Filipinos are known for being fiercely family-oriented, a fact that makes teleseryes such as the recently-concluded Be Careful With My Heart such a big hit. Another show now tugging on every Kapamilya’s heartstrings is Dream Dad. Jana Agoncillo plays the adorable Baby, a young orphan searching for a family of her own. Taking her place among the roster of phenomenal child stars, Jana has no qualms in taking baby steps as she heads on to bigger things.

Is one of the many homegrown Kapamilya child stars. We’ve seen her in a McDonald’s commercial and watched her in Honesto and Ikaw Lamang. Her fresh and innocent demeanor will definitely make Baby an adopted member of every Pinoy family.

Jana’s impish look is reminiscent of Serena Dalrymple, another Kapamilya child star way back in the ‘90s. Like Jana, Serena first popped up in a TVC for a fast food chain. From there, she went on to do movies and TV series, effectively playing comedic and dramatic roles. At seven years old, she was already able to work alongside the Star of All Seasons, Gov. Vilma Santos, in Bata, Bata, Paano Ka Ginawa? Later on, she played Seven, of the Ang Tanging Ina brood. Serena retired from her showbiz career in 2004, focusing on her academics instead. A role model for today’s child and teen stars, Serena graduated from De La Salle-College of St. Benilde with a degree in Business Administration and went on to pursue a Master of International Business degree at the Hult International Business School London.

Zaijian Jaranilla had every Kapamilya believing in miracles and in “Bro” when he portrayed Santino in May Bukas Pa. He started out as one of the gang in the gag show Goin’ Bulilit.

He has kept busy ever since, playing the title role in Lorenzo’s Time in 2012 and as Emong in Hawak Kamay. Zaijan is on a roll, already making his mark in the audience’s hearts.

Also in the cast of Hawak Kamay is another Kapamilya discovery, Xyriel Manabat. She won Best Child Actress in the 2010 MMFF, just a year after she joined the entertainment biz through Star Circle Quest: Search for the Next Kiddie Idol. After she placed third Runner-Up, she took part in several TV shows. She was able to show her acting prowess when she played the young Agua and Bendita in Agua Bendita and, later on, when she played the lead in Momay. Xyriel also played key roles in Noah and 100 Days to Heaven. This Kapamilya is just getting started, and greater things are sure to come her way.

Another Kapamilya former child star might leave his career in favor of his studies. Makisig Morales, best known as Super Inggo, had an early start in showbiz.

At the age of five, he sang in the variety show MTB. He went on to be part of ABS-CBN’s Little Big Star, a show that he eventually hosted. The now 17-year old Makisig remains active and was last seen in the teleserye Mirabella. However, he is now entertaining the idea of following the rest of his family who have migrated to Australia and studying film directing there.

In time, Makisig may prove that his superpowers can work behind the camera as well.

Noong una hindi rin daw ito nagets ni Ate Vi at Angel

s one of the hosts of The Voice of the Philippines, Luis Manzano said everyone on the show is happy with how the current season is doing.

“Okay naman. We’re very happy sa nangyayari sa season two ng The Voice. Everything is going okay. Ang inaabangan talaga natin is who will be the next Voice of the Philippines pero ang isa pang inaabangan is the interaction ng mga coaches lalo na pag nag-aagawan sa isang singer. Especially ngayon na merong steal. So mas grabe yung kulitan nila, grabe yung asaran nila para ang makuha kung sino man yung hindi nakapasok sa knockouts,” he said.

Luis dispelled rumors that coaches Lea Salonga and Apl de Ap have gotten on each other’s nerves already. “Wala, wala naman.

They’re both very outspoken pero they know the game. Never sila nagkapikunan na kahit anything serious naman,” he shared.

There has been much speculation about whether Luis will run for mayor or governor in next year’s elections but the Kapamilya actor-host says he is not confirming his candidacy just yet. “I do have to think about running very soon.

I’m still talking to a lot of people, mga bagong tao na nagugulat ako kung bakit ko na lang nakakausap and I will have a decision very, very soon. I still have to make my mind up very soon.

Hindi naman public announcement. Hindi ko naman nakikita na sasabhin ko, ‘Eto pakinggan niyo, tatakbo ako!’ The way I see it, it’s something very personal. Hindi ko kailangan i-broadcast kung sakaling tatakbo na ako. Hindi naman ako showbiz in that aspect. So ang sa akin, if I decide to run at siguro nagkataon na may interview na mangyari, I’ll be open about it or siguro makikita ako sa filing. But as of this moment I’m taking everything in, all sides, both the pros and cons kung sakaling tumakbo ako, ano yung mga kailangan. Andun pa ako sa lagay na yun,” he explained.

Another consideration for Luis if he does run is prioritizing politics over show business. “I would like to take it easy, way easy. Kasi kung saka sakaling tumakbo ako, the voters need my undivided attention. It would be very unfair sa isang botante kung tatakbo ako tapos ipapagkatiwala nila sa akin buong buhay nila, especially for a first timer pero hati yung attention ko. Napakaunfair sa tao na yung tiwala na yun na isusulat yung pangalan mo sa ballot. So kung sakali I’d have to really slow down sa mga ginagawa ko para sa showbiz,” he said.

Luis said he is already thankful for his mom’s vote of confidence.

Vilma Santos recently admitted she had gone through some depression after her longtime aide Aida Fandialan passed away earlier this year. “Sana nga naman my mom respects my decision

aktres sa iisang pelikula.

and it’s also nice to know na throughout my 33 years on this earth, she has faith in me. I probably did a few things right din naman.

My mom recovered na naman. She pretty much grew up with Ate Aida. I grew up with ate Aida. For someone that close to her to pass away, siyempre kumbaga nanibago bigla yung mundo niya. So that’s why her health had to suffer for a bit. But now we’re coming into terms with loss. Kumbaga alam naman niya yan. She’s bouncing back,” he confirmed.

Luis said if he ever does run, he already has a “first lady” in mind.

“Si Angel whenever we’d start talking about politics grabe yung suporta niya. Nagugulat ako kasi alam natin na medyo madumi ang mundio ng pulitika. Minsan bilang isang girlfriend or bilang isang soon-to-be-wife ay sabihin, ‘Ay huwag na, magulo yung mundo na yan.’ Pero si Angel has shown nothing but support since day one,” he admitted. When asked how serious he is about calling Angel Locsin his soon-to-be-wife, Luis further stressed that he meant what he said. “Dun naman papunta lahat ng bagay. We’re taking everything in stride,” he added.

After turning down a chance to do a movie with his mom and Angel next year, Luis said he is excited to see both of his favorite ladies on the big screen in one film. “Nabasa ko nga yun. I read it online. Hopefully, I would love to see them together. Yung movie pa lang nila excited na ako eh. I think they’re starting very, very soon,” he admitted.

in The Aswang Chronicles movie franchise.

Echoing what his soon-to-be wife Marian Rivera said, Dingdong Dantes claimed that he also wants to focus with his upcoming family after their wedding. In an interview with Dingdong during the recently-concluded press conference of his Metro Manila Film Festival entry, Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2, Dingdong shared that he wants to have a baby by 2015.

Dingdong and Marian are set to wed on December 30 at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Cubao.

With Dingdong keen on becoming a dad soon, he just brushed off the idea that he made it to the Top 20 2016 Senatorial election survey.

“If you ask me right now I really don’t have any plans. Sa ngayon po talaga ang concentration ko talaga is to build my family,” he claimed.

More than two weeks bago ang binansagan na “Royal Wedding” ng showbiz couple na sina Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes, naglaan pa rin ng oras si Dingdong para sa mga kababayan na apektado ng kalamidad sa Visayas region. Dito sinabi ni marian sa ating interview na mas nai-in-love siya sa kanyang future husband.

“Lalo ako humahanga sa kanya kasi instead na nandito siya at nagpi prepare ng kasal naming nandoon talaga siya para abisuhan ang mga kababayan natin para mag ingat at sabihan ang mga kababayan natin ng mga dapat nila gawin para aware sila at least para yung nangyari sa Yolanda ay maiwasan na talaga.”

Kahit halos kadikit ng kanilang kasal ang Pasko, hindi daw nito ma-o-overshadow ang pinaka masayang okasyon buong taon.

“Sa Christmas ganun pa rin, sa 24 sa kanila, sa 25 sa Cavite pa rin kami. Hindi pwede kalimutan ang Pasko isa yan sa mga sine celebrate namin at kailangan talaga na ipagdiwang talaga. Sa New Year kasama ko si Papa kasi uuwi dito si Papa siya naman ang kasama ko.”

Plano ni Marian at Dingdong na magkaroon ng maraming anak. Kaya sagot ni Marian, sana magka-baby na sila agad-agad.

“Sabi ko nga agad-agad dapat magka-baby na kami pagka ‘I do’ namin yun na yun. Sana bigyan kami ng Panginoon ng pagkakataon na magka anak talaga dahil ang anak blessing talaga yan eh hindi pwede na gusto mo ang mangyayari sa iyo kusa yan na ibibigay ng Panginoon.”

January 2015

With their being vocal about building a family, Dingdong as early as now claimed that Marian might take a short break from showbiz if she indeed gets pregnant with their first baby in 2015. But he quickly explained that they won’t be gone from the limelight permanently.

