MANILA, Philippines (AP) —In her forthcoming ABS-CBN teleserye “A Family Affair,” Kapamilya actress Ivana Alawi characterized her four starring males.

Ivana noted that Jameson Blake, Jake Ejercito, Gerald Anderson, and Sam Milby are like family to her during the virtual press conference for her series earlier today.

Ivana said that Jameson is her baby boy and that Jake is her best buddy on set.

“Iba-iba sila ng personality. Si Jameson very baby boy. Ayon talaga tawag ko sa kanya e. ‘Baby boy halika nga dito.’ She explained ‘He’s very young and innocent.’

“Si Jake naman yun yung best friend ko. He’s more funny. Alam mo yon, pagmagkasama kami puro biruan. Kasi very easy going, madaling kausap, hindi ako natatakot biruin,” she added.

Ivana, on the other hand, described Gerald as quite professional.

“Si Gerald nahihiya akong biruin kasi very professional pag nasa taping tapos nagi-internalize siya. Pag pumapasok siya sa character ang galing talaga kaya parang ayokong magbiro kay Gerald kasi professional talaga,” she said.  

At the same news conference, Ivana admitted to having a crush on Sam. She also admitted that she is terrified of him, but that he demonstrates his cheerful side on set, allowing them to work in peace.

“Si Sam naman, takot akong makatrabaho dati kasi nga sobrang tagal na sa industriya, sobrang galing at sobrang professional. Kaya natatakot akong makaeksena siya. Pero nong first time naming magkita puro siya biro at sabi niya gusto niya comfortable kaming lahat,” she said. 

“Dito sa teleseryeng to, hindi ko nararamdaman na trabaho. Everyone nagtutulungan, si Gerald, Sam, Jake, Jameson. Pag nagte-taping kami parang hindi taping kasi para kaming family,” she added. 

At the same news conference, Ivana admitted to having a crush on Sam. She also admitted that she is terrified of him, but that he demonstrates his cheerful side on set, allowing them to work in peace. “A Family Affair,” directed by Jerome Pobocan and Raymund Ocampo, will air on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, TV5, and iWantTFC.
