Actress-TV host Janice de Belen is willing to work again with former partner Aga Muhlach.

This she expressed in interviews following her appearance in a special episode of ABS-CBN's "Maalaala Mo Kaya."

"It’s okay. Why not?” she quipped.  “It’s going to be funny…we’d probably be teased to death [for doing it].”

Muhlach is the father of de Belen's first child, Luigi. Prior to becoming parents, the two had been paired in a couple of movies in the '80s. Muhlach is now an ABS-CBN talent.

In a separate interview, De Belen said she is willing to work with “anybody, anytime” including another ex-boyfriend, Gabby Concepcion.

But the long list, it seems, doesn’t include ex-hubby John Estrada.

“Would you want to work with a person you don’t like?” she said in an interview with a website.

She refused to elaborate, however.

"No big deal there. I don’t want to add to it. That’s all there is to it… plain and simple.”

Many speculated that the MMK appearance will lead to de Belen—who is now freelancing after her GMA talk show “SIS” folded recently—being signed up as an exclusive ABS-CBN talent.

De Belen was quick to downplay the notion saying that she has yet to receive a formal offer from the network.

In an interview with ABS-CBN, however, de Belen said she welcomes the possibility.

"Life is hard. Right now, [the local showbiz industry] is not that stable. Work is work, if the terms [ABS-CBN offers] are acceptable, why not?”
