Ang natatandaan ko pa nun, si Ma’am Charito Solis (who played the role of Ina Magenta), nagalit yun. Pag sinabi ni Ma’am Charito na, ‘Mag-palda ka!’ Ayun nananginginig na si Ice nun. Pero ayaw niya talaga. Alam ko na talaga,” he recalled. </p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C53GoVCyd48/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2673457.4000000004%2C%22ls%22%3A2672919.0999999996%2C%22le%22%3A2673401.700000001%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/4/15/streetboys-member-spencer-reyes-returns-to-manila-to-perform-in-90s-dance-concert-859"><strong>READ: Streetboys member Spencer Reyes returns to Manila to perform in 90s dance concert</strong></a></div><p>Spencer said he does not mind still being asked about those days because he holds the distinction of the first and only love team partner of Ice, who is now happily married to actress Liza Dino and identifies as a transgender. The Streetboys member also shared how he first found out he would be paired up with Ice onscreen.</p><p>“I don’t mind any questions. Sometimes naman may mga questions na ganun, okay lang. Nung time na yun, kinausap kami ni Bossing (Vic Sotto). Natatandaan ko nun kinakabahan ako kung anong i-mi-meeting namin. Yun nga, sabi niya, ‘Ipi-pair namin kayo.’ I agreed and then minsan sumosobra ako. Alam mo yung aakbayan ko siya tapos wala sa script yung hahalikan ko siya. Ayun, nandidiri na sa akin yun (laughs). Nakangiti siya sasabihin niya, ‘Ikaw ha, sumosobra ka na ha!’ Sabi ko, ‘Sige na, mag-ride ka na lang. Wala, single din ako nun, bata pa ako nun, nung <em>Okay Ka, Fairy Ko,</em>” he revealed.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/4/17/streetboys-meynard-marcellano-denies-rivalry-with-universal-motion-dancers-in-the-90s-2112"><strong>READ: Streetboys’ Meynard Marcellano denies rivalry with Universal Motion Dancers in the ‘90s<br/></strong></a></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C53HpreyQ_a/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A2673474.700000001%2C%22ls%22%3A2672919.0999999996%2C%22le%22%3A2673401.700000001%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="788" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Currently in the country as one of the performers of the Wildcat Queens Production’s event &quot;THE SIGN &#x27;90s Supershow: A Benefit Concert&quot; happening on April 19, Friday, Spencer said he was happy to fly back for a good cause which benefits the younger generation of Pinoy dancers in the country.</p><p>“I arrived April 13.
