Vin Abrenica makes 'Kuya' Aljur proud
Vin Abrenica could have easily entered showbiz. He could have asked older brother Aljur Abrenica to talk to a TV show director and give him (Vin) even a small role.
But the younger brother decided to do things on his own. Vin applied in TV5’s reality show “Artista Academy” and made it as one of the 16 finalists. Aljur feels it’s something to crow about.
“I’m proud of him,” Aljur says at the presscon of GMA 7’s remake of the Koreanovela “Coffee Prince.” He’s better than I am. Pwede naman siyang pumasok sa showbiz agad pero pinili nyang pumila at maghintay ng matagal sa Araneta. Mga 8 or 10 hours siyang pumila. Nagkasakit pa siya non. Wala akong chance na pumasok sa showbiz. Siya may chance, pero pinili niyang gumawa ng sarili niyang path.”
Aljur himself is taking his chance again in the primetime ratings game via “Coffee Prince,” his reunion project with Kris Bernal.
“Matagal tayong nawala -- almost a year,” he relates. “Ito ang isa sa pinakamahirap na role from GMA kasi mai-in love ang character ko sa isang taong akala ko ay lalaki (Kris).”

The Aljur-Kris chemistry, he adds, comes from sheer hard work. “Pinaghahandaan namin ang project.”
So it doesn’t matter if they’re romantically seeing someone else in real life. Aljur and Kris not only look good together, their on screen rapport make them an effective love team.
Also starring in “Coffee Prince” are Celia Rodriguez, Tessie Tomas, Leo Martinez, Ces Quesada, Ronnie Henares, Max Collins, Boy2 Quizon, Steven Silva, Fabio Ide, Sef Cadayona and Kim Komatsu.
