Fresh off their recent success with the ABS-CBN series Love in 40 Days, Loisa Andalioand Ronnie Alonte (LoiNie) are back with another project. This time around, you’ll getto see these stars not just on the small screen but now at the cinemas.


The duo is set to appear alongside My Teacher lead stars Joey De Leon and ToniGonzaga for the MMFF (Metro Manila Film Festival) movie which is about a high school teacher who returns to herhometown and learns life’s valuable lessons from her unconventional student: a 70-year-old man. Directed by Paul Soriano, My Teacher serves as a reunion project forJoey and his former noontime show co-host Toni, and it is also acomeback movie for the LoiNie loveteam after the strict two-year pandemic lockdowns.



Loisa and Ronnie said My Teacher was an inspiring film towork on.


Kailangan nilang mapanood iyong ganito kagandang story namaraming lessons at punong-puno ng pagmamahal at ang ganda talaga niya. Hindi siyaiyong mabo-bore ka. Bawat eksena, may aral talaga na mapupulot,” Loisa begins.“Ang lesson na ibinibigay ng My Teacher is walang pinipiling edad iyong pangarap athope. Basta habang nabubuhay ka, may pag-asa anuman ang sitwasyon mo sa buhayo kapalaran mo. Basta pag-igihan mo lang at may pangarap ka, matutupad mo iyon.

Ronnie, on the other hand, shared, “Magaan iyong pelikula at, for sure, makaka-relate lahat ng mga estudyante at lalo na angmga teachers... Bata man o matanda, dapat din tayong matuto at matuto pa.



Loisa and Ronnie also talked about their characters in the film and how they can relate to theirMy Teacher roles.


Loisa describes her character Erica as a “good student” in the movie and a relatablecharacter especially to those who are also going through different situations as astudent. Just like Erica, Loisa was also diligent as a student.


Noong mga panahong estudyante ako, iyon din naman talaga ang goal ko kaya akonag-aaral mabuti at ginagalingan ko sa school—kasi gusto kong mabigyan ngmagandang kinabukasan iyong family ko. Doon ako nakaka-relate. Isa siyanginspirasyon sa mga kabataan. Honor student ako sa movie at noong high school dinako. Nakaka-inspire si Erica kaya dapat tularan ng kabataan. Mag-aral mabuti,” theyoung actress said.



As for Ronnie, he calls his character Francis as “isang pasaway at bad boy naestudyante na lahat ng mga guro ay sumusuko.” Francis is also the love interest ofLoisa’s character Erica.

Asked if he feels there are similarities between himself and the character he plays,Ronnie laughed and revealed, “Sa totoo lang, hindi nagkakalayo. Pareho lang, pero masmalala si Francis. Kung si Ronnie 50% [pasaway], si Francis naman 100%.”


He continued, “Nandoon din naman iyong pagiging pasaway ko pero the way magsalita sa teacher,magkaiba naman kami. Mababait ako sa mga teachers ko. Pareho kami ni Francisnagba-basketball. Magaling din naman ako sa class.”



Still, the young actor found a redeeming factor in his seemingly “bad boy” character.


Ang nagustuhan ko kay Francis, kapag gusto niya, gagawin nya lahat para maabotiyon. Ganoon din ako. Kapag may gusto akong bagay, kailangang makuha ko atmagawa ko ito. Gustong gusto ko iyon kay Francis,” Ronnie explains.


With this movie as an MMFF entry, there are many things that the couple is excitedabout. They have joined MMFF before through the 2018 movie Fantastica, but this is both their second time at the moviefestival with meatier roles and their first time to join again after 2016 and the strictpandemic lockdowns.