“No naman, it depends on the circumstances pero sa ngayon kasi wala namang kasiguraduhan eh and para sa amin marriage naman doesn’t mean that it’s the start and end. Start of slowing down when it comes to your job and your career as an actor.

Parang all the more nga na mas dapat mahalin mo siya because you’re doing it now for a family, for a wife and for a husband,” explained Dingdong who plays the role of Aswang-slaying Makoy

hindi ito ma confirm ni Marian dahil si Dingdong daw ang lahat ng nag asikaso nito.

“Hindi ako makapag bigay ng specifics ng mga detalye kung ano ang mangyayari alam ko kung ano ang magaganap pero si Dong ang lahat ng nag asikaso kaya hindi ko talaga alam so looking forward talaga ako.

Gusto kasi naming na ma imbita ang lahat ng tao na nagmamahal sa amin kaya halos talaga lahat nandoon pero ewan ko lang kung kakayanin hindi pa naming alam.”

Madadagdagan na nga ba ng “Dantes” ang kanyang screen name after the wedding?

“Bilang artista nakilala po ako as Marian Rivera pero sa personal at totoong buhay Dantes naman po ang gagamitin ko. Doon sa invitation namin na naipamigay may nakalagay doon na lahat ng gusto nila ibigay na gift ay huwag na kumbaga mas ma appreciate naming kung ibibigay na lang lahat sa charity at sa Yes Pinoy foundation.”

Sa ngayon pitong bridal showers na ang nagaganap para kay Marian at pinagpapasalamat niya ito dahil marami ang nagmamahal sa kanila ni Dong.

Dahil “Royal Wedding” ang kanilang kasal, maraming segments ng kasalan ang kumalakat na magaganap pero

Dingdong underscored that politics remains in the backseat for him because “Sa sobrang dami po ng ginagawa sa Yes Pinoy, sa NYC (National Youth Commission). Do’n palang sa trabaho ko palang marami na.”

As to the question of the number of kids that they plan to have, Dingdong echoed Marian’s previous statement that he’s also up for “as many as they both can.”

Meanwhile, with their wedding happening in less than three weeks, Dingdong shared that they have yet to pick a honeymoon venue. Although one thing is certain, they are taking a leave after their big day.

“Humingi po kami ng leave pero sandali lang. ‘Yung sa akin mga less than a month. Actually may deadline kami sa nagbo-book sa amin eh. Dapat by tomorrow meron na kami. Europe siguro.

South, Italy. Pero wala pa ngang kasiguraduhan,” he said.

The actor-producer shared that the reason why his leave with Marian would be short was because he’s set to host a reality show next year while Marian is slated to be part of a soap opera.

Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2 is one of the eight entries in this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival come December 25.

Glaiza was known for her role Halley on Berks. She also did soaps like Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin and some episodes on Maalaala Mo Kaya. Today, Glaiza thrives both in TV and in the big screen as an actress. She does both mainstream and independent films, one of her most notable ones was Madaling Araw Mahabang Gabi back in 2012 which she co-starred with Angelica Panganiban.

She was the star of GMA’s Dading and was part of drama series Mrs. Real.

From being Aries, Nicole’s love interest on Berks, Carlo has blossomed into a full-fledged actor that’s best identified for doing out-of-the-box roles. Among his most notable works lately was when he played the role of an antagonist on the top-rating Annaliza remake and in the Cinemalaya indie film entry Porno. He will be back on TV soon as part of the Marvin Agustin-Jolina Magdangal comeback teleserye Flordeliza.

Almost 12 years since the teen-oriented show Berks ended, Push.com.ph gives a rundown of what has become of the endearing cast.

Ketchup remains active as an actor both on TV and on the big screen. He appeared as a pediatrician on Be Careful With My Heart and John Lloyd Cruz’ officemate on Home Sweetie Home. He was most recently seen at the Ipaglaban Mo episode titled “Ibigay Ang Aming Karapatan” together with returning actor JM de Guzman.

After playing the role of Simon, Cholo Barretto, the nephew of controversial actress Claudine Barretto, had a few projects every now and then, the most recent of which was the highly-acclaimed indie 10,000 Hours starring Robin Padilla and the box office hit Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo? He made headlines last May for accepting an award on behalf of his aunt and speaking up about the ongoing feud in their family.

Karel who played Penelope has remained an active part of showbiz and also dabbled in the makeup business. She is a single mom of two kids aged five and three after parting ways with her children’s father early in 2012. She has found new love in a man named Sean. She recently became a hurado on ABS-CBN’s noontime show It’s Showtime.

Marc who was known as the lanky Oreo on the teen show has turned into a sports enthusiast. While he has put his showbiz career on hold to finish his college degree, Marc has returned to his acting roots. He has been quoted as saying that he dreams of working with Iza Calzado.

He appeared on GMA’s drama series Adarna.

After playing Javier on the teen show, John instead shifted to comedy, hosting, and dancing and is one of the regulars of gag show Banana Split. Like ex-girlfriend Heart, he also recently topped headlines after popping the question to longtime girlfriend Isabel Oli, flash mob-style. The couple are set to wed May of next year.

Allyzon, like Ketchup, has also been active in doing character roles ever since she retired her role as Jennifer on Berks. She was last seen in the dark comedy film Tuhog starring Eugene Domingo just last year while her last soap was Imortal starring John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin back in 2010.

Allyzon currently dabbles in destination photography while finishing her MBA degree.

She was formerly known as Carolina on Munting Paraiso and Pamela Sue on Berks. While the teen show has been her breakthrough project in the business, not too many remember that she has actually been part of different shows after it ended. She used to be a “tadjock” or a segment host of the comedic news program Wazzup Hazel’s Ann’s subdued aura gave life to her character Brooke. The show has opened a lot of doors for this FilipinaSpanish actress as she starred in several other soaps such like Gulong ng Palad which starred Kristine Hermosa and the romance-based program Love Spell for the episode Charm & Crystal in 2006. She transferred networks and then returned to ABS-CBN after a few years.

Her comeback project was the sexy soap Eva Fonda which starred Cristine Reyes.

After that, Hazel has opted to live a simple life outside of the limelight.

To most teens during late 2002, Heart was Berks’ Gwyneth, Javier’s love interest. Although she has been active all through the years as a host, actress, and sometimes as a singer, Heart has recently and incessantly hogged headlines after she got into a relationship with lawmaker Chiz Escudero. The bride-to-be is set to walk down the aisle with her fiance come February next year.

Wazzup and the serye Maid in Heaven in ABS-CBN back in 2004 which starred Cherry Pie Picache, Manilyn Reynes and Assunta de Rossi. She’s no longer part of showbiz and is now based in Australia but still shuttles every now and then to the country. She was seen in Manila a few weeks back when Berks co-star and bride-to-be Heart Evangelista posted a photo announcing Sarah as one of her bridesmaids.

While she has had many memorable roles during her younger years, it’s no doubt that Angelica’s portrayal of Nicole on Berks endeared her to TV audiences. Paired with her former beau Carlo Aquino on the show, Angelica remains as one of ABS-CBN’s most bankable actress to date despite all the controversies that she has faced in the past. She recently promoted her latest Star Cinema film, Beauty In A Bottle, which also starred Assunta De Rossi and Angeline Quinto.

Another PBB housemate has wowed the viewers with her curves. PBB Teen Edition Plus’ “Rebellious Beauty of Dumaguete” charmed viewers with her pretty face and sharp wit, earning her the 4th place of the season. Once on the chubby side, Beauty Gonzalez has now emerged as a hot goddess, named one of FHM’s sexiest and cast as Tilde in the sizzling Moon of Desire. She credits her weight loss to a healthier lifestyle, thanks to many hours spent swimming, running and crossfit training. More than anything, she improved her body for herself, and having the chance to celebrate it on the catwalk was just icing on the cake.

Angeline Quinto, who rose to fame when she won Star Power back in 2011, is another celebrity who has shed the extra pounds. Like many girls, Angeline used to have issues about her body image. She revealed that there was a time that no one would take pictures with her even in mall shows, something that she attributed to her less-than-ideal appearance.

Angeline is one of the few celebs who admit to having undergone cosmetic surgery. She sees it as a practical move, something that is helpful in moving forward in her career. She had her “sad eyes” changed to have a happier vibe, as well as had liposuction done on her back and arms. “Kasi sa TV parati nilang napapansin na mataba akong tignan kahit sa personal naman hindi. Siguro kapag nagpa-lipo ako, mas malaking tulong na mas maganda ang kalabasan ng itsura ko sa telebisyon,” she shared. Not everything is surgically done, though. Her sexier body is more a product of a disciplined lifestyle. She religiously sticks to her diet and does sit-ups. More than anything, Angeline has learned that she can celebrate her beauty on the outside as well as the inside

Not only is Melai a mainstay in the annual Bench fashion show, she has even graced the covers of stylish glossy magazines.

