Joseph Marco, an actor-model, discussed his kissing scene with Hipon Girl in the rom-com online series “Ang Babae sa Likod ng Face Mask.”

Herlene Nicole Budol, commonly recognized as “Hipon Girl,” is expected to star in a new online series that would deliver netizens smiles and kilig. Kapamilya actor Joseph Marco plays her leading man in the 13-episode romance digital series “Ang Babae sa Likod ng Face Mask.”

Hipon, a 25-year-old cashier, plays the role of Malta in the story. She worked diligently to support her mother, Madam Baby, who is portrayed by actress Mikey Ferriols. One day at work, Malta encounters the handsome but unlucky-in-love Sieg, portrayed by Joseph. Sieg is impressed with Malta’s eyes and falls in love at first sight. Malta and Sieg are watched as they fall in love, overcome their fears and insecurities, and break the bad patterns of their past.

“Ang Babae sa Likod ng Face Mask” will be freely available on the Puregold YouTube Channel every Saturday at 6 p.m. beginning June 11, 2022. It is directed by the highly renowned Victor Villanueva and produced by award-winning filmmaker Chris Cahilig.

Joseph Marco told ABS-CBN News on Wednesday that his new project was a “breath of fresh air” for him because his role in “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” is really quite serious. “Wala kasing tumatawa dun, lahat serious. Now I can flex my smile,” he continued, 

According to Joseph Marco, one of the biggest appeals of their rom-com internet series is their kissing scene. “It was great! I can hardly wait for the viewers to see it. It will be a treat!” he remarked.

Hipon’s eagerness and desire for work, according to the 33-year-old actor, reminds him of his own characteristics as a starter.

“It’s also blessing that I was able to do this intriguing project I’ve been on lock-in shoot sa ‘Ang Probinsyano’ since October and I’m glad pumasok sa schedule,” Joseph added.
