MANILA – After the success of their series “Viral Scandal”, veteran actors Dimples Romana and Miko Raval are paired anew for an episode in the ABS-CBN digital anthology, “Love Bites”.

Romana and Raval will lead the cast in the episode “Letters For Lea” that redefines love and proves that it is patient.

During the media conference Wednesday, Romana teased about how people encounter a kind of love that is short but has a lasting impact.

“Meron kasing mga kinds of love na it gets stuck on you. It grows on you. Merong mga kilig at pagmamahal na dumarating siya, ang bilis-bilis lang dumaan sayo pero it lasts … It has a lasting effect on you,” she said.

The story of “Letters For Lea” revolves around Allan (Raval) and Lea (Romana) whose love endures despite not seeing and spending time together.

“Meron tayong notion na ang pagmamahal we always have to be together. We always have to spend together. But here comes Allan and Lea who both are telling us na pwede magkaroon ng pagmamahal na somewhere out there merong taong nagmamahal sayo — redefining love and defying space and distance and time. Para sa kanilang dalawa naka-suspend ’yun.”

She also felt that the story resonates with audience who are in their 30s to 50s that are still searching for love or have found their partners late in their lives.

Romana said their upcoming episode tells the public that love can remain pure and genuine despite the time and space, adding that Lea and Allan reached out with each other after decades of longing for one another.
