For the first time, he’s paired with newcomer Sanya Lopez in the show. So how is it? “She’s okay. Bumilib ako kasi parang hindi baguhan sa mga eksenang magkaeksena kami. Hasa na rin kasi siguro sa acting workshops. Ang mahalaga, dedicated siya sa trabaho niya kaya mabilis kaming nagkaroon ng rapport as I can see 100 percent ang ibinibigay niya sa bawat eksena. She’s very pleasant to work with.”

Is it true their plan is to have a destination wedding abroad? “We haven’t really talked about it, pero hindi naman talaga importante ang venue. Mas importante yung commitment at sincerity ng both partners sa gagawin nilang pagpapakasal kasi dapat, lifetime yun.”
Right now, they are also associates in a cookie business that they have called Chunky Dough Cookies. “Jen herself bakes them and it’s doing well kasi she does it with love. So sa ngayon, super dami talaga ang orders. Pati sina Dingdong at Marian, umo-order lagi. Parang paghahanda lang ito for the future kasi we’re not sure if we would be acting naman forever.”
