The camp of Liza Soberano would not think twice if the Darna role would be offered to the young actress.

In a report by entertainment site Push, Ogie Diaz, who co-manages the showbiz career of Soberano, was quoted as confirming that Soberano is indeed one of the choices to don the red-and-gold costume of the superheroine in the upcoming movie adaptation.

Diaz said it would be a great privilege for Soberano to be the next Darna considering the roster of actresses who have already took on the role.

“Isa siya sa mga choices,” he said. “Maraming may gusto na gumanap pa ring Darna. Imagine-in mo ‘yung history ng mga gumanap na Darna, like si Ate Vi (Vilma Santos). So kung si Liza ang mapipili for the role, siyempre tatanggapin namin.”

Meanwhile, Diaz also commented on the popular opinion of many, including Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach herself, that Soberano would make a good beauty queen.

“Paano kung hindi siya manalo? Sa tingin ko hindi niya na naman kailangang sumali sa Binibining Pilipinas dahil Liza Soberano na siya," he said.

“Ang dapat sumali sa Binibining Pilipinas, 'yung mga baguhan lang, na kung mananalo sila ay makakatulong sa kanila 'yung title,” Diaz added.

The talent manager further said Soberano has a very packed schedule that she won’t be able to give ample time to train for beauty pageants.

“Ang dami-dami niyang raket kaya hindi niya na mabibigyan ng oras ‘yung training para sa Binibining Pilipinas," he said.
