What's his reaction to Mark Bautista moving to GMA-7? "Nagulat ako. But he's also not with ABS. He's with VIva and I think decision yun ng Viva."
Christian is now the biggest Filipino singer in the Asian music scene. He showed us his music videos: with Indonesia's Bunga Cinta Lestari for their duet of the Bahasa version of "Be Careful with My Heart" and with Malaysia Noryn Aziz for their duet of the Malay version of "Ngiti". He'll next do a duet with another Malaysia, Lianna and then go to Thailand for the Pattaya International Musicfest to represent the country in a weeklong affair to be attended by an estimated crowd of 30,000 people. He also has an offer to do a TV series or a movie in Indonesia. "Most probably, I'd do the movie in August," he says. "Kasi, kung teleserye, I'd be required to stay there for three months. E, paano naman ang other commitments ko? In the movie, I'll play a foreign exchange student who'd meet the leading lady, a well known VJ in Indonesia, while she's being chased by the mob. Mas mabilis gawin yun than a teleserye."