Another PBB teen housemate, Myrtle Sarrosa, has grown up. From being the “Cosplay Cutie ng Iloilo”, the season’s Big Winner was FHM’s November 2014 cover girl. Prior to joining showbiz, she was an active Sangguniang Kabataan leader and an Accounting student in UP. Since she was 14, she has been winning awards for cosplaying, making her no stranger to playing dress up. For three months before her FHM shoot, Myrtle jogged around UP to tone her body. “I want to transition into something sexier, something different, something na aabangan ng tao,” she boldly pronounced.

Yeng Constantino is another celeb who has gone from simple casual to rock star edgy. When she won Pinoy Dream Academy, Yeng just wanted to sing. Having people look at her and comment on her fashion choices was something that she had to slowly get used to. She has since grown comfortable in her own skin and as she discovered more of herself, so did she discover more about who she really wanted to be. Now, Yeng has developed a unique fashion sense that is both stylish and real. Her fashion changes as she reinvents herself, something that she does for herself and for her audience. “I think this is a brand new season for me, this is a season for me as an artist, iba talaga ang season,” says Yeng.

“They will hear something new and see something new. Gusto ko talaga na ayaw kong ma-bore sa sarili ko.”

Wearing a dress and sneakers, Davao del Sur native KZ Tandingan blew the X-Factor mentors away with her unique rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “Ready Or Not.” After winning the reality talent search, KZ’s fashion style has evolved from rugged to edgy classy. KZ often says she’s not the “pa-girl’ type and continuously experiments with her looks with a team of stylists. This year, KZ took home first place interpreting the Himig Handog P-Pop Love Song entry “Mahal Ko o Mahal Ako.”

Kahit parehong unattached at single, hindi na-link sa isa’t isa ang mga bida ng pelikulang English Only Please na kasali sa darating na Metro Manila Film Festival na magsisimula sa Pasko.

Na-maintain ng dalawa na nasa “professional” level lang ang kanilang relasyon. Magkaganun man, kitang-kita ang magandng chemistry ng dalawa sa trailer ng pelikula.

Ano ba ang mga na-discover ni Jen sa kapareho while they are working for English Only Please?

“Si Derek, masayahin pala. pag nakita mo siya sa simula, parang ang suplado, sobrang seryoso, pero masaya naman palang kasama. Mabibiro mo naman pala.

“Tapos pareho kami ng napag-uusapan, pareho kaming mahilig sa sports, mahilig sa pagkain, mga matatamis. Tapos ano pa ba? Napaka-professional niyang katrabaho. Kasi nu’ng time na nagsusyuting kami, alam naman natin na may pinagdadaanan din siya, pero hindi namin siya kinakitaan na parang walang gana o may problema... Very professional siya.

May ugali rin si Derek na gustung-gusto ni Jennylyn.

“He’s very patient. Ang patient niya. Napakabait na tao. Tapos pag may problema ka, patatawanin ka niya. Ichi-cheer-up ka nya. Tatanungin niya kung anong gusto mo... napakabait niya, ” pagde-describe pa niya kay Derek.

Eh, what if ligawan siya ni Derek? Ano ang possibility na ma-inlove siya dito?

“I don’t know!” mabilis niyang sagot. “Hindi natin masasabi kung anong puwedeng mangyari, pero... ah, hindi ko pa po alam, kasi hindi nga po natin alam kung ano ang mangayayari sa future. Ha-ha-ha!

“Pero tuwing nagkikita kami, masaya po kami kasi alam namin yung mga kalokohan namin sa isa’t isa,” natatawa niyang reaksyon.

Inamin din ng aktres na hindi na sila nagdi-date ng non-showbiz suitor na nali-link sa kanya.

“Ah, wala na ‘yon. Sabi ko nga, hindi pa ako ready mag-commit. Marami pa akong iniisip, marami pa akong dapat asikasuhin, marami pa akong mga kailangang gawin and sa ngayon, wala pang oras talaga, eh.”

Halata sa mga pahayag ni Jennylyn na ayaw na muna niyang ma-involve

Coming right on the heels of his announcement that he will be making a movie with Skylight films, Star Cinema’s sister company, Derek Ramsay shared that his contract with his mother network is ending soon.

In an exclusive interview with Derek recently at the blogger’s conference of his upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival entry English Only, Please, he shared that his contract with TV5 will end by March.

“The truth there is the offer has been made. We’re going to sit down and meet. It’s with Skylight so natuwa ako na they called and asked if I would be interested,” he shared about his supposed impending project with Skylight.

When news of his upcoming meeting with Skylight broke out, many thought that Derek was finally patching things up with his former network. But for Derek, there really is no need for him to mend ties with ABS-CBN because, “For me it’s been behind me for the longest time.”

Derek’s controversial transfer happened in 2012 which took its toll on his relationship with ABS-CBN. This was a speculation that was further strengthened by reports that Anne Curtis wasn’t even allowed to mention his name while she was promoting her movie with him on Kapamilya shows.

“I left ABS thinking everything was okay because it was a long process. I went through the proper procedures. I got a very nice letter from the boss saying that he appreciates my honesty, saddened by the decision but you know he said that he hopes that our paths would meet again one day,” he explained. “And maybe this is it. This project with Star Cinema and it could be the start of bigger things.”

He added that, “I have nothing against ABS. I have nothing against Star Cinema.

Tapos na ‘yun eh. Matagal na sakin tapos na ‘yun. So, it’s nice that they made the offer.

Kung matuloy man o hindi masaya na ako na at least tumawag sila para mag-offer kung interesado akong gumawa ng pelikula.”

With his TV contract ending soon enough, does this mean that his fans could see him again as a Kapamilya? “My priority is to see what 5 wants to do with my career. If they no longer need my services then that’s when I’ll open my doors to other things,” he confessed.

According to Derek, he’s currently in negotiations with his current home network which Derek says has been good to him.

“I’m very appreciative of what they’ve done so I have to give them that respect. Just like channel 2, channel 2 did a lot for me. May mga bumps in the road but that’s why it led to certain decisions but you know that’s life, there’s always bumps in the road. I will always be grateful for what Channel 2 has done for me and they’re a big part of who I am, where I am,” he said.

Itinanggi rin ng aktres ang balitang nagkabalikan na sila ng ex-BF na si Dennis Trillo.

“Masama bang maging magkaibigan kami ulit? Siguro naman walang masama do’n di ba? Friendly naman ako, eh. Ha-ha-ha!” biro pa niya.

Naikuwento rin ni Jennylyn na lumalabas sila paminsan-minsan ni Derek pero group date lang daw ‘yon.

“Walang malisya do’n. Saka kasama namin ang grupo, mga taga-production.

Magbi-videoke ang kami, kakain, ganun lang. Walang something,” paglilinaw pa niya.

On a lighter note, masaya ang aktres na finally ay nakagawa na siya ng isang romcom.

“Wala kasi akong ibang ginawa sa mga teleseye ko kundi umiyak, magdrama. Masarap palang gumawa ng romcom. Ganun pala ‘yon, napakasaya kasi uuwi ka sa bahay na hindi mo bitbit yung mga emosyon,” she said.

Despite having been part of at least 18 plays to date, former Star in A Million second runner up OJ Mariano still has qualms about venturing to Broadway or West End. In an exclusive interview with Push.com.ph at the recently-concluded press conference of the rerun of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert musical, he said that he would always prefer to perform in front of his own kababayans.

“Parang I don’t know, I would rather perform for the Filipino audience. It’s a nice feeling.

But I’m not saying yet na if ever something comes along I wouldn’t take it. It’s not in my mind now na venturing into an international arena. Maybe not yes,” he said.

Another reason was OJ’s obvious distrust of his own acting skills. “Kasi feeling ko I’m not there yet. Hindi pa ako international caliber,” OJ explained.

But OJ has nothing against artists like Rachelle Ann Go and Mark Bautista who are both making waves in London. “Hindi naman kasi it’s actually bringing honor rin to the Filipino talent kasi they get recognized as Filipinos for their amazing talent,” he said about the issue whether actors who decide to leave the country for an international production is considered betrayal.

He just reiterated that “It’s just that for me hindi pa eh, kailangan ko pang i-equip ang sarili ko. Hindi ko pa nafe-feel na I’m there yet to present myself to an international audience., Parang if ever I will do that, gusto ko alam ko sa sarili ko ‘Okay this is it, ito ang ma-o-offer sayo ng Filipino talent na full force.’”

OJ’s first foray into the theater happened in 2010 for his first-ever musical Rent. “‘Yun I auditioned for that kasi I was a huge fan of the show and then after that I became part of a DUP [Dulaang UP] production. Siguro I just got so fortunate na lahat ng ino-audition-an ko I get in. So kaya siya nagdere-derecho. It’s a huge, huge blessing na na-welcome ako ng theater industry,” he said.

Doesn’t he miss being part of the mainstream scene? “Not so much kasi sobrang minahal ko kung nasaan ako ngayon and I think it’s more gratifying for me. It’s a personally more gratifying experience, being part of the theater,” OJ noted.

Prior to joining the theater scene, OJ used to be a backup singer and occasional performer in a number of Kapamilya shows.

Whatever success he’s had and whatever lessons he’s learned, OJ attributed to his personal desire to learn about theater and not through a professional training.

