Actor Richard Gutierrez dismissed reports which said that he will be moving to ABS-CBN from its rival network GMA-7.

In an interview, the actor said that he is thankful to the Kapamilya network for welcoming him as a guest artist for the movie "For the First Time" with KC Concepcion. He said however that he would still remain a 'Kapuso' star.

"Wala ‘yong mga balitang 'yon, hindi totoo 'yon I'm just very happy na tinanggap ako ng ABS-CBN as their guest. Dream come true na makapunta ako doon at makabisita doon, masaya lahat pero siyempre hindi ko kakalimutan ang home network," he said.

Gutierrez explained that he is thankful that his mother network allowed him to do a movie with Kapamilya's movie outfit Star Cinema.

"Sila ang nag-allow sa akin na bumisita sa ABS-CBN. Ang sarap lang ng feeling na ‘yong two networks ay nag-a-agree at nag-u-unite kahit sandali lang at kami ni KC ang naging instrumemnto pero ‘yon lang ‘yon, walang lipatan na mangyayari," he stressed.

Gutierrez said that he is now excited to do a follow up movie with Concepcion but this time it will be produced by GMA Films.

"I’m very excited for our next movie... actually GMA 7 is conceptualizing the movie and we are very excited," he said.

The actor said that he will be happy to do movies anywhere, as long as he's working with Concepcion.

"Ako kahit saan basta kasama ko si KC," he said.

It will be recalled that most of scenes in the movie “For the First Time” were shot in Santorini, Greece.

With KC

Dubbed as the “Super Idol Philippine Cinema,” Gutierrez said that his relationship with Concepcion is now getting stronger especially after they shot the film.

"Mas tumibay ang samahan namin ni KC after the movie after the experiences we had together, lalo kaming tumibay na dalawa," he said.

When asked on what is the real score between him and KC, Gutierrez said: "Kami ni KC right now we are just enjoying each other's company, we are having fun and I consider her as my inspiration. ‘Yon muna kami ngayon," Gutierrez said.

The actor extended his appreciation to KC, who is now in San Francisco, USA for the premiere night of their first movie together. He said that he is proud of the courage the actress has shown and capability to handle problems especially while doing the film.

"I want to thank her. She gave her best. Binuksan niya ang sarili niya sa publiko. She's very strong, hinarap ang responsibilidad niya at ang mga problema niya. First movie niya ito at naitawid niya nang maganda ang pelikula. She did well," he said.

Concepcion and Gutierrez are set to go to Europe before September ends to promote "For the First Time" and are set to be back in the Philippines on the second week of October.
