Saicy Aguila tapped for kontrabida role in "Lastikman"

Former Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 housemate Saicy Aguila is out to prove that aside from being a topnotch dancer, she can also be a versatile actress. The 24-year old star plays Ines/Byutiki in Vhong Navarro's fantaserye Lastikman.


While inside Big Brother's house, Saicy wowed the viewers with her talent in dancing, particularly the samba, which gave rise to her moniker Samba Dancing Diva. The dance instructor-turned-celebrity has been strutting her moves in front of a larger audience and in a much bigger dance floor—national television. She has been dubbed as ASAP Supahdance's Dance Cool Siren. Saicy also became one of the celebrity show dancers in U Can Dance Version 2, and shares a dancing segment with fellow housemate Mickey Perz on the Sunday noontime variety show ASAP '07.

Now, viewers can see another talent of Saicy—acting. She was given supporting roles and has appeared as a guest in romantic-comedy shows like Love Spell. This week, her fans can now watch the ballroom dancing choreographer from Bacolod portray her first full-length character role in the fantaserye Lastikman.

In Lastikman, Saicy plays the role of Ines Semantela, a university teacher who is always envious of the people around her, making her spread gossip about them. She transforms into the slimy, sassy and seemingly invincible mutant lizard called Byutiki. Her acid spit can melt anything instantaneously and she can use her tongue as a whip. She can also regenerate any part of her body that gets severed in a fight, which makes it so hard for the superhero Lastikman to defeat her.

Viewers will surely enjoy seeing Saicy in a tight-fitting costume that accentuates her curves. Moreover, they will watch the Dancing Diva perform a role that was supposed to have been played by Ai-Ai delas Alas.

This week, Saicy's acting capability and flexibility will be tested in her role as the lovely but equally terrifying Byutiki. Will she succeed as an actress or is she better off on the dance floor? Find out on Lastikman, weeknights after Pangarap na Bituin on ABS-CBN.
