MARIA Ozawa flopped on a couch with fur-covered pillows by her side. She wore a long-flowing dress that only bared her shoulders, neck, and a bit of her chest.
She’s in the Philippines for just the second time and she’s taking the Philippine experience, one moment at a time.
Ozawa has turned to mainstream entertainment, after making a name as an adult video actress, and would be on her first starring role in the Philippines.
The upcoming movie would be an entry for the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival as she co-stars with Robin Padilla.
For her, staying in the Philippines has been absolutely “perfect.”
“Everything, when I came here two months ago, everything was new, but everybody loved me!” Ozawa said in glee during a press conference Tuesday at Hotel H20.
In her first time in the Philippines, Ozawa was a guest on a radio show, Boys Night Out, and was asked if she would like to make a movie in the Philippines.
“Of course,” Ozawa said as she turned to the people who surrounded her, some with expressions of disbelief, some with expressions of joy, as the actress looked at them.
“Everything’s so perfect.”

Ozawa has yet to meet Padilla in August to work on “Nilalang.”
Before meeting her co-star, Ozawa made it a point to enjoy the country, as much as Filipinos enjoy having her around.
She said there’s something different about the Philippines she doesn’t see in other countries.
“I went to a lot of countries to make films, well most in Japan, but I find it here to be the most relaxing,” Ozawa said as camera lights flashed. “I like everything, plus the English, I can communicate here.”
Also, Ozawa “loves” chicken adobo.
“I can eat that everyday.”
