Herlene Budol and Riel Lomadilla share how their friendship started. Watch here:

Beauty queen-turned-actress Herlene Budol expressed how grateful she is to have found a best friend in real life after meeting her Magandang Dilag co-star Riel Lomadilla.

The actress related how she and the XOXO member are during the taping of their upcoming series on the GMA Regional TV morning show Mornings with GMA Regional TV.

Herlene said, “Actually, nakakita ako ng totoong best friend in real life. Best friend ko siya dun, naging best friend ko din siya sa personal."

Riel also recalled how their friendship started, "Dun po kami nagkakilala sa taping, pero dati ko pa po siya sinusubaybayan, [sa] mga vlogs niya, nung bata pa siya. Hindi, nung nagsisimula siya."

She added, “Na-inspire talaga ako kasi nakikita ko yung sarili ko sa kanya. Madaming nagba-bash, madaming hindi naniniwala, pero ano sila ngayon, 'di ba?”

Herlene also shared how they were during their first meeting, “Nagkakapaan pa kami nung una kasi parang nagkakahiyaan pa po kami. Siyempre, first meet po namin, so parang nag-a-adjust pa po kami sa mga ugali namin. Pero ngayon po, parang adjust na adjust na,” she said.

Riel added in jest, “Tabi na nga po kami sa kama, e.”

"'Tsaka masaya ako na naging best friend ko siya sa totoong buhay. Love team na po kami ngayon."

In a previous interview, Herlene admitted that she still could not believe she now has her own TV series.

“Di ko po malabas 'yung nararamdaman ko, na talagang totoo ba, weh? Parang 'di ako mapaniwala,” she said.

Now that she not only became a runner-up in the Binibining Pilipinas 2022 but also has her own TV series, is there anything else Herlene wishes for? Her answer, “Siguro ako, wala na po akong hihilingin pa ngayon.

“Gusto ko 'yung panahon na 'yung mag dala sa'kin tsaka si Lord na ang bahala sa akin mag dala sa kung saan ba ako tama,” she said.
