Jennica Garcia And Alwyn Uytingco Are Going Steady For Four Years Now

JENNICA GARCIA and Alwyn Uytingco are going steady for four years now. Recently, GMA-7 scheduled an interview with Jennica for “Carmela” at 3 PM while Alwyn also had a scheduled interview for TV5’s “Beki Boxer”, also at the same time. We went to interview Alwyn first and he says he and Jennica are aware of their respective skeds and they’ll be meeting each other after the interviews with them. Both made it clear that they have no plans yet of getting married.

“Mauna na lang muna si mommy ko (Jean Garcia),” says Jennica.

“Marami pa kaming dapat ihanda,” says Alwyn. “Unang-una, I want us to have a house of our own para sa magiging family namin.”

Alwyn’s contract with TV5 is about to expire. “Pero inaayos na ng manager ko (Manny Valera) ang renewal. Happy naman ako sa TV5 because they’ve given me really good projects like ‘Babaeng Hampaslupa’, ‘Kapitan Awesome’, ‘Sa Ngalan ng Ina’, ‘Nandito Ako’, ‘Cassandra’ and now, ‘Beki Boxer’ na ako ang title role.”

Jennica is so happy for Alwyn’s career. “Noong first time na maging kami, sira-sira ang kotse niya. But lagi niyang sinasabi, ‘Magsisikap ako. Magiging regular ang trabaho ko at pakakainin kita sa masasarap na restaurants.’ Ayan nga, naging regular ang work niya sa TV5, but he hasn’t changed. Sweet pa rin siya. Binigyan pa ako ng puhunan para sa cake shop ko for cats and dogs.”

Alwyn is getting great feedback as the gay boxer Rocky Ponciano in “Beki Boxer” where he has a love interest, Vin Abrenica. They almost had kissing scene when Vin drowned while swimming and Alwyn nearly gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. “Buti nga hindi natuloy kasi maraming bata ang nanonood ng aming show. In public, mga bata talaga ang tumatawag sa akin ng Rocky. So gusto kong ma-maintain na wholesome and pampamilya ang show namin kaya hindi dapat lagyan ng love scene between me and Vin. At saka, hindi na bago ang halikang lalaki sa lalaki. Ang dami ng gumawa. Sana kung kami pa lang ang first na gagawa ng ganun, e marami nang gumawa ng ganun. Ako nga, may kissing scene na noong I played a gay character in ‘Tanging Ina’, pero smack lang with Andrew Wolff. But ang nangyari, it was edited out kasi nga naman, comedy na pampamilya yung movie namin. So tama na yung mga pa-cute scenes na lang ang gawin namin ni Vin sa ‘Beki Boxer’. As it is, very positive ang comments ng viewers sa aming show, lalo na sa social media, gustong-gusto nila. At maganda rin na laging fully loaded kami with commercials. Mamaya, kapag nilagyan ng controversial kissing scenes, hindi na kami suportahan ng advertisers.”

This coming week, Alwyn says he’ll be doing a lot of fight scenes on the ring. “Sunod-sunod ang laban ko sa mga totoong boxers. Hahaba rin ang role ni John Regala bilang kaaway ng father ko. Pupunta ko sa gym niya kahit mortal enemies sila ng father ko. Magkakaroon din ng bagong characters played by Danita Paner as Vin’s new love interest, Ryan Yllana, Jerald Napoles and Brent Manzano. Maraming mangyayari kaya abangan ninyo.”
