MANILA – Yen Santos was beaming with joy when she shared that her next project will be a movie with her ultimate crush, actor Piolo Pascual.

Titled “Once in a Lifetime,” the film will be directed by Dondon Santos with some scenes shot in New Zealand.

“Ako ang pinakamaswerteng babae ngayon kasi ako ang nabigyan ng chance na makapareho ang isang Piolo Pascual. Sobrang laki po ng pasasalamat ko kasi sobrang laking opportunity po nito para sa akin,” she said.

Admitting she was in shock when the movie was offered to her, Santos shared: “Hindi po ako makapaniwala na siya 'yung magiging ka-partner ko agad. Siyempre nag-uumpisa pa lang ako. Nagulat po talaga ako. Talagang speechless.”

Although they have yet to start working on the movie, Santos said she already considers this project as one of the highlights of her career.

Is she ready to do love scenes with Pascual? “Sa script po parang meron naman. Sino ba ako para tumanggi? Yes [looking forward to that] super super.”

Aside from the movie, Santos is also set to star in an ABS-CBN series with Gerald Anderson and Jake Cuenca.
