The veteran singer-songwriter recently opened up about his unexpected career pivot during a television appearance on the entertainment talk show Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

According to an article by GMA Network published online, the musician confessed that it took him a considerable amount of time to process his new professional reality.
"Took me a while to believe that I'll be in a movie poster like that," Rico shared during the interview.
"It's with Sue Ramirez, an incredible actress, super cool. And it's directed also by my idol growing up, Eric Quizon," he added.
The decision to transition into a romantic comedy represents a conscious personal effort for Rico to break away from routine and challenge his personal boundaries.
The multi-talented artist admitted that he had reached a point where he felt the need to actively engage with the world beyond the music stage.
"I was actually forcing myself to leave my house and do stuff other than just performing in shows," he remarked.
The project gained immediate momentum once Rico discovered the creative minds working behind the scenes.
The screenplay was written by veteran screenwriter Joey, and the prospect of collaborating with Sue sparked instant creative interest.
Explaining his decision-making process, Rico said, "Nagustuhan ko 'yung story and when I found out it was Sue na they were eyeing, sabi ko, nakita ko 'yung chemistry na puwedeng mangyari. So I got excited. And I think 'yung pinaka mabilis na yes when I found out na si Direk Eric Quizon [ang mag-di-direct]."
The narrative of "Project Baby" explores modern relationship dynamics and alternative family structures.
Sue plays an independent, highly empowered career woman who is determined to have a child but specifically chooses to avoid the traditional constraints of a romantic relationship.
Her unconventional journey intersects with Rico’s character, a sensitive artist who is also a common friend within their social circle.
The production, backed by industry giant Regal Entertainment, has already generated significant online conversation regarding its contemporary themes and the unexpected on-screen pairing of its principal stars.
A pioneering figure in Pinoy rock, Rico Blanco is an acclaimed singer-songwriter and music producer who initially achieved widespread fame as a core member and chief composer of Rivermaya. He later transitioned into a successful solo artist, consistently influencing the local music industry. In his personal life, he was previously in a high-profile relationship with artist Maris Racal.
OPM icon Rico Blanco recently sparked intense curiosity among his social media followers after uploading an unexpected photograph alongside actress Sue Ramirez. The picture generated significant buzz and online speculation, given that Ramirez is known to be romantically involved with Dominic Roque. While a few commentators playfully questioned the intent behind the upload, a large number of netizens suggested that the two artists are likely collaborating on an upcoming film. Online users widely characterized the post as completely unexpected, noting that Blanco provided a cryptic one-letter caption, "B," accompanied by a scenic beach image.
Singer-songwriter Rico Blanco documented a milestone on Instagram by revealing that he has finally been introduced to infant Reina, the daughter of his brother Rey “King” Blanco, who passed away in May 2025. The veteran musician commemorated what would have been his brother's first birthday since his passing by visiting his final resting place alongside King’s eldest daughter, who arrived in her school attire while carrying her father's picture. Blanco uploaded several intimate family glimpses, detailing how he spent time with the newborn in her nursery and picked up his oldest niece directly from her school. He paired the images with a deeply personal caption reflecting his profound sorrow and heavy heart, emphasizing how much he misses his sibling while striving to honor his legacy through family care.
