Aljur Abrenica’s career on full swing again
Aljur Abrenica is definitely back and very much visible onscreen - with an upcoming show on primetime TV no less.
In his new show with the Kapuso Network called Once Again, the Kapuso actor is reunited with Janine Gutierrez, daughter of actors Ramon Christopher and Lotlot de Leon. The two worked together last year in the GMA daytime series, Dangwa.
During Once Again’s pictorial, the StarStruck: IV Ultimate Male Survivor revealed that he is ready to embrace his character, Edgar, whom he described as someone similar to him in real life.
“Nakikita ko ang sarili ko sa kanya kasi parehas kaming family man. Grabe rin kami magmahal sa isang babae na tipong ipaglalaban mo siya hanggang sa kamatayan [I see myself in him because, like me, he is also a family man. We are also alike in that we will do anything for the one we love, even fight for her until our last breath],” he shared.
Once Again will premiere this May on GMA’s flagship international channel, GMA Pinoy TV. (30)
