Who Will Maja Salvador Choose As 'Bridges Of Love' Ends In 3 Weeks: Jericho Rosales Or Paulo Avelino?

MAJA SALVADOR feels so blessed in playing the role of Mia, the woman torn between long lost brothers Carlos (Paulo Avelino) and Gael (Jericho Rosales) in "Bridges of Love" that's on its last three weeks. "I'm glad that after playing the role of a mistress in 'Legal Wife', ang solo lead role na ito ang sumunod kong project," she says. "I really enjoyed doing my role as Mia kasi very challenging siya, physically and emotionally. Ang maganda kay Mia, she made some mistakes but learned a lot from all of them."

What's the most intense and demanding scene she has done so far in the show? "Pinakamahirap sa akin yung umawat at gumitna kapag nag-aaway silang dalawa. Mahirap pigilan yung mga emosyon, madadala ka."

So who would she choose when the series ends: Gael or Carlos? "Sa totoo lang, hindi pa namin alam. Nagte-taping pa kami kaya wala pa sa point na yun ang script na ibinibigay sa amin. As of now, after makansela ang wedding namin ni Carlos dahil sa pagkamatay ni Janus del Prado as Muloy, marami pang mga lihim na isa-isang mabubunyag. Naibunyag na ni Carlos kay Gael na ito ang kanyang nawawalang kapatid. Malalaman natin kung ano ang magiging reaction dito ni Gael, na ang arch enemy pala and mortal rival niya is actually his long lost brother. Magpaparaya na ba siya at ipauubaya na ko kay Carlos at mapapatawad ba ni Carlos sa Gael dahil sinaktan siya nito noong mga bata pa sila? Yun ang mga dapat nyong abangan."

Maja wants to thank all the show's regular viewers who have supported them since the show started airing in March of this year. "Talagang hindi sila bumitaw kaya laging 25% and above ang ratings namin. Hindi rin matatawaran ang suporta ng co-stars namin: Edu Manzano as Lorenzo, Carmina Villaroel as Alexa and Maureen Mauricio as Tita Marilen. At siempre, our directors, Richard Somes and Will Fredo."

So how is her love life after the breakup with Gerald Anderson? "I've moved on. Hindi ako yung tipo who'd dwell on such things. The key is acceptance, tanggapin mo lang, then move on na agad. Right now, in love ako with my work. Kasi after 'Bridges', there's another big project waiting for me, pero hindi ko pa puedeng i-announce. Saka na lang."

'Bridges of Love' is the first collaboration between Directors Richard Somes and Will Fredo, who are both award-winning indie film directors. This is actually Will's first teleserye after directing acclaimed indie flicks like "Compound" and "In Nomine Matris". "Kabadong-kabado ako when we started kasi first time ko sa ABS," he says. "But I'm so happy na very welcoming si Direk Richard at ang buong cast. Direk Richard served as my mentor at talagang tumaas ang respeto ko sa kanya after working with him."

"It's our first time to work together ni Will," says Richard who won awards for the film "Yanggaw". "In doing a TV series, may templates kang susundan at buti na lang nag-blend agad ang templates naming dalawa. We discuss what we'll tape and in one sitting lang, we can settle how we'll treat each scene. Naging magaan ang trabaho namin."

So what do we expect in the show during its last three weeks? "Marami pa," says Richard. "You can expect the culmination of the entire story after we've set it up and the characters became endearing to the viewers. They will come into full circle pero marami pang mangyayari na gugulat na revelations sa inyo so don't miss it."
