THE ENDEARINGLY CANDID RUFFA GUTIERREZ SHOWS US YET ANOTHER SIDE OF HER
Sarah Santiago
the woman

RUFFA GUTIERREZ IS NOT JUST A WOMAN. She is the woman. The kind whose oft glamorous physicality may intimidate at first, but give it a few minutes and you will quickly realize that Ruffa is a woman’s woman. In her most recent cover for MEGA, the endearingly candid beauty queen, actress and host talks about making movies that make her feel young again, the excitement and stress that comes with working with family on reality TV, her theory on the Internet, single motherhood and walking down the aisle again.

Ruffa Gutierrez may be a celebrity of a certain strata, but she’s neither temperamental nor haughty. She’s simply a charismatic figure with a larger than life personality. We begin the filmed interview with a poised figure talking about her current projects. “I’m doing a movie; actually it was just shown last…” she takes a moment to pause. “Teka muna nakikita kasi ako, hindi ako sanay na may video,” she interrupts herself amusingly. “Okay, take two!”
