ACTOR Zanjoe Marudo has said that he would love to have actress Bela Padilla for his girlfriend.
“Kung handa sya,” said Marudo, when asked a hypothetical question if he wants Padilla to be his girlfriend, during an interview on “Tonight With Boy Abunda” on ABS CBN.
Marudo, 35, also explained his recent statement “I am single but I am not available.”
“Medyo na-confuse ‘yung mga tao. Sinabi ko ‘yun na single ako but not available kasi ‘yung sitwasyon ko ngayon hindi ko masasabing available ako pumasok sa isang relationship dahil magiging unfair ako eh kung sino man ‘yung girl.
“Yung commitment ko na kailangan kong ibigay na deserve ng bawa’t babae parang hindi pa ito ‘yung tamang panahon,” said Marudo.
Asked about the current status of his relationship with Padilla, Marudo said: “Magkaibigan kami. Mabuting-mabuting magkaibigan.”
Marudo also faced the Golden Mirror during the late-night talk show.
Asked to describe himself, the actor said: “Masaya s’ya ngayon at looking-good. Simple lang sya. Simple lang ang mga gusto nya sa buhay. Ngayon parang mas tumapang na sya. Hinaharap na nya ang mga challenges sa buhay.”
“Minsan kasi hindi sya naniniwala sa sarili nya, sa kakayanan nya. So sana ngayon maniwala ka na. Maniwala ka na sasari limo,” he said.
Sought to give advice to himself, Marudo said: “Tumatanda ka na, mag-asawa ka na.”
Marudo recently appeared on the Kapamilya teleserye “My Dear Heart.” He also appears in the indie movie “Fallback.”
