CLARITA marks Jodi’s first foray into the horror genre.
Asia’s first demonic possession on film
This work is inspired by the real-life story of Clarita
Villanueva, whose name was all over the news
in the 1950s because of the claims that she had
experienced a demonic possession
It was in 1953 when the name,
Clarita Villanueva, became
the talk of the town because
of an unusual phenomenon.
In different accounts, it was
claimed that she was possessed
by demonic spirits while in jail.
The story of the 17-year-old
— the first reported demonic
possession in Asia — is the
inspiration behind Black Sheep’s
movie Clarita, which locally has
a total gross of over P70-million
as of 27 June.
The film is inspired by the
mystery behind the story on what
occurred during Clarita’s (Jodi
Sta. Maria) demonic possession
and exorcism, where her faith
and those of the people who tried
to help her were tested because
of the obstacles they had to
overcome.
The film’s director, Derick
Cabrido, studied the records of
Villanueva’s case and found out
that she was from the province
and went to Manila to look for
her father. She was then jailed
and although it was suspected

Meantime, this is Jodi’s first
foray to this genre, which she
admitted really pushed her to
her limits, especially since she
chose to do all her scenes without
a stunt double. “It was not easy,
the process in making the film
was not easy. But seeing the
finished product, we can say it
was rewarding,” said Jodi.
Also part of the film are
Ricky Davao, Nonie Buencamino,
Romnick Sarmenta, Arron
Villaflor and Alyssa Muhlach.

She sees through things and, being at heart a
romantic, expresses what she sees in terms that
have a universal appeal to her circle, whatever
it may be
With the combination of the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in
Aquarius at the time she was born, Cherry Pie Sison Picache has
extraordinary gifts of foresight and insight, a kind of visionary
intellectual quality that makes the potentialities of the future
clear to her in terms of the present. She has a ready intuition for
things and for people and through ability to organize and express
what she understands so clearly, can achieve success wither in
the sciences, the arts, or in any branch of activity that requires
control over the minds of men, such as politics, law, or religion.
In romance, her idealism leads her far and wide in
search of perfection and complete sympathy, so that
she may appear fickle and unstable.
She sees through things and, being at heart a romantic, she
expresses what she sees in terms that have a universal appeal
to her circle, whatever it may be. She is genuinely humanitarian
in her outlook, generous-minded and desirous of helping others,
probably through improving them intellectually or aesthetically.
This is an excellent position for a teacher, but whatever walk of
life she may be in, she will in some way lead and teach others.
In romance, her idealism leads her far and wide in search
of perfection and complete sympathy, so that she may appear
fickle and unstable. If, (without some aspects to her Sun or Moon
not mentioned here) this may be a relaxed and unprogressive
position, for daydreams and imaginings absorb her and vitiate
action. But if there are challenging aspects, she will go far through
her expression of what she intuitively knows, and winds up with
considerable influence and perhaps authority.
