Diehard Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa fans wish to have their idols back in each others’ arms. But there’s talk that Echo is seeing a new girl while Tintin is supposedly with Oyo Sotto.

A few months ago, hopes were high that Echo and Tintin will be romantically reunited when they worked together in the teleserye Dahil May Isang Ikaw.

If Oyo were not in the picture, would Echo and Tintin have reconciled? No one knows. Echo, for his part, was linked to Cindy Kurleto, Heart Evangelista, Karylle, Brianna Evigan and Carmen Soo.

Echo and Tintin may be sweet on and off the screen but it seems highly improbable for the two to be together again. Just like the old Tagalog saying, “kung hindi uukol, hindi bubukol”, a TinTin-Echo romance is nowhere near the horizon. According to recent sightings, the alleged new girl in Echo’s life is none other than SNN reporter, the pretty, smart Cesca Litton. It was reported that they were spotted together inside her car parked somewhere in Eastwood Mall last Jan. 24.

Cesca was a sportscaster and radio personality before she joined SNN. According to the entertainment blogsite www.darlasauler.com, Echo and Cesca were spotted together several times since December. They were also seen inside a wine shop somewhere in Pasig after ABS-CBN’s Christmas Special at the Araneta Coliseum.

Will Echo duck from the issue linking him to Cesca? I’m sure he will face the music. Echo’s sense of truth is his strength both as an actor and as an interviewee. In the many interviews I have done with him, I have seen him euphoric, morose, weeping and tickled pink.
During the story conference of his latest movie under Star Cinema, Echo curtly answered, “We’ve been hanging out. That’s all I can say,” when asked about the issue linking him to Cesca. He also gave a thumbs up sign when asked how he finds Cesca.

Echo has the right to love and be loved in return. I suspect he’s almost there! (Boy Abunda/Philstar)
