AFTER 2 YEARS

Cameras flashed, microphones echoed, and the crowd roared with excitement.

Okay everyone, are you excited? the host shouted.

The audience screamed even louder, filling the entire hall with energy.

“Grabe, ang init ng mga fans natin! So without further delay, let’s welcome Drey Gil and Zein Shion!”

The crowd erupted, shouting their names as the two stepped out, smiling and waving at their fans.

“Dreyyy! Ang gwapo mooo!”

“ZEINNN! ZEINNNN!”

The noise inside the hall grew even louder as the cast of Forevermore appeared.

“Hello! Kumusta kayo? Let’s have them sit first.”

They sat down.

“Okay, let’s start with Ms. zein—the very gorgeous, fresh, GenZ star. How are you?”

zein smiled and waved. “Thank you. Hello everyone! I’m doing great. I’m so happy to be here and see all of you. Sobrang saya ko—thank you for inviting us.”

“No, thank you for accepting our invitation!” the host replied with a laugh.

“So, how about Mr. Drey Gil? Kumusta?”

Drey smiled. “Ahm…”

“Wait! Bago ka sumagot—anong kinain mo at mas gumwapo ka ngayon?” the host teased.

The fans screamed.

Drey laughed shyly. “Wala naman… stress nga eh. But siguro—good company.”

“Wow! Good company? Si Zein ba ‘yan?”

The crowd went wild.

“Hahaha, oo naman. But I mean the whole team. We have a good team for this movie—that’s what I meant.”

“Ay sus, ang simple lang ng tanong—defensive agad!” the host joked. “Anyway, to make this more exciting, what can we expect from your tandem, DreZein?”

“Ahm… ikaw na?” Drey asked Zein.

“Hindi, ikaw na,” Zein replied.

“Hays, kayo na lang kaya?” the host interrupted, making everyone laugh.

Drey chuckled. “The story is about two people from different walks of life who meet accidentally. Along the way, they fall in love—but it’s not easy. They face a lot of challenges, especially family disagreements.”

“Yes, and marami pa kayong aabangan,” Zein added.

“Like what?” the host teased.

“Anong like what?” Zein reacted, making everyone laugh.

“Okay, let’s move to Q&A! Fast talk with Charlie!”

“First question for Drey—from Dreynism: rate Zein from 1 to 10 as a lead actress.”

“Hmmm… siguro 5.”

“Wow ah!” Zein reacted.

“Sakin 4 ka lang!” she joked back.

“Joke lang!” Drey laughed, holding her hand, making the crowd scream.

“Wow, may pa-holding hands!”

“Ganun talaga siya—touchy,” Zein said playfully.

“Seriously, Zein is a 10. Magaling siya, and I really feel the connection when we’re taping.”

“Speaking of connection—wifi, bluetooth, or spark from the heart?” the host teased.

The fans screamed.

Drey laughed. “Ahh… I think it’s more of connection in acting. Mas nailalabas ko yung role ko with her. It’s new for me kasi ibang partner ako before, so malaking adjustment—but in a good way.”

Zein nodded. “Tsaka bro ko si Drey—parang kuya ko siya. I mean, kaka-30 lang niya, diba?”

“Grabe ka naman mag-reveal ng age ko!”

“Hahaha! 34 ka na pero mukha kang 20!”

The host laughed. “Magaling din ‘to sa basketball, guys!”

“Okay, next question—may chance bang maging kayo ni Drey?”

The fans screamed again.

Zein smiled. “Well, first time ko siyang makatrabaho, but masasabi ko he’s a good man—family-oriented, funny, respectful, kind, and a gentleman. Parang everything you’d want in a guy.”

The crowd squealed as Drey tried to hide his smile.

“But… bro lang talaga ang tingin ko sa kanya,” Zein added. “And he sees me as his little sister. Right?”

Drey nodded. “Yes.”

“Okay, next question—Drey, paano ka magparamdam if you love someone?”

“Through actions,” he answered. “Like, pagsisilbihan ko siya, liligawan ko siya every day.”

The host swooned while Zein smiled at him.

“I’m not really an expert,” Drey continued, “but I’ve been in a relationship for 8 years. I noticed mas nagiging masaya yung babae when you’re consistent.”

The audience clapped, and someone shouted, “Drey, ako na lang!”

Drey laughed.

“Grabe, pang–Mr. Universe ang sagot!”

“Walang ganun!” he joked.

“Meron ngayon!” the host laughed.

“Last question—from dreylizforever. Okay lang ba, Drey?”

“Oo naman.”

“How are you and Liza?”

“ahmm….We’re good. She’s busy with international projects, and I’m also focused on mine like  Forevermore. We’re both doing well.”

Zein glanced at him and smiled.

Time passed, and the segment came to an end.

“Invite everyone to watch your new show.”

“Yes! Please watch Forevermore, airing on Channel 8 starting Monday, April 25, 2026. Hindi niyo po ito pagsisisihan.”

“Watch it, everyone—kikiligin kayo, promise!” Zein added.

“Thank you so much for being here. We’re happy to have you!”

“Thank you, everyone!”
