Mark Herras admits that at this point in his life, he is more patient when it comes to relationships.
“Definitely, I’m no longer a kid who wants to jump into a commitment right away. If your time for love will come, then it will regardless how long it takes or who your partner will be. I guess I’ve already matured when it comes to matters of the heart. Now I know the value of waiting, of being patient. I also want a relationship which is of the lasting kind,” he avers.
Many say that this admittance has something to do with the news that he already gave up on courting Wynwyn Marquez. It can be recalled that they became very close during those times when they were mainstays of the defunct GMA Sunday musical variety show Party Pilipinas and Sunday All Stars.
But Wynwyn stated then that she didn’t want to entertain the idea of courtship since she values her friendship with Mark and she doesn’t want to ruin it. In spite of this, Mark remained persistent but then again, Wynwyn said she’ll get very busy supporting the political ambitions of mom Alma Moreno and brothers Jeremy Marquez and Vandolph Quizon in the coming elections.
“Maybe, it is not yet the right time for us to be together. Let’s just wait and see in the coming days.”
The so-called Bad Boy of the Dance Floor reveals that he gained maturity over the years with all his previous relationships including that with Ynna Asistio.
“That’s the most painful! I really loved her and her family. That’s the reason why I couldn’t tell her face-to-face about my daughter Ada…that I’d become a dad already. It was really painful.”
Instead, Mark just wants to count his blessings. He is doing three shows under home studio GMA-7.
“That’s right! I’m with Dangwa as the leading man of Janine Gutierrez. I’m also proud to be part of Little Nanay, which is top-billed by no less than Superstar Ms. Nora Aunor. Then, I have a guest role in Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali’s Wish I May. I’m simply thankful for these blessings.”
Speaking of Ate Guy, many are curious to know how Mark feels working with the cinema legend.
“I’m star-struck! I feel that on the set, she has given us a lot of inspiration. It’s my first time to see her personally and work with her. It’s really a huge honor!”
The appealing Kapuso star is doubly hardworking these days due to his daughter Ada.
“She is my lucky charm. Because of her, my life has direction now. Before, I was so extravagant but nowadays, I always think of her welfare. I became more responsible.”
This is one of his conditions when he finds a new girlfriend.
“She should accept me and Ada as a package deal. If not, let’s just forget the whole thing.”

Ai-Ai delas Alas admires the relationship of Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna and even see similarities with her current relationship with steady Gerald Sibayan.
“I just think that they’re perfect for each other!” she says. “When it comes to love, age is just a number. It doesn’t matter…as long as you two get along fine. Just like me and Gerald, we jibe very well!”
Despite the fact that Vic is 61 and Pauleen is just 26, the Comedy Queen can sense that the soon-to-be newlyweds are a perfect match.
“As I’ve said, they get along well and they don’t fight, which is very important.”
Ai Ai and Vic are doing a movie together called My Bebe Love, an entry in this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival.
“Yes! In fact, in one of our shooting days, Pauleen was just on the set, taking care of Bossing. She’s not part of the film but she was just there to look after him…to give support. It’s sweet.”
The MMFF entry serves as a bonding moment for her and Vic.
“It’s a very light set. During lull breaks, Bosing asks if I am the jealous type. Then, he also asks Gerlad if I am. It’s funny and cute at the same time,” Ai Ai states.
