Kristine Hermosa's television comeback will have to wait unless there is a good fitting project for the actress after she turned down the offer of ABS-CBN to do a remake of her teleserye Pangako Sa 'Yo.
According to reports, Kristine was advised by her husband Oyo Sotto not to accept the role since she and Jericho Rosales will be portraying the parents of lead stars, a role not fitting for the 29-year-old actress who certainly will not pass as the mother of either Yna or Angelo in the teleserye.
"Sabi ko sa kanya, 'Huwag na, hayaan mo na lang 'yung Pangako Sa 'Yo na as is, na iniwan n'yo sa mga tao na solid sa puso nila. Hanggang ngayon, sa Instagram, 'yung mga Malaysians, sinasabing 'Hi, we love Kristine and Jericho!'" Oyo said in a press conference for his sitcom with father Vic Sotto.
"Napag-usapan lang namin ni Tin na parang hindi maganda. Sabi ko, 'Bakit kayo 'yung ginawang nanay at tatay? Sabihin mo sa kanila, hindi maganda. Kasi, pasado ka pa naman na walang anak, eh!' "Di ba? Ako mismo, ayoko. Kasi, nanay ang role niya, eh," added Oyo.
Meanwhile, Oyo also told the press that Kristine will be doing webisodes for the sequel of Imortal which starred Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz. The project is said to be 90% sure and Kristine has already started training since she will be doing many action scenes.
Early reports also said that Jericho and Kristine have received offers to reunite in a series to be produced by a Malaysian company. Their tandem was a big hit in Malaysia after the phenomenal success of Pangako Sa 'Yo in that country.
Aside from Malaysia, the series was also successfully released in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, and China. It also reached Ghana, Botswana, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia and Cameroon.
Pangako Sa 'Yo is also the very first Philippine teleserye to have a local version in other country, particularly Cambodia, the production of which will start this year.
