Franki Russel at Diego Loyzaga
TULAD ng nababasa naming comments mula sa mga netizens, naniniwala rin kami na magdyowa pa rin hanggang ngayon sina Diego Loyzaga at Franki Russel.
Saksi kami kung gaano ka-sweet sa isa’t isa ang dalawa nang makita namin silang magkasama sa private screening ng Vivamax Original movie na “Pabuya” na idinirek ng Italian-American filmmaker na si Phil Giordano.
Bago magsimula ang screening, nakasabay namin sina Diego at Franki sa pagpasok sa Cinema 7 ng Gateway Cineplex at doon nga namin nakita ang kanilang super closeness.
In fairness, bagay na bagay naman ang hunk actor sa dating housemate ng “Pinoy Big Brother”. Base sa kanilang tinginan at body language, masasabi naming espesyal ang kanilang pagtitinginan.
Bukod dito, kitang-kita rin namin nang kunin ni Franki ang soda in can na hawak ni Diego at uminom din dito. Ang sweet nila, jiva? Ha-hahahaha!
Kung matatandaan, sa panayam kay Diego ng isa pang former “PBB” housemate na si Rico Robles sa rsa RX93.1 noong June 2022, diretsahang inamin ng aktor na nagdi-date sila ni Franki.
Kaya naman after ng private screening ng movie nilang “Pabuya” ay natanong ang dalawa kung ano ba talaga ang kanilang “status” o “label.”
Sagot ni Franki, “The value of Diego to me, he has a big spot in my heart, sa puso ko. He’s someone na I trust, his mga advice.
“Siyempre, sobrang experienced siya sa industry natin. So, feeling ko ‘pag may tanong ako, I trust his…his advice is genuine and I feel that he cares about me the way I care about him.
“And I’m very lucky that he’s my first leading man in my first movie sa Viva. So, very grateful for you Diego,” pahayag pa ni Franki na talagang lumaban din sa hubaran at churvahan sa “Pabuya.”
Sa naging sagot naman ni Diego, hindi rin niya diretsahang inamin kung girlfriend pa rin niya ang dalaga, “Uhm, I’m pretty sure it’s pretty well-known ‘coz we were public when we’re dating. So, I mean, it’s obvious that Franki and I share a deep relationship.
“And I promised to her when I first met her, I’ll be that one guy. Well, there might be another.
“But I promise that I’ll be a true friend for you in this industry. If there’s anything you ever need to know or wonder or think about, you can ask me.
“You can come to me and just ask with nothing in return pretty much. I’m just offering a friendship here,” lahad ng aktor.
Patuloy pa niya, “And so, it’s kinda, you know, resonated on the film (Pabuya) because we weren’t, like, try not outshine one another or be better with one another.
“We were just like ensemble, the whole cast and director to just make a good movie. So, that’s what we aimed for.
“And so, I guess, like, yeah, our friendship was seen on the screen and so that’s why, I guess, it was so easy to click because, yeah, we are that close to one another,” ang paliguy-ligoy pang pahayag ng binata.
Sundot pang sagot ni Franki, “We are just two people living life, working in this industry, and working hard on ourselves. And, I care about you Diego. Mahal mo ba ako? Hahaha! Miss na kita, e.”
Ang mga pahayag ni Franki ay ilan sa mga binitiwan niyang linya sa una niyang pelikula, kaya ang kinikilig na sey si Diego sa mga sinabi ni Franki, “Ha-hahaha! She’s saying a line already.”
Samantala, natuwa naman sina Diego at Franki sa mga positive comments na natanggap nila mula sa mga nanood ng “Pabuya.”
“It was definitely fun working with Franki. She’s different on the set and in a working environment. I enjoy it watching how she unraveled and how she consumed the set with her liveliness.
“And watching it again on the big screen, it just gives me flashbacks. Like on being in the set with her, what she’s afraid of, what she’s comfortable with, and it was pretty much going through the behind the scenes again.
“But it was, the way it came out, of course, because of Direk and everybody on the post-prod. It turned out really nice,” pahayag pa ni Diego.
