Aljur Abrenica To Join 'Indio' And Will Have A New Soap With Kris Bernal

IT’S COMMON knowledge Aljur Abrenica has bought a new house and lot for his family in Quezon City. Has he brought his girlfriend to his new home? “Yes, pinakita ko na sa kanya even before we bought it and she’s so happy kasi big achievement for me yung mabigyan ng sariling bahay ang family ko. She even gave suggestions about the interior design.”

How come they’re now more open about their relationship? “Matagal na rin naman so I guess it’s about time.”

His last show, “Coffee Prince”, was last year yet. Is it true he felt bad as he has yet to have a new one? “I admit namang nagtampo ako kasi ang tagal ng wala, e. Normal lang naman yun. But GMA already talked to me and I’m happy now. Mahal ko naman talaga ang GMA so ayoko ring umalis dito. Meron daw new show for me and Kris Bernal, ‘Prinsesa ng Masa’, but sa July pa yun. Meantime, papasok muna ako sa ‘Indio’ as Bagani, a warrior na tutulungan si Sen. Bong Revilla nang mawalan siya ng powers. I’ll start taping this weekend at sa week 6 daw ang pasok ng character ko. Then tonight, guest ako sa ‘Wagas’ ng GMA News Channel featuring the true story of a normal man who falls in love with a midget. I will also play the lead role in an episode of ‘Magpakailanman’ this March. It’s about an actor na naging macho dancer before he joined showbiz, pero hindi ko puedeng i-reveal ang identity ng actor (we’re told it’s Kristoffer King of ‘Serbis’, ‘Oros’). I’m excited pero kinakabahan din kasi may macho dancing scenes ako. Naghahanap nga ako ng magtuturo sa’kin how to do it. I’m sure hindi naman yun magiging sobra kasi sa TV ito ipalalabas. Nandiyan ang MTRCB para bantayan kami.”

How does Kylie feel about it? “Nasabi ko sa kanya and excited din siya kasi ibang challenge ito, lalo na yung gagampanan mo ang buhay ng isang totoong tao. Excited din ako for her kasi maganda ang feedback sa bago niyang show, ‘Unforgettable’. At least, pareho kaming may bagong shows.”
