PROTEGEE BIG WINNER JERIC GONZALES is happy with his role as Zach Ynares in “Oh My Mama” whose parents are Sheree and Ryan Eigenmann. He forms a love triangle with Inah de Belen and Jake Vargas in the story. So who gets Inah when the series ends its telecast a week from now?
“Ayoko namang maging spoiler, pero basta abangan nyo kasi maraming mangyayari kapag nalaman na kung sino ang mastermind ng sindikato,” he says. “Isa sa amin ang mamamatay, pero siempre, hindi ko puedeng i-reveal kung sino. Sa ngayon, panay pa ang selosan sa amin ni Jake over Inah, but who finally gets her in the end will be a surprise.”
He used to be part of the boy band Threelogy, with Jak Roberto and Abel Estanislao. What happened to their trio? “Umalis na si Abel sa GMA Artist Center, so wala na yung grupo namin. Si Jak naman, he’s on his own dahil nabigyan siya ng break sa ‘Dear Uge’, and I’m so happy for him kasi pareho kaming produkto ng Ginoong Laguna. Siya ang unang nanalo roon then ako ang pumalit sa kanya at inilipat niya yung korona niya sa akin.”
So what’s next for him now that “Oh My Mama” is ending? “I don’t know yet. Ang dream ko is mapasama sana ako sa cast ng bagong version ng ‘Mulawin’ na magi-start early next year. Pero hindi naman ako pinababayaan ng GMA kasi lagi akong guest sa ibang shows nila, like ‘Magpakailanman’.”
