Seasons of Love with Ruru & Gabrielle

MANILA, Philippines - GMA 7’s Artist Center is grooming Ruru Madrid and Gabrielle Garcia as the next big love team and entrusting them with a new project, the upcoming series Seasons of Love. The onscreen pair is currently seen on the primetime series My Destiny, wherein newcomer Gabrielle plays Nicole, the younger sister of Jacob (Sid Lucero) and the girlfriend of Paul (Ruru).

Gabrielle won the 2013 Little Miss Solane (Teenies category) at the age of 14. She attended basic acting workshops with GMA 7 until she signed a contract last March. “Then after a few months, they invited me for a look test for My Destiny, and after that, I got the role. I’m so thankful to GMA dahil kahit di pa tapos ang My Destiny ay may next project na agad,” shared Gabrielle.

Ruru, on the other hand, rose to fame as a runner-up in Protégé: The Battle for the Big Artista Break. The 16-year-old actor was named Best New Male TV Personality at the 27th PMPC Star Awards for TV and Outstanding Breakthrough Performance by an Actor at the 11th Golden Screen TV Awards for Dormitoryo.

The series Seasons of Love features four different love stories that will run for the whole month of October. The pilot episode titled Soulmate, Soulhate will serve as Ruru and Gabrielle’s reunion project.

During a press set visit at UP Los Baños, Ruru and Gabrielle shared “kilig and kulitan” moments as they teased each other about their first encounter. Gabrielle said it was Ruru who first asked for her cell number, but Ruru pointed out that it was Gabrielle who texted first. “She texted me, ‘Hi Kuya Ruru, fan mo ako, gwapo mo. Love you, ingat. Bye.’” Embarrassed, all Gabrielle could do was to grab Ruru’s phone.

“Seriously, Ruru is consistent na masayahin. Lagi ka n’yang patatawanin, parang ayaw n’yang makikita kang malungkot,” added Gabrielle.

Soulmate, Soulhate revolves around two teenagers who switch personalities when a meteor shower occurs. After spending so much time together, the two become fond of each other and eventually fall in love.

Directed by Gina Alajar, Soulmate, Soulhate will start airing on Oct. 6, replacing My BFF before 24 Oras.
