Emma's friend Sophie, working as an entertainer in the Philipines, mentions her to a Filipino newspaper (this is a combination between Google translation and my own corrections/understanding):
Sophie is close friend with the British actress and Hollywood star Emma Watson, who is known for her role as Hermione in the Harry Potter film series.
So naturally Sophie told her famous friend her experience here in the Philippines.
"She does not know much about it or anything ..." she said regarding the Philippines. "I think if she can find time, then she'll definitely come up to visit, for sure. I was just saying how beautiful and how friendly [the Filipinos]. I know she'll love it. "
How did she communicate with Emma and how did she tell the story about the Philippines?
"I said I've been traveling, wishing you'd seen about the show. And I Skyped from here and everything, and I was like, 'We have to get out there. It's super relaxing, the people are really kind and you'll love the food and the beaches are like no other. They really are beautiful . '"
PEP prod question: Is Emma a childhood friend?
Sophie's response, "We went to school together, [back] from about 12 [years old]."
What would she tell Emma about the Philippines when they'll speak again, especially now she has the experience of going around the different areas of the country?
"I would say it's beautiful, magical, happy little space that has yet to be uncovered."
We also asked whether the model will bring Emma along for her next visit.
"I will try," she replied smiling.
