Has he ever been experienced being in such a situation? “No,” he says. “But I can’t promise you it’ll never happen. Mahirap magsabing I’ll never do that. One of the things you’ll learn from our movie is that surprises come along the way. I thought I’ve found the perfect partner in Cristine as my wife, then Anne suddenly comes and I find myself having more love to give. I’m hoping it won’t happen to me in real life kasi five years na kami ni Angelica (Panganiban) and I’d say I’m very happy with her.”
In the movie, there’s a line involving Lucy Torres and Gretchen Barretto. Which one does he prefer as partner? “Angelica, I think, she’s in the middle. She can be a perfect partner like Lucy pero palaban din yun like Gretchen. So, sa kanya na lang ako.”
All of them are currently in a relationship. He has Angelica, Anne is with Erwan Heussaff and Cristine with Rayver Cruz. Are they all in a perfect relationship?
Anne says: “I don’t think anyone can have a perfect relationship, but I’d like to think that my relationship now is the closest one you can get to perfect.”
Derek says: “I beg to disagree with Anne because I believe you can have a perfect relationship. I think I do have a perfect relationship now because I’m very happy. We do have problems, we argue, but we’re still very happy for five years now.”
Cristine says: “Ako rin, perfect na yun ngayon. Yun lang po.”
