Jake Cuenca was never considered to play Armando in I Love Betty La Fea, says an ABS-CBN.com source. The reason why his name cropped up among the contenders was because of some polls by different fan groups on who should have the coveted role. Plus, the fact that Jake and Bea are reportedly dating has put the couple under close scrutiny.

But even if he didn’t land the role of Armando, Jake will definitely busy with the different projects he has lined up with ABS-CBN. He will soon be starting his first project with Star Cinema with Shaina Magdayao and Maja Salvador as his co-stars. For the month of August, he’ll be busy with overseas shows with fellow Coverboys Rafael Rosell, Jon Avila, and Victor Basa.

As to who will be playing Armando, ABS-CBN is now preparing a big announcement soon. Other members of the cast were already introduced in music video aired on ABS-CBN, like Ai-Ai de las Alas, Ruffa Gutierrez, Ronaldo Valdez, Sam Concepcion, Meryl Soriano, Sheryn Regis, Joem Bascon, Lloyd Zaragoza, Marvin Yap, CJ Jaravata, and Vhong Navarro.
