Since 2005, Richard Gutierrez has been starring in four
consecutive Valentine movies, namely Let the Love Begin (2005), I
Will Always Love You (2006) and The Promise (2007) all with Angel
Locsin, and My Bestfriend's Girlfriend last year with Marian Rivera.
During the first press conference of his latest film, the
press was introduced to his new "Valentine Queen," KC Concepcion. They were previously
paired together in the Star Cinema film For the First Time, which was
partly shot in Santorini, Greece.
This time, KC and Richard have just returned from taping their sequences in
Coron, Palawan for their second film titled When I Met You. In a
previous interview, KC told the press that the location was very appropriate
for them since, "we're both beach babies...pareho naman kaming mga sun child."
KC gave her own interpretation of the theme song of the
film, "When I Met You." This is an original song by the APO Hiking Society and
was revived by Sarah Geronimo in 2003.
Aside from shooting their film in Coron, there were also key sequences that were shot in Subic, where they spent three days in this naval base.
PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asked them to describe their most
memorable experience while they shot in Subic. KC mentioned that it would have
to be the scenes involving the sea plane.
Richard added: "Yeah, nasa sea plane kami at first time
namin maka-experience ng sea plane at siyempre nagmotor, nag-motor kami around
Subic at nag motocross kami."
When I Met You will open in cinemas nationwide starting February 11, 2009.
