“Ganun po talaga, hindi mo naman makukuha lahat. Merong makakapansin sa iyo, merong hindi. Pero hindi po masama ang loob ko,” the Kapuso star told members of the press on May 24, Thursday.
The 25-year-old actor was poised to sweep acting awards this year with his acclaimed portrayal in the 2011 Cinemalaya independent film “Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa,” for which he won acting trophies from the Golden Screen Awards and the Star Awards for Movies.
But the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino, which runs the Urian awards, nominated Rocco’s “Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa” co-star Paulo Avelino in the Best Actor category instead.
Still, Rocco said this only motivates him to work harder next time.
“Basta ako po, nagpapasalamat po ako doon sa mga nakapansin at nagbigay sa akin ng award,” he added.
On juggling career, love life
Despite the snub, Rocco still has a lot to be thankful for. He just wrapped up taping for his afternoon soap opera “The Good Daughter” and is the lead star of the independent film “Lam-Ang.”
The actor denied rumors that the production took a shooting break due to budget problems. According to Rocco, shooting resumes in June.
“Wala naman po talagang problemang ganun. Kinausap ko naman po yung producer namin, wala namang problema. Wala raw naman pong problema sa budget.”
Rocco explained, “Schedule lang naman po ang problema. Ang totoo po kasi, naka-schedule talaga itong break namin for May. Tapos sa June 28 na po ang balik namin ng Ilocos para mag-resume ng shooting.”
Does his special friend Sheena Halili ever get jealous of his busy schedule and how it makes him work with a number of actresses?
“Hindi naman. Busy rin si Sheena sa work e,” he shared. Sheena is part of the weekly sitcom “Tweets for My Sweet” and the daily show “Alice Bungisngis and Her Wonder Walis” on GMA-7.
He added that they try to make time for each other despite their hectic work schedules.
“Kung gugustuhin mo talaga may paraan naman. Kahit yung tipong sabay lang kaming mag-lunch o mag-dinner, ganun. May communication naman kami pag magkalayo kami.”
Is Rocco open to working with Sheena in a movie or a television show?
“Why not? Yun naman ang sinasabi ko e, kahit kanino pwede akong i-pair lalo na kay Sheena pa, di ba? Pero syempre GMA pa rin ang magde-decide pagdating sa ganyan. Pero sana, gusto ko rin.”
