“Nakakatuwa kasi ang tawag nila sa amin ni Xander is Gia and Jun Ho, the names of our characters in the show,” says Heart. “Alam nilang pinakasalan ako ni Jun Ho so he could secure his custody over his nephew and they’re all hoping he will eventually find himself really falling in love with me.”
Among those who performed with Heart and Xander in Bacolod are Iya Villania who plays Gia’s best friend named Kennedy, and comedian Divine Aucina who plays Gia’s shy and conservative cousin named Clarissa. They all did sparkling musical numbers that truly delighted the crowd.
The video of Heart feeding Xander with our native delicacy, balut, was also a hit when it was posted online. Xander is really very brave in trying all sorts of Filipino dishes and Heart didn’t inform him beforehand what he’s eating.“Nakakatuwa kasi he’s a good sport,” says Heart. “Wala siyang kaarte-arte and it’s obvious he loves all things Filipino at ready siyang i-try kung anong ginagawa at kinakain nating mga Pinoy.”
Heart is also elated that she was chosen by the prestigious international fashion designer to Hollywood stars, Carolina Herrera, to be the endorser of her line in the boutique she opened in Greenbelt recently, so don’t be surprised if you’d see Heart wearing one of Herrera’s creation in “My Korean Jagiya” one of these days.
