Let's Get Physical

That's what Lorna Tolentino and Chin-Chin Gutierrez did in their confrontation scene for the ABS-CBN soap Dahil May Isang Ikaw.

Lorna and Chin-Chin play mommy to Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa, respectively, in the soap.

Who was at the receiving end of that very realistic sampalan scene? Well, the script called for Lorna and Chin-Chin to slap each other twice. But Lorna got the brunt of it because Chin-Chin hit Lorna below the lips and left them bruised. Not content, Chin-Chin slapped Lorna so hard that her ring got caught in Lorna’s hair, pulling some of it in the process.

Go Green!

Stunned, Lorna continued with the scene even if she was in pain. Per the script, Lorna was supposed to only scream “Paalisin ang babaing ‘yan!” at Chin-Chin. However, the pain made Lorna momentarily forget that she's a grieving widow and uttered these lines instead: “Paalisin ang p----- g i---g babaing ‘yan!” and instinctively kicked Chin-Chin in the leg.

I don't watch Dahil May Isang Ikaw (c'mon it's Jericho Rosales (overrated) and Kristine Hermosa (mental)) but I saw this particular scene because the blogging gods and goddesses were smiling at me that night.

The profanity from Lorna must have been blipped out because I didn't hear it. The scene was abruptly cut, so I would tend to believe that the scene got so realistic, people at the shot entered the frame to separate their lead actresses.

I thought Chin-Chin’s mellow, a peace-sign exhibitionist, if you will. I thought Chin-Chin so loves nature her sweat is green. Chin-Chin got the cover of Time Asia for her green activism. She's known to commune with nature, even talk to plants. I read that vegetarian tends to be sanctimonious, anorexic and twatty but I just found out going green could make you go postal.

So what got into Chin-Chin Gutierrez? Aww, she probably found out that Lorna abused a plant in her garden so she meted out her own justice by getting a piece of Lorna.

Chin-Chin reportedly apologized after a while and even prayed over Lorna, you know the “hand over head thingy while you mumble?”

If I were Lorna, I would have taken several plants hostage and demand that Chin-Chin apologize sincerely, or else.

This may not be the end of the Lorna vs Chin-Chin saga because Lorna is not amused, yo.

Expect to see Chin-Chin’s character meet a car accident where her body will not be recognizable. Also expect to see a reincarnation of Chin-Chin’s character in another actress, who according to the script, had to have a plastic surgery to change her face and exact her revenge on Lorna’s character.

Lorna will emerge triumphant and the old Chin-Chin character in a straight jacket is escorted by men in white to a white padded cell with no windows. The End.

In the actual, Lolit Solis, the manager of Lorna Tolentino, is waiting for a lone Chin-Chin in the back alley of ABS-CBN ready to ask for anything na mahaharbat.
