Mark Herras reveals his romantic side

We're used to seeing Kapuso actor Mark Herras bust a move on the dance floor in Sunday All Stars or showcase his acting chops as Joaquin Vasquez in the primetime series Rhodora X. As Valentines' Day draws near, the Bad Boy of the Dance Floor opens up about his softer, more romantic side and candidly shares how he makes his girl feel extra special.

When asked what his most memorable Valentines Day is, Mark says it was with ex-girlfriend Ynna Asistio. Halos limang taon din ang relasyon ng dalawa bago ito natapos noong July last year.

"Ang pinaka-memorable talaga sa akin is 'yung araw na nag-effort ako. Nag-set up ako ng candlelit dinner with petals and candles sa floor. Tapos pinatugtog ko ang theme song namin," kuwento ng aktor nang aming makapanayam sa mall show ng Rhodora X.

Is he the type of guy who will go the extra mile to impress a girl on Valentines' Day?

"Hindi naman every Valentines' Day, pero once in a while, mahilig ako mag-surprise. I want to show na nag-eeffort ako doon sa relationship namin. Hindi ko 'yung ginagawa para lang maging sweet ako. Ginagawa ko 'yun dahil gusto ko, at dahil pinaparamdam ko sa babae na importante siya."

Hindi man daw ganun kasaya ang kanyang puso ngayong single siya, may special person naman siyang makakasama sa February 14.

"Kung wala akong trabaho, siguro it's time naman na i-date ko ang mom ko. Kakain siguro kami somewhere na gusto niya. Hindi naman kailangan kapag Valentines' Day, girlfriend mo or mayroon kang ka-date na hindi mo kamag-anak."
