Ruffa Gutierrez is the next featured star in '5 Star Special'

AFTER Maricel Soriano's portrayal of
five different characters in TV5's
weekly drama anthology 5 Star Special,
TV host-actress Ruffa Gutierrez steps up
to the plate starting this Monday,
April 26.

At the media conference prepared for the
next featured star in 5 Star Special, Ruffa said that she is looking forward
to this project.

"Well, I'm very excited," she
said. "Coming from Ms. Maricel Soriano, it's a big challenge for me
na ako naman ang susunod. Siyempre, lahat kami. Siguro, team
work din with the creative team. Ako, nagbibigay din ako ng input, our
writers and the directors. Hopefully, it'll be so successful
and we'll come up with good stories
for everyone."

For five consecutive Mondays, Ruffa will
play different roles each
episodes —which include a miserable
housewife, a prisoner-rape victim, an
evil boss, a scar-faced lady who wants to make a revenge, and someone who sees
ghosts. These episodes will be
directed by popular TV and movie
directors such as Joey Reyes, Laurice
Guillen, Joel Lamangan, Eric Quizon, and
Argel Joseph.

"You know, I wanna do more in terms of
projects. Kasi, a lot of the
movies I've done at mukhang cute
naman sa akin, it's all
comedy. I wanna be able to
showcase also my abilities in drama,
especially ang dami ko nang pinagdaanan
lately. So, dito ko maiso-showcase 'yon," said Ruffa about her
intention to let the public know what
else she can offer as an actress.

For the first episode directed by Eric
Quizon, Ruffa will be reunited with
Zoren Legaspi after their team up in Shake, Rattle and Roll in the 2009
Metro Manila Film Festival.

She plays the role of "Sally", a housewife

herself because she was very dedicated
in her small business. Soon,
she'll find out that her husband
(played by Zoren) is leaving her for a
younger and sexier woman named "Iris" (played by Carlene Aguilar). However, with the help of a friend
(played by Joanne Quintas), Sally will
regain her self-confidence.

back her husband from Iris in the
