Ritz Azul admits that her new TV character has a very tough decision to make.
In “For Love or Money”, TV5’s intriguing new weekly drama series, she plays a recently married woman who is suddenly offered P10 million by a mysterious millionaire (Alice Dixson) in exchange for lending her husband (Derek Ramsay) to the latter for 10 straight days.
“Mapapaisip ka talaga kasi ang laking pera naman talaga nung offer,” the actress admitted to InterAksyon in a recent interview. “Pero at the same time, mahirap din namang ibigay o kahit ipahiram ang asawa ko kapalit lang ng pera. Feeling ko mukha akong pera kung gagawin ko yun. Isa pa, lagi din akong mag-iisip pag nandun na siya, ano na kayang ginagawa nila dun, baka nakalimutan na niya ako.”
Thankfully, Ritz does not see herself making that decision in real life anytime soon. The TV5 primetime princess is proud to admit that she still has no idea what’s it like to be married, let alone have a boyfriend even though she’s already 19.
Which is also why there was a little apprehension on her part when she thought about how she would attack the role of Roselle.
“Kasi sa ‘Misibis Bay’ nakaka-relate pa ako kasi single pa rin yung character ko dun. Dito sa ‘For Love or Money’, may asawa na talaga, may experience na,” she confessed.
She added that the mature nature of the project also has a slight effect on her working relationship with her leading man, Derek Ramsay.
“Medyo naging awkward nung una kasi iba yung environment namin nung magkasama kami sa ‘Kidlat’. Medyo light lang ang mood dun at madalas kaming magbiruan. Although comfortable na rin naman akong katrabaho si Derek, dito sa project na ito, mas serious acting na ang expected sa amin,” she explained.
Ritz, however, said she doesn’t feel awkward at all when it comes to working with Alice Dixson, to whom she first became close when they first worked together in “Glamorosa” in 2011.
“Si Miss A, nanay-nanayan ko yan sa ‘Glamorosa’ at mas marami akong eksena sa kanya kaysa kay Miss Lorna Tolentino kaya I’m very happy to work with her again,” she added.
With three big series (“Kidlat”, “Misibis Bay” and now “For Love or Money”) to her credit, Ritz reflected on what a great year 2013 has turned out to be for her.
“Masaya ako sa mga projects na ibinibigay ng TV5 sa akin. I still hope to do a film soon. May mga offers naman na indies kaya lang hindi nga lang tumutugma sa schedule ko ngayon pero okay lang yun,” she noted.
Aside from film, Ritz still hopes to realize her dream of becoming an international beauty queen like her “Misibis Bay” co-star and reigning Miss World Megan Young. She said she considers winning the Mutya Ning Kapampangan title in her native Pampanga in 2011 as a high point in her life.
But given that her acting career is very much on the upswing right now, her dream to represent the country in an international beauty pageant may have to wait a little longer.
“Tingnan natin kung magkaroon ng chance pero mas maganda kung hinog na ako at mas may training na pagsabak ko dun. I still have five years pa naman,” she said in reference to most beauty pageants’ age limit of 24 years old.
Directed by Mac Alejandre and also starring Edward Mendez, Ricci Chan, Rea Nakpil and Mara Lopez, “For Love or Money” premieres Thursday, October 17 at 8PM on TV5.
