MANILA, Philippines – Fresh from winning Favorite Remake and Favorite Mellow Video in the 2011 Myx Music Awards, Christian Bautista talked about his travels in Europe---including bumping into Bruno Mars in Paris on March 4.

“Bumibili ako ng belt sa Louis Vuitton store when I saw him trying out some clothes. So, I approached him and said, ‘’’Are You Bruno Mars!’ Sabi niya, ‘Yes, it’s me.’ Sabi ko, ‘ I’m Filipino and I know you’re going to the Philippines soon. Can I have a picture with you?’” Bautista said.

Though the singer behind the hit songs “Grenade” and “Just The Way You Are” acknowledged the greeting, Bautista was barred from realizing the photo opportunity because the international star’s bodyguards stepped between them.

“”No,’ sabing ganun nung bodyguard,” Bautista recounted, laughing. “Naintindihan ko naman. Busy yung tao sa pag-sha-shopping.”

Bautista visited several European countries including Norway, Vienna, Italy and France in the span of 11 days. Though he was there for a concert tour with Erik Santos, he made time to visit some of the tourist spots including the Eiffel Tower.

He also mingled with his OFW fans in those places; spending more time with them than usual knowing that they only see Pinoy celebrities once in a blue moon.

“Kaya naman napaka-warm ng pagtanggap nila sa amin. Nililibre pa nga nila kami,” the singer recalled.

Bautista plans to return to Europe as he was impressed with the unique character of its cities. On his tick list for next time are stops in Greece, Spain and Germany.

“And when I return to Paris, sana with a girlfriend na,” he said.

Those countries (and that girl, whoever she is) will have to wait. In the coming weeks, Bautista will be busy promoting his first international movie, “Jayden’s Choir.” He said the movie will be shown in Indonesia and the Philppines, and maybe in Malaysia and Singapore, too. Aside from his acting, fans can look forward to hearing the movie theme song which he sang, titled “I’m Already King.”

Currently, the singer is promoting his DVD under Universal Records titled “Romance Revisited: The Music Video Collection.” The videos feature beauties Sarah Geronimo (in the duet “Please Be Careful With My Heart”); Paula Taylor (“Tell Me Your Name”); Solenn Heusaff, Anne Curtis and Angel Locsin (“Beautiful Girl”); Carmen Soo (“Afraid For Love To Fade”); Cristine Reyes (“I Remember The Girl”); Angelica Panganiban (“A Wonderful Christmas”); Kewei Tay (of Singapore); Bunga Citra Lestari (Indonesia); and Noryn Aziz (Malaysia).

“Romance Revisited: The Music Video Collection” also has exclusive interviews, behind the scene clips and his travel videos.

Christian Bautista’s most recent concert in Manila, “My Beautiful Girl,” airs on ABS-CBN on March 24.
