Dion Ignacio Hardly Recognize In His Role As Siklab, A Ravena Who Wants To Usurp Dennis Trillo's Throne As King Of Halconia In 'Mulawin Vs. Ravena'


DION IGNACIO is hardly recognizable in his role as Siklab in “Mulawin Vs. Ravena” because of the face paint they put on him. But still, Dion is very thankful that he’s a part of the big telefantasya.
"Ang laking produksiyon nito at puro magagaling ang mga kasama headed by Dennis Trillo,” he says. “I play an original character, wala roon sa original ‘Mulawin’. Ravena ako rito, so madalas, kaeksena ko si Dennis, and si Roi Vinzon who plays my father, with Ara Mina as Vultra ang siyang mother ko. Mayabang ako rito. Later, kakalabanin ko si Dennis as the king of Halconia. Gusto ko siyang sulutin. Mai-in love din ako rito kay Lovi Poe as Magindara, the sirenang goddess of water.

Buti nga may regular show na uli ako kasi ang tagal ko na ring bakante. My last show was yung ‘Magkaibang Mundo’ pa na kontrabida ko kay Louise de Reyes and that was last year pa.”

Dion is a member of the original Starstruck 1. Most of his batchmates are now married or with kids like Mark Herras, Jennylyn Mercado, Nadine Samonte, Yasmien Kurdi, Katrina Halili, Cristine Reyes, Anton dela Paz and Alvin Aragon. But he himself has remained single. “31 pa lang naman ako. Sobrang tanda na ba yun? Somehow, nakakainggit din when I see their children, pero ayoko namang sumugod sa pag-aasawa nang hindi ako handa at baka hindi magtagal. Hindi lang naman ako ang single kundi sina Sheena Halili rin, Rainier Castillo and Jade Lopez.”

But he does have a girlfriend. “Non-showbiz. Since October pa kami. Dati ko na siyang kilala but it’s only after 8 years na muli kaming nagkita. Ngayon, magkasosyo rin kami sa isang siomai business. Kung sa harap ng altar ito magtatapos, hindi pa kami sure as of now.”
