Madrid and Padilla answered Cebu Daily News Digital’s question through a video uploaded on Kapuso PR Girl’s Facebook and Instagram pages on March 11 and 12, 2019, respectively, as part of their Press Play.
“Ever since naman natural ang chemistry. I mean kung paano na buo ang love team,” Padilla said.
Both first paired in GMA’s fantasy series “Encantadia” in 2016 were Padilla and Madrid played, Sang’gre Amihan and Ybrahim, respectively.
“Hindi naman talaga kami dapat magiging love team. It just happens na it comes up on-screen na ramdam ng mga tao,” Padilla added.
Madrid is first known with his on-screen partner Gabbi Garcia or collectively known as GabRu.
Garcia was also part of “Encantadia,” where she portrayed Sang’gre Alena.

“Sobrang organic. Wala naman kaming issue ni Kylie siguro,” Madrid said.
Padilla also considered that there is friendship between her and Madrid, which makes them more effective on-screen.
“Yung tiwala namin sa isa’t isa, parehos kaming nag a-alayan na to the point hindi papabayan ang isa’t isa kapag nasa eksena kami at kahit hindi sa eksena ganoon din,” Madrid said.
