Last June 2013, daring Indie Actor JAY ENRIQUEZ made a pronouncement to Aliwan Avenue that he was leaving the scene to pursue a career in politics.  Sadly , he was not triumphant so he merely settled back to his cuddled life and eventually got a job in the BPO industry.  From then on, nothing was heard of him.  As in, wala nang balita tungkol sa kanya dahil tumigil na rin siya sa pagtanggap ng mga indie offers.  Lately, makaraang umaalingasngas ang pagpapalabas ng UNFRIEND ni Direk Jay Altarejos sa Berlin International Film Festival at ang premiere kagabi ng Director’s Cut nito ; biglang tumatatak muli ang pangalang JAY ENRIQUEZ.  Why? Dahil sa malalang eksenang buong ningning nyang pinangatawanan … isang eksenang maaring paghiwalayin ang iyong kamalayan sa totoong mundo! Choz.  Nang tinawagan ng AA si Jay upang hingin ang kanyang masasabi sinigurado nya na : “Akin po talaga ‘yon, walang prosthetics involved!”  WoW! Bagama’t busy rin siya ngayon sa kanyang graveyard job, willing pa rin naman pala siyang bumalik sa mundo ng mga aninong gumagalaw.  “Naka-anim na po kasi akong indie na malalang sex ang tema, this time po kung may magtitiwala sa akin na subukan ako bilang isang aktor, why not naman po” .  Although it is not sure if his scene with Sandino is included on the R18 cut, malamang wala ito sa R16 version.  UNFRIEND is produced by Brillante Mendoza’s Centerstage Productions along with Solar Entertainment  and stars ANGELO ILAGAN and SANDINO MARTIN.  It is a tragic gay love story based on a real event that hugged the headlines last year. UNFRIEND hits theaters FEBRUARY 26!
