You and Joshua’s love team is probably the hottest of all tween love teams right now. how do you feel now that you are going solo?

Excited and anxious, I don’t know how the fans will react, and if they will receive me as just me. Joshua and I will still be seen together on Tween Hearts, our TV series, which has been extended again, so the fans will still have a chance to see us on TV. But it’s good try new things, so I am also excited.

You are obviously being groomed by GMA to be a big star. do you feel you are ready?

I am thankful for the opportunity. I feel that I’m not ready yet, but since the opportunity is here I will just have to rise to the challenge. not everyone is given this chance, so I’ll do my best. Being a big star is obviously a dream, but it’s not only that. I’d like to become a really good actor so that’s foremost on my mind.

Your movie Tween Academy: Class of 2011 was a commercial success making more money than your rival movie from the other network. what can you say about that?

I’m very happy that the movie did well. We’re all thankful that the fans supported us and we’re looking forward to completing the sequel, which is now in production. About it making more than our rival movie, it didn’t matter. We’re just happy ours was accepted by the public and we hope that this will also lead to more youth-oriented films being shown on the big screen.

Are you open to being paired with other young actors?

Yes. I don’t have to be necessarily paired with Joshua in any project. I would welcome the opportunity to work with other actors. at some point, both Joshua and I will have to outgrow this love team and will need to explore new things for our career. So, yes.

You started at such a young age, do you feel you’ve had the chance to enjoy your childhood?

In the beginning it all felt like play anyway, so I thought I still had that in my life. It’s only now that I am beginning to think of it as work.
