Young actress Andrea Brillantes revealed that she asked her “godparent” Carlo Aquino for some love advice. The young star shared that this happened while she and Carlo were spending their free time with their co-stars from Comedy Island Philippines.
“We were inside a bahay kubo (traditional Filipino hut), and I was with my ninong, Kuya Carlo, and co-stars Ate Cai and Kuya Je. Suddenly, we had the opportunity to talk about love,” Andrea recounted.
Both of them were among the lead stars of Prime Video’s Comedy Island Philippines, along with Awra Briguela, Rufa Mae Quinto, Jerald Napoles, Cai Cortez, Justine Luzares, and Drew Arellano.
“Since I knew they had more experience in relationships, and Kuya Carlo is my ninong, I asked for some love advice, and it got emotional to the point where I started crying,” she continued.
“They gave me a lot of advice, even Sir Drew. I asked each one of them for pointers. In fact, I still have them in my notes,” she added.
Comedy actress Cai Cortez then asked Andrea if she had followed their advice, to which Andrea quickly replied, “At that time, no.”
During that period, Andrea was still in a relationship with basketball player and model Ricci Rivero until their breakup in June of the current year.
In her defense, the Senior High star stated that she has since been able to apply their advice to her current relationship status.
“But I must say, I’ve applied it now,” she added.
When asked about her current life mantra during the Comedy Island Philippines press conference, Andrea emphasized the importance of prioritizing self-love.
“You should love yourself before loving someone else,” said the 20-year-old actress.
The six-part show is a hybrid of reality, adventure, scripted and unscripted comedy acts, and planned and improvisational scenes involving seven comedians and actors from the country.
Differing from their usual dramatic roles in television series and films, with Carlo currently starring in Kung Hindi Lang Tayo Sumuko and Andrea leading the mystery-thriller series Senior High, the two expressed their surprise when Prime Video invited them to be part of the comedy-reality show.

“My question was, ‘Why did they think of me for comedy?’ Of course, I’m still thankful and excited because it involves improvisation, which I haven’t done in comedy. I was nervous, but I accepted,” Carlo said.
On the other hand, Andrea expressed her excitement about working with comedy experts.
“I thought maybe I could bring something here. They’re all good at making people laugh, so I thought I could balance it by adding some cuteness,” Andrea quipped.
Helmed by Randolph Longjas, the first three episodes of Comedy Island Philippines are now streaming on Prime Video, with the remaining three episodes set to be available next week.
