Zaijian Jaranilla & Jane Oineza go daring in new digital series

You may remember actor Zaijian Jaranilla as the adorable orphan from the 2009 tearjerker "May Bukas Pa" on ABS-CBN. Now 23, Zaijian is all grown up and is taking on steamier scenes in the upcoming Puregold digital series "Si Sol at si Luna," which will premiere on YouTube on May 31 at 7 p.m.

During the media conference for the digital series at the World Trade Center in Pasay City on May 16, fans were excited when the trailer featured Zaijian in a romantic scene with his on-screen partner Jane Oineza.

Zaijian said he was nervous about the public response to his latest project. But he was thankful for the support of ABS-CBN and Star Magic in his career.

"Ang Star Magic po ay sobrang supportive sa mga project na pinipili ko. Ako pa rin ang pumipili ng project ko. Sobrang thankful ko sa kanila dahil hindi nila ako binibigyan ng limitation. (Star Magic is very supportive of the projects I choose. I still choose my projects. I'm very thankful to them because they don't give me limitations.)

"Kinabahan ako noong napanood ko yung trailer kasi hindi ko alam kung ano ang magiging reaction ng tao sa akin. Pero masaya rin naman ako dahil may mga comment na nag-e-explore rin ako sa ibang klase ng role. Gusto ko rin talaga maka-experience ng ibang role dahil iba yung nararamdaman ko kapag gumaganap ako ng ibang character. (I was nervous when I watched the trailer because I didn't know how people would react to me. But I'm also happy because there are comments that I'm also exploring other types of roles. I also really want to experience other roles because I feel different when I play other characters)," the young actor said.
