MANILA - Kris Aquino will appear in two Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entries this year, the actress-host revealed on Thursday.

Aside from the horror film "Feng Shui," which she top-bills with Coco Martin, Aquino said she will play a role in the other Star Cinema offering "The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin."

The latter stars Vice Ganda, Richard Yap, Alex Gonzaga, and Aquino's son Bimby. Wenn Deramas, who is behind the original "Praybeyt Benjamin" in 2011, returns as director.

Aquino announced her part in the movie during the live episode of "Aquino & Abunda Tonight," where she and co-host Boy Abunda interviewed Yap.

"I'm your wife there!" she told Yap, who will play a general in the film.

"I'm the mom of Bimb. We had an affair. Inakit ko siya (Yap). Inakit ko 'yung heneral! Nagtagumpay ako and I'm bad. Ang saya!" Aquino said, laughing.

Aquino and Yap previously worked together in the music video of the actor's revival of Hall & Oates' "Promise Ain't Enough."

"The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin" and "Feng Shui" will compete against six other movies in the main section of the MMFF -- "Shake, Rattle & Roll XV," "Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2," "Bonifacio," "English Only, Please," "Magnum Muslim .357," and "My Big Bossing."
