Rico Blanco at Maris Racal
TULAD ng nais ipahiwatig ng kantang “You’ll Be Safe Here” na pinasikat ng Rivermaya, ganito rin ang nararamdaman ng Kapamilya actress-singer na si Maris Racal sa piling ni Rico Blanco.
Feeling safe and secured daw ang dalaga kapag magkasama sila ng kanyang boyfriend at bukod dito, napapakalma rin ni Rico ang kanyang isipan kapag may mga gumugulo sa utak niya.
Ito ang bahagi ng sagot ni Maris nang matanong tungkol sa relasyon nila ngayon ni Rico sa nakaraang digital mediacon ng unang acting project nila together ng dating member ng Rivermaya, ang “The Goodbye Girl.”
Paano nga ba niya ilalararan ang OPM icon bilang boyfriend, “Sa akin talaga, pahinga, security. I feel safe when he’s around. Safe ‘yung feeling ko kapag nandiyan si Rico.
“Any kind of problem or overthinking kapag sinasabi ko sa kanya, he always gives this logical reason kung bakit ko ba ‘yun nararamdaman.
“Then unti-unti kong naiintindihan ‘yung self ko or whatever I was thinking,” dagdag pang pahayag ni Maris.
Sey naman ni Rico patungkol kay Maris as a partner, “Ang gusto ko kay Maris is she doesn’t even realize it but nakaka-happy ‘yung vibe niya.”
“It’s something that I think is normal to them magkakapatid. ‘Coz I hang out with the sisters also and the family and even with Maris’s mom and parang that’s the vibe there, parang barkada,” dagdag pang chika ng singer-songwriter.
Kapag magkasama raw sila ni Maris, kusang lumalabas ang sense of humor niya at ang pagiging cool bilang dyowa, “Yung positive side ko nalalabas din kasi nakakalimutan ko din na I’m playful pala. There’s a bit of child-like fun in every person and then she brings that out.”
Tungkol naman sa kanilang future as a couple, sabi ni Rico, “Years from now, I hope that the relationship is deeper and richer with so much more memories, music, active projects and stories. And it seems like we’re gonna take everyone on this journey with us kasi parang ganun na.
“Of course, there are things that are sa amin lang and private lang but I’m hoping lang na it’s going to be more fun pa and more stories in the future,” aniya pa.
Sey naman ni Maris, looking forward siya sa mga magiging “firsts” nila ni Rico bilang magdyowa lalo na kapag tuluyan nang natapos ang COVID-19 pandemic.
“We don’t really get to go out as much, like travel. New memories with him. And mas makikilala pa namin ang isa’t isa,” sey ng dalaga.
Nauna nang sinabi ni Rico na never naman nilang inilihim o itinago sa madlang pipol ang relasyon nila ni Maris, “Hindi naman ako nagtatago ng anything. Baka ito lang ‘yung first opportunity. We were trying to find out, kami ni Maris, sometime ago how it happened.
“Parang little by little lang. Definitely not the first time I met her. Definitely not when we were working on the song and recording,” paglilinaw ng OPM icon.
Unang nag-collab sina Maris at Rico noong 2019 para sa kantang “Abot Langit” hanggang sa ipag-produce na ng singer-actor ng kanta noong 2020 — ang “Not For Me” at “Kahit Na Anong Sablay.”
May, 2021 naman nang aminin ng showbiz couple ang kanilang relasyon at ngayon nga ay magtatambal na sa isang episode ng “The Goodbye Girl.”
