By Gia Allana Soriano

During an interview with in Tonight With Arnold Clavio, My Korean Jagiya leading man Alexander Lee described Filipinos and his leading lady Heart Evangelista.

He said, "Philippines is very welcoming, and the people here are very warm. So, when I first came here [it] felt like home. Because everybody was like, 'Welcome here.'"

Xander also talked about Heart, "Heart is very very nice." Heart then jokingly interrupted, "Ayusin mo. Ayusin mo," showing closeness between the two stars.

The singer-actor then genuinely proceeded, "She's really nice. She's like a real life princess. Very sweet. She's helping me a lot, even during acting. She's a sweetheart, really." Xander even added a Filipino word he learned during his stay, "Talaga."

Arnold Clavio then affirmed, "Oo naman, princess namin talaga 'yan."


Heart and Xander are currently portraying Gia and Jun Ho in GMA Telebabad's My Korean Jagiya
