Jason Abalos Doesn't Mind Playing Second Lead

Jason Abalos said that he doesn’t mind playing second lead in Reputasyon since he has had his fair share of exposure on other Kapamilya shows. “Natuwa ako kasi sa Alynna at Bianong Bulag, binigyan ako ng project na lead role talaga. Yung mga ganito, nakakatuwa kasi humingi sila ng tulong ko para magbigay ng suporta sa isang show. Una yung Agua Bendita, si Matteo (Guidicelli) at Andi (Eigenmann) kailangan mo suportahan sila ’di ba? Parang ako, nakakatuwa kasi ginagamit nila akong poste para panawid sa aming tatlo nila Cristine (Reyes) at Rayver (Cruz). Ang mahalaga yung tiwala nila (ABS-CBN management) sa akin buong-buo.”



While he would certainly welcome bigger projects coming his way, Jason explained that longevity in showbiz is what he’s really aiming for. In fact, the talented actor has never been accused of being particular about his roles from the very start. “Ang hirap naman kung ngayon may trabaho ka, tapos bukas maprapraning ka kakaisip kung anong susunod mong project. Kaya okay sa akin ang nangyayari sa career ko, kasi ang plano ko gusto ko tumagal. At the same time, yung craft mo napag-aaralan mo ng mabuti. Mas minamahal mo siya kasi ang dami mong nadi-discover sa bawat project na ginagawa mo.”



Jason, who recently starred in Cinemalaya’s Rakenrol, expressed how happy he is now that more Filipinos have come to appreciate such indie films. “Nakakatuwa kasi nanood ako ng Cinemalaya. Sobrang dami ng tao. Naalala ko nung nag-Endo kami nun, bilang lang ang tao eh. Pero ilang taon lang ang dumaan, ngayon lahat ng tickets sold out at sa pagkakaalam ko umabot ata ng 50,000 ang nanood ng Cinemalaya,” said the 26-year-old who has top-billed Endo (2007) and Adela (2008) among others. “Hanggang ngayon willing ako gumawa ng indie film kasi yun ang nagbukas sa akin ng realidad ng showbiz eh, dun ko nakita yung totoong trabaho.”

Jason Abalos Admits Going Out With Jewel Mische

Actor Jason Abalos admitted he is going out with actress Jewel Mische.

In an interview during a press conference for his newest afternoon series "Reputasyon," Abalos promptly clarified, however, that he has been going out with Mische only to go to church and attend service.

"Well, 'yon po. Naimbitahan po ako sa church nila at ako ay natutuwa dahil kumbaga magmula ng nag-showbiz ako eh ang layo ko sa Diyos. Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanya kasi siya ang dahilan para magbalik ako sa ating Maykapal," Abalos said.

Abalos proudly said that Mische is an angel sent from up above to guide him.

"Para sa akin isa siyang anghel para maisip na imbitahan kami para magbagong buhay," he added.

Abalos said he met Mische in Boracay with some of their friends.

The actor said that right now he's trying his best to attend the church service every week at Cathedral of Praise on Taft Avenue, not only because of Mische but for himself.

When asked if there's something special going on between him and Mische, Abalos replied: "Pwede kong ipagdasal 'yan. Sobrang bait niya. Kumbaga wala kang makikitang flaw."

Jason Abalos on Reputasyon

Jason Abalos said that he does not feel uncomfortable being the third wheel in the team up of real-life couple Cristine Reyes and Rayver Cruz in the upcoming teleserye, Reputasyon, which will premiere on July 11. Jason reasoned, “Kasi alam ng lahat na nagtatrabaho lang kami, so yung mga isyung mga ganyan, tungkol sa mga love life, sa kanila na lang yon.”

He continued that he is actually good friends with Rayver so he is confident that it won’t be a problem to the latter that he will be the other leading man of Cristine. In a separate interview, Rayver described Jason being “like a brother” to him.

This is not the first time that Jason will be paired up with Cristine because they already teamed up in the 2008 teleserye, Eva Fonda. In Reputasyon, Jason will portray Boyet, the guy who will help the family of Cristine’s character to regain their reputation after losing their family’s honor due to a turn of events.

Jason explained that he was glad when he found out that he was going to be working again with Cristine. Apart from the actress, Jason has already worked with his other co-stars so taping is a breeze. “Di na ko ganun kabago sa showbiz [so] karamihan sa kanila nakatrabaho ko na rin so masaya masayang kasama,” he said. Also starring in Reputasyon are Aiko Melendez, Jaclyn Jose, Lito Legaspi, and a lot more.

Jason also said that Cristine has gotten better as an actress compared to how she was in Eva Fonda. “Iba siya. Sobrang galing niya ngayon kumbaga dito sa Reputasyon ipanlalaban niya ‘yung acting, ang galing talaga.”

Cristine Reyes Happy for her Leading Men in Reputasyon

Hindi maikakaila na going strong ang relasyon ngayon nina Cristine Reyes at Rayver Cruz sa kabila ng mga kontrobersiyang pinagdaanan nila. Sa katunayan ay sobrang sweet sila sa isa’t isa habang nasa backstage sa ginanap na Star Creatives trade launch noong June 16. Excited at super blessed ang pakiramdam nila dahil muli silang magkakatambal sa teleseryeng Reputasyon. “Sobrang saya ko kasi siyempre pag nagte-taping, minsan magdamag kami sa set. At least nandyan siya katrabaho ko din. Kahit na maging super busy man, ok lang kasi nagkikita pa rin naman kami sa set,” natutuwang kwento ni Cristine sa Push.com.ph.

Kung ang ibang celebrity couples ay iniiwasang magkatrabaho sa pelikula or teleserye, mas madali raw para kina Cristine at Rayver ang maging magka-love team dahil gamay na nila ang isa’t isa. Bukod pa dito ay maganda naman ang pagtanggap ng Kapamilya viewers noong minsang magkatrabaho sila sa Kristine Series. “Nag-start na kaming mag-taping pero hindi pa kami nagkakasama sa eksena ni Rayver. Para sa akin siguro madali na siya ang ka-partner ko on screen kasi kumportable kami sa isa’t isa. Pwera lang kung magloloko ito. Mahilig kasi siyang mangasar, eh ako naman pikon,” pag-amin pa ng aktres.

Masaya rin si Cristine dahil reunion project din nila ito ni Jason Abalos na una niyang naging leading man sa Eva Fonda. “Okay naman yung magiging love triangle namin. Basta si Jason makikilala ko sa probinsiya tapos si Rayver naman taga-Manila. Excited akong maka-work ulit si Jason. Siyempre yung first soap ko sa ABS-CBN siya ang nakasama ko. Pero so far wala pang chance na makapag-bonding kami dahil magkahiwalay naman kasi yung standby area namin sa set tsaka kakaumpisa pa lang din naming mag-taping.”

Dagdag pa ni Cristine, ibang-iba ang character niya sa Reputasyon kumpara sa mga nakaraan niyang teleserye dahil hindi siya magpapa-sexy this time around. “Ang role ko dito ay si Agnes, isa akong student at mapagmahal na anak. Gaganap na parents ko sina Lito Pimentel at Jaclyn Jose. Wala akong sexy scenes dito, wholesome ito. Siguro parang suggestive yung title ng soap, pero kapag napanood ni’yo malalaman niyo bakit tinawag na Reputasyon. Ayoko muna sabihin yung ibang detalye. Basta abangan na lang nila ang Reputasyon soon on ABS-CBN.”
