MANILA -- Actress Criza Taa admitted that it was really good to attend the Star Magical Prom 2024 with a date.

This year, Taa, who said she's entering her "soft girl era," walked the ivory carpet with actor Harvey Bautista.

"Kakaiba 'yung feeling and actually sobrang napagaan ni Harvey ang life ko this prom kasi grabe niya ako alalayan and grabe niya rin ako alagaan. So it's nice," Taa said.

"Kakaibang experience siya. Kasi last time very independent ako sa prom. So it's nice to have someone na kasama mo lumakad and kasama mo para ma-experience ang prom," she added.

Last year, Taa rejected the promposal of Josh Worsley and attended the Star Magical Prom solo, while Bautista invited actress Bianca de Vera to be his prom date.

In an interview, Bautista admitted that he also felt nervous that Taa will turn down his promposal.

"Kasi may opportunity pa rin na magno-no ito (si Criza) sa akin, even though medyo confident ako na hindi siya magno-no pero may chance pa rin 'yon," Bautista said.

In a video released by Star Magic last week, Taa thought that she will be doing a look test for their project "Deadline" in Antipolo when Bautista surprised her with a dinner and asked her to be his date to this year's Star Magical Prom.
