COMEDIENNE Pokwang is set to do a project with actor Fernando Carillo, the leading man in the hit Mexican telenovela “Rosalinda” starring Thalia.
“Ayun na nga!!! new project with mr. @ferrcarrillo waaaa cant wait!!!!! #FerPok,” Pokwang shared in a social media post over the weekend.
Carillo returned to the Philippines last week to do several endorsements and to create a reality show, which will give birth to a new singing group.
Carrillo, who played the role of Fernando Jose in “Rosalinda,” has visited the country a number of times to touch base with his fans. He signed a contract with Viva in 2012.
In the early 2000s, the love story of Rosalinda (Thalia) and Fernando Jose became a staple in many Filipino households as the Mexican telenovela dominated ABS-CBN’s afternoon lineup. (ABS-CBN News)
