In an interview with members of the press during a pictorial for “Nang Dahil sa Pag-ibig” at the ABS-CBN compound on Friday, February 24, a hesitant Jericho finally revealed his girlfriend is a host at ETC, the lifestyle cable channel.
“Ito na lang (hint), then I'll stop. Host sya sa ETC, isang fashion lifestyle show called “Etcetera.” Pinoy siya, kalog parang ako,” Jericho said.
Very happy
Adding that he’s very happy with his love life, Jericho pointed out that he doesn’t want to discuss his girlfriend since he wants people to know her for her work and for who she really is.
“We just have to talk about it (revealing their relationship in public), para rin sa kanya. I’m sure naman okay rin sa kanya yun, she’s a nice person. All I can say is I’m really happy,” he said.
Jericho explained that he has known the girl for a year and that she also loves surfing like he does.
“Hindi naman sa paga-ano, normal siyang tao sa loob at labas. Basta importante nagkasundo kami sa surfing, mahal siya ng pamilya ko, mga kaibigan ko, sa Genesis (his management company)."
Follow-up
“Nang Dahil sa Pag-ibig” is Jericho’s follow-up to the TV drama “Green Rose.”
He describes his character in the new soap:
“Siya ang may dark side sa soap na ito, pero mabait siya. Meron lang syang dark past.”
Jericho explained that he is excited to work with top caliber like Christopher de Leon and Piolo Pascual in the series because they are very experienced and serious in their craft.
“It’s going to be much easier for me kasi maganda yung makukuha ko sa kanila. These guys are veterans, so kapag binigyan nila ako ng solid meat, ganoon din ang maibibigay ko sa kanila. Ibibigay nila ang kailangan mo. These guys won’t give you less than what you expect,” he said, referring to Christopher and Piolo.
Jericho admitted hesitating at first in accepting the TV drama, but the casting and great story removed his doubts in no time at all.
The story, he goes on, revolves around family, love and forgiveness.
Dream come true
“Matagal ko nang pangarap na makasama si PJ (Piolo) sa soap and sa movie. Sa movie talaga yung pini-pray ko na magkasama kami. As usual, medyo nagdalawang isip ako kase soap, mahaba, mabigat. Pero nakita ko maganda yung story,” Jericho relates.
He adds that the drama doesn’t only focus on love stories, but on family issues as well.
Jericho is just as happy working with female leads Maricar Reyes and Cristine Reyes since he considers them great actresses.
