"THE MISTRESS" A Film by Olivia Lamasan

A mistress is female lover or companion who is not married to her partner, especially if the later is married. It is not new in our society today, somewhere or someone is a mistress in a community we are living. Why did they exist? What if you become one? What if your husband has a mistress?. We can not tell what life would bring on us, but one thing I can really sure about, "Doing Wrong for the Right Reason is Still Wrong".

Today as Bea Alonzo-John Lloyd Cruz celebrating its 10th year anniversary as love team, their 7th team-up movie is also here, on the The Mistress. A Star Cinema gift for all Bea-Lloydie fan under the direction of Olivia Lamasan. The story is about struggle, battle and fighting for the one you love. 

Recently I had a chance to be included on the list of bloggers who were invited to attend the movies bloggers conference. We had a chance to ask the main casts about their insights and experiences about the movie and the title itself.

Bea played as Sari the mistress of Rico played by Ronaldo Valdez, which has a wife named Regina played by Hilda Coronel then JD comes into the scene when he fell in love with Sari and their world started to fall apart having each imperfect love story.

Bea Alonzo said "Hindi ko kakausapin yung kabit, i will not even go there, ang partner ko yung kakausapin ko.It takes two to tango", when asked about, what if she will encounter a mistress if their relationship. She reiterated that "More than anything, I want to know first the reasons behind why he did it to me and ano ang pagkukulong". She also said "Sabi ng nanay ko, you cannot seduce a happy husband" her mother's wisdom.

John Lloyd Cruz shared that "Hindi lang ito isang pelikula tungkol sa isang kabit, ang hirap lang ipaliwanag but there is more important thing about the film pagkanapanuod nyo po and sana give it a chance to see the film and give each character a chance to express what they feel".

Why did mistresses exist and that question was answered by the director Olive Lamasan saying "Kasi there are situations kung saan nangangailangan ang babae at napupunan ng isang lalaki, who might not be necessarily free having another relationship. But I believe that in every freedom is the responsibility to do what is right". And I strongly agree with that statement.

The writer of the movie Vanessa Valdez said "Kaya kong sabihin na ito ay isang pelikula na what I actually write is being said and can actually transcend"  and "I was writing it from the point of view of a child more than the somebody whose in-love, because the experience of a child is the more universal experience than the experience of romance."