“Parang I was shoved into this you know that feeling when you feel that you’re inadequate? So you grab every single information or whatever it is that you can use around you. Ganon ‘yung nangyayari sa akin. I’m like a sponge when I got in. Kaya ang sarap, it’s an experience that rivals nothing else for me,” he said.

Catch OJ in Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, Limited Engagement. It has shows on Friday, December 5 Saturday, December 6 December 7 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, Resorts World Manila.

lla Cruz said that she is very grateful for the massive support that her show Bagito is getting from the televiewers. “Sobrang thankful and sobrang blessed kasi di ko akalain na ganon ‘yung magiging result na sobrang mamahalin siya ng lahat.”

She added that she feels flattered about the positive feedback of her acting in the soap. “Sobrang thank you kasi parang flattered ako kasi hindi ko akalain na positive ang feedback sa akin and sobrang thankful sa lahat ng nagtiwala at nanonood ng Bagito.”

On why she accepted such a mature role, she commented, “In-embrace ko hindi dahil mature siya at daring siya kundi dahil very challenging siya, siguro ‘yon ‘yung dahilan kung bakit sobrang willing ako na gawin ‘yung character ko as Vanessa.”

The young actress admitted that it was tough playing her character. “Medyo kasi ‘yung pagbubuntis, panganganak, ‘yung pag-aalaga sa baby siyempre hindi ko pa ‘yun napagdadaanan. Medyo mahirap pa i-adjust kasi ‘yung mga nangyayari sa akin don hindi talaga nangyayari in real life so kailangan ng isang malaking adjustment sa isang challenging role na ‘yun para magawa ko ng maayos.”

Ella was all praises for Nash Aguas as her co-star in Bagito. She said that it was easy working with the young actor especially during their heavy drama scenes.

“Ang dali [niya katrabaho] sobra kasi hindi mahirap siya ka-eksena kasi magaling din siya at lahat nong mabibigat na eksena nagiging madali kasi hindi paulit-ulit, kasi nga magaling siya. Mas mabalis ‘yung work namin at mas nararamdaman ko ‘yung character ko at ‘yung character niya, kumbaga, nagsasaluhan talaga kami.”

On what she has learned from the soap, Ella shared, “Ano siguro ‘yung magkakamali ka lang sa buhay apektado na lahat ‘yung future mo, ‘yung mga taong nakapaligid sa’yo. Basta lahat-lahat isang pagkakamali mo lang apektado na lahat.”

ith the positive reception from audiences of her new series Bagito, Alexa Ilacad admitted she did not know exactly how people would react to their show. “Super happy na super nervous din kasi nakikita namin sa tweets ng mga tao na natuwa sila pero hindi naman lahat may Twitter and gusto rin naman namin makita kung anong tingin ng mga adults sa show namin. Pero hindi rin naman nila puwede i-judge kaagad kasi first few weeks pa lang. Umaasa kami na patuloy nilang panuorin yung Bagito. Ikasasaya namin yun dahil feeling namin ito na yung katas ng lahat ng hard work namin and we think it’s paying off naman, sobrang worth it naman lahat ng tears na nagamit dito,” she told Push.com.ph With her love team with Nash Aguas NLex continuously gaining a big fan following, the 14-year-old actress said she is thankful to all their followers. “Siguro may nakita silang spark or something somewhere there (laughs).

Siguro nakita nila na medyo cute kami together, nag-ko-compliment kami sa isa’t isa, na bagay kami, pag umarte kami mas bagay kami tingnan. Actually off-cam mas makulit kami off-cam kasi pag kaharap ang mga tao mas kailangan behaved, baka may masabi sila, ganyan (laughs),” she admitted.

It was six years ago when she became part of a kiddie show that Alexa saw Nash up close. “First time na nakita ko siya, kasi before bata pa lang ako, minsan lang ako makanuod ng Goin’ Bulilit. So nung nalaman ko na papasok ako sa show na yun nung natanggap ako siyempre mas nanuod ako kasi gusto ko makita kung sino ba yung mga tao dun. Nung nakita ko siya, naalala ko pa parang taping nila tapos yung set nila parang Indiana Jones. Sabi ko, ‘Ah eto pala ang itsura ni Nash,’ eight years old pa lang ako nun so wala pa akong crush or anything.’ Ang kulit kulit nila ni Kobi (Vidanes). Sabi ko sa sarili ko, ‘Ang ingay naman nitoong batang ito!’ pero sa isip ko, dahil eight lang ako nun ang sabi ko, ‘Oh my gosh he’s so noisy naman! (laughs)’” she recalled.

Now that they have become closer, the two have been vocal about how well they get along, with Nash even saying he liked Alexa because she was “jologs.” The pretty mestiza explained why that is how her co-star would describe her.

“Kasi before super hindi ako nag-ta-Tagalog talaga. Sobrang English lang. Nag-workshop pa ako for three months para mkapag-Tagalog and hindi pa rin ako fluent. Sabi ko pa, ‘Direk, what’s like that?’ Kasi before wala pa akong best friend talaga sa Goin’ Bulilit tapos nung naging close kami niyan, lagi niya akong sinasabihan na, ‘Ang arte mo naman!’ kasi kunwari may ipis sasabihin ko, ‘Oh my god, there’s ipis!’ kaya naartehan siya sa akin lagi. Tapos ayun nung sobrang fluent na ako mag-Tagalog okay na. Kaya niya ako sinabihan ng ganun siguro dahil kalog ako, ako na ng-push (laughs),” she said. ven though she admits she is still too young to be thinking about relationships, the Bagito star admitted she does admire Nash because of one standout quality. “Very respectful siya, hindi lang naman sa akin pero sa lahat talaga ng tao. Respectful siya lalo na sa mga girls. Mas napapansin ko kasi siya lagi kong kasama, kabisado ko na lahat nang attitude niya. Siya talaga best friend ko.

Nakikita ko sa kanya yung respeto niya sa mommy niya, sa lola niya, and kung paano niya alagaan yung baby sister niya. Sobrang sarap tingnan kasi. Yung gaano niya ako respetuhin na kahit magkagalit kami, kahit ako ang may kasalanan, mag-so-sorry ako.

Mga kung anu-ano lang. Mabilis kami magtampuhan eh, tapos magkakapikunan na kami pero magbabati din naman agad. Parang sorry na tapos kahit minsan ako may kasalanan hindi ko siya papansinin (laughs) pero siya yung, ‘O sorry na ha!

Kasalanan ko eh!’ tapos bati na kami (laughs),” she admitted.

During the recent blogger’s night for the MMFF film entry My Big Bossing, Vic Sotto was all praises for child actress Ryzza Mae Dizon, whom he actually credits for coming up with the idea of one of the episodes in the movie trilogy while taping for one of their regular TV shows. “Dun sa episode ng Sirena, kung tutuusin siya sumulat nung script na yun eh. Dun sa isang show namin tinanong niya si Bibeth Orteza, ‘Direk puwede ba ako maging sirena?’ Gusto kasi niya maging sirena, isa sa mga pantasya niya yun. Eh mukha namang butanding paano mangyayari? (laughs). So tinanong siya ano ng gagawin pag naging sirena siya? Sabi niya, ‘Dun lang ako sa kuwarto, itatago ako ni tito Vic dun. Kung dito lang ako sa kuwarto madali ang shooting.’

Gagawin na sana ni direk Bibeth pero sabi ko huwag na, i-save na lang natin for a bigger one. I-develop na lang natin para full-blown pelikula na. So pati yung mga eksena dun, yung mga sitwasyon, karamihan galing sa kanya. Titingnan tingnan mo lang malakas din ang tama eh (laughs). She’s very creative,” he said.

The movie also marks the big screen debut of Alonzo Muhlach, son of former child star Niño Muhlach, who is also part of My Big Bossing.

Vic says it wasn’t a hard decision to cast the four-year-old as talent obviously runs in the family. “We needed a prince and tamang tama nabanggit sa akin na lumabas siya sa TV tapos ayun nagpasikat na, kung anu-ano ginawa. Tumula, kumanta, sumayaw, kumain ng apoy, lumunok ng bubog (laughs). Ayos ito kako. Okay. Pinaalam na namin kagad kay Nino at salamat naman ipinagkatiwala niya sa amin si Alonzo. Parang Niñong-Nino na siya sa acting. Magaling siya. Aside from the fact that he’s cute and very charismatic, magaling sumayaw yan. Palagi kaming nagbibiruan ni Alonzo, ganyan ang laro namin,” he shared.

The My Big Bossing star said he did not originally intend to make the movie a trilogy with episodes entitled Sirena, Taktak, and Prinsesa.

His past MMFF films Enteng Kabisote and My Little Bossing were already a success in the box-office following a single storyline. “Nung una nga parang gusto ko gawin yung Sirena lang pero nagbabago pa isip ko. Gusto namin gawin yung pagka-horror na pangbata. Walang gumagawa ng horror na pangbata eh. Tapos meron naman nagsuggest na gawin namin fantasy, yung may prinsesa para mala-Frozen.

So naisip na mabuti pang gawing tatlo. Ganun nagsimula yun.

