“I’m so happy GMA-7 entrusted me with this premium project to showcase my acting skills,” he says. “It’s a big challenge for me kasi it’s a 360 degree turn from my past roles. In ‘Munting Heredera’, sobrang sama ni Desmond. Dito sa ‘Broken Vow’, mabait naman ako. Nag-overlap ang taping ng two shows so araw-araw nagte-taping ako and I have to shed off my Desmond character each time I become Roberto, the councilor who’s engaged to marry Bianca King in ‘Broken Vow’. Ibang approach naman ang ginagawa ko. I had to lose weight before we started taping. Tamang-tama, as Desmond, nasunog na buong katawan ko so nakabenda ako, like a mummy. So many viewers want to see me die in the show but sorry to say na kahit sunog na ako, patuloy pa rin akong gagawa ng kasamaan in the remaining episodes of the show that will end this Friday.”
In “Broken Vow”, he and Bianca are about to be married. But before their wedding, Bianca was kidnapped and raped. When Gabby learned her rapist got her pregnant, he backed out as they were facing the altar. In real life, would he do the same thing? “It’s not easy to answer that. But if you truly love the woman and feel he’s your soulmate, then ipaglalaban mo. Lalo na ako, kung magmahal ako, sobra-sobra.”
