Patrick Garcia revealed something about John Lloyd Cruz
Actor Patrick Garcia fondly recalled his pat “sama ng loob” to his fellow actor John Lloyd Cruz when they were working together in the 90s weekly series Tabing Ilog.
The said defunct TV show had become a part of the lives of many “batang 90s.” Patrick and John Lloyd were part of the iconic show that inspired a lot of youth at that time. After many years, that show is still being remembered.
In a recent interview on Fast Talk, based on the article in Bandera, Patrick, along with his A Journey co-star Paolo Contis, who was also part of the Tabing Ilog cast, recalled their fondest memories while they were doing the show.
Paolo recalled the time when he and his onscreen partner Desiree del Valle had a conflict. That rift was so big that they had to film their scenes separately and it was just made to look like they were together through editing.
The Kapuso actor did not elaborate on the details but he admitted that there was a point when he courted Desiree.
Patrick Garcia also recalled the time when he had “sama ng loob” to John Lloyd Cruz and this was because of the squash seed he peeled.
“Kasi iniipon ko, eh. Tapos sabay-bay kong kakainin sana. Kinuha niya (Lloydie) sa akin tapos kinain niya. Masama ang loob ko nu’n,” he laughingly recalled.
Then, Paolo revealed that there was a time that Patrick arrived on the set late. The call time was supposed to be 7 am but he arrived on the set at 7 pm. Patrick explained that she was already at the location at 7 am but it was just that he was waiting at the wrong set.
A Journey is a reunion movie project of Patrick Garcia, Paolo Contis, and their fellow Tabing Ilog star Kay Abad.