Akala ko madali (laughs). Pero aaminin ko mahirap. It was very challenging especially for this kid kasi mas iba iba yung role niya dun eh. May sirena, she had to undergo scuba diving lessons, mga swimming techniques. Karamihan ng eksena sa tubig siya. Makikita mo naman sa bilbil eh, pag walang bilbil hindi siya yun (laughs). Tapos yung sa horror may pagka-Himala yung peg niya dun eh, to wear a wig na mahaba buhok, mala-ate Guy ang dating tapos naka-harness siya dun and all that stuff. It was very challenging for her and I am proud to say she was able to deliver. And hindi lang basta basta deliver kundi todo delivery. Magaling,” he further commented.

Just like his past movies, the talented comedian said My Big Bossing is a movie with a whole lot of heart. “Ang kaibahan nito, kung last year little lang yun ito big na eh. So alam mo na (laughs). Eh talagang big, big in production, big in budget, big in casting kasi bawat episode may sarili siyang cast. At hindi mo matatawaran yung cast naman. Aside from the big budget, it’s also big in story. It’s not just an ordinary patawa film, madaming patawa kasi importante naman yun. Kailangan tumawa tayo lalo na pag pasko. What I am so proud about with this trilogy is the heartwarming factor of the stories. Habang tumatagal, yung sirena talagang pakuwela, may konting kurot. Pagdating nung gitna, sa episode na Taktak, medyo umaatake na yung human interest ng tatay sa anak. Pagdating nung Prinsesa, ayun na naka-todo na yung heartwarming qualities niya. Kasi siya lumaki siya sa babuyan eh.

Paniwala niya sa sarili niya baboy siya eh. Although hindi naman siya mukhang baboy. But she turns out to be a princess after all. Maganda yung story. So ang kaibahan from last year malaking malaki, pati yung mga Enteng Kabisote series ko malaki pagkakaiba dito,” he shares.

In terms of budget, My Big Bossing is also a product Vic said they have really invested in for the MMFF. It also boasts of three of the country’s biggest directors Tony Y. Reyes, Marlon N. Rivera and Bb. Joyce Bernal and is the the collaboration of three of the country’s biggest film production outfits: Octoarts Films, M-Zet TV Production and APT Entertainment. “Ang budget nito times three. Para kaming gumawa ng tatlong pelikula eh. The running time maybe 30 to 40 minutes per episode pero yung budget niya wala sa running time eh. Makikita mo sa production design. For example yung bahay ni Ryzza na makikita niyo dun sa Taktak, walang bahay dun. Pinagawa lang ni direk Marlon Rivera yun sa ibabaw ng bundok. Nag-construct kami ng bahay tapos yung mga mala-palasyo, makikita mo sa production design. Sa Sirena episode naman mga underwater scenes, yung mga costume namin ni Ryzza. Mga budget namin dati is ganito eh times three ito yun kasi times three din yung set ng directors, staff and cast. Pero after seeing the finished product, sulit na sulit ito. Hindi ako mapapahiya. Hindi kami mapapahiya lalo na sa mga magbabayad para manuod ng sine.”

nding months of speculations, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla will officially be reprising the roles of Yna and Angelo, respectively in the remake of the hit soap Pangako Sa'Yo next year.

The teaser of the remake which was first shown at the Kapamilya Thank You Trade Event, Kathniel was seen running in a field, a scene popularized by the original Yna and Angelo, Kristine Hermosa and Jericho Rosales.

After the formal announcement that he would be headlining the Pangako Sa ‘Yo remake next year, Daniel Padilla could not contain his happiness at now finally being able to share the good news with his fans and supporters of his loveteam with Kathryn Bernardo. Despite being

Meanwhile, fresh from the success of the daytime serye Be Careful With My Heart, Jodi Sta. Maria will give life to Yna's mother Amor Powers, formerly played by Eula Valdez. While Angelica Panganiban will take on the role of Claudia Buenavista, Angelo's mother, then played by Jean Garcia.

The remake will be directed by one of the teleserye's original directors, Rory Quintos, under the Star Creatives team which handled other top-rating soaps like Got To Believe, Princess and I, The Legal Wife, and currently constantly asked by the press about the project, both DJ and Kath could not yet confirm their involvement until the Pangako Sa ‘Yo trailer was formally presented at the Kapamilya Thank You trade launch held last December 2 at the World Trade Center in Pasay city.

DJ, who performed during the event with Kath says he is excited to portray the role of Angelo, who was originally played by Jericho Rosales when the show first aired in 2000.

“Parang kinikilabutan ako. Kasi siyempre Pangako Sa ‘Yo yun mismo eh. Parang naisip ko, ‘Oh my god, heto na nga yun,’” he admits.

The teen heartthrob says that despite recent controversies, he and Kath are also in a good place right now professionally and personally.

“Happy naman. Basta happy lang kami,” he adds.

Even when most people speculated that DJ’s recent issues would cause a rift in their

airing on primetime, Forevermore.

The original soap was first aired in 2000 until 2002 and was translated in many languages and aired in over 20 countries.

It may be recalled that early last month, Jericho expressed approval of Kathniel's potential casting as Yna and Angelo. owever, he denied that he would be part of the remake despite getting an offer for a role.

relationship as “mag-M.U,” Kath has always been quick to defend and show support for him. Now that they will beworking very closely again, she says she is looking forward when they finally start taping regularly after the holiday season. “Hindi ko ma-explain pero nakakatuwa. Masaya rin kami na nakita na namin yung trailer,” she admits.

The 18-year-old actress also admits she is still feeling the pressure of having to fill in the shoes of Kristine Hermosa, who first played the role of the headstrong Yna in the new soap.

“Nakakapanibago nung una. Parang ako hindi ako sanay sa ganun pero nakakatuwa pag nakita mo na yung outcome. Worth it lahat yun pero marami pa akong kailangan pag-aralan at kailangan gawin kasi first time ko na ganito ka-seryoso, na mas mature. So marami pa akong gagawin,” she says.

Sa Aquino and Abunda Tonight, masaya si Vina Morales na siya muli ang napili para kantahin ang Pangako Sa’yo theme song para sa remake ng same titled serye na eere na sa Kapamilya Primetime ngayong 2015. Si Vina rin ang kumanta ng theme song ng Pangako Sa’yo 15 years ago starring Kristine Hermosa and Jericho Rosales. Nakausap diumano niya si Direk Rory Quintos at sinabi nito na “timeless” ang kanyang boses kaya siya muli ang napiling kumanta ng theme song.

Patungkol naman sa kanyang buhay pag-ibig, nagde-date diumano si Vina pero “hindi pa seryoso.” Mahirap daw kasi “magseryoso nang hindi pa sure” lalo na’t nasa edad na siya na dapat seryosong relationship na ang hinahanap. Gusto na rin daw magka-sister ng kanyang anak na si Ceana.

Kasama rin si Vina sa Metro Manila Film Fest entry na Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo at sinabi niya na contemporary Filipino ang ginamit nilang language ng pelikula para maintindihan ito ng mga manonood. Isang Filipino-American na based in Los Angeles ang nag-direk ng naturang pelikula. Balik tambalan din sila sa pelikulang ito ni Robin Padilla na gaganap bilang Andres Bonifacio.

After an almost month-long trip abroad for The Filipino Channel (TFC), Kathryn Bernardo admitted she and Daniel Padilla couldn’t wait to get back home. “Gusto na rin namin umuwi. Parang nung two weeks pa lang uwing uwi na kami kasi parang hindi rin namin makita ang sarili namin na wala sa Philippines tapos ma-mi-miss mo siyempre yung trabaho tapos ma-mi-miss mo yung mga kaibigan mo, ganyan. Pero at least nung nag-bakasyon slash work ako dun very refreshing so ready na ulit ako magtrabaho kasi nagkaroon na ako ng enough rest,” she shared.

During their US trip, Kath admitted she has gotten to know DJ more. “Lahat naman pag nag-ta-travel daw mas nakikilala mo yung tao? Mas makikilala mo kung ano yung peronality niya and ilang beses ko na nakasama si DJ kaya kilalang kilala ko na siya. Ang most memorable moment siguro namin dun nung nanuod kami ng Ellen show yun yung unforgettable tapos nung nagpunta kami ng San Francisco tapos first time namin pumunta ng LA, marami kaming first time na ginawa namin together,” she recalled.

For the upcoming holidays, Kath said she and her love team partner plan to celebrate like any typical Pinoy family. “Gusto namin mag-exchange gift, kaming magkakabarkada tapos gusto namin after nila mag-Noche Buena with the family punta na lang sila sa house, ganyan. Pero wala pang final plans so far. Dito lang kami sa Philippines kasi for New Year aalis kami for a show naman so pag Christmas dito lang. Hindi ko pa alam yung plano (if DJ’s family will also visit to spend Noche Buena with them). Sabi niya pupunta siya,” she revealed.

The 18-year-old actress said she likes to give her gifts a very personal touch. “Sa gifts gusto ko ako personally nagbibigay ng gift kahit sa birthday or any occasion gusto ko ako mismo yung bibili. Or kung wala akong time, ibibigay ko yung gusto tapos sila na lang uyng bibili for me. Alam mo kasi yung personality ng bibigyan mo eh so I want na ako talaga. Gusto

ko terno terno kami sa Christmas ganyan ganyan, maybe itong year din na ito,” she explained With a few weeks to go before Christmas, Kath said she already has an idea of what to give her love team partner.

