Regal Entertainment Press Release | July 27, 2008

“Loving you” takes us to the funny, sad and loveable story of a group friends working together in a call center.  Kris Bernal plays the role of the tomboyish Tonee who trades her T-shirt and sneakers for a dress and high heels when she meets her fellow trainee -Ryan, played by Aljur Abrenica. “Sa movie, everytime I see Ryan lumalabas ang pagkababae ko” shares the 19 year old baby faced heartthrob- Kris Bernal. “Yung character ko kasi rockista, mahilig sa banda then when I met Tonee, nainlove talaga ako sa kanya dahil we share the same likes”, echoes the Batch 4 Starstruck Ultimate Hunk.

The cute pair admits having enormous fun while shooting their first movie. Despite their hectic schedule for their TV show teamup in Dyesebel, the lovebirds seem to always enjoy every moment and scene that they’re together in the movie. Kris happily quips, “Grabe, first movie namin and we did four na iba-ibang kissing scenes Sa bar, beach, labas ng bahay at sa baywalk. First kissing scene namin nung nasa labas kami ng bahay, then ikikiss nya ako dapat kaso bumangga yung cap ko sa lips nya, natawa talaga ako sa linya nya dun na –Kung may pipigil pa sakin, mananapak na ako”. Then we had a beach scene sa subic wherein nakatrunks and two piece lang kami ni Aljur very romantic yun kissing namin doon habang nakahiga sa sand, talagang nakakakilig at the same time nakakailang yung moment na yun, ang dami kasing nanonood.” 

Meanwhile Aljur sweetly recalls, “memorable sa akin ang mga kissing scenes namin, talagang nirerehearse pa namin ng ilang beses kaso medyo dyahe lang kasi ang daming tao nanood samin”. “Pero ang unforgettable na scene ko with Kris is yung nagpiggy back kami habang kumakain ng ice cream sa baywalk tapos kiniss ko sya after, wala lang ang sweet lang nun…”  Aljur sheepishly grins.

“There’s a built in attraction among the stars sa lahat ng loveteams dito sa loving you, pero ang pinakaobvious ang attraction ay sina Kris at Aljur kahit offcam makikita mo panay ang tuksuhan nila, panay ang dikit sa isa’t isa kaya talagang nakita ko there’s something between them na alam mo attaracted sila sa isa’t isa. So hindi naging mahirap na ilabas ang kilig factor sa movie at hindi ko na kailangan pang ipush dahil meron na silang nararamdaman sa isat isa. What you see offcam talagang nagtatranscend sa mga eksena nila sa movie”, shares “Loving You” director –Don M.Cuaresma
