Richard has said that having his soap aired on the first slot is a challenge. “Since I moved to ABS-CBN, wala pang nakakapasok do’n sa timeslot as male lead, di ba? So, ngayon pa lang na may lead na papasok aside from Coco.”
The actor added that it was a challenge accepted, and he feels excited for the opportunity. Nevertheless, he feels pressured.
“Yeah, in-explain din naman sa amin ‘yun pero wala pa namang final, basta right now, we are embracing where we are, we are praying for success na magustuhan ng mga tao and we’ll take it from there.”
