Top Notch Er

Rocco Nacino shows you the different ways to be an alpha male.

- Karen De Vera

Did you expect your pairing with Sanya Lopez to blow up like it did?

I was surprised! I’m not usually associated with love teams because that was my way of being versatile enough to work with different actresses. But when I stuck with Sanya, people really enjoyed [our pairing] pinaniwalaan nila na may forever.

How do you feel working with Sanya again on a new show?

[Haplos is] Sanya’s big break and I’m really happy for her. Suportado ko siya! I’ve been helping her a lot [on how to portray] her character and how to switch off from Danaya [her role in Encantadia]. So, what I know about acting, ibinabahagi ko sa kanya

Nice! Sounds like you both get on well. Are you putting on the moves?

For now, it’s a working relationship, but a blossoming one. We’ve been working together almost every day for over a year. Now, we’re doing a new project and so it’s more time for us to bond. It’s complicated, but in a good way. I really like having her around because she’s the closest friend I have. Alam mo yun? There’s a thin line and it’s hard to mix everything. So, we’ll focus on our priorities first. Maybe after the show or, we don’t know, during the show.

Fair enough. Aside from the show, you’ve also got a new flick coming up, right?
