“Mas exciting ang bagong season kasi hindi na lang basta dalawa lang ang maglalabang contestant,” he says. “We’ll have three-way battles or even four-way battles, kaya mas exciting ang labanan.”
So who are the celebrities that he wants to guest in their show this new season? “Sinabi ko na noon pa, ang AlDub sana. Kaya lang, hindi pumuwede si Maine Mendoza, kaya si Alden Richards lang ang nag-guest sa amin at si Jerald Napoles ang nakalaban niya. Sana, this time, sila ni Maine ang maging guest. Hindi as magkapareha ha, kundi bilang magkalaban. Baka dahil sa paglalaban nila, doon sila magkabalikan,” he laughs.
So it means she has a bigger chance of winning than Alden? “Not necessarily. Kasi si Alden is obvious na very talented. Even in his commercials now, you can see him na kumakanta at sumasayaw. Nagko-concert nga siya, e. So kayang-kaya niya rin yan. I’m sure lalaban siya nang husto.”
If ever he’d be the one to compete, who would like to be his opponent? “Siempre, maga-ambition din lang ako, pipili na ko ng mahirap abutin, di ba? Gusto ko si FMG (he’s referring to GMA Chairman and CEO Felipe M. Gozon) o kaya si Digong (Pres. Duterte.) Kanta naman ng kanta si Pres. Digong, di ba? Dito, magkakaalaman na. Tingnan lang natin kung puede. E, kung hindi, di kahi sino na lang na gusto nilang itapat sa’kin.”
Of course, the ideal choice would be his former colleagues and friend, Ogie Alcasid. But this will be just a pipe dream since Ogie is now at ABS-CBN.
