Relaxing with Dino Guevarra

is the top rating sitcom about two siblings and the house they share. The house is divided in the middle, and is painted in two colors to show which part belongs to Nene Mulingtapang (Ronaldo Valdez) and Baby Mulingtapang-Benoit (Tessie Tomas). In Nene's camp is Canor, played by Dino Guevarra. Dino describes his character as 'Mahilig manggulang. Gusto ko lahat ng tao pinagkakakitaan ko.' When asked if there were any similarities between him and Canor, Dino laughed and said, 'Wala naman. Hindi pero may character, yung pagiging business-minded. Pero pagdating naman sa mga kliyente, medyo magulang siya. Ako, may pagkabusiness-minded pero di naman ako magulang.' Dino, and everyone else on the Bahay Mo Ba 'To cast, will tell you that working on the show is one of the easiest jobs; not because acting is easy, but because the people they work with makes the work experience fun. "Para kaming mga bata, para kaming naglalaro lang" Dino explains. The fun that the cast has while taping comes across on screen. Bahay Mo Ba 'To fans are no stranger to the comedic chemistry that runs through the cast every episode. As Dino said, 'Masaya kami dahil naglalaro lang kami, parang hindi namin iniisip na trabaho kaya lahat kami, magaan yung pakiramdam namin dito.' He added, "Napakagaan namin. Pagdating namin dito sa set, kwento-kwentuhan. Para kaming hindi kami nagkikita linggo linggo. Lahat kami may pinagkukwentuhang kung anu-ano. Basta ang saya namin dito. Sobrang saya namin dito. Para kaming magkakapatid talaga. Parang isang malaking pamilya kami dito." It is exactly this camaraderie that the cast and staff shares that Dino credits as part of the show's staying power. 'Minsan sa isang trabaho, kapag iniisip mo na trabaho lang na parang natitense ka, nararamdaman din ng audience na parang hindi ka masaya. So hindi rin sila nagiging masaya.' He goes on to add 'Pero kapag makikita naman ng tao na masaya ka sa ginagawa mo, masaya yung nakikita nila sa kapaligiran mo, pati sila nasisiya rin. Konting bagay lang natatawa na. Yun ang tingin ko na nararamdaman ng tao dito.' When not taping, Dino likes to hang out at home, surfing on his PC. It's the one piece of equipment that makes his house his home. 'Kapag nasa bahay ako, mahilig akong mag-computer. Babad ako sa computer. Ultimo sa Fanatxt 'nag-cocomputer ako. I'm a geek. Talagang addict ako kapag naglalaro ng computer, mga online games. So kapag nasa bahay ako nagrerelax ako, doon ko narerealize na bahay ko ito kasi nakakapagrelax ako ng maigi.' Relaxed on the set and relaxed at home, Dino is one lucky guy who can happily claim that stress is not a keyword in his life. -- Text by Yvette U. Tan. Photos by Connie M. Tungul.
