Sanya and Rocco not a romantic couple yet

Despite their closeness, brought about by their working together for one year on the set of GMA Network’s trend-setting telefantasya “Encantadia,” co-stars Rocco Nacino and Sanya Lopez insist they are not playing beautiful music together just yet.

Although there is now a special bond between them, Sanya and Rocco stressed their relationship has always bordered on friendship, not as boyfriend-girlfriend.

But Sanya was quick to add that to her, Rocco is very much a boyfriend-material.

“Masaya ako sa pag-aalaga sa akin ni Rocco sa set, especially while we’re working for ‘Haplos.’ He has always been very supportive of me and I appreciate that very much,” Sanya said at the press conference of “Haplos.”

On the other hand, Rocco said: “Sanya touched my life by inspiring me to do my best.”

On “Haplos,” Sanya plays Angela Alonzo, a physical therapy undergraduate whose goal in life is to find and love a man as amazing as her father Renato Alonzo, played by Emilio Garcia. Rocco plays Angela’s boyfriend Gerald Cortez, a handsome and hardworking salesman.

“Haplos” starts airing on GMA on July 10 after “Impostora.”

Love of nature

Aside from the entertainment value of GMA Network’s primetime series “Mulawin Vs. Ravena,” the people behind its production don’t fail to inculcate in viewers the importance of protecting the environment.

The young cast of the series – Bianca Umali, Miguel Tanfelix, Dion Ignacio and Derrick Monasterio – has taken this advocacy to heart. They involved themselves recently in a tree-planting project in Tacloban at the Northern Tacloban National High School.
