Maris Racal at Rico Blanco
NAGTATAKA ang singer-songwriter na si Rico Blanco sa itinatakbo ng relasyon nila ng Kapuso young actress na si Maris Racal.
Nagkuwento ang binata tungkol sa mga kaganapan sa lovelife nila ni Maris kamakailan matapos matanong kung paano nila pinatitibay ang kanilang relationship.
Ayon sa Kapamilya actor-singer, “Actually nagugulat na lang din kaming dalawa talaga, eh. Kasi ako all these years I thought kailangan ng ganitong level ng hard work.
“I’ve been in relationships na talagang tumagal because of hard work from both sides. Because you hear it all the time.
“But for us, we’re surprised because it does take work but I’ll be really honest, it’s not so hard. So I don’t know the answer. I don’t know what the secret is,” tuluy-tuloy na pahayag ni Rico.
Patuloy pa ng binata, “Be honest siguro sa paghanap mo o pagpili or pagkilatis mo ng potential partner and siguro be honest with yourself and I think that’s what we both were prior to us being together.
“I was already so honest about what kind of person I am. So nung dumating si Maris, heto ako, heto siya. Kasi minsan hindi ka honest sa sarili mo.
“But I’m no expert. To find someone like Maris at this point in my life, I’m probably not the expert. Ha-hahaha! But I’m the expert on not saying never.
“I did say never but Maris changed my mind. Nung bago bago kami medyo kinakabahan kami eh. Sabi ko, ‘Uy, hindi pa tayo nag-aaway hala,’ tapos sabi niya, ‘Bakit mo ba hinihintay yun?’ Sabi ko ‘Hindi ka ba nagtataka.’
“We’re still in the journey so we have a lot of ways to grow pa as a couple and we want to enjoy that,” chika pa ng binata.
Samantala, itinuturing namang blessing ni Rico ang unang pagsasama nila ni Maris sa isang acting project, ang iWant Original series na “The Goodbye Girl” na pinagbibidahan din ni Angelica Panganiban.
“Siguro ang initial reaction ko was, if I’m going to be honest was excitement because I’m curious. We’ve always watched films and series together and we’re serious, eh when it comes to the craft.
“So, nag-uusap kami kung, ‘Anong tingin mo sa ginawa ni Al Pacino dun?’ So na-excite ako na we’re going to be able to work together. Nagbasa kami ng script. Basta nag-agree kami na huwag muna natin kargahan ng emotions,” dagdag pa niya.
“In terms of pressure, siguro kasi matagal na the last time that I acted and I know si Maris medyo hasa. And I really am a fan of her work as an actress objectively speaking.
“I tell her all the time because I’m very honest eh. Especially the closer you are to me, the more honest I am to you. So when she does well I really tell her.
“So alam ko na hasa siya kumbaga and then ako kinakabahan ako nung start. Sabi ko baka nagbago na, nagbago na ba yung language sa set, I’m sure nagbago na yung technology, yung mga ilaw, yung mga lente, yung mga camera, yung mga ganu’n.
“So du’n lang ako medyo na-pressure. Maris does the same for me. If there’s something that I’m doing that I can improve,” lahad pa ni Rico.
