“Hindi naman,” he says. “I was a guest in several shows like ‘Magpakailanman’ and ‘Wagas’, tapos napasama rin ako sa regional shows to promote GMA kaya nakapasyal ako sa iba’t ibang cities sa ating bansa. And now, very happy ako sa role ko in ‘Yagit’ that starts airing on Monday. I play Roman, mabait na pulis. I hope makatulong ito para mabago ang tingin ng mga tao sa mga pulis na hindi naman lahat, corrupt. Dito, ako ang tutulong kay Yasmien Kurdi as Dolores and her daughter, Eliza, played by Chlaui Malayao. May gusto ko kay Yasmien pero sobrang torpe naman ako kaya hindi ko siya maligawan.”
He also welcomes working with their director, Gina Alajar. “I’ve known her since childhood kasi ninang ko siya. Magkakaibigan sila ng parents ko. Favorite nga niya ako kaya hindi niya ako pinagagalitan sa set,” he jokes.
About his lovelife, he remains loveless since he broke up with Maxene Magalona who has since left GMA and moved to ABS-CBN. Did she inform him about it?
“No, wala na kaming communication since we broke up. Hindi na kami nagkausap. Mas nakakausap ko pa ‘yung brother niya, si Frank, na co-star ko ngayon dito sa ‘Yagit’. Narinig ko lang sa iba yung pag-alis niya ng GMA.”
Someone quipped he must be the reason why she left. “Siguro, gusto kang iwasan,” says one writer.
“Hindi naman,” he counters. “Maayos naman ang split namin. At saka kung ako nga, di dapat, noon pa siya lumipat. E, ang tagal na since we parted ways. Basta ako, I wish her well. Sana nga, mas maging productive and fruitful for her ang paglipat niya sa ibang network.”
The irony of it is that Renz himself first tried working with ABS-CBN but he decided to transfer to GMA last year. “Kumbaga, nagpalitan lang sila,” says one writer.
