<img class="contentArticleImage" src=""/>After doing music for more than a decade now, Rico Blanco takes on a new challenge in his career by acting in the new primetime teleserye Imortal.&#x27;nbsp; From being a member of the band Rivermaya to going solo as a singer-musician, Rico had created numerous original songs, but little is known about his personal life.&#x27;nbsp; During the press conference for Imortal, Rico told <a href="http://push.com.ph/" _fcksavedurl="http://PUSH.com.ph">PUSH.com.ph</a> and other reporters that he strongly believes that intrigues are not the only way an artist can promote himself.&#x27;nbsp; &#x27;Contrary to general perception, that that&#x27;rsquo;s the only way to do things, I believe one can have a good relationship with the media that will give the artist &#x27;lsquo;yung option how they want to market themselves.&#x27;nbsp; I don&#x27;rsquo;t want to offend artists who enjoy talking about their personal lives.&#x27;nbsp; If that&#x27;rsquo;s their thing, to each his own and I fully respect that.&#x27; Rico used his music career as an example, which became very successful more because of the quality of his work rather than mostly false and irrelevant intrigues.&#x27;nbsp; &#x27;I believe pwede naman mag-offer ang artist ng ibang bagay.&#x27;nbsp; All throughout my career na mahaba-haba na rin, I&#x27;rsquo;ve always let my work speak on my behalf. Kung noon music, ngayon acting naman, hopefully.&#x27; The 37-year-old rock star was once romantically linked to KC Concepcion, daughter of Sharon Cuneta.&#x27;nbsp; Now that he is doing teleserye, just like KC, is he willing to work with the Megastar&#x27;rsquo;s daughter?&#x27;nbsp; Rico briefly answered, &#x27;I&#x27;rsquo;m not interested.&#x27; Rico said he is not even keen on doing a guest appearance on KC&#x27;rsquo;s morning talk show Simply KC, even if it&#x27;rsquo;s for the promotion of Imortal.&#x27;nbsp; &#x27;There are many avenues naman how to market something.&#x27;nbsp; I believe we have more than enough channels.&#x27;nbsp; I don&#x27;rsquo;t think that that&#x27;rsquo;s needed.&#x27;nbsp; If it&#x27;rsquo;s up to me, I&#x27;rsquo;d rather not.&#x27;&#x27;nbsp; When asked if the network&#x27;rsquo;s big bosses will require him to guest on Simply KC, Rico only answered, &#x27;I don&#x27;rsquo;t think they can require me.&#x27; Rather than making a big fuss about intrigues concerning his private life, Rico enjoyed talking about his working experience in Imortal.&#x27;nbsp; He described lead star Angel Locsin as very caring to co-stars, just like what many actors have said about the actress.&#x27;nbsp; &#x27;Alam mo &#x27;lsquo;yung sinabi ni John Lloyd (Cruz) na maalaga si Angel, totoo &#x27;lsquo;yun.&#x27;nbsp; Parang lahat kami sa set inaalagaan niya, &#x27;lsquo;Kumain ka na ba?&#x27;rsquo;&#x27;nbsp; Lalo na sa akin na baguhan (sa pag-arte). Kapag wala pa akong eksena sasabihin niya sa akin, &#x27;lsquo;Matulog ka muna.&#x27;rsquo;&#x27;nbsp; Kasi dahil excited ako sa mga eksena, kahit madaling araw na gising na gising pa rin ako.&#x27;nbsp; Parang barkada kung makakwentuhan si Angel.&#x27;nbsp; Although we just met because of this project. Sobrang totoong tao siya that&#x27;rsquo;s why it&#x27;rsquo;s very easy to get along with her.&#x27; About lead actor John Lloyd Cruz, who plays Rico&#x27;rsquo;s adopted brother, Rico explained that rather than feeling intimidated b

Rico Blanco is not keen on doing a guest appearance on Simply KC, even if the management requires him to.
