First date? ‘SnoRene’ Maris Racal, Anthony Jennings share advice 

MANILA, Philippines — Although Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings are not an item in real life, they admitted that they still felt excited to shoot one of their most iconic scenes in the hit ABS-CBN and Netflix series “Can’t Buy Me Love” – their first date – as the star-crossed love team SnoRene.

“Sa’kin, special s’ya, ‘yung mga first dates kasi matagal mo s’yang inaasam-asam, ‘di ba? Kasi first date is the attraction, gusto mo s’ya makausap,” Maris shared at her and Anthony’s recent launch as new Coca-Cola endorsers in Binondo, Manila.

“Wala lang, kilig lang,” said Maris, who has portrayed Irene on the series, on what she feels during a first date.

“Ako kasi sa first date, parang doon palang magkakapaan, kikilalanin n’yo palang ‘yung isa’t isa,” added Anthony, who played Snoop.

“So hundred percent pa ‘yung kilig noon, and ang sarap sa pakiramdam. Magiging core memory mo s’ya.”

As for Anthony, “Live the moment. Maging totoo ka lang sa sarili mo.”

As part of the program, the beverage brand designated a “Foodmarks” signage on heritage food destinations in Binondo, and soon all over the Philippines, which can be accessed as a suggested dining list for food trippers via a mobile application map, https://www.coca-cola.com/ph/en/offerings/foodmarks. — Video by Deni Rose M.
