Christopher de Leon talks about doing a scene again with Nora Aunor: “Pitik… that’s it. Mama Guy has answered. Of course there’s tension, you can’t understand it. The connection is easy. When you’re done, the rapport is there. You know what to do. It’s a nice feeling to see her again. I am so happy that she is doing very, very well, especially in this project. This is a very good vehicle, very good project for Mama Guy and for all of us. So, there’s also [pitik

King of Drama Christopher de Leon is still full of admiration for his ex-wife and showbiz tandem, Superstar Nora Aunor.

Last night, September 22, at SM The Block Cinema 2, after the red-carpet premiere of TV5’s first mini-series, Sa  Ngalan Ng Ina , starring the two of them, Boyet still expressed her love for Ate Guy.

“I’m very proud to be in this project. And I’m so happy to be working again with director Mario O’ Hara.

“And, of course, director Jon Red and the one and only Superstar. Magaling pa rin.

“After eight years [of her break from showbiz], she’s still the one… number one,” said Christopher, referring to Ate Guy.

The actor also enjoyed watching the pilot episode of their mini-series.

“I saw a good product and there’s more to come,” he said.

Christopher plays the role of Pepe Ilustre in  Sa Ngalan Ng Ina . He is married to Rosanna Roces as Lucia Ilustre and has a past with Nora as Elena Deogracias.

Also joining the cast are Ian de Leon, Nadine Samonte, Alwyn Uytingco, Edgar Allan Guzman, Eula Caballero, Karel Marquez, Joross Gamboa, Jay Aquitania, and Eugene Domingo and Bembol Roco have special participation.

Sa Ngalan Ng Ina can be seen   starting October 3 after  Wil Time Bigtime  on TV5.

BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.  Because the characters of Christopher and Nora in the mini-series have a past, the two also admitted that they can relate to it because they also have a past in real life, which even resulted in a child—Ian de Leon.

When Ate Guy was asked by the press if any memories came back now that they were working together on this series, he said: “You know, if two people do something together and this is the result [Ian], then for me you can’t get rid of it.

“Of course, the feeling is that first and foremost, Papa Boyet is a great actor.

“That’s my idol, eh. When we do scenes, I get nervous.

“The relationship, it’s already there, okay? We can’t get rid of it.”

“But, that’s over.”

Ate Guy added that as former partners, it was inevitable that their reunion would still cause a “heartache.”

Christopher seconded this.

The actor said, “Pitik… that’s it. Mama Guy has already answered.

“Of course there’s a tension, you don’t understand. The connection is easy.”

“When you’ve finished working, the report is already there.”

“You know what you have to do. It’s a nice feeling to see her again.”

“I am so happy that she is doing very, very well, especially with this project.

“This is a very good vehicle, very good project for Mama Guy and for all of us.

“So, there’s also [heart palpitations]. It’s always there. Ian is always there too.

“It’s fun, nag-enjoy lang kami sa set. It’s nice working with her again.”
