Derrick says he wooed her when they did “Tween Hearts” but she didn’t take him seriously. “Well, yes, kasi I found hindi lang naman akong nililigawan niya. But we became good friends since then. I can say magka-vibes na kami at kilalang-kilala ko na siya. Alam kong kung kailan siya serious at kung kailan siya nagbibiro lang. Ngayon, sinasabi niyang he thinks of me as more than a friend at may posibilidad na maging kami and that’s flattering. Pero ayokong isiping part lang yun ng promo ng ‘TsuperHero’. Honestly, at this point, ayoko munang pasukin ang pakikipagrelasyon. Trabaho na lang muna. It’s much better kung friends na lang kami na walang expectations sa isa’t isa at hindi kami magiging conscious sa sasabihin ng ibang tao.”
Is it because she hasn’t moved on since she broke up with Jake Vargas? “Ay, walang connection yun sa sitwasyon namin ni Derrick. Kahit sabihin pang hindi naging maganda ang ending namin ni Jake, it’s not enough reason para maging bitter ako sa mga lalaki. I never became a man-hater kasi alam ko namang hindi pare-pareho ang ugali ng mga lalaki. It’s not fair na dahil sa isang tao lang, lalahatin mo na sila. I was able to move on after what happened to me and Jake, I became whole again and became a much better person. At kami ni Jake, okay na rin kami. Huli kaming nagkita noong ‘Oh Boy’ concert nila ni Derrick sa Music Museum at civil naman kami sa isa’t isa. Nagbatian naman kami. But as of now, career na lang muna ang focus ko. Gusto kong mag-rate muna nang mataas itong ‘TsuperHero’ namin ni Derrick at nang di masira ang pagtitiwala ng GMA sa tambalan namin. Maganda ang role ko rito as a barker sa sakayan ng jeep at bus in Pandacan. Nag-immersion kami pareho ni Derrick diyan to make sure we’ll be believable in our roles and I think, credible naman ang kinalabasan ng efforts namin sa screen.”
