After the launch of the book 10 Things We Fight About which he co-wrote with his wife Maricar Reyes, Richard Poon said they are happy with all the good feedback they have been receiving from fans and celebrities alike. “Mabilis siya basahin. Masaya kami, yun yung isa sa mga goal namin na makagawa ng book na practical pero madaling basahin. As in siguro isang CR mo lang matatapos mo yun,” he shared.In the book, the couple shared their most common reasons for misunderstandings and how to work through them. After four years of marriage, Richard said he and Maricar are ready to start a family any time, hopefully with a baby boy. “Minsan niloloko ko siya twins gusto ko pero lagi niyang kina-cancel (laughs). Gusto ko boy kasi pag nauna yung babae para bang siya yung nagiging responsable, yung lalake nagiging alagain. Ayoko. Mas gusto ko yung lalake ang nag-aalaga so mas gusto ko mauna siya. Yun lang naman,” he shared.With his wife’s recent appearance in the hit series <a href='http://entertainment.abs-cbn.com/tv/shows/lalunasangre/main/'>La Luna Sangre</a>, Richard admitted he was proud of the impact Maricar made on the show even though it was just a short stint. “Hindi ko ma-explain eh. I feel happy kasi siyempre nung lumabas siya naka-white grabe nag-trending siya. Pati sa akin nag-me-message yung mga tao na ang ganda ni Maricar na nakaputi siya. By the time na nag-trend siya, hindi naman ako real time na nanunuod so siyempre hinanap ko na until makita ko yung scene na may baril siya,” he said.Richard admitted he was concerned after Maricar sprained her right foot during her initial fight scene with Daniel Padilla on the show. Richard revealed that she continued taping even while injured and she had to wear flat shoes for the rest of her scenes because of the pain. “It’s nice to watch her although it was disturbing for me siguro for ilang weeks mga four or five weeks kasi she got injured. Hindi naman alam ng mga madlang people. Alangan naman sabihin ko napilay yung wife ko sa ankle niya nung ginawa niya yung stunt scene so I kept quiet lang. Pero ang hirap sa bahay kasi iika-ika siya. Yun lang, medyo I had to take care of her tapos galing pa siyang Thailand and then na-bruise din siya sa likod so medyo yung iniingatan ko. Yung mga ganun yun ang iniisip ko sa asawa ko when I’m thinking of La Luna. Pero I’m very fortunate meron akong friends inside the production team. So sila nagsasabi sa akin na yung asawa ko okay naman. So there are people taking care of her,” he added.
