(1st verse)  Napanaginipan kong wala ka na At nakita kong kasama ay iba Takot ang nadarama Kung wala ka'y paano na Ang maiiwan ba sa akin ay isang alaala? (2nd verse) Sabi ko'y hindi pa rin magbabago Ang pag-ibig na inalay ko sa iyo Kaya ko nang tanggapin ang sakit na darating Habang buhay ay ikaw pa rin. Chorus: Tama na'ng minsa'y umibig At nagmahal sa iyo ng labis Pag-ibig na walang kasing-tamis

Sana'y laging iisipin Puso ko'y iyong alipin Kahit kailanma'y ako'y sa iyo Sa akin ay ikaw lang at ako. (Repeat 2nd verse) (Repeat Chorus) Kaya ko nang tanggapin ang sakit na darating Habang buhay ay ikaw pa rin. (Repeat Chorus except last line) Tanging ikaw sa puso ko Yan ay pakaasahan mo Sa akin ay ikaw lang at ako

In Isla, actress Jessy Mendiola will be at her sexiest role so far being stranded in an island without anything except the clothes she's wearing. Jessy will bare more skin in Isla than what she did in Sabel.

"Given na naman na 'pag matagal na kayo sa isla, wala ka nang ibang damit kundi 'yun nalang, so natural naman siguro na unti-unti na siyang huhubaran. It's 'Precious Hearts Romances' eh, romance eh, hindi naman siya basta't hubad lang," said Jessy.

Meanwhile, Matteo Guidicelli said that he prepared physically for the sexy scenes. Matteo tried triathlon to get a leaner body, got dark, lost weight and got a new haircut. He also said that they had undergone several acting workshops and immersions for the series.

Martin del Rosario and Denise Laurel Topbill New PHR Series Pintada

Young actor Martin del Rosario will be having his first lead role in a teleserye via Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Pintada. Martin del Rosario will be playing leading man to PHR veteran, Denise Laurel.

This will be the first time that Martin and Denise will be paired together although they already worked together in Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos way back in 2007. 

In an interview during the promo shoot for Pintada last May 29, Martin shared his excitement of topbilling a show and working with a love team for the first time. He also shared a bit of the plot of Pintada, which will be dealing with a high school student falling in love with his teacher.

"Ang sarap magtrabaho kapag leading man na. Very interesting 'yung role at first time ko rin na magkaroon ng ka-love team sa drama. Ilang years na ako sa ABS-CBN pero wala pa akong nagiging ka-love team. Ang swerte ko kasi first time tapos si Denise Laurel pa. Hindi ba totoo namang nangyayari 'yung high school student tapos magkaka-crush ka sa teacher? So kahit medyo nine-nerbyos ako, excited ako for the role,” Martin said.

PHR series usually require daring scenes but Martin said that he is ready to delve into the role even though this will be the first time that he will have a kissing scene for a series.

“First time ko magki-kissing scene. Si Denise naman nakailang 'Precious Hearts Romance' na siya, so tutulungan din niya ako. At saka siyempre kaya ko din naman. Ilalagay ko lang sarili ko sa character. Okay sa akin kahit anong sabihin ni direk. Kasi TV naman ito so may limitation pa rin,” he said.

PBB alum Yen Santos and Angelito: Batang Ama cast member Lemuel Pelayo will also join PHR Pintada. Eslove Briones is also a member of the cast. This new Precious Hearts Romances series will be under the unit of Direk Lauren Dyogi.

Here are some of the photos from the look test of PHR Pintada:
