LOISA Andalio and Alexa

Ilacad, lead stars of the series Pira-pirasong Paraiso,” claim they are both good at keeping secrets shared with them by close friends, but draw the line at keeping those that can potentially endanger the people they love.

“I can be trusted when it comes to keeping secrets, but it really depends on whether they’re good or bad. If it’s something that involves fooling, cheating or scamming other people, then I will ask this person to sit down with me first and talk about it,” Loisa told Inquirer Entertainment in a recent media junket. Loisa plays a con artist named Baby, who takes on the job of pretending to be one of the long-lost sisters of a young and rich woman (Charlie Dizon as Diana Lamadrid). As she navigates a world of cunning and lies, she learns about right and wrong, love and family, and striking truths about herself.

“What I’m not good at is keeping quiet about surprises. I get so excited and I can’t keep it to myself, like the surprise party we were planning for KD (Estrada),” said Alexa of her onscreen partner.

“But with keeping secrets, I’m pretty good at that. When my friends tell me something, I don’t snitch on them because I don’t want to get in trouble. That’s the main difference between me and my character in this series.”

Alexa plays Angela Medina, a multiawarded journalist. She is constantly struggling to uncover the truth and fight for what’s true. “Her piece of the story here is all about revenge,” Alexa pointed out.

“While I love Angela for fighting hard for what she believes in and for standing up for herself, I’m not like her at all. In a way, I do not like conflict or arguments, so I stay quiet most of the time.”

The actress continued: “Unlike her, I don’t always make the effort to find things out. Maybe that’s something I lack. It’s just that I like my peace and quiet more, and I just go through whatever I go through.” The ‘gift’

Alexa, however, said she is able to determine whether or not KD, whom she has been dating since 2022, is being secretive to her. “I’m able to tell if he is keeping something from me, even if we’re just texting. I don’t have that ‘gift’ with anyone else. I guess this is why I always get backstabbed by people I trust—I’m not good at judging people. With KD, it’s different. I know his soul, so I know when he’s not telling me something. I can tell by the punctuation marks he uses, with the breath he takes. I think that should amount to something.”

6 years strong

Meanwhile, when Loisa and Ronnie were asked to share the secret to their six-year relationship, Loisa said: “Aside from patience, you have to have trust. It’s also important that you communicate to each other your inner thoughts and feelings. You have to be able to share with your partner if you’re worried about something. He or she can’t always guess why you’re feeling sad or disappointed. By being open to each other, misunderstandings can be avoided.”

Ronnie agreed with Loisa, but added: “Respect is another thing. To those who are new in their relationships, don’t expect everything to be easy all the time. You will not always be
