In not so many words, Zanjoe Marudo confessed his real feelings towards constant date Bea Alonzo. “Ang hirap kasi magsalita. Basta ang comment ko, I’m there,” said Zanjoe in an interview with Showbiz News Ngayon and Cinema One News last July 3. His short but meaningful statement was related to Bea’s previous statement that she’s on her way to falling in love with him. “On the way na ata siya, baka na-traffic lang,” he added with a laugh.

Zanjoe’s willing to wait until Bea’s ready to enter a commitment. He didn’t deny the fact that they’re really happy with the growing closeness between them these last few months. “Oo, andun pa rin kami sa proseso na [kinikilala ang isa’t isa. Ako naman, gaya ng sinabi ko dati, yung intention ko [sa kanya totoo]. Kung nasaan man kami ngayon, sobrang maligaya ako. Kung ano man ang nagagawa namin na mga bagay, sana mas mag-grow pa, kung saan man ito papunta. Hindi ko naman minamadali.”

Zanjoe couldn’t believe that it has been a year since the Kapamilya Caravan tour in Cebu where he first admitted his attraction for Bea. “Nung time na yun, halos dun pa lang talaga kami nagkakakilala dahil may ginagawa kaming trabaho. Hindi ko napapansin eh [kung ganon na katagal kaming nagkaka-bonding]. Kasi kapag masaya ka, kapag okay kayo, hindi mo napapansin yung araw dumadaan na lang. Sa ngayon ang dami pa namin kailangan malaman sa isa’t isa.”

Although they’re both busy with their respective projects, Zanjoe shared that they try their best to spend time with each other at least once a week. “Siguro pinakamaswerte na kapag weekend, kapag wala siyang ASAP, kapag wala akong taping, kapag nagkakaroon ng pack up, kapag may bagyo…”

He also loves the fact that Bea has taken a liking to golf, which happens to be his favorite pastime. “Oo, isa yun sa mga time na nakikita ko siya at nakakasama. Nakakatuwa na nagustuhan niya. Siguro kasi lagi rin niya naririnig sa akin. Yung mga lakad ko kasi kung hindi naman ako busy sa trabaho, naglalaro talaga ako ng golf. Siguro naging interesado siya matuto. Kasi sa ngayon ang dami niyang gusto matutunan. may boxing siya, zumba dance classes tsaka golf.”
