Baka naman yun talaga ang meant to be mangyari sa amin. Sobrang haba ng hair ko, o! Ha ha ha ha! But seriously, professional kaming lahat dito kaya walang ligawang magaganap. Since nung time na mag-workshop kami bago pa mag-start ang taping namin, naging friends na kami. So yung closeness namin, kumbaga, as a barkada lang. We don’t pressure ourselves na kailangan, maging romantically close kami talaga sa sinuman. Pero kung saka-sakaling may mangyayaring ganoon, hayaan nyo, magpapa-presscon agad ako.”
She’s happy to get glowing feedback from netizens for appearing in a two-piece bikini in a recent episode “Meant to Be” shot on a beach resort in Batangas. Her hunky co-stars also appeared shirtless and in board shorts. How did she prepare for her bikini scenes?
“Siempre, nag-diet ako, no carbs, lots of exercise. Kailangang hindi ako mapahiya kasi first time
kong mag-bikini nang ganyan. And so far, I’m happy na very positive naman ang comments na nakuha ko.”
What did her protective parents say about it? “Supportive naman sila. Kasi, beach naman ang eksena at hindi love scene or bed scene. Wholesome po ang show namin kaya kahit nagbikini po ako, wholesome pa rin po ako.”
