Regine says viewers are now smart enough to know what's real and what's not

Regine Velasquez talks about her new leading man in the prime time series I Heart You Pare. Ano nga ba ang masasabi niya kay Dingdong Dantes?

Very busy ngayon ang Asia’s Songbird na si Regine. Aside from the preparations for her wedding in December, she is currently filming two films and taping for the prime time series, I Heart You Pare, where she will be paired with Dingdong Dantes. Kamusta na nga ba ang reunion nila ni Dingdong? “I'm really happy na I'm working with him now, for the first time in a soap, and it’s a pretty exciting project. At saka kakaiba din yung role para kay Dingdong kasi mai-in love siya sa bakla or at least iniisip niya na bakla yung character niya," kuwento ni Regine sa iGMA.tv. “Hindi ko rin inisip na siya ang ibibigay na leading man sa akin, but I am very flattered," she added. Hindi naman kaya magkaroon ng problema sa mga fans ng Dingdong-Marian love team ang kanilang pagtatambal? “Ako naman, hindi naman ako nali-link sa mga leading man ko eh, hindi naman ako nagiging love team, although ang nakakatuwa kasi nakakaroon kami ng followers. Like meron kami followers ni Aga, may followers kami ni Robin, and may followers kami ni Mark Anthony." She added that she believes that the viewers are now smart enough to know what’s real and what’s not. “Alam nila after ng show I'm Regine and they know I have my own life and I think it’s a good thing na kapag pinapanood nila ako sa mga ganitong klaseng soap," paliwanag niya. “Naniniwala sila na bagay ‘yung mga characters namin talaga. Pero after nun alam nila na iba na. They always associate me lang with the character, and I think that’s a good thing." Nakatakdang simulan ang taping ng series sa Vigan, Ilocos Norte. Natapos na rin ang workshop nila ni Dingdong. Abangan ang opening salvo ng GMA 7 for 2011 na I Heart You Pare. - Loretta G. Ramirez, iGMA.TV
