Actor Diether Ocampo said he is open to the idea of a role in ABS-CBN's afternoon soap "Prinsesa ng Banyera" topbilled by his former real life sweetheart, actress Kristine Hermosa.

In an interview with the members of entertainment media, Ocampo said that if there's an offer from management, he will gladly welcome it.

The actor, however, said he still cannot confirm reports that he is being considered for a part in the afternoon soap.

He said that while such an offer would be welcome, he has yet to receive an invitation.

Ocampo's statement stemmed from reports that Diet-Kristine fans are asking the network to include Ocampo in the popular afternoon series.

Working with Kristine

Recently, Ocampo confirmed reports that he and Hermosa were sighted in the island of Boracay.

He said they were in Boracay to do a photo shoot for a special project.

"Ngayon okay naman kami, in fact, nagka-trabaho kami pero for photo shoot. Abangan na lang nila iyon may ginawa kaming project together na nag-trabaho kami for a particular photo shoot," Ocampo said,

And as usual, Ocampo was unable to clarify the status of his on-off, sort-of relationship with Hermosa. He said that what is more important now are the good things happening in their lives.

"Sa ngayon kasi hindi ko muna iniisip iyon dahil sa gaya ng sinasabi ko medyo maganda naman iyong mga nangyari pareho sa amin dahil pareho kaming abala sa trabaho at the same time may bago kaming proyekto na ginagawa for ABS-CBN," Ocampo added.

Ocampo also denied a report that he is asking for "a break" from his love team with Hermosa.

"Wala akong nabanggit na ganoon. Hindi ako pwedeng mag-decide pagdating sa ganyang bagay. Ngayon okay naman kami."

Ocampo is now busy with his K.I.D.S Foundation for poor children.

Ocampo's K.I.D.S. Foundation helps underprivileged children of Metro Manila and other provinces in the country.

He is also part of "Maligno," the second offering of ABS-CBN's "Sineserye Presents: The Susan Roces Collection" with his best friend Claudine Barretto.
