“I’m really thankful kay Mother Lily for giving me this very challenging role,” he beams. “And I also want to thank my co-stars, lalo na sina Richard Yap and Jean Garcia as my parents, dahil napakagagaling nila at masarap na kaeksena. Also, our director, Ian Lorenos, for trusting me.”
How did he feel when they didn’t make it as an official entry? “Siempre, nanghihinayang. Pero tapos na eh. Respetuhin na lang natin yung decisions nila. Move on na lang and try na lang uli again next year.”
With whom will he spend Christmas after he broke up with model Samantha Lewis earlier this year? “With my family. Pahinga muna yung puso ko. Trabaho mo. Busy pa kami sa promo ng movie and I’ve started taping for a new teleserye, ‘A Love To Last’, with Bea Alonzo and Ian Veneracion. Pero bago yun, sana po, suportahan natin ang ‘Mano Po 7: Chinoy’ na opens this Wednesday sa mga sinehan nationwide.”
