ’Yong presensiya lang kasi ni Rico—wala naman talaga siyang gini-give off na energy na kailangan mong matakot—but siyempre, kilala na natin siya. Icon si Rico. I’m very privileged that when he learned it was me, pumayag siya.

“I know na umaarte si Rico. Napanood ko siya sa ‘Lobo,’” she said. “’Di bago sa akin at ’di ako nagulat na umaarte pala siya, pero never sa buong buhay ko, sa buong filmography ko, na na-imagine ko na I’ll be with him in a romcom project. Never in my wildest dreams.”

When asked if Rico would be a good choice as a sperm donor, Sue agreed, citing the reactions of netizens who want to be in her character Sandy Montecillo’s shoes.

“Oh my gosh, sobrang daming nagpi-prisinta. I think ang dami. Doon pa lang sa dami ng viewers ng trailers at photos namin—’yong comments ng mga tao, gusto nilang maging si Sandy Montecillo. Gusto nilang malagay sa sitwasyon ni Sandy na, ‘Wow! May option ako na magpabuntis kay Rico Blanco.’ Nakakatawa, but I do think he’ll be a great father if he chooses to be.”

Sue also shared how happy and satisfied she is in her relationship with Dominic Roque. When asked hypothetically if she would be open to liking someone like Rico if Dominic were not in her life, she dismissed the idea.

“’Di ko alam, ’di ko iniisip na wala si Dominic eh.”
