Are Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali taking their friendship and love team to the next level?
Maybe not yet, but the Kapuso teen stars admit they admire each other.
Bianca revealed she has crush on Miguel at the press conference of their new GMA teleserye “Once Upon a Kiss.”
“Si Miguel siguro, isa siya sa mga hinahangaan ko. Maliban sa madalas kaming magkasama, gusto ko din yung humor niya. Hindi ko alam kung aware siya doon.”
Best friends
Miguel and Bianca became close after they worked in several shows.
“Very close. Parang best friends na nga kami ni Miguel. From workshops, to “Paroa,” to “Basang Sisiw,” to
“Nino,” and ngayong “Once Upon a Kiss,” so yung mga projects namin, siya yung kasama ko. So may lalim na yung friendship namin ni Miguel. Very comfortable na kami sa isa’t isa. Wala kaming adjustments sa isa’t isa,” Bianca said.
Miguel said in a separate interview that he likes Bianca’s beauty and kindness.
“Si Bianca kasi matagal na kaming magkakilala. Simula nung time na magkasama kami, hanggang ngayon naa-appreciate ko yung ganda niya, yung pakikisama niya sa akin, so hinahanggan ko siya. Mabait din siya sa parents ko.”
On Barbie Forteza
The 16-year-old Kapuso actor was linked to Barbie Forteza but no relationship blossomed between them.
“Kami ni Barbie, magkaibigan lang po kami. Nagkasama po kasi kami doon sa “Paroa.”
Miguel doesn’t have plans of courting Barbie or anyone yet because he wants to focus on his career.
“Sa akin kasi, tsaka na muna (yung love life). Yung mga blessings na binibigay sa amin ni Lord at ng GMA, sana hindi masayang.”
Since Miguel and Bianca is GMA’s answer to ABS-CBN’s popular love team KathNIel (Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla), the Kapuso stars admit feeling the pressure of competing with the Kapamilya talents.
Enjoying the journey
“Sa amin as long as magawa naming successful yung show. Hindi namin tinatarget na kompetensyahin yung KathNiel kasi alam namin na malakas at matagal na yung love team nila,” Bianca said.
Miguel, on the other hand, would like to enjoy his journey as a love team with Bianca.
“Nakaka-pressure kasi alam natin na andiyan na sila, kami andito pa lang. hindi namin pipilitin yung sarili namin pero i-enjoy namin yung bawat step ng hagdan papunta doon. Sana makapunta din kami doon.”
“Once Upon a Kiss” starts airing on January 5 after “24 Oras.” It also stars Gabby Eigenmann, Manilyn Reynes, Mylene Dizon, Cris Villanueva, Tessie Tomas, Keempee De Leon, Sabrina Mann, Cai Cortez, Frank Magalona, Maricar de Mesa and Eunice Lagusad.
