Enchong maintains that he’s not jealous of Julia-Coco tandem

MANILA, Philippines – On top of being a prolific young actor and occasional dancer, Enchong Dee hopes to unleash his inner “Karaoke King” in the near future.

"Gusto kung sa gusto. Naunahan lang ako ni Anne [Curtis], eh,” the 22-year-old star told PEP in jest about being a singer

"Kahit naman sinong Filipino, bigyan mo ng videoke diyan, uubusin ‘yung limang piso sa wallet nila para lang makakanta nang makakanta.

 "At isa ako dun!" he confessed.

Enchong revealed that he’s been wanting to flex his singing muscles for the longest time. Fortunately, the “Maria la del Barrio” star’s next movie project will not only require him to act but to hit some notes as well, which would enable him to tap on this “hidden talent” of his.

Meanwhile, Dee confessed that—as blind items noted—he and onscreen partner Erich Gonzales often encounter sporadic “tampuhans” on the set of their series. However, amid this issue, Dee underscored that these are only minor disagreements that “add spice” to their love team.

"Kumbaga, kahit naman siguro magkakapatid, nagkakaroon ng tampuhan.

"And I can say na magiging mas makulay 'yung relationship namin ni Erich. Kasi nga, may sweet part, may bitter part, mayroong funny part... Kumbaga, kumpleto kami,” explained Dee. “Napagdadaanan na namin ang lahat."

In the same way that his onscreen love team has been "colorful," Dee’s off cam love life could very well be described as equally vibrant. In his previous interviews, Dee’s been forthright in admitting his admiration for actress Julia Montes. As a matter of fact, there were even rumors that they’re already an official couple but they’ve been keeping it under wraps—something they neither confirm nor deny.

Now that Montes is being paired with multi-awarded actor Coco Martin in the new Kapamilya soap “Walang Hanggan,” Dee was asked by PEP if he’s jealous of their budding tandem.

"Selos? No, I'm really happy for them,” said Dee.

He even added that Martin is like an “older brother,” which somehow renders the idea of being jealous "invalid."

"Magkaibigan kami ni Coco, nagkatrabaho kami sa ‘Sa 'Yo Lamang.'

"Sabi niya sa akin, 'Kung may gusto kang gawing indie, tanungin mo lang ako. Tutulungan kita. Bibigyan kita ng advice kung okay ba, kung anong kuwento,”' recounted Dee.

If there’s anything that Dee feels for Montes' and Martin’s pairing, it’s “happiness” because their project will allow Montes to finally take on a mature role; while Martin will get the chance to do a love story, something he has been hoping to do for some time now.