“Pinagpipilian ko pa pero music-related for sure. Siguro o-orderin na lang kung meron man. Wala kaming nabili dun kasi siyempre gusto namin surprise kung may ibibigay ka eh kasama mo siya so hindi na surprise. Hindi ko pa sure kung yun ang nasa isip ko pero nag-iisip pa ako. Open pa ako sa mga maririnig ko, mag-sa-spy muna ako (laughs). Basta music-related siguro,” she said.

When it comes to receiving gifts, Kath said she does not want to be materialistic. “Siguro gusto ko lang yung non-material gusto ko good health, ayoko magkasakit. Kahit puyat at pagod sana healthy lang lahat and sa material anything, hindi naman ako particular sa kung ano man ibigay sa akin,” she added.

After being blessed with continuously successful projects since first being paired together in Growing Up, Kath said she is proud of their love team Kathniel but is also aware that things will eventually change. “Wala naman atang love team na forever. Parang kahit ayaw mo na maka-love team na iba or kasi hindi ka sanay, kailangan talaga yun so ayaw lang muna namin isipin ngayon basta masaya kami ngayon. Kahit ayaw namin siyempre hindi naman yun puwede. Ayaw muna namin isipin kasi nakakalungkot pag nakasama mo na kasi for almost three years na tapos iba bigla yung kasama mo.

Well okay naman yun kasi ayoko naman na maging selfish sa kanya, puwede rin siya i-love team sa iba pero iba lang talaga pag comfortable kayo sa isa’t isa,” she said.

Opting to always keep a positive outlook, Kath said that Kathniel fans have a lot to be happy about next year. “May mga aabangan sila for 2015 pero hindi ko pa puwede sabihin pero marami kaming surprise sa inyo and magsisimula na kami!” she shared.

Sa muling pagkapanalo ni Coco Martin sa katatapos nga 28th PMPC Star Awards noong Linggo bilang Best Drama Actor para sa serye niyang Ikaw Lamang, ibinahagi niya ang kanyang nararamdaman. “Nakakataba ng puso kasi sobrang pinaghirapan po talaga namin yung ginawa namin.”

Dagdag pa ni Coco kinakabahan pa rin siya sa tuwing tatanggap siya ng parangal sa kanyang pag-arte kahit namarami na siyang nakuhang pagkilala sa pagiging magaling na actor, “Opo, lagi naman. Sabi ko nga, ito yung bunga ng lahat ng pagod naman sa isang taon.”

Sa ngayon ay nakatuon ang buong atensyon ni Coco sa pagtapos ng pelikula nila ni Kris Aquino Feng Shui 2 para sa Metro Manila Film Festival at nang kamustahin siya dito, “Maganda lalo na nag-dub na ako… ng trailer namin. Nakakatuwa kasi first time naming makatrabaho si Direk Chito (Roño) tapos ngayon nagkatrabaho kami ni Ate Kris sa movie. Nakakatuwa kasi yung suporta na binibigay nila sa akin.”

Ayon kay Coco, isang masayang karanasan ang makatrabaho ang Queen Of All Media sa isang pelikula. Aniya, “Masaya, nakakatuwa kasi maraming magagandang advice ang itinuturo niya sa akin lalung-lalo na sa business, sa personal na buhay, napakarami kong natutunan sa kanya.”

Aminado din si Coco na may kaunting pagbabago sa kung paano niya ipagdiriwang ang Pasko ngayong taon dahil sa pagiging abala sa kanilang pelikula. “Oo actually pagakatapos na pagkatapos kp mag-taping ng soap opera na Ikaw Lamang tumalon ako sa shooting pero masaya kasi para sa kain blessing naman ang lahat ng ito.”

Ngunit wala man masayadong pahinga at dirediretso ang pagsabak sa trabaho, masaya si Coco sa lahat ng nangyayari sa kanya. “Sabi ko naman ito naman talaga yung ginusto ko kasi sabi ko nga napakatagal din naman ng panahon na naghintay ako, naranasan ko na matagal na walang trabaho. Kaya ang mga ganito, yung mga blessing na dumarating sa akin ayaw ko na po palamapasin.”

Hindi rin naman itinago ni Coco sa pressure na kanyang nararamdaman sa kanyang pinakabagong pelikula lalo pa at ang orihinal na Feng Shui ay tumabo ng napakalaki sa takilya. “Siyempre hindi naman po maalis sa amin yun. Kaya ko nirequest kay Ate Kris at hindi ako nakapagpigil sa kanya kasi sabi ko nga hindi ko makakalimutan nung pinanood ko yung Feng Shui 1 kung gaano siya kaganda kaya sabi ko sa kanya nung nagkita kami, sabi ko, ‘Ate Kris, gawin naman natin yung Feng Shui 2, then kinausap niya si Direk Chito kaya natupad itong pangarap kong gawing pelikula at Feng Shui pa.”

Sa pagkapanalo niya bilang Pinakamahusay na Aktor para sa serye niyang Ikaw Lamang, hinhangad din niya bang masungkit ang Best Actor sa MMFF para sa Feng Shui 2? “Hindi, hindi naman. Actually hindi ko na naiisip yun, iniisip ko na lang na every time na nananalo ako bonus na lang yun.”

Jamie Rivera says she applied to do the official song of Pope Francis’ Papal visit next year Dumaan pa pala sa ‘audition’ si Jamie Rivera bago napili ang kanta niya para gawing theme song ng Papal visit ni Pope Francis sa bansa on January of 2015.

Bukod sa We Are All God’s Children na nasa Papal visit album, may tatlo pang kanta dito si Jamie -- ang Our Dearest Pope, The Mission at Papa Francisco, Mabuhay Ka!

Hindi nahiyang inamin ng singer sa album launch ng We Are All God’s Children ng Star Music na nagprisenta siya at tinawagan pa ang ibang mga taong involved sa pagdating ni Pope Francis para sabihing interesado siyang gumawa ng kanta para sa naturang event.

Nag-share din ng kanilang talent sa album sina Jed Madela at Angeline Quinto (On Eagles Wings), Liezel Garcia (Anima Christi), Janella Salvador (Give Thanks), Fatima Soriano (Lift Up Your Hand), Aiza Seguera (Lead Me Lord), Erik Santos (Lord, I Offer My Life To You), Juris and Robert Sena (One More Gift) at Morisette Amon (Take and Receive).

“Actually, ako po ay nagprisenta, nu’ng malaman namin na Pope Francis will be arriving on January, I contacted Arch Vishop Soc Villegas and I asked if I can officially write the song for Pope, and he said you can write the song, you can give it to me, pero hindi ibig sabihin non, eh, ako na. Kailangan pa raw i-approve yon ng Vatican at ng committee na naka-assign para sa Papal visit.

“Hindi ko po alam kung may nag-submit na iba. Hindi ko po alam kung ano yung naging proseso, but ako po yung nag-apply. Nagbigay din po kami ng action video then after ilang weeks, tumawag na po si Arch Vishop Soc Villegas na it’s official, na ako na raw po yung gagawa ng kanta para sa Papal visit,” dagdag pahayag pa ng singer.

Ang kantang binabanggit ni Jamie na nagustuhan ng Vatican at ng CBCP ay ang We Are All God’s Children na siya mismo ang lumikha at kumanta.

“After two weeks of writing, of researching and reading and praying nabuo ko po yung kanta, I finished the song then nilagyan na po ng choreography,” patuloy pa ni Jamie.

Nai-share din ni Jamie na naging inspirasyon niya sa pagsulat ng kanta ang mga batang namamalimos sa kanya habang papunta siyang Greenhills at ang mga nakita niyang tao na natutulog sa gilid ng kalye.

Wini-wish ni Jamie na mapasama siya sa napakalaking misa ni Pope Francis sa Quirino Grand Stand.

“May invivation na ako pero sa SM Moa Arena pa lang at sa UST. Pero gusto ko rin sanang makakanta do’n sa Luneta kasi yon yung parang big event talaga...

“Nung makita ko nga yung standy ni Papa, kinabahan na ako. Hindi ko alam ang magiging reaksyon ko kapag nakita ko na siya in person.”

Hindi naman maiwasang makatanggap si Jamie ng pintas mula sa bashers sa social media dahil sa ginawa niyang kanta “They are telling me to change the lyrics, change the words daw, kasi hindi raw biblical, ganun. Sabi ko, kailangan bang ganu’n? Kasi di ba we are all God’s children, pero bakit may isyu pang ganu’n,” paliwanag pa niya.

Magkaganun man, masaya ang singer na magiging bahagi siya ng isa sa pinakamalaking event sa Catholic religion.

“I am humbled by this experience. I felt so blessed na ang kanta ko ang gagamin kaya sobra akong nagpapasalamat kay Lord,” huling pahayag ni Jamie.

AIKO MELENDEZ CORRECTS RUMORS ABOUT SUPPOSED YOUNGER BOYFRIEND

Contrary to speculations that spread recently, Aiko Melendez is still very much single and ready to mingle.

Aiko has been the subject of the rumor mill lately when photos of her with her supposed new boyfriend circulated online.

