What’s next for Enrique Gil?
Gil’s talent manager Ranvel Rufino has also graced the event, sharing some of the plans for the actor. Rufino reinstates Gil’s willingness to take on “new roles” and “new challenges.” But above all, comfort is their priority.
Questions about “rebranding” has also made it to the discourse, in which a direct Rufino states: “Not because of me but because of him and probably his experience and years in the business, yes, there will be a rebranding,” pointing at the first project that Gil will soon undertake.
Gil’s contract renewal came after three years without a project. The actor last headlined the ABS-CBN teleserye “Make It With You,” which was then halted as the coronavirus crisis instigated major restrictions in 2020.
