MANILA, Philippines – Kapuso teen actor Kristoffer Martin is quite concerned about the prevailing mood among the fandom – regarding his being paired with Julie Anne San Jose in “Kahit Nasaan Ka Man,” the upcoming prime-time serye at GMA-7.

Kristoffer has seen the many tweets from fans of Julie Anne and Elmo Magalona, or JuliElmo, that it should be Elmo in his role in the serye.

But Kristoffer is not about to answer those tweets and he will just focus on the work. Or as we might say in Filipino: “Trabaho lang.”

“I respect the opinions of the JuliElmo fans,” Kristoffer told a contributor for Rappler.

“Kung yun ang gusto nilang sabihin, wala naman akong magagawa roon.” (If that’s what they want to say, I can’t do anything about it.)

“I just accept it and go on with my job as an actor in this series.

“It’s GMA-7 that gave me and Julie Anne this project. I guess they saw the potential in our team-up kaya pinagsama kami [that’s why they cast us together].

“Pareho kami ni Julie Anne na gustong mag-work ang team-up namin [Julie Anne and I both want this to work], and I just hope the JuliElmo fans will give us the support we need.”

KrisJoy, KrisKim, KrisLie

As for his own fans, Kristoffer expressed confidence in their continued support.

“Yung fans namin ni Joyce [Ching, his girlfriend] sa KrisJoy, very supportive sila sa aming dalawa.” (They’re very supportive.)

“Kahit na sa iba ako at si Joyce i-partner, nandiyan sila para sa amin.” (They’re always there for us, no matter our respective screen partners.)

“I was last paired with Kim Rodriguez in ‘Kakambal ni Eliana,’ nagkaroon agad ng KrisKim fans.” (We suddenly had a KrisKim fan base.)

“Now that I am paired with Julie Anne, meron nang [we have] KrisLie fans.

“So that is how they support my career. Alam nila na matagal pa bago kami mag-pair ni [They know that, way before i was paired with] Joyce, because she is being paired with other actors. Like in ‘Anna KareNina,’ she is with Hiro Peralta.

“Our fans know that this is all work. At the end of the day, kami pa rin ni Joyce ang nagkakasama at walang affected sa mga bagong trabaho namin.” (At the end of the day, Joyce and I are still together and nobody is affected by our new projects.)

In “Kahit Nasaan Ka Man,” Kristoffer plays Leadro, an aspiring musician mired in poverty. He soon meets Pauline (Julie Anne), a talented blind girl who will change his outlook on life.

The serye is directed by Gil Tejada and also stars Tessie Tomas, Ronaldo Valdez, Eula Valdez, Rita Avila, Lucho Ayala, Yayo Aguila, and Michael de Mesa. – Rappler.com