The said man in the photo was identified as Michael Pate a basketball varsity player in his early 20s who is formerly part of the DLSU-CSB Blazer and is now part of the NU Bulldogs.

During her live appearance on The Buzz’s Sunday episode, Aiko clarified that she and Michael are just friends.

“I don’t know pero panget naman na it would come from me.

Probably siguro he just has a crush on me. Yeah barkada ito.

Barkada namin nila Edwin Tan. So we just hang out as a group,” she explained.

But how about his “true love” post?

“Ewan ko sa kanya bakit siya nag-post ng ganyan,” she said with a laugh.

The Give Love on Christmas star though didn’t deny the fact that Michael was very vocal about his admiration for her.

“Sinasabi lang niya na humahanga siya sa akin,” she said.

“Hindi naman direcho na humahanga ako parang ‘I admire you’ ‘You look good today.’”

However, for her, Michael is not formally courting her. While she’s sometimes “kinikilig” about the things that he tells her, she reiterated that “he’s just too young.”

Aiko thinks that the fact that she’s been single for the past five years is the reason why “anybody na matabi sakin [nali-link].”

Meanwhile, in recent interviews, Aiko coyly shared that she’s

recently trying to broker a deal with her ex-husband Jomari Yllana.

According to Aiko, since she’s tyrning 39 soon, she hopes to have another child to add to her two more kids with Jomari.

Without wanting to have to be with another guy, Aiko says she asked Jomari if he would agree to have another child with her but she shared that he only laughed at her idea.

During her live appearance though, Aiko revealed that she has had a change of heart.

“But I take it back. Parang two nights ago nagdasal ako parang ‘wag nalang. I’m content with my two kids. Tsaka I have a boy and girl so okay nako,” she said.

However she stressed that she and her Dada are very much okay and that she doesn’t want to rock the boat.

“We’re okay. Jom and I are best of friends. Siguro if we go further than that it will complicate things. We’re better off as friends. Kasi kung we’re more than friends, masisira lang whatever we have right now,” Aiko explained.

CARLA ABELLANA DENIES HER FATHER PJ ABELLANA DISAPPROVES OF TOM RODRIGUEZ Carla Abellana finally sets the record straight about the rumors surrounding her new flame, former Pinoy Big Brother housemate Tom Rodriguez.

One of the issues that was being linked to Tom was that Carla’s father, veteran actor Rey “PJ” Abellana, does not approve of him after supposedly seeing him throw a fit on the set of a game show.

“There’s really no truth behind it. Si Tom pa, napakabait na tao. It was a daily game show, hindi ko alam kung saan nanggagaling ‘yun,” she said during her live appearance on The Buzz on Sunday.

The Shake Rattle and Roll XV star even added, “In fact, nung araw ng taping, ang sama ng pakiramdam niya that he had to go to the hospital to have himself checked. Ang taas ng blood pressure niya. Siguro dahil sa stress. Bumalik pa nga siya ng taping from the hospital kasi nahiya siya sa production. I don’t January 2015

think somebody na masama na nga ang pakiramdam, siya pa ‘yung mananakit ng tao or magdadabog or something.”

If anything, Carla claimed that her father is ecstatic to meet Tom in person.

“Nakilala lang niya si Tom for the first time, on TV pa. So walang chance na off cam. Looking forward siya na makilala pa si Tom better,” she said.

Since photos of them going out together has spread online, many netizens presumed that they are now officially a couple.

Something which Carla clarified saying that, “We are dating, aaminin namin ‘yun. Lalo na ngayon na mas may free time kami. Walang time outside of work. Pero kahit paano naman, ngayon may time. We are dating just each other.”

Sa poster, kitang-kita kung gaano kalaki ang mukha niya compare sa ibang cast ng pelikula. #Y is under the direction of Gino Santos at kasama ni Elmo sa pelikula sina Sophie Albert, Kit Thomson, Slater Young, Chynna Ortaleza at Coleen Garcia.

The movie will take a peek into the lives of upper class, modern day youths pero kahit sinong kabataan ay pwede raw maka-relate sa pelikula.

“Same emotions lang naman ang ipinapakita ng tao whether you’re mayaman or mahirap. My character in the movie is Miles, a young man who is seriously contemplating suicide,” Elmo said during the presscon.

Hindi nagkaroon ng second thought si Elmo accepting the role kahit na medyo complex ito at parang laging nawawala sa sarili ang kanyang character.

“Yung character ko kasi sa movie, parang naka-relate ako sa kanya being a loner and parang slightly experiencing things like that din. Si Mike kasi, nagkukuwento siya sa mga friends niya, pero actually hindi siya nakaka-relate sa mga sinasabi nila... Parang magulo siyang mag-isip.

“Tapos nu’ng time ng mismong shoot, para maibigay ko yung right emotions, I tried to avoid them (the cast) talaga, ina-isolate ko yung sarili ko sa kanila, inisip ko na mag-isa lang ako, na may sariling mundo,” kuwento ng binata.

Ayon kay Elmo, nagandahan siya sa istsorya ng #Y at nagalingan siya sa direktor nito kahit baguhan pa lang kaya niya tinanggap ang movie.

“The experience was really light for me doing this film. Si Direk Gino kasi, alam na alam nya yung direksyon ng movie, alam na alam nya yung gusto niya#Y ang gawin, yung the whole scope, idea and yon yung nagustuhan ko. Nung napanood ko yung film, super-sakto siya kung paano niya kinuwento sa amin...

“The first reason naman kung bakit ko in-accept yung film is yung istorya talaga and yung role. I’m so happy naman na ganun yung outcome ng buong film,” kuwento pa niya.

Hindi naman naiwasang tanungin si Elmo kung anong pakiramdam niya na nakatuntong na rin siya finally sa bakuran ng ABS-CBN kung saan ginanap ang presscon ng #Y? “Wala, teritryo ng ate (Maxene Magalona), eh... (laughs). No, but I’m reallly happy na Star Cinema got this film and pinayagan naman kami ng network namin to be a part of this... And I’m happy for that.”

Hindi ba siya naiinggit sa paglipat ng Ate Maxene niya sa ABS-CBN? Napangiti lang si Elmo sa tanong sabay sabing “I’m happy for her.”

Kumusta naman ang experience niya na makatrabaho ang Kapamilya at Kapatid stars?

“Masarap na meron kang iba-ibang nakakatrabaho. You learn from them, bagong experience, eh... Happy ako to be working with Coleen, Slater (ABS-CBN) and Sophie (TV5),” short answer ng binata.

Regarding her relationship with reel and real partner Janine Gutierrez, okey naman daw ang lahat.

“Yeah, we’re very much okey. Busy sa trabaho, busy sa taping ng show namin, but we both manage to spend time together kapag wala kaming ginagawa,” masaya niyang pahayag.

Biggest break so far para sa host ng It’s Showtime na si Coleen Garcia ang role niya sa pelikulang #Y na idinirek ni Gino Santos who happens to be her kababata. Kasama rin ni Coleen sa pelikula sina Elmo Magalona at Chynna Ortaleza ng GMA-7, Sophie Albert ng TV5 at kapwa niya Kapamilya stars na sina Kit Thomson at Slater Young.

Ang Star Cinema ang magri-release ng #Y at ipapalabas na ito sa Dec. 10.

“Bold” and daring ang role ni Coleen sa pelikula pero hindi raw siya nagkaroon ng hesitation na tanggapin ang project. Naikuwento ng dalaga how she prepares for her role.

“Nakatulong yung mga script reading namin, I had time to really prepare for the character, and yung film kasi namin, it’s really about being natural with what we are doing.

“Wala namang restrictions sa part ng Star Magic, tinanong nila ako kung ‘are you willing to do that?’ Ako kasi, sa akin if the scene is necessary for a project, gagawin ko, pero kung hindi naman kailangan, then hindi ko gagawin.

“But there are things here na first time kong ginawa and sa tingin ko nakatulong talaga sa pagportray ng character ko,” pahayag ni Coleen.

Paano ba nag-react ang boyfriend niyang si Billy Crawford sa role niya sa #Y? “Actually, nanibago siya,” pag-amin agad ni Coleen.

“Nung una, nabasa niya yung script, tapos sabi niya, ‘Ha, are you sure you’re willing to do that, parang hindi ako sanay na ganyang yung role mo, tapos after naman the film, masaya siya. Siya yung first to congratulate me and he was the first to let me know how I did, and he’s very honest so I trust his opinion,” she said.

Inamin din ng dalaga na nahiya siyang hingin ang opinion ng boyfriend on how to execute her role in the movie.

“Nahihiya ako, eh. Pag si Billy nahihiya na ako. I don’t ask for advice. Saka mas generation ko ‘yon, eh (laughs). Iba yung

generation ni Billy.

“Sa movie kasi, yung character ko, may mga ginagwa siya na never ko pang ginawa before, so I asked the people who do it. Di ba, ‘yon lang ‘yon,” natatawa niyang kuwento.

Idinagdag din ni Coleen na inobserbahan din daw niya ang mga tao around her circle para mas maintindihan ang kanyang role.

Eh, ang parents niya, paano nag-react sa role niya?

