Only a few years after launching their career as online content creators, Gueco twins Kiel and Vito are now making their way to TV as actors.
The two recently snatched supporting roles on GMA and Wattpad Webtoon Studios' second project “LUV IS: Love at First Read” as headlined by Sparkle stars Mavy Legaspi and Kyline Alcantara.
Starting today June 12, Vito and Kiel will be seen on television as Psalm and Philemon, cousins of Mavy's character in the show.
During an interview, the twins expressed excitement about the opportunity, which they deem a huge blessing.
According to them, it's actually an answered prayer, revealing how they have been manifesting for something like it for the longest time.
"Ever since po kasi hindi kami mapaghiwalay," Kiel said, citing as example how they are both studying infotech.
But if ever, Vito and Kiel are also open to working separately.
Asked how it was working with Mavy, Vito and Kiel maintained it was so easy and fun.
And they think it helps that they already know each other prior.
Apparently, they performed on "Eat Bulaga" along with Mavy and his twin sister, Cassy.
Recall that Vito and Kiel were discovered on "TikTok."
They became regulars on "eat BUlaga" for almost six months.
They are both good basketball players. Vito is a point guard while Kiel is a shooting guard.
They gained notice on social media flexing their dancing skills as well as their basketball moves.

So now that they are actors, what are the pros and cons of working in the same industry as twins?
The 22-year-old stars mentioned among positives how they already have an instant buddy.
"May kakampi ka agad, may kasama, kakilala," Vito said.
As for disadvantages, Vito mentioned being called on for the other's mistake.
"Team kasi kami, as one unit so ganun," Kiel stressed.
The twin are looking forward to more acting projects.
Kiel said given the chance, he'd like to try action and drama.
"Gusto ko yung mga roles na natsa-challenge ako kasi pag natsa-challenge ako mas nagiging better ako as actor, as a person," he pointed out.
Vito echoed the same, relating: "Mas makikita ko pa kung hanggang saan pa yung capacity ko as an actor."
