In an interview with reporters during the press conference for the show, Fabio said that Danielle is doing very well and Fabio is giving her the support she needs financially.
“Yes, financial support, monthly.
“We got a lawyer to change my daughter’s name. My daughter’s name now is Danielle Mikayla Ide.
“I gave lahat, to her educational plan…. Supportive ako sa lahat, walang drama para maganda ang buhay,” he said. (I am very supportive of everything, there’s no drama so life is good.)
In a separate interview with Pep, Fabio said that girlfriend Bianca is very understanding with him when it comes to Danielle. The two have been together for two months.
“She loves kids. Meron siyang four pamangkins, (she has 4 nephews and nieces) she loves kids.
“So, when she sees my daughter, since she’s my daughter, she knows na for her to have me, she needs to love my daughter,” he said adding that Bianca is very natural with Danielle and isn’t trying too hard.
Fabio also adds that Dennise and Bianca are friends.
Destiny Rose’s love interest
In Destiny Rose, Fabio plays the role of Gabriele, a Filipino-Italian who falls in love with Destiny Rose, a transgender woman played by newcomer Ken Chan. According to Fabio, he considers the role very different and challenging.
“I haven’t had an opportunity like this before in my life and this part of me being a straight guy – I really find the story very nice, very unique. And when they gave me the role, I thought to myself na bibigay ko yung best ko dito sa show na ito. (I will do my best for this show), kasi this is really a once-in-a lifetime opportunity. People can now see a different kind of Fabio, a Fabio na more on drama,” he said.
Fabio said that this was a challenging role with a lot of nuances to consider in the story. “Kasi sa istoryang ito, hindi ko alam na lalaki siya dati so iba talaga ito. It’s not like a guy falling in love with a guy. I’m in love with Destiny Rose thinking na babae siya pero lalaki siya dati. But for me it doesn’t matter because love is love.” (READ: PH drama ‘Destiny Rose’ shines spotlight on transgender relationships)
(In this story, I did not know that she was biologically a man before, so this is different. It’s not like a guy falling in love with a guy. I’m in love with Destiny Rose thinking she’s a female, but she was male before. But for me it doesn’t matter because love is love.)
Destiny Rose also stars Manilyn Reynes, Joko Diaz, Jackie Lou Blanco, Sheen Halili, Jeric Gonzales, JC Tiuseco, Jeric Gonzales Irma Adlawan and Ken Alfonso. The show premieres on September 14. – with a report from Alexa Villano/Rappler.com
