Bad Boy of the Dance Floor in Party Pilipinas

MARK HERRAS is known in "SOP" as the Bad Boy of the Dance Floor. In "Party Pilipinas", isn't he threatened by the entry of Starstruck V recruits Enzo Pineda and Rocco Nacino who are excellent dancers like him? "May nagsasabi nga dapat ma-insecure daw ako but I don't feel that way at all," he says. "Sa akin, welcome lahat ng baguhan. Wala ritong personal competition kasi dapat, lahat kami, magtulungan para sa ikakaganda ng show. Ang kalaban naming program ang karibal namin, hindi kami sa isa't isa. I've seen Enzo and Rocco and they both dance well. They have their own moves and I'm really impressed. Sana maging maganda ang samahan naming lahat sa 'Party Pilipinas'."

He plays Regine Velasquez' brother, Smith, in "Diva" but his fans say he should not have been cast in it as he plays a mere supporting role. "But I don't look at it that way. Happy nga ako to work with Ms. Regine kasi the first time naging magkapatid din kami was in 'Forever in My Heart' in 2004 na kapapanalo ko pa lang sa very first Starstruck. Actually, maganda ang role ko, may sariling story. 'Diva' has just started naman kaya abangan na lang nila. Magkakaroon din ako ng dance sequences in the show kaya nakakatuwa at enjoy ako."

Needless to say, he's also happy with "Diva" since he's paired with rumored squeeze Ynna Asistio. What can he say now that Jennylyn is ready to forgive Patrick Garcia? "I'm glad dahil puede na ring makita ng anak nila ang father niya. Father and son are entitled to that."
