NOW it can be told. Hindi pala talaga tatakbo sa next elections si Richard Gomez but the situation presented itself and he took up the challenge.
“I decided lang the night before the last day of filing. Walang makakalaban si Lucy (Torres) on her third term. Nagkaroon lang ng complications nu’ng may pumasok na partido, ‘yung opponent namin, biglang nagkaroon sila ng lakas ng loob na tumakbong mag-asawa. Sa Ormoc kasi, sa district ni Lucy, has the biggest voting population.
“Walang gustong tumakbong mayor. Sabi ko hindi puwedeng walang tatakbo na mayor so I stood up and I took up the challenge. Hindi puwedeng iwanan si Lucy na walang tatakbong mayor,” chika ni Richard sa presscon ng teleseryeng You’re My Home where he is paired anew with his favourite leading lady Dawn Zulueta na ang ganda-ganda pa rin until now.
Maganda ang chemistry ng dalawa, bagay na bagay sila bilang mag-asawa and the people love their love team. Say ni Richard, kaya sila click ay dahil they remained friends through the years, bagay na sinang-ayunan naman ni Dawn.
Actually, wala namang problema ang kani-kanilang mga asawa dahil tanggap nila ang love team ng dalawa.
Say ni Richard, fan ng Dawn-Chard loveteam ang asawa niyang si Lucy.
