Bianca Umali Glad That Her Love Team With Miguel Tanfelix Has A New Primetime Show On GMA-7 And A New Movie, 'Barbie, D'Wonder Beki'

BIANCA UMALI has a new and still untitled primetime TV show with ka-love team Miguel Tanfelix that will start airing on November 27, and they also have a new movie, ‘Barbi, D Wonder Beki’ that opens in theaters on November 29.

“We really feel so blessed kasi tuloy-tuloy ang trabaho namin, both sa big and small screen,” says Bianca who’s becoming more and more of a charmer every day. “Yung ‘Barbi, D’Wonder Beki’ ang first official movie namin na magka-love team kami. Kasi before, child stars pa kami. Sa story, I play Miley at siya naman, si Cyrus. Pangalan pa lang namin, nakakatawa na, di ba? Learning experience para sa amin ang movie kasi nakasama namin sina Paolo Ballesteros, Joey de Leon, Joey Marquez na puro magagaling sa comedy kaya we learned a lot from them, lalo na kay Paolo. Natutulala na lang ako kapag pinapanood ko siya when he gets transformed into Wonder Beki. Sobrang galing niya.”

They’re also busy taping for their new show and someone quips they’re now really inseparable. “E, ayaw rin po naman namin talagang maghiwalay,” adds Bianca. “Parang comfort zone na namin ang isa’t isa kasi child stars pa lang kami, magkasama na kami, hanggang sa naging teeny boppers kami and now, mature roles na nga ang gagampanan namin. Bale eight shows na yung pinagsamahan namin at itong latest show ang most challenging kasi gusto nila kaming lumayo na sa dati naming pa-cute and sweet image. More of heavy drama raw ito and different from the teen-oriented shows we did in the past, kaya kailangang mag-level up na kami talaga.”

Will they be doing their first real kissing scene for the first time? “We don’t know yet. Before kasi, yung kissing scenes namin, puro daya lang talaga. Hindi pa namin alam at this point kung ire-require kaming magka-kissing scene.”

Miguel Tanfelix butts in and says: “Sa akin, okay lang naman. Pero si Bianca, siguro maghihintay pa siyang maging 18 muna siya. Yun kasi gusto ng lola niya, e.”

Even if they’re both busy with work, they do not neglect their studies. Miguel is now a college junior taking up entrpreneurship while Bianca is in grade 12 and will finish high school next year. She intends to take up interior design in college.
