Lovi thankful for sister Grace movie support

ACTRESS Lovi Poe said she's touched by the attendance of half-sister, Grace Poe Llamanzares, at the premiere of her latest movie "Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles" with leading man Dingdong Dantes.

"I'm so happy she went there and sobrang bait talaga niya. It's such a nice feeling," said Lovi at the grand press launch of "Yesterday's Bride" Friday evening held at Studio 7 in GMA Compound, Quezon City.

Lovi revealed she and Dingdong invited Grace to the event and she's happy the latter came to see the movie.

After the screening, Grace went up to her and congratulated her and the whole team. Lovi added that what her sister told her really meant the world to her.

"Dun mo talaga makikita na she such a good heart. Nagustuhan niya and she said 'Papa would have been very proud' kaya it meant the world to me kasi it's coming for her."

"With what she said, it made me feel so happy. It made me feel closer to Papa."

Lovi said her Ate Grace and Tita Susan (Roces) have been very nice to her and she's thankful that all is well between them.

When asked if she's ready to campaign for Grace, who is running for a senatorial seat in the 2013 national elections, Lovi said its "automatic."

"Of course, it is something I love to do," she said. (Glaiza Jarloc/Sunnex)
