Zaijian Jaranilla, who plays Santino in the leading primetime soap opera May Bukas Pa, recently signed a contract with Star Records to do an inspirational album that will include songs from the hit teleserye. Zaijian won't be singing in the album, but will instead do inspirational conversations with Bro. When asked about the content of the dialogues, the child star answered, “Magkukuwento kaming dalawa kung paano po maging mabait, paano mag-pray at paano po maging masunurin.”

The contract signing was attended by Star Records head Annabelle Regalado-Borja, Star Magic head Johnny Manahan, and Star Cinema managing director Malou N. Santos. The young actor also got big news from Santos who told Zaijian—within the earshot of everybody present—to mention that he is slated to make a movie with Piolo Pascual. Zaijian later said that he is excited about the project although he has not met Piolo yet.

May Bukas Pa has also extended its run until the end of the year or until early next year. Asked how he feels about this, Zaijian replied, “Siyempre po masaya kasi lahat ng magagaling na artista mage-guest sa May Bukas Pa.” He said that some of the stars that he wants to work with include Sarah Geronimo, Kim Chiu, and Gerald Anderson.

For the week of August 10, King of Comedy Dolphy will be the special guest of the inspirational teleserye and Zaijian said that he is happy to work with the veteran actor, whom he considers his idol. “Masaya po siyang kasama. Mabait po siya,” he described.

With his effective portrayal of Santino, people not only call Zaijian by his popular character’s name but some actually think that he has the gift to heal the sick, like what happened when a small boy approached him during one of their taping days. “Nung nagti-tape po kami hindi pa ako kasama [sa scene], may lumapit na isang boy, sabi niya, ‘Santino, pagamot,’” he recalled.

Zaijian could be considered today as the biggest child actor, but he said that he’s like any ordinary kid. “Hindi naman po puro taping. Tuwing Friday at Saturday nakakapagpahinga ako. Naglalaro din po ako ng PS2 at tagu-taguan. Atsaka ‘pag Monday, Wednesday.”

The young star also expressed his gratitude to the viewers who keep on supporting May Bukas Pa so that it continues to top the primetime block. “Thank you po sa pagsuporta sa show naming May Bukas Pa, sana po lagi n’yo pong panoorin ang May Bukas Pa dahil laging panalo kayo kay Bro.”
