MANILA – Actor Enchong Dee wants to take it slow between him and actress Julia Montes as they spend more time together while working on the upcoming ABS-CBN series “Muling Buksan and Puso.”
Dee and Montes shared something special in the past but it did not end well, mainly because of their busy schedules.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Dee said rebuilding their friendship is more important for him.
“Yung wini-wish namin na magkasama kami every day, nandito kami ngayon sa position na ito. Whatever happens, it will just happen. Ngayon, nandoon kami sa estado na pinapagtibay muna naming ang friendship namin. Doon naman talaga nagsisimula lahat iyon,” he said.
Dee said he does not want to pursue the actress right away as this may be misinterpreted as simply part of the promotions of their show.
“Hindi namin pinipilit. Hindi namin sinasabi ito just for the audience to patronize our show. Sinasabi namin ito because that is what’s happening. ['Yung kilig between us], isa siyang ingredient sa ginagawa naming teleserye,” he said.
Meanwhile, Montes was asked if she is ready to open her heart for Dee anew.
“Wala namang nagsarang puso. Sabi ko nga, wala rin naman kasing naputol sa amin. Nagkailangan lang. siyempre naging busy ako, naging busy siya. Communication lang ang naputol. Wala namang involved na ibang tao,” she said.
It was rumored before that the budding romance between Montes and Dee was short-lived because actor Coco Martin, who was Montes’ leading man at the time, entered the picture.
Dee and Montes, however, already stressed in previous interviews that Martin had nothing to do with their relationship.
