Allen Ansay and Sofia Pablo recall their first meeting


Allen Ansay revealed that Sofia Pablo took a photo of him discreetly during their first meeting.

StarStruck Season 7 First Prince Allen Ansay revealed that he already has a crush on Kapuso tween actress Sofia Pablo even before he joined the reality competition.

In their latest vlog, Allen admitted that the first time he saw Sofia was in the 2018 Kapuso series Sherlock Jr.

“Actually, ako talaga unang nakakilala sa kanya kasi matagal na siyang artista,” Allen admitted.

“Nakilala ko siya doon sa Sherlock Jr., 'yung may aso, 'yung kasama mo si Kuya Ruru.

“Eh, noon pa lang naku-cute-an na ako sa kanya.”

Their first meeting didn't happen until Allen, alongside other StarStruck Season 7 avengers, guested on GMA's defunct Sunday show Sunday PinaSaya, where Sofia was a regular performer.

“Nung magpe-perform na kami sa SPS, tinawag ako nung make-up artist niya. Sabi nung make-up artist niya, aayusan na daw ako so siyempre sumama naman ako,” Allen continued.

“Eh hindi ko naman alam na sa kanya nga 'yon. Siyempre inaayusan na ako 'di ba? Tapos may biglang pumasok sa pinto, parang inis. Parang inis sa akin.

“Parang naiinis siya sa akin kasi parang siya na 'yung aayusan no'n tapos biglang medyo natagalan pa siya.”

In fact, Sofia was not annoyed but was discreetly taking a picture of Allen.

She admitted, “Akala ko, hindi niya alam na pini-picture-an ko siya, eh nakatingin siya sa picture.”

“In denial ako, 'Hindi, hindi niya nakita na pini-picture-an ko siya.”

But Allen had a hunch what Sofia was doing at the time. He just kept quiet because he was not sure about it.

He said, “Ganun din 'yung nasa isip ko. Kasi iniisip ko, 'Ang assuming ko naman na pini-picture-an ako nito.”

Sofia and Allen also recalled who sent the first private message on Instagram.
