Vin Abrenica On Being Paired With Alwyn Uytingco In TV5's 'Beki Boxer' That Starts Airing On Monday Night

AFTER PLAYING the romantic lead role in “Never Say Goodbye” and the villain role in “Misibis Bay”, how does Vin Abrenica feel that he’s now the gay romantic interest of Alwyn Uytingco in TV5’s “Beki Boxer” that starts airing on Monday at 7 PM? “New challenge ito para sa’min ni Alwyn kasi ngayon pa lang, may nagpe-pair na sa’min as a love team sa Twitter na Wyn-Vin or Vin-Wyn,” he says. “Nakakatuwa. Kino-compare kami sa Tom-Den ng ‘My Husband’s Lover’, pero hindi dapat kasi mas lighter ang treatment dito sa show namin. Isa pa, malaki na ang napatunayan nila roon. Kami, we have yet to prove ourselves in our show. Buti na lang si Alwyn ang kapareha ko rito kasi very comfortable na ako sa kanya, wala ng ilangan kasi friends na kami talaga at alam kong totong lalaki siya.”

Vin, who’s turning 23 on May 27, insists he has no sibling rivalry with his Kuya Aljur Abrenica who turned 24 on March 24. “Lagi nga akong tinatanong kung wala kaming professional jealousy and I always say na wala talaga. Source of inspiration siya for me. Hindi maiiwasang pagkumparahin kami but then, lagi ko ring sinasabi na gusto kong magkaroon ako ng sarili kong identity.”

After a year in showbiz, he has learned to take intrigues in good stride. “Noong bagong pasok ako, ang daming nanlalait at umiiyak talaga ako. Mukha raw akong magbobote. Kung si Kuya raw, mukhang magsasaka, ako raw yung kalabaw. Sobra, di ba? But now, ignore na lang yang ganyang bashing. Nakatulong din yung Bible reading na ginagawa namin ni Kuya para mas mapalapit kami sa Diyos at maging mas positive ang outlook namin sa buhay.”

How true are the rumors that he and Sophie Albert are now on? “It’s not true. Magkaibigan lang kami talaga. If ever maging kami, aaminin naman namin.”

Aside from “Beki Boxer”, Vin is also one of the leading men of Jasmine Curtis Smith in her own drama show, “JasMine”.
