At twenty-three, theatre actress Erin Javier has yet to fall in love or kiss a boy offstage, away from the klieg lights. She is the perfect leading lady—whose heart men would fight for, win, and protect—unfortunately, only until the curtains fall and the lights go down. In real life, Erin is a certified NBSB whose heart has been hoping for a song to dance to. But when two (two!) men enter from stage left and right, Erin is confused. Who deserves to take center stage in her heart—Mr. Theatre Royalty whose attention and displays of affection make her pulse race, or a good friend whose steady support has helped steer her to success and fulfill her dream?

What If We Fall In Love?
Updated at Feb 3, 2023, 00:51
What If We Fall In Love? is a collection of stories about what ifs that get answered, what ifs that end with happy ever after.What if you had a chance at love? Let it be known that Manuel La Rosa had always found Jamia Damiles beautiful, and not only in a breathtaking, how-are-you-even-real kind of way. He also found her smart, competent, and funny—you know, completely out of his league. But when she agrees to be his fake girlfriend for his cousin’s wedding, Manuel slowly realizes Jamia might be within his reach after all. What if you took the first step? Starting a food truck business isn’t easy—just ask Paz Laban, who almost burned down her truck on opening day. Thankfully, help was nearby, and it came to save the day wearing a tight shirt and a familiar face. They call him Coby now, but to her, he will always be Jako: the shy and lanky son of the Galarosas, who lived across their street in her hometown in Bicol. Little does she know that to him, she’s the unattainable crush…and now he’s ready to shoot his shot. What if you choose to be brave? Five years ago, college friends Aki Buenaventura and Bonnie Salvador made an unwritten pact to get married if they find themselves single at thirty-five. It all seemed like a forgotten promise until an ISP fail leads work-from-home employee Bonnie to knocking on Aki’s door and asking to spend a few days at his apartment. When proximity and the rush of fond memories force Aki to confront his long repressed feelings, will he finally muster the courage to take the leap?

It's all fun and games until someone catches feelings. If there's something Pio Alvez is good at, it's pretending to be someone he's not. On stage and on-screen, the actor has mastered the art of becoming the characters he plays, and his new role should be no different. After all, how difficult would it be to pretend to be smitten with a beautiful, intelligent go-getter like Audrey Alonzo? Perhaps it's more difficult pretending not to be.
