Richard Gutierrez is resting for a while after the success of “Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown” where Albert “Betong” Sumaya is the Ultimate Sole Survivor. Richard is expected to start taping his new show, a yet untitled action-drama, in March.
Richard confirmed to the press during his Dad’s birthday that his leading ladies are Carla Abellana and Sarah Lahbati, which means it’s not true that Carla is moving to another network as GMA-7 has neglected her.
Meanwhile, Sarah Lahbati expressed her excitement after she was asked on report that she is being considered to be one of Richard‘s leading ladies in a soap. “Kung sakali, of course, gusto kong makatrabaho siya. Magandang project iyon na… with Richard Gutierrez. Sino ba ang hindi magugustuhan na makasama siya sa isang project? So, sana. Kung matutuloy, okey. Kung hindi, next time. May next time pa naman!”
The show will be directed by Ricky Davao. Ricky was also at the party and told the press that he’s flattered to be chosen to do it but will only believe that he’s really the director once he starts taping it. “Siempre, excited ako, first time ko to direct a show on primetime and with Richard pa, kaya sana matuloy,” he says.
