Maymay a ‘master love caster’ in her latest project
Maymay Entrata
It appears that Maymay Entrata, the other half of the popular “MayWard” love team, has fallen in love, broken her heart and moved on without us knowing it.
During a recent media gathering for her latest show “Listen to Love,” the actress was asked about the most important lesson about love that she has learned through time. To this, she answered: “It’s important that I first find myself before falling in love again. I have to first fill my heart with self-love. I should first focus on my relationship with God because God is love. And then, if I feel that I’m already bursting with love in my heart, then maybe I’d be ready to share it with someone else.
“If I love again, I will no longer depend on that person in order to be happy; so that any time that person leaves me I will be able to handle it because I’m filled with love from God, and from the people around me,” she pointed out.
In previous interviews, Maymay did say that if she’d have a boyfriend, she’d want it to be Edward Barber, her on-screen partner. Edward, on the other hand, said in an online chat in April 2019 that he was feeling the absence of his “girlfriend” so much. At that time, Maymay was in Hong Kong, working on the movie “Hello, Love, Goodbye.” However, in April 2020, the actors, on their Instagram accounts, said that being friends was “more beneficial” to their respective careers.
During the media gathering on Monday, Maymay also said that she has learned “that one should take time to really know the person you want to love for the rest of your life, because forever is not easy [to achieve]—if that’s really your intention.”
Maymay further said: “If your intention is for your relationship with your boyfriend or girlfriend to last forever, then you should first find out if you have the same love language, if you’re really compatible with each other. It doesn’t mean that when people say you look good together then you’re meant to be. There should also be understanding, faithfulness, loyalty and constant communication.”
In “Listen to Love,” Maymay plays DJ Zari, the “master love caster.” It is the first-ever “lovecast” (love + podcast) series that will be available on Spotify, as well as on Star Cinema’s Facebook account and YouTube channel every Tuesday and Thursday starting Aug. 27, at 7:30 p.m.
The first story to be featured is the adaptation of the hit Wattpad novel by Tina Lata (Blue Maiden) titled “The Four Bad Boys and Me.” It features young artists Jeremiah Lisbo, Rhys Miguel, Mark Rivera, Aljon Mendoza and Kaori Oinuma, and directed by Joel Ferrer.
Completing the cast of “The Four Bad Boys and Me” are Jenny Jamora, Alora Sasam and Chie Filomeno.
Isn’t a love story narrator supposed to be the most experienced one in terms of love? “Sure,” Maymay began. “I draw knowledge about love not only from my personal experience but also from the experiences of the people around me.”
She recalled being part of a broken family and having to grow up with only her grandparents to take care of her. “It’s because of the two of them that I feel so loved. I didn’t feel I was lacking even though I didn’t grow up with a father,” explained Maymay, who added that her mother wasn’t around as well because the latter had to work abroad. “I also learned from the love life of my aunties, who, sadly, now have broken families, too. You see, we may be weak but we become strong when we stick together.”
In reference to the show’s title, Maymay was also asked whether or not she would fall in love with a bad boy. She replied with: “I believe that once a bad boy will always be a bad boy. You won’t be able to change who he is just by being his girlfriend, but you will be able to control how to choose who to love. So if I’d pick a guy, doon ako sa good boy.”
But aren’t good boys boring sometimes? “There are different kinds of bad boys just like there are different kinds of good boys. Not all good boys are boring. You still have to have standards even though you’re looking for a good boy.”
Maymay also acknowledged that this was a project without Edward. “We already started working on our respective solo projects late last year. The setup is OK with us. We recognize the fact that we both have to grow as actors, as individuals,” she pointed out, adding that MayWard supporters shouldn’t worry because they have a movie project coming up.
