MIKE TAN is flattered that both his leading ladies,
Michelle Madrigal and Carla Abellana, in “Kung Aagawin Mo ang Langit” both declared that he is ripe for stardom and deserves to be a leading man. “I’m really thankful to them kasi they welcomed me na kapareha nila and to GMA-7 for finally giving me the break,” he says. “Siguro naman, napatunayan ko how loyal I am to them. At ngayon ako higit na naniniwalang patience is a virtue. Six years akong nagtiyaga at naghintay since I won sa Starstruck and now, finally, heto, solo bida na rin ako. Grabe ang challenge nito sa’kin but I’m doing my best to meet it. Palagi kong kinakausap ang director naming si Jay Altarejos para makatiyak na magiging effective ako sa pag-arte ko sa bawat eksena. I’m playing a role kasi na malayo sa’kin in real life. Playboy kasi dito si Jonas, pinagsabay sina Michelle at
Carla. Di naman ako ganun sa tunay na buhay.”
His prayer now is for the show to rate high. “Siempre, ngayon lang ako nabigyan ng soap na akong bida, gusto ko namang mag-rate ito nang mataas to prove na deserving ako. Ayokong ako ang masisi, kahit na nga lahat kami sa show, we’re all doing everything to make sure magugustuhan ito ng viewers.”
It’s said he’s going sexy in the show. “Siguro dahil may scenes na naka-swimming trunks ako. Also, may bed scenes kami ni Michelle. Maraming kissing scenes. Ngayon ko pa lang din ginawa lahat ito kaya kinabahan ako. But they’re all done in good taste. Panghapong show kami kaya hindi puedeng sobrang sexy.”
