Both Lea Salonga and Aga Muhlach have been asked when they’re going to do a new movie together. The two were romantically linked with each other when they did a couple of movies that did very well in the box office back in the early 1990s: “Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal” and “Sana Maulit Muli”.

Remaining good friends over the years, Aga and Lea continue to speak well of one another, with Lea even appearing in an episode of Aga’s “Pinoy Explorer” after it recently returned on the air with a new season.

When they were asked by reporters on separate occasions about that long-awaited third team-up, both said there are two things that could finally make this a reality. One is for both of them to be in good shape before returning to the big screen and two, a good script must be presented to them.

Both Aga and Lea acknowledged that they’ve already made progress working on the first one and even went as far as admitting that they go to the same gym. As for the second one, Aga Muhlach happily announced that something is already in the works.

“May istorya na!” a bearded Aga exclaimed to Lea during the latter’s “Playlist” concert at the PICC Plenary Hall last Sunday. The actor who came to watch the concert with wife Charlene Gonzalez provided a goosebumps moment in the show when he came up onstage to present Lea with a bouquet of flowers during the encore portion of the concert.

Aga and Lea kept teasing each other and even touched on their respective network affiliations. “You know, the composer of the theme from ‘Pinoy Explorer’ is here,” Lea said before pointing to brother Gerard who was conducting the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra that accompanied her that night.

Aga, who also hosts “Let’s Ask Pilipinas” for TV5, countered by asking Gerard, “Ano ka ba talaga, ABS-CBN or TV5?” The audience roared with laughter.

Then Aga, finally revealed the good news. “I spoke to Malou Santos of Star Cinema and the director of ‘Kailangan Kita’ and ‘Dubai’ (Rory B. Quintos) and they told me, may istorya na,” Aga said in reference to their reunion movie project as everyone applauded in approval.

Lea, who initially told Aga to leave the stage in jest, eventually asked him to stay as she performed an acoustic rendition of “Sana Maulit Muli” to the delight of the full house crowd that included Charlene, their respective children and Gerard Salonga who could not resist recording the special moment on his mobile phone.
