Beauty queen Winwyn Marquez leads the all-star cast of the suspense-thriller movie. The star said she is grateful for the opportunity.
“Mixed emotions talaga. Kabado, tuwa, takot etc pero sobrang grateful na napili ang Nelia dahil alam ko buong cast and production binigay lahat nung ginagawa ang film,” Marquez shared as she recalled her reaction as the list of official entries was announced.
“I was watching from FB Live nung announcement and kinakabahan ako kasi syempre mga unang movies na binanggit napakalaking mga artista at pinaghandaan na mga pelikula din,” she added. “Nung biglang binanggit yung synopsis naparecord ako bigla kasi di ako makapaniwala.”
