It was their way of bonding with each other on the set in between takes. “<i>Nakapag</i>-heart-to-heart talk <i>kami. Nag-</i>hot seat<i> kami</i> just to get to know each other. <i>Minsan ‘pag</i> may heartbroken <i>diyan</i>, [<i>yung </i>advice <i>na sinabi ko</i>] <i>huwag ka magpapaka</i>-sad <i>sa isang bagay kung sa tingin mo hindi</i> worth it in in the long run. May choice ka eh whether <i>maging</i> happy or sad. <i>Minsan kasi ang babae masyadong</i> emotional, super hurt <i>kaya nahihirapan mag </i>move on. So <i>para sa akin gusto mo ba yun na hindi ka masaya? Kung may </i>relationship<i> ka dapat masaya ka lagi</i>,” he said in a one-on-one interview with <a href='Push.com.ph'>Push.com.ph</a>.</div><div><br/></div><div>On his part, Enrique shared that it’s one of the reasons why he prefers to stay single because a romantic relationship takes a lot of effort. “So <i>may nagtatanong bakit wala akong</i> girlfriend. <i>Sabi ko wala talaga akong</i> time. <i>Kailangan ng oras. Kapag wala kang oras para sa</i> girlfriend <i>mo, hindi naman pwede yun. Gusto ko nandun ako para sa</i> girlfriend <i>ko.</i>” Based on their exchange, the actor said that he realized that girls would always be unpredictable for him. “<i>Basta para sa akin iba talaga mga babae. Hindi mo sila matitimpla</i>. Feeling <i>namin alam na namin, yun pala minsan iba pa rin naiisip nila</i>.”</div><div><br/></div><div>Such heart-to-heart talks helped establish rapport between Julia and Enrique who were once paired in the movie The Reunion. “Okay<i> naman kami dun. Iba din talaga ito kasi mas matagal. Ngayon hindi pa namin alam kasi nag</i>-start<i> pa lang kami. Tignan natin ‘pag pabigat na kung ano yung mangyayari sa </i>tandem <i>namin. May konting</i> awkwardness <i>lang. Pero okay yun eh, kasi ‘pag walang</i> awkwardness <i>hindi nakakakilig. Kapag may ganon, may</i> something. <i>Yun ang gusto ko</i>.”</div><div><br/></div><div>In the story, he plays Francis dela Vega, a high school student who grew up in the States, but will later come home to his affluent family in the province. “<i>Anak ako ni</i> Ms. Agot Isidro <i>at </i>grandson <i>ni</i> Susan Roces. <i>Yung character ko seryoso na pagwapo na may angas na ‘di naman sinasadya kasi laking </i>America<i> lang,</i> feeling Am-boy, <i>yung nakakaasar. Kailangan ng</i> effort <i>para mapangiti si</i> Francis. <i>Pagbalik niya ng</i> Philippines, <i>dun niya makikilala si</i> Julia.”</div><div><br/></div><div>Dubbed as the next ultimate leading man, Enrique feels grateful that he was entrusted with another big project after <i>Princess and I</i>, adding that his long wait for a big break was worth it. “Solid, <i>sobrang salamat. </i>I want to do my best <i>para makita nila tama tayo</i>, no regrets. <i>Gusto ko maging maganda</i> story <i>namin at </i>effective<i> yung </i>characters <i>namin. Kailangan ma-</i>touch <i>natin ang</i> viewers, <i>sana yun ang mangyari</i>.”</div><div><br/></div>
