Maja Salvador's Torrid Love Scenes With Jason Abalos Might Make Bf Matteo G. Jealous

MAJA SALVADOR is so busy and very visible these days. We first saw her last Thursday at the presscon of Weddings & Debuts Bridal Fair where she’s the endorser. Last Saturday, she was at the presscon of her romantic comedy with BF Matteo Guidicelli, “My Cactus Heart”. And then last Tuesday, we saw her again at the launch of her new TV show “PHR (Precious Heart Romances) Present Lumayo Ka Man sa Akin” where she’s paired with Jason Abalos and the comebacking Patrick Garcia. This will replace “Reputasyon” at the 5PM slot of ABS-CBN.

“I feel so blessed!” she says. “Ang ganda nga ng pasok ng 2012 for me. Kauumpisa pa lang, ang dami na agad projects.”

Her last PHR soap, “Impostor”, got nominated for an international award in New York. Does she think “Lumayo Ka Man” will also get that much acclaim? “I think so, kasi ang ganda rin ng story nito. It’s based on Martha Cecilia’s best selling novel, ‘Pangako’. I play Janine del Castillo, an interior designer who’s life is happy and contented. We’re rich and I have a handsome boyfriend, si Patrick. Just as I’m about to marry Patrick, my dad, Ariel Rivera, revealed to me na buhay pa ang mother ko, si Ina Raymundo. I’m the product of their illicit love affair and after giving birth to me, my mom went to back to her family at iniwan ako sa dad ko who raised me by himself. This revelation would change my life drastically. Pupuntahan ko ang mom ko sa probinsiya nila and I will meet this handsome farmer, si Jason, at magkakaroon kami ng passionate love affair. Bale yung kasalanan ng mom ko noon, who fell in love with another man, mauulit sa akin ngayon. Kasama rin sa ‘Lumayo Ka Man’ sina Ina Feleo, Kathleen Hermosa, Toby Alejar, Mico Palanca, Bettina Carlos and John Arcilla.”

She has love scenes with both Patrick and Jason. “Yung kay Patrick, smock-smock lang, tapos sa leeg. Yung kay Jason, yung ang torrid, bigay-todo talaga.”

Won’t her real life BF Matteo Guidicelli get jealous with Jason like what happened when she was paired with Coco Martin in “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin”? “Ay, hindi na siya seloso. Alam na niya ngayon ang mga pasikot-sikot sa industriya. Supportive na siya sa mga ginagawa ko.”

What does she like in Matteo? “He’s very thoughtful and sweet. He never gets tired of telling how much he loves me. One time, pinuno niya yung kuwarto ng post-its na nakasulat doon ang reasons why he loves me. Tapos, yung floor, pinuno ng petals ng flowers. At siya, unlike other boys, he remembers when our first date was, yung monthsary namin, ako pa nga yung nakakalimot, e. Talo niya ko sa pagiging sweet.”

How is it working together in “My Cactus Heart”? “Mahirap kasi we play characters who are so different from us in real life. Big challenge yun. But in the end, masaya rin kasi nga first time namin to do a film together at nagkakatulungan kaming dalawa.”
