Christian Bautista's Guests In His 10Th Anniversary Tv Special Are His Ex And Current Girlfriends

CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA is celebrating his 10th anniversary in showbiz with a musical special on ABS-CBN’s “Sunday Best” at 11PM next Sunday, July 8. Entitled “The Way You Look at Me: The Christian Bautista 10th Anniversary Special”, it chronicles Christian’s rise to fame from “Star in a Million” and being a top recording star with “The Way You Look at Me” to going international with his hit albums, concerts and international movie and TV projects like “Special Symphony” and “Kitchen Musical”. His guests are music icon Jomari Chan, Iza Calzado, Sam Milby, Jovit Baldivino, Marcelito Pomoy, Bugoy Drilon, Khalil Ramos, Angeline Quinto, ex-GF Rachelle Ann Go and current one Singapore-Romanian actress Carla Mae who’s being introduced in Regal’s “The Bride and the Lover”.

It’s good Rachel Ann was included in the special. “Oo naman,” he says. “Two years kami and she’s very much a part of my career. The special won’t be complete without her. Nag-exchange deal kami. She guested in my TV special and I guested in GMA-7’s ‘Pare & Pare’.”

The special with ABS must mean he’s no longer moving to TV5 as earlier reported. “I don’t wanna worry about tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about itself, basta as of now, happy ako with the TV special. I’m also now a regular in ‘The Princess and I’. I’m paired with Gretchen Barretto and I play a long-haired rebel fighting for the rights of our oppressed people.”

Because he tapes three days a week for the show, he cannot accept any gigs abroad. “Okay lang as I missed acting and enjoy ako working with Gretchen, with Art Acuna who’s my co-star in ‘Kitchen Musical’ and Enrique Gil with whom I have the same manager, Carlo Orosa.”

Does Carla’s joining local showbiz has his blessing? “Yes. It’s really her desire to act so I support her. I’m happy for her.”

What if Carla were asked to do sexy scenes? “Kissing, okay lang, but sexy scenes, we both have our limitations.”

Christian will also have a five-night 10th anniversary concert at the Meralco Theatre on October 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14. “That’s where I started acting in the play ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ ten years ago so dapat lang dun ako mag-show.”
