On January 9, Kapamilya star Xyriel Manabat said she wants her first on-screen kiss with her best friend, Andrea Brillantes.
At the media conference for the Senior High Finale, which LionhearTV covered, Manabat first highlighted that she wanted to have her first on-screen kiss with another woman.
“Ah ako po opo, kapag nag-aasaran kami, nagtatanungan kami kung kay Zaijian may boyfriend, okay lang din kaya magka-kissing scene din. Tapos pag tinatanong ako, kung totoo, kasi ‘yung samin ni Archie–wala po talagang dumikit doon, clarification lang.Â
“Pero kung feeling kung mag-o-on-screen na first kiss gusto ko talaga sa babae kasi feeling ko mas comfortable ako kapag ganon, ‘yung walang ilang less issue, less hassle, and experience siya eh. So parang fulfilling siya as an experience for an actress.”
She then pointed to her best friend Andrea Brillantes as the young woman she wanted her first on-screen kiss with, jokingly teasing her co-star.
“Open naman po ako for any, pero dati kasi bago ako bumalik sa Dirty Linen, ‘yung mga kaasaran po ako, kapag ikaw pinormahan ko, kinakantahan ko rin po siya, tinititigan ko din po siya sa mata, so feeling ko– basta matalik ko po siyang kaibigan. Tumatawa po siya ngayon. Kinikilig siya ngayon.”
Brillantes responded, emphasizing the lack of Girls Love series in the Philippines.
“I mean pansin ko lang po kasi, there’s a lot of BL series now, hindi pa po masyadong madami sa GL, so if ever lang naman po, I would be comfortable doing it with my best friend kasi magaling siyang actress eh. And madami kaming makukuha sa isa’t isa.”
