There is a new love team in town and it clearly shows strong ‘kilig’ potential in OKS’ (Online Kapamilya Shows’ “Hello Stranger.” This pair on-the-rise is that of Vivoree Esclito and Patrick Quiroz or Kookay and Seph in the trending BL series. For an experimental team-up, PatVoree has surprisingly made a striking entrance in the love team arena and they tell us how.
Besides the long established friendship, PatVoree’s chemistry stems from the equal amounts of effort and passion they give off. Vivoree explained it best when she said they are a ‘team’ for a reason. “Kasi pareho kaming gustong gawin ang best namin. Kasi ‘yung chemistry hindi pwede ‘pag isa lang, so dapat both sides may effort in working the chemistry.”
Patrick added that they had to double their effort and patience in dealing with the new taping protocols. Of course, even the entertainment industry is affected by the quarantine policies, so artists are tasked to shoot on their own. Actors won’t survive these days with acting abilities alone. Everyone is required to put on the production cape as well and become jack of all trades. They need to learn how to fix their own makeup, wardrobe, set, and even camera angle on their own but with full virtual coordination with the production team.
Vivoree is still in Bohol, making the most of the rare quality time spent with family. The quarantine period is the longest she’s been home since becoming an artista. Meanwhile, Patrick’s ultimate quarantine activities are gardening with grandma, watching movies, and playing mobile games. Their acting workshops continue online as well.
To determine how effective Patrick and Vivoree are as a love team, they took on a Compatibility Test and the result was impressive. Patrick confessed that he searched Vivoree up on the internet as part of getting to know his new love team partner. It didn’t come as a surprise, therefore, when he showcased extensive knowledge about her.
Patrick knows the name of Vivoree’s pet (Kenji), her full name (Ma Vivoree Nina M. Esclito), her exact birthdate (August 3, 2000), and her hometown (Bohol).
Meanwhile, Vivoree was able to give the correct answers to Patrick’s favorite sports (basketball), exact height (5’9”), and shoe size (10.5).
In the next round called Isa Laban sa Lahat (The Fans VS Idol Edition), the artists were joined by devoted PatVoree shippers who showcased their knowledge about their idols.
Through this challenge, we discovered that Vivoree’s first pet was a fish, she’s a big Justin Bieber fan, and her favorite vegetable is okra. Interestingly, Patrick knew all these through their random conversations and just by paying attention to her.
Patrick revealed that he threw in two peace emoticons as caption to his first Instagram post. His second single is titled “Paano Ba Naman” and his first cover song on Tiktok was “Nobela.” Vivoree got all these answers correctly. It was also mentioned that Patrick played as Lester in Wansapanataym: Ikaw Ang GHOSTo Ko.
The fans won against Vivoree in the first round while Patrick dominated the next half with a perfect score.
