A Very Special Love director Cathy Garcia-Molina might put herself unintentionally in trouble when she willingly answered a question throwed by showbiz columnist Ogie Diaz during the movie's presscon at Burgoo restaurant last June 24.Ogie asked Direk Cathy, "Sino ang ayaw mo munang makatrabaho kasi ayaw mo nang ugali o ayaw mo ng attitude sa set?"
"Sa lahat po ng mga artistang nakasama ko na, wala po. Pero merong nakasama ko bilang AD [assistant director], si Richard Gomez, and I will never work with him again. Noong AD ako, oo, masyado akong nasaktan sa kanya and I am not ready to work with him yet. And I think he doesn't want to work with me, so okay lang." Direk Cathy replied.
Direk Cathy then recall what was really transpired that time, "Nag-ugat ito noong panahon na assistant direktor pa lamang ako. Naipon lang with the way he treated my staff, my director, and myself. So, hindi lang personal.
It was a very small ano... feeling ko nga hindi alam ni Richard na nasaktan niya ako, e. Siguro lang at that point, hindi rin kami ganun ka-close para matanong ko, kasi kung nagkataong si John Lloyd ang nagsabi sa akin noon tatanungin ko.
First incident was happened when we were doing the movie Hanggang Kailan Kita Mamahalin (1997). There was one sequence lang na I remember in the movie with Lorna [Tolentino]. Nagkakasakit na 'yong script continuity namin because of fear kay Richard. Natatakot sa kanya, nagkakasakit na, parang psychosomatic illness, parang she gets nightmares from Richard, ganyan.
Tapos ako, noong ako ang nagbibigay ng continuity sa kanya, he shouted at me in front of everybody, but I got so embarrassed.
After that, iniisip ko, siguro ginawa akong motivation nitong taong ito kasi 'yong eksena, 'yon 'yong sinisigawan niya si Lorna at ang role niya sa movie, e, masungit, bugnutin. Sabi ko, ‘Kaya siguro.'"
Although, they were able to talk and reconcile before the shoot ended but another incident happened again with them during the shoot of the movie Minsan, Minahal Kita noong in 2000.
"Natapos 'yon, e, kasi nagbati ulit kami. But after that [in the movie Minsan, Minahal Kita], I just remembered something na parang... Meron kaming eksena na parang tinawag niya 'yong PM [production manager] ko, 'tapos sinabi niya, ‘Alam mo 'yang si Cathy, wala 'yang alam, e.' So, when I heard that, it was a friend who told me, sabi ko lang, sana if it was a conversation of ‘What do you think of Cathy?,' then, okay lang.
That statement was an out of the blue thing, so sabi ko, ‘Bakit naman?' parang ganun. So, hindi talaga ako galit, but it's something na hindi ko nai-discuss sa kanya ever because after that, last day namin ' yon, e, we parted ways and we never saw each other again. Since then, hindi pa kami nagkita ulit."
She added, "Alam niyo naman si Richard, e, mayroon talaga siyang... Siguro nga part of his motivation [for the role], but not all people understand, e."
Is she willing to direct Richard in her next movie?, "I am always willing to direct people who are willing to be directed. So, for actors na gusto magpa-direct, ide-direct ko sila. Takot lang ako sa mga artistang ang alam lang nila magagaling na sila."
