Alexa Ilacad —Photo by MARINEL CRUZ Alexa Ilacad will be shooting a movie soon, but her onscreen partner, KD Estrada, will not be part of it. “I feel that the story can stand on its own, and my character doesn’t need a love interest. The story revolves around family love,” Alexa told Inquirer Entertainment after she attended the recent story conference of Randolph Longjas’ “Mujigae.
” “KD is excited for me. I was able to tell him that this is sort of a significant acting piece for me. I’m excited to do something and grow as an actor and individual because my partner is not with me.
” Alexa and KD have been love team partners for three years now. Their teamup was launched soon after their stint as contestants of the reality show “Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10” in 2021. “Of course the project is a blessing for me.
I’m honored to be chosen for the role. I don’t feel any pressure because the people I will be working with showed me nothing but warmth. From the looks of it, it’s going to be a riot, but in a good way.
It’s a drama film, but we have a lot of light moments, especially with Ms Rufa Mae around,” Alexa explained. Other cast members include comediennes Donna Cariaga and Cat Cortez, as well as Kate Alejandrino, Lito Pimentel, Peewee O’Hara, Lui Manansala, Rolie Inocencio, Ryrie Turingan as Mujigae and Korean actor Ji Soo. It is a production of Unitel Straight Shooters (UXS Inc.
) with Madonna Tarrayo as executive producer and Noem.
