BIANCA UMALI and Migo Adecer are surprised with the strong reception given to them by regular viewers of their primetime GMA show, “Sahaya”. Their scene shot in the rain garnered a lot of likes and positive comments in social media, saying they have very strong chemistry on screen.
“Honestly, kami mismo, nagulat din sa naging strong acceptance ng viewers sa amin in that scene,” says Bianca. “Ang lakas ng impact, e. Gustong-gusto nilang nabasa kami sa ulan at lumitaw raw ang lakas ng sex appeal namin. Ha ha ha!”
“We have no such intention,” says Migo. “Kasi that scene is supposed to be very dramatic dahil nagpapaawa ako kay Sahaya not to leave me. We’re surprised na ganun ang naging dating sa viewers. They saw something else at parang nanonood sila ng soft porn. They were commenting about our sexual chemistry.”
This made some fans of their tandem call their love team JorSah (for Jordan and Sahaya, their names in the show). They’re now boisterously rooting for the JorSah tandem to be the ones to end up in the show and no longer the Sahaya-Ahmed tandem. So where does this put Bianca’s original leading man, Miguel Tanfelix who plays Ahmed, and their BiGuel love team?
“Babalik pa naman si Miguel,” says Bianca. “Nawala lang yung character niya nang umuwi siya sa Tawi-tawi to be with his family. Pero sa totoo lang, mas naging malaki ang paghihirap ni Ahmed kay Sahaya and more viewers prefer them to be together in the end. Ipinakita kasi ni Ahmed ang true love niya for Sahaya in many instances simula pa noong mga bata pa lang sila. Pinag-ipunan niya ng pera si Sahaya para makabili ng sapatos nang pumasok ito sa school. Binabantayan niya lagi si Sahaya ng buong tiyaga at handang ipagtanggol ito sa mga nang-aapi sa kanya. He even sacrificed himself at nagparaya kay Jordan na mas mabibigyan daw siya ng better future. Handa talaga siyang magpakasakit for Sahaya.”
Off cam, who is she closer to, Miguel or Migo? “Siempre po si Miguel pa rin kasi sobrang tagal na naming magkasama in so many different shows. Si Migo, ngayon ko pa lang nakasama. Okay naman ang bonding namin kapag kami ang magkaeksena, but we’re not really that close yet as compared to Miguel na close friend ko na talaga.”
