She’s beautiful, she’s rare, and she’s strong. That’s how Christine Bermas is described in Joel Lamangan’s new film about a girl who has a mesmerizing charm and beauty.
The film entitled Moonlight Butterly follows the story of Eunice (Christine) a.k.a Moonlight Butterfly, the hottest GRO in Angeles, Pampanga who works hard to provide for her family, and to support her boyfriend Roy’s (Albie Casiño) education. In her line of work, she meets a lot of men, but only one stands out – Elliot (Kit Thompson), an American guy who actually gave Eunice the name Moonlight Butterfly. He is charmed by Eunice’s charm and sexiness, and he wants her all for himself. He asks her to live with him and stop her work as a GRO. In exchange, Elliot provides Eunice and her family’s needs. Meanwhile, things between Eunice and Roy start to get shaky.
Eunice focuses on pleasing Elliot in every way she can, while she lives with him, and Elliott makes sure Eunice’s needs are provided for. Until a time when Elliot has to leave the country for work and he suddenly stops providing for Eunice. This prompts her to go back to her job as a GRO, and she gets a new client: a mysterious Arab man who was also smitten by Eunice’s charm and sexiness. Coming back from his work abroad, Elliot would find Eunice with another man and all hell will start to break loose that could put Eunice’s life in danger.
After her notable roles in Siklo and Sisid, Christine is ready to shine in her first lead role in Moonlight Butterly. With her striking look and acting prowess, Christine easily got the approval of director Joel Lamangan to play the lead part.
In an interview, the seasoned director proudly said that he discovered a new actress that will surely make waves in the movie industry for a long time.
In turn, the sexy actress could not help but be emotional after hearing such words from the seasoned director.
“Well, I can’t explain what I’m feeling right now. Coming from direk, thank you po kasi na-appreciate niyo ako and yung mga ginagawa ko. And thank you for noticing my skill as an actor,” she said.
“Sobrang nakakataba ng puso, sobrang alam mo ‘yon, kahit ako parang, ‘Totoo ba? Naririnig ko yung mga ganoon?’” she added.
