“Yes I'm dating someone but I really want to keep it more private,” Derek said at the press conference of his new Kapatid fantaserye “Kidlat.”
He refused to name his new girl, but hinted that she’s non-showbiz. And while he cannot speak for the future, Derek hopes Angelica would be his last showbiz girlfriend.
“I’ve been in a high-profile relationship, it’s very hard. Angel and I found it very hard. I think I want Angel to be the last girl that I had a relationship in the industry. But you never say never.”
“I'm really happy with my life. Ang puso ko is healed. I'm done with crying. I've done that. I'm on my feet and I'm moving forward.”
Derek took with him lessons Angelica and their relationship taught him.
“Every day you try to better yourself. Am I a better guy than yesterday? Yes. You never stop learning and the break up was a big learning for me."

Moving on
Derek plays a superhero, which he describes as “very human” in “Kidlat,” his first TV5 series.
"The great thing about Kidlat is he's very endearing. Even though he's out there fighting crime, he still has to worry about paying the rent or helping his family. Everyone can relate to him," Derek said.
Derek, a fan of superhero movies wants his character to be different from other superheroes.
“I really want to separate Kidlat from superheroes like Batman or Iron Man. I will humanize him. He's not a superhero who has power or from another planet. He is a regular guy. Something happens to him and his mother, which gives him this special talent.”
Derek co-stars with Nadine Samonte and Ritz Azul in the upcoming Kapatid series. The network also tapped "X-Men" and "Dare Devil" Hollywood designer to help create Derek’s costume.
