"She's nice to work with," he says. "We quickly became comfortable with each other kasi even before we started taping, sabay kaming naging guests sa lifestyle talk show na 'Mars' on GMA News TV. Mula noon, every time I'm asked who I would like to be paired with, laging siya ang sinasabi ko. O heto, ngayon, nagkatotoo na. I really admire her, not only dahil maganda siya kundi napakatotoo niya. The way she talks, you can see she's genuine. When she opens up, you can see malalim siyang kausap."
So is he in love with her? "Siguro hindi love agad. Admiration muna. Kasi yung love, mas maganda kung kilala nyo nang mabuti ang isa't isa. Basta sa ngayon, start pa lang ng show, masaya kami. We don't feel awkward with each other."
In the story, he plays Harry, a young man who woos Kylie with the intention of just hurting her. "Dahil kasi sa father niya, naghirap ang family namin so gusto kong maghiganti sa family nila. But in the process, I really fall in love with her."
After winning the Urian best supporting actor award for the indie film, "Dagitab", he is happy to be doing another indie film, "La Mamadre", with Nora Aunor. "I'm so happy to be working with her. Mag-ina kami rito na nagkahiwalay for 20 years. Masama ang loob ko sa kanya kasi iniwan niya ko, then magkakaroon ng maraming revelations. Siempre, kabado ako kasi superstar ang katrabaho ko, ang dami ng awards. But then, I'm also very excited kasi not everyone is given the chance to work with her so I feel so blessed na sa akin napunta ang project na ito.
