<div><img src='' alt='092113-Enchong_Main.jpg' width='305' height='290' align='left' border='0'>As his Primetime Bida series <i>Muling Buksan ang Puso</i> nears its finale on October 4, Enchong Dee admitted that there will always be pressure whenever he is doing a teleserye. “<i>Mabigat yung </i>pressure <i>na galing ka sa isang </i>hit show <i>kasi hindi mo maiiwasan na ma</i>-compare <i>ka</i> coming from a high ratings show. <i>Ang hirap</i>. So <i>kung ano man yung nabigay sa amin na responsibilidad, binibigay na lang namin lahat kung ano kaya naming ibigay kasi ang laki nung responsibilidad eh,</i>” he admitted.</div><div><br/></div><div>Enchong said the experience of being able to work with veteran actors like Susan Roces, Pilar Pilapil, and Dante Rivero was a good learning experience for him. He learned a lot especially from Susan. “I was really, really excited to be working with Tita Susan because <i>siya na lang yung hindi ko nakakatrabaho sa kanilang lahat. Tuwang-tuwa ako pag naririnig ko yung mga kuwento nung panahon niya kung paano ang artista tapos nasasabi niya kung ano yung mga nagagawa nila noon na hindi na ginagawa ngayon ng mga artista, nakakauwang pakinggan.</i> So now I'm hoping <i>na sana</i> <i>ma</i>-imbibe <i>ko yung mga</i> lessons <i>na tinuturo niya sa sa amin,</i>” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>After being part of successful Kapamilya projects like <i>Ina, Kapatid, Anak</i> and movies like <i>Four Sisters and a Wedding</i> and <i>Tuhog,</i> Enchong said it's been a very busy year for him so far but he does not consider himself one of the favorites of management. “<i>Unang una sa lahat, hindi sinasadya yung pagka-sunod sunod nung mga pangyayari</i>. Supposedly <i>mauuna yung Tuhog kesa sa Four Sisters</i>. <i>At saka nabanggit ko na nung una medyo tinatanggal pa ako sa Tuhog kasi hindi sumasakto sa </i>schedule <i>ko.</i> Even <i>sa</i> <i>Four Sisters and a Wedding medyo may balak na sila palitan ako</i> because of my schedule again. <i>Siguro isa yun sa mga bagay na handa ako gawin, kaya kong magtrabaho ng hindi natutulog. Kaya ko magtrabaho na mainit, hindi nakaligo, wala sa aking kaso yun. Kaya siguro kung sasabihing paborito ako, hindi ko masasabing paborito ako, mas handa lang ako magtrabaho na walang arte,</i>” he explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>Enchong said that even his working relationship with former ladylove Julia Montes has become better now. “<i>Naging maganda na kasi yung samahan namin ngayon. Ayoko na maiba pa yung pagkakaibigan namin kasi</i> we were able to keep that <i>na karamihan sa mga dating nagkaroon ng</i> link <i>ay hindi nagkakaroon ng magandang </i>outcome so <i>hanggang dun na lang. Kumbaga, hayaan na natin sa pagkakaibigan kasi ayaw na namin sayangin kasi nagkaayos na kami kaya hanggang dun na lang. Kasi na-e</i>-enjoy n<i>amin ngayon kung ano man yung naayos namin noon kaya siguro huwag na natin balikan kung ano man yung dati. Kaya </i>even the past we don't talk about it anymore,” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>The 24-year-old actor also reacted to being dubbed as a “John Lloyd Cruz-in-the-making.” Enchong said he is humbled by the compliment. “<i>Unang una sa lahat,</i> John Lloyd is irreplaceable. Idol<i> ko si kuya</i> John Lloyd. <i>Hindi ko alam kung ano yung nagawa ko mula noon hanggang ngayon para masabi ni direk</i> Cathy (Garcia-Molina) <i>pero siguro may isang eksena na ginawa namin na may tinanong siya tapos pagkasagot ko ang sabi nya, 'Alam mo, parehong pareho kayo ni </i>John Lloyd.' <i>Siguro</i> it has something to do with the work. <i>Hindi ko po kayang sagutin yan pero maraming maraming salamat kung nag-a-</i>agree<i> kayo dito</i>,” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>For more Kapamilya updates, log on daily to <a href=''>Push.abs-cbn.com</a> and follow <a href='http://www.twitter.com/Push_Mina'>Push_Mina</a> on Twitter.</div><div><br/></div>
