Tonton Gutierrez on Jean Garcia: ‘Namiss ko siya...hindi nagbago’

Actors Tonton Gutierrez and Jean Garcia are back as a love team in GMA Networks' latest Afternoon Prime series "Ika-5 Utos."

At the press conference of the upcoming series on Monday evening, Tonton said it feels great to have the opportunity to work with Jean again. 

"Ang sarap, after 15 years, 16 years na hindi [kami] nagkasama, I was really, really excited to be working with Jean again," Tonton told the press.

"Namiss ko siya, kasi talagang hindi kami nagkasama ni minsan after that, [kahit] guesting sa isang show or whatsoever, so [I'm] really excited to work with Jean," he added.

He said he feels the same admiration for Jean and complimented her timeless beauty.  

"Surprisingly ganoon pa rin ang feeling ko, noong 15 years ago, parehas pa rin. ['Yong] tawa niya, hindi nagbago... parang hindi [siya] tumanda, parang year 2000 pa rin 'to, [at] magaling pa rin [siya] sobra."

Tonton joked, "Isa pang masasabi ko. Hindi pa rin talaga nagbago, hindi pa rin puwede i-kiss sa lips."

Meanwhile, Jean said she also felt excited when she found out she will be working with a familiar leading man.

She added, "Non'g nagte-taping na kami, same, at tsaka isa kasi si Tonton sa, komportable akong kaeksena, 'yong walang malisya, walang kaba, very comfortable."
