Ang sarap kiligin, lahat ng tao na in love, nai-in love,&quot; Barbie remarked.</p><p>She further highlighted: &quot;Very relatable rin kasi siya di ba? &#x27;Yung pinapakita natin kung paano tayo unang na in love, paano magbre-break, paano maga-away.&quot;</p><p>David added that he thinks love teams are popular in the Philippines because &quot;it&#x27;s a form of escape&quot; for many. &quot;&#x27;Yung iba nagsasabi meron daw silang anxiety and because of us na nakakatulong tayo sa kanila kaya I&#x27;m super grateful na may love team.&quot;</p><div><iframe width="990" height="557" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E_9XMxVM5mc" title="Bida/Bida | Episode 3: Love Team Mo, Love Team Ko with MaThon and BarDa | Netflix Philippines" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Maris also pointed out that love teams is a concept that has already been going on for a long time and has turned some reel partners to real couples.</p><p>&quot;Tsaka nasimulan siya ng mga actors way, way back and then nagkaka-work sila tapos nagkaka boyfriend-girlfriend tapos &#x27;yung mga fans nila oh my god,&quot; she said.</p><p>On when did she recognize that she had onscreen chemistry with Anthony, Maris replied: &quot;Feeling ko after namin ma-shoot &#x27;yung first few scenes namin together.&quot;</p><p>She recounted: &quot;We are way ahead kung sa ano &#x27;yung ine-air eh so we didn&#x27;t know kung ano &#x27;yung magiging reaction ng mga tao. We didn&#x27;t expect na ganun &#x27;yung gravity ng mga scenes namin so parang dun ko na-realize  na oh my gosh meron nga ata kaming something.&quot;</p><p>The love teams also discussed on what they think is easier: to make people kilig or laugh?</p><p>Maris replied: &quot;Ewan ko madali siya both for me personally kasi ako &#x27;pag nagsho-shoot ako or kunwari may eksena ako, I make sure I am happy and present. May ibibigay ang co-actor mo, magre-react ka lang, pasahan siya ng energy, tulungan siya.&quot;</p><p>Barbie agreed: &quot;Tama ka madali both pero para sa akin nai-enjoy ako kapag nakakapagapasaya ako ng tao. Parang ang fulfilling niya kapag nakakapagpasaya ako ng tao. Kapag ka naman nagpapakilig, magwo-work siya if okay kayo ng ka-ekesena mo. Siguro mas may effort lang kasi may kasama ka eh so dapat mag-glue kayo together. Hindi pwedeng ikaw lang, hindi pwedeng siya lang, dapat saluhan.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>After working on the <em>Maria Clara at Ibarra</em> series, David and Barbie will be starring in the upcoming series <em>Pulang Araw.</em></p><p>Meanwhile, Maris and Anthony will be heading to the big screen after they starred in the series<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/CAntbuymelove"><strong> </strong><em><strong>Can&#x27;t Buy Me Love</strong></em></a>.</p><p>In a previous interview, Maris and Anthony shared their preparations for their upcoming project and what fans can expect this time around.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/7/2/maris-racal-anthony-jennings-talk-about-their-characters-in-upcoming-movie-1002"><strong>READ:Maris Racal, Anthony Jennings talk about their characters in upcoming movie</strong></a></div><p>&quot;Iba naman to.
