| | Angelica Panganiban and Roxanne Guinoo don't mind being second choice Author: Bernie Franco Banana Split stars Angelica Panganiban and Roxanne Guinoo said that they don't feel bad about being second choices to original cast members Kristine Hermosa and Anne Curtis who had to give up their slots because of prior projects. The two said that they just feel grateful for the work, which they say is also enjoyable.
For her part, Roxanne said that she looks beyond one's amount of exposure on the show, explaining that there are no big or small roles. "Ang importante is may trabaho ako, and hindi ako namimili ng trabaho eh," the actress said. "Ang itinuturo nga sa amin sa workshop, walang maliliit na artista. Ang importante kung paano mo iaangat ang sarili mo. Kung paano mo gagawing mag-shine."
Angelica supported her co-star's sentiment, saying that she has been looking forward to starring in a gag show like Banana Split. "Thankful ako kasi blessing ang tingin ko dito, 'di ba? Kasi gustong-gusto kong magkaroon ng show na ganito na para ngang gag show kasi simula ng bata ako, nagdadrama ako nang nagdadrama, so gusto ko ng ganito kagaan na trabaho," the actress said.
She also revealed that she knew about the gag show since last year, but that it had gotten postponed. "Nabanggit sa akin last year pa pero hindi siya natuloy. Nalungkot talaga ako, so ngayon na bumalik na siya, sobrang happy talaga ko."
Banana Split's all-female cast also includes Valerie Concepcion, Cristine Reyes, RR Enriquez, Dianne Medina, and Princess Ryan. With all these pretty ladies in one show, have there been issues of jealousy and cat fights? Roxanne clarified that although have their differences, they were able to form healthy working relationships. "Lahat kami, iba-iba ng personality pero nagja-jive," she began. "Kaya naman walang kompetisyon dito. Minsan nga nangangapit-bahay pa kami sa dressing room. 'Yung mga issues before, mabababaw na issues. Tsaka tumatanda na po kami at hindi na namin dapat patulan 'yung mga ganun. So masaya po at yung show na ito masaya talaga. Binigyan nila kami ng chance na i-enjoy namin ang ginagawa namin para maging mas natural."
