But the two got their big break as screen partners in....




The "almost" like "the sound of music" classic movie where Julie Andrews and Cristopher Plummer rocketed as on screen partners,
The story of "Wanted: Perfect Mother" revolves around Dante who lost his wife and was left with their 4 children. Now a widower, Dante was pressured by his children to look for a perfect mother for them.
Slowly, the father, Dante got emotionally connected to Carmen and vice versa.
The two fell in love. In fact, Carmen and Dante fell in love while the wife played by Liza Lorena was still alive and actually is the primary reason while Carmen left her job post as the children's governess.
The children suddenly gave Carmen cold shoulder treatment which left both Carmen and Dante clueless and confused.
What they didn't know, is that the "mayordoma" played by Caridad Sanchez is poisoning the minds of the children turning them against Carmen.
In the end, Carmen talked to the children of his main man, explaining to them that she wants nothing but the happiness of their father and that she loved him dearly.
The assurance that she will not be replacing the children's deceased mother but rather will be the second mother for them, won the children's heart and approval.
The movie is heartwarming, tender, family oriented and musical.
=) smiley for that.



That movie was produced in the 70's..
The love team continued around early 80's, I guess.
So that was it for them, sure they were given projects after that era but it wasn't till 2011 that they belonged to the same casting for a project.
At first, the relationship between Remedios (Boots Anson Roa) and Edgardo (Dante Rivero) was pure friendship since Remedios is the wife of Edgardo's bestfriend, Jaime (Ronaldo Valdez).
And it was not till the end of Remedios's character that Edgardo professed his love to her while she is in coma.
But even before that scene, "some" people (including myself, i must say) has been buzzing about the extra tender looks of Edgardo to Remedios. The perhaps too much tenderness and care is what gave the "secret love" away.
It just kinda felt good to see onscreen partners be reunited though not in the typical boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife set-up together again.
