FUTURE ACTING PROJECTS. PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) had the chance to interview Christian when he attended the birthday celebration of Ogie Alcasid last August 27. Asia's Pop Idol informed PEP that he will soon be seen in ABS-CBN's Sunday afternoon series Your Song.

"I'm going to Malaysia [August 28-30] to shoot for the Sunday afternoon series Your Song. I'll be paired with Carmen Soo and it'll be aired probably next month.

"I'm nervous about acting coz it's been a long time since I acted on TV. I hope I do well."

The singer-actor revealed that it wasn't his first time to work with Carmen since she appeared in his previous music video for the song 'Afraid for Love to Fade.'

He then revealed that he worked with Cristine Reyes for the music video of his next single titled "I Remember the Girl."

The singer will also be making his big screen debut in Indonesia through his upcoming film.

"I'll be doing a movie in Indonesia by the end of the year. Half of my lines would be in Indonesian while the other half would be English. Hindi pa ko marunong mag-Indonesian kaya pag-aaralan ko pa. The movie is not really a love story but it's more of an inspirational movie."

What does Christian like most about the culture of Indonesia? "The music scene there is number one. Kung dito, the music industry is only number two, there it's number one. Ang number one kasi sa atin, ang TV industry."
