Thus, she and Direk Froy Allan Leonardo, who’s also one of the directors of the said series, made a conscious effort not to talk about it anymore in order to help her focus in this new role. The production team assisted them, as well, by sending materials that could help them in their portrayals and conducting script-reading sessions. Besides, her leading man was easy to work with, so it didn’t take much time for them to jive.Kiko echoed this by imparting that they were also able to talk with the mom of one of the letter senders, which greatly helped them in further knowing them. Even though this is their first time working together, he told DJ Jhai Ho how much he enjoyed being with Charlie as difficult scenes became easy, while easy scenes turned hard. He also recalled some of the memorable scenes they did and even relayed that although his character is far from who he really is in real life, he’s still able to relate since the letter senders were from Tiaong, Quezon and their family has a farm there, too.Charlie, on the other hand, confessed that was initially nervous prior to their shoot, but that instantly eased up during their look test, wherein he jestingly hit her over a joke and started talking about their common friends. They may not be able to talk much about work, but she didn’t fret since both of them knew what they should do.When asked by host DJ Jhai Ho if they think it’s possible for them to find true love online or through dating apps, Charlie said that although she hasn’t tried it yet, the story of Raquel and Ralph made her realize that it’s still possible, even a long-distance relationship. Kiko, meanwhile, commented that anyone doesn’t have the right to judge people who found the love of their loves online since it really happens in the real world. He added that this episode gave him a new insight on LDR, which he actually considers impossible.As to how they would describe each other in one word, Kiko uttered “kind” since it was Charlie who first broke the ice between them by dropping a joke. She regarded him as “kind,” too, adding that he’s polite, gentleman, open-minded, and collaborative.Catch Charlie and Kiko this coming Saturday, April 23, on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/maalaalamokaya">Maalaala Mo Kaya</a>’s #MMKMyDreamGroom episode on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-kapamilya-channel-12340" style="box-sizing:border-box;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration:none;font-family:Montserrat, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">Kapamilya Channel</a><span style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Montserrat, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);float:none;display:inline !important">, <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/abs-cbn-goes-full-blast-on-digital-launches-kapamilya-online-live-on-youtube-and-facebook-12718" style="box-sizing:border-box;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration:none;font-family:Montserrat, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">Kapamilya Online Live</a><strong style="box-sizing:border-box;font-weight:bolder;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Montserrat, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">, A2Z Channel 11, TV5, and <a href="https://iwanttfc.com">iWantTFC</a>.
