In a move that no one saw coming, two of the most iconic figures in Philippine television—Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa—are finally reuniting on-screen after years of clamor from fans! Yes, you read that right: the legendary EchoTin tandem is making a much-awaited comeback, and the internet is absolutely losing it.

The announcement came as a delightful shock late last night when a teaser photo showing Jericho and Kristine together on set began circulating online. Though both actors have remained relatively quiet about the project, reliable industry insiders have confirmed that the two will headline a new television drama—marking their first major collaboration in nearly two decades.

A BLAST FROM THE PAST

Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa skyrocketed to fame in the early 2000s thanks to their unforgettable chemistry in shows like Pangako Sa ’Yo and Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas. Their on-screen love story captivated millions, turning them into household names not only in the Philippines but across Asia. Many fans even hoped for a real-life romance between the two, but life had other plans. Kristine eventually married actor Oyo Sotto, while Jericho moved on to other high-profile relationships and career paths.

Despite pursuing separate personal and professional journeys, fans never stopped wishing for their reunion. Over the years, multiple “EchoTin Forever” fan groups have remained active, keeping the hope alive for that one big comeback—and now, it’s finally happening.

WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR

According to preliminary reports, the upcoming project is a primetime teleserye under one of the country’s biggest networks. The plot is being kept tightly under wraps, but insiders hint at a mature, emotionally intense storyline that will challenge both actors and tug at viewers’ heartstrings. It’s said to be a far cry from their classic love stories of the past—this time, the narrative will delve into themes of redemption, second chances, and healing from long-buried pain.

Filming has reportedly begun, and a full teaser trailer is expected to drop in the coming weeks.

FANS GO WILD

As expected, social media has erupted with excitement. The hashtag #EchoTinReunion trended within minutes of the first photo release, with thousands of fans expressing their joy and disbelief.

Kristine Hermosa on working with Jericho Rosales: ‘Depends on the project’
Kapamilya actress Kristine Hermosa revealed in a recent interview that she is open to working on a new project with former on screen partner Jericho Rosales. The Pangako Sa’Yo star shared that it will all depend on the material that will be given to them if she’s up for the role.

Kristine and Jericho were last paired up in the 2003 show, Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas.

“Oo naman. Well, it really depends. It depends on the project, it depends on the scenes–– it just depends. I need to see everything first. I really filter everything first, if what we’re doing is worth it. It’s not just saying that [we] did something together,” she shared.

Meanwhile, she added that her husband, Oyo Sotto, is supportive of her decisions in her career and it is actually her who chooses what project she’ll be taking up. Her last onscreen appearance was in the 2017 hit show, Bagani, where she was briefly seen.

“There’s no problem with him. He’s very professional, so if I want to, he’ll support me. He’s okay. The thing is, I’m the one who really [chooses]. It’s really my choice,” she said.

“I don’t like doing just anything. If I do, it’s something that’s worth it, worth my time and effort. Of course, I’ll leave my children behind. Just a good project, the one that matters,” she added.

Despite being decades since the last two worked with each other, several fans shared their clamor on social media for a reunion project for the two.

In a previous interview for the cover story of Cosmopolitan Philippines, Jericho expressed his willingness to work once more with his former on screen partner.

“I’ve always said it: I want to work with Kristine because I feel like [it’s] some sort of unfinished business when it comes to our run,” he previously shared.
