MANILA, Philippines – Seemingly taking Radiohead's "True Love Waits" to heart is actor Enchong Dee, who has vowed to hold off his pursuit of Julia Montes till at least the actress turn 18.
Not that he has to wait for ages as Montes will be having her debut by March next year.
Still, Dee is already demonstrating utmost fervency in the quest declaring that this early, he had already forgone dating other women.
“’Wala na. It’s a choice din na ‘wag na,” Dee said during a recent appearance on "KrisTV."
As of the moment, Dee is keeping himself busy with work. He is currently promoting Star Cinema's “The Reunion,” which will hit
theaters next week. He is also preparing for his role in ABS-CBN’s upcoming drama series “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” alongside Xian Lim, Kim Chiu and Maja Salvador.
In the interview, Dee revealed that he only has had two romantic relationships so far. He insisted that the past rumors linking him to Kim Chiu and Erich Gonzales are just that, rumors.
Dee, who used to compete nationally as swimmer, said his first girlfriend was a Cebuana, whom he met in a training camp years ago.
“Kasi ‘pag swimming, ‘pag summer, ‘yun ‘yung pinaka-height ng training, merong ibang mga taga-probinsiya na nagpupunta sa amin. So may Cebuana na nagpunta sa amin, nakipag-training, tapos doon ko siya nakilala,” he said.
Romance eventually blossomed, Dee recalled, as the training progressed.
“Ang pupuntahan nung training na ‘yun, competition sa Bacolod. So ang galing, Bicolano ako, Cebuana siya, ta’s sa Bacolod nabuo [‘yung relasyon],” he said.
The relationship did not last long, however, as distance drove them apart. "Kasi long distance. Tsaka bata pa rin naman kami noon,” he said.
The actor said that he has maintained his friendship with the girl even as he became busy with his showbiz career.
“Nagkita kami one time kasi nagkaroon ako ng show sa Cebu, tapos nag-breakfast [kami]. Effort talaga, gising ka nang maaga para makita mo siya, makita mo ‘yung family niya. Pero ‘yun lang, friends na lang,” Dee said.
Dee's next relationship was with a girl he met while he was finishing his studies in De La Salle University-Manila. But just like his first, this one didn’t work out as according to Dee, "hindi ganu'n ‘yung bonding, unlike others.”
