Miguel Tanfelix is pleased with the current development on his GMA prime time offering Kambal, Karibalopposite Bianca Umali. Based on the latest ratings survey conducted by the AGB, the supernatural drama is gradually climbing the charts. In fact, it has slightly beaten its more established rival show (La Luna Sangre) on one recent occasion.
“It does feel good that slowly, the audience takes notice of our program,” he avers. “At least, all our efforts get appreciated. It’s not easy to mount it because the storyline is not the usual. From the director, cast, down to the crew and utility personnel, we’re giving it a hundred percent in every taping day. Bianca and I are very grateful.”
The appealing lad attributes the show’s present triumph to its plot.
“That’s true! We know that we have a different concept. It has an interesting story and the people look forward to each episode nightly. It adds excitement to prime time viewing to have a supernatural love story such as this, don’t you think so?
“Admittedly, our ratings weren’t this impressive during the initial airing weeks. I’m happy that with its uniqueness, our numbers started to pick up. That’s why we are more inspired and motivated to give it our best shot, especially me and Bianca.”
Speaking of Bianca, it seems that their closeness deepens as days go by. Last December, they went hiking and enjoyed the activity to the hilt.
“Oh, yes! It was the first time that we did this adventure together. We climbed Mt. Nagpatong in Cavite and it turned out to be one thrilling experience. It was our quick get-away because it was nearing Christmas then.”
What’s his wish for their tandem this 2018, especially that come March, Bianca will celebrate her debut.
“I really hope that we can do more travels together this year. That’s one activity we enjoy doing the most. As for her 18th birthday celebration, of course, I’ve plans but I’ll keep it to myself at this point.”
The talented young actor hopes that the public will continue patronizing Kambal, Karibal.
“Yes! Every taping day, we give our 100 percent to ensure that our viewers will enjoy quality entertainment. As I’ve said earlier, it’s so heart-warming to know that we are gradually making our presence felt in the ratings game. It’s enough reward for all the hard work we put in,” ends Miguel.

According to Bela Padilla, her friendship with Zanjoe Marudoremains on the same level until now and hasn’t progressed on the next level yet contrary to what some quarters think.
“That’s true. Zanjoe and I are okay. We communicate. But as in there’s the courtship element, no, we haven’t reached that stage. So I appeal to everyone to stop speculating that we’re already playing beautiful music together because in truth, we’re just friends,” she says.
So, there are no hints from Zanjoe at this point that he wants to pursue her?
“Oh, no! Nothing like that. We communicate, yes but for the record, he’s not courting me!”
Does it have anything to do with Zanjoe’s being in showbiz too?
“Not really! Ha-ha-ha! Actually, I don’t have any preference. It’s just that I feel I still haven’t met the guy who would make me balance my professional and private life. I’m so career-driven. I’m just really waiting for that special someone who would sweep me off my feet and prove worthy of my attention and love. As of now, there’s none yet,” Bela states.
