Ysabel Ortega: Working with Alden Richards is dream come true

Actress and model Ysabel Ortega admitted that getting the chance to work with Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards in their upcoming drama series "The Gift" is a fulfilled dream.

In a press conference on Thursday, Ortega said that although she and Alden haven't shot a scene together yet, she's already extremely happy to be able to act alongside Alden for her very first teleserye on GMA 7.

"Hindi ko pa siya nakaka-eksena and 'yung taping namin, magkaiba pa kami ng mundo. Hindi pa kami nagtatagpo. But I've always dreamt of working with Alden so I'm very happy na itong first teleserye ko si kuya Alden 'yung kagad na nakatrabaho ko," she said.

Ortega just recently joined the Kapuso family before she left ABS-CBN, and she admitted that even back in her former network, she has already looked up to Alden as an actor.

Ysabel is set to play as Alden's long-lost sister in "The Gift" which is set to premiere this September. —LBG, GMA News