“My parents are very conservative, my dad especially, so I was really worried... I was looking at my dad the whole time we’re watching the film, and then quiet lang siya. I got scared, and then, at the end of it, he congratulated me and he told me na we did a really good job.

“He mentioned all of the stuff na talagang natuwa siya. So, if somebody of his age can enjoy the film, parang nakampante tuloy ako, na if my dad can enjoy it, i ma-enjoy ng ibang parents,” she said.

Ipinagmalaki ng aktres-tv host na after #Y ay napansin ng ABS-CBN management ang kanyang kakayahan bilang aktres. Kasama siya sa seksing teleseyeng Pasion de Amor at may pelikula ring gagawin sa Star Cinema with Sam Milby and Meg Imperial.

Kim admitted she has only one ex-boyfriend, referring to her relationship with Gerald Anderson. and that she is friends with the actor. When host Kris Aquino asked her if there was any awkwardness between them in their last TV commercial together, Kim said, “Hindi na awkward sa kape. Wala naman nang feelings involved. It’s just work.”

Xian also answered yes to the question, but did not elaborate further. When Kris referred to a certain exgirlfriend of his, the actor said as far as he knows they are friends.

Kim wants to have a lot of kids, while Xian explained he wanted to have only one as he fears not being able to provide all of his family’s needs.

After evading questions if they have said ‘I love you’ to each other and what are their terms of endearment, Kris and guest co-host Carmina Villaroel were touched when Xian shared that Kim was the first person he took for a ride in his new Porsche, the car which he acquired after buying his new home. “Jinojoke ko kasi siya sabi ko, balang araw, magkakaroon din ako ng sports car. Maisasakay din kita sa sports car, this was back in Binondo Girl.” He further related that he used to ride with Kim before in her Nissan. “So sabi ko dati, balang araw, isasakay din kita… ipagda-drive kita sa ano,” he said. Kim also recalled that day saying she was surprised when Xian picked her up in a sports car at her magazine shoot.

The question and answer portion also revealed that both of them are the jealous type and would rather spend time at home than partying. Kim and Xian also said they have remained very good friends because they have similar interests and they understand each other’s personality.

Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago recently launched her book titled Stupid Is Forever and held a book-signing event at National Book Store in Trinoma last Wednesday where thousands of fans flocked to the venue.

Stupid is Forever is a compilation of her popular oneliners, pick-up lines, jokes, speeches, and comebacks. The senator shared that she came up with the book because she believes the Filipinos relate well with sense of humor.

"I came up with this collection of jokes because sometimes we are being too serious about the issues facing our country today. I think if we laughed more, and took ourselves less seriously, the public debate would be much better,” she said.

The feisty senator admitted that she was surprised by the massive attendance during her book-signing event.

“Nakakatuwa dahil nagpapatunay sa sinasabi ko na sa halip na mag-lecture o mag-orate sa taongbayan, kung minsan mas madali pa kung idaan na lang natin sa pabiro, dahil diyan nagkakaintindihan tayo.

Tayong mga Pilipino, we have our own sense of humor, we have our own way of cracking jokes.”

She added, “I just want to say that I did not expect na ganito karaming tao ang darating sa ganitong oras, dahil weekday ngayon eh. Miyerkules pa man din, pero sa palagay ko sobra sa isang libo ang dumating ngayon.”

When asked if she will be running for president in the 2016 elections, the senator said that she needs to think it over carefully. With the huge number of people showing their support for her book, did it boost her confidence to run for

A week since finally admitting that he and Rachelle Ann Go became a couple some months back, Slater Young finally detailed what happened between them.

During a recent interview at the press conference of his first full-length film #Y, Slater shared that their decision to end their three-month relationship was mutual.

“No, more on mutual agreement. It’s not working out and nahihirapan kami [with] the situation,” Slater said.

The Cebuano hunk shared that they were a couple from January to March. It happened, “Right after she left (for London) we decided na medyo mahirap talaga. Maybe it’s the time. Si God na lang muna ang bahala.”

While Slater admitted there’s a bit of regret that things didn’t work out for them, “pero hindi naman natin pwedeng pilitin ‘pag hindi talaga pwede.”

But is it really over between the two of them? “Well we can never predict the future. We’ll see, we’ll see,” he said. However he quickly added, “As of now I don’t see it working out. Kumbaga na magkabalikan kami, but we’ll never know.”

Although their romance was considerably short, Slater underscored that they ended it pretty well. “Wala naman. We ended up pretty okay considering na usually pag nag-be-break up sala na, di na nagpapansinan. Okay naman kami. Friends parin kami,” he said.

In fact, he and the Miss Saigon star even communicated when the latter recently went back to the Philippines for some commitments. But he admitted that they are not as close as they were before.

“Wala na masyado. When she was here we talked for a bit but not more than five minutes. Kamustahan lang and then wala na,” he related.

In recent interviews, Slater has opened up that their breakup wasn’t really caused by the distance. “It’s more of the small things talaga. ‘Pag minsan ‘yung little things na hindi kayo magkasundo. Don ‘yung hindi kayo nag-work,” Slater reasoned.

While he’s currently decided to set his love life aside, reports have it that Rachelle’s is in full swing as there were rumors that he already has a boyfriend in London. “I hear things naman sometimes. But, I hope she’s happy,” he ended.

Hindi naitago ni Megastar Sharon Cuneta ang kanyang pangungulila sa inang si Mommy Elaine Cuneta mula nang pumanaw ito ilang linggo na ang nakakaraan.

Sa Facebook ibinulalas ni Shawie ang tindi ng kanyang nararamdaman sa mga panahong ito lalo pa nga’t malapit ang Pasko at first time siyang magsi-celebrate na hindi kasama ang butihing ina.

“I miss you, Mama ko... I know that this is my new normal, and I know that by God’s grace, all will one day settle, and I will get used to it.

“But I have never known life without you... I am broken, Mommy ko... I had no idea how much it would hurt to lose you... I have shut down and I quietly get on with each day since you left... I wish we could have had just a little more time together... to become close... to love more... to talk... just to be Mama and baby again.

“I love you very, very much, Mama ko... I am so sorry for everything I did to hurt you from the time I was little.

“I still had so much to say to you, but God had to bring you home, and I know He is making you the happiest you’ve ever

president? “Yes and no. Yes, because it shows that I have popular support, and, no, in a way, because I am fully aware of the responsibilities that I will assume. People seem to have very, very high expectations of me; it frightens even me. No person can meet all the expectations of all these young people, especially those who played hooky from school today, whom I tried to reprimand but who were faster than me in their repartees.”

She stressed that she needs to be in the best state of health and be cured from cancer before she run in the elections. “I’m going to think about it. First of all, I have to get rid of the last few vestiges of cancer. I am in remission, as they say. The cancer is no longer in its original strong state; it is now in a very weak state. Still, I have to be in the best of health if I will be president of the Philippines because there are so many things that have to be done simultaneously,” she stated.

Now that the wedding of her dear friend Heart Evangelista and senator Chiz Escudero is fast approaching, will she be present in the couple’s wedding ceremony? “Hindi siguro ako makakapunta, sinabi ko na, dahil ang kasal nila ay doon sa Balesin Island. Nahihirapan ako magbiyahe sa eroplano kaya nga I haven’t been out of the country for almost a year now. It’s bad for my health,” she relayed.

When asked about her marriage advice for Heart and Chiz, she stated, “They have to be kind to each other.”

been... I think of you all day long and cry everyday. I know you see me and are just with me all the time, and one day I know I’ll be okay. After all, I am your girl... and you didn’t raise me to be weak and useless.

“I miss you so, so much... Please kiss Daddy for me. And my two little babies who I never got to see. Please tell them I miss and love them very, very much, too...

“I love you so much... my heart is in pieces.

“Your baby always, “ShaSha.”

EXCLUSIVE

ON VICTOR’S CHEATING WAYS

"Sa simula pa lang pwede mo nang iwasan "

P

alaging nasa taping ng teleseryeng Two Wives si Jason Abalos bilang Victor kaya hindi pa niya nararamdaman ang epekto ng pagiging bida ng isang primetime series ng ABS-CBN. “Halos araw-araw ang trabaho namin, eh. Sa Bulacan kami nagtitaping kaya walang time gumala. Hindi pa nga ako nakakagala ulit, eh. Nakakalabas ako tuwing Sunday lang, nagsisimba lang... ‘yon lang,” kuwento ng magaling na aktor.

Hindi rin siya masyadong aware na dahil sa Two Wives ay maraming babae at bading ang nagpantasya sa kanya.

“Siguro nu’ng un may mga ganu’n, tuwang-tuwa sila sa akin kasi maganda yung role, eh. Kasi alam mo yung mga Pinoy, gusto nila yung kinikiligkilig sila, saka naka-topless ako lagi, pero nung bandang huli na, nung medyo nangangabit-ngabit na, yung mga tao bwisit na bwisit na,” dagdag kuwento pa ni Jason.

Inamin ni Jason na bilang Victor na na-involve sa dalawang karakter nina Kaye Abad at Erich Gonzales sa Two Wives, masuwerte daw siyang hindi pa dumating sa part ng buhay niya ang pumili kung sino ang mas mahal niya.

“Wala pa namang ganu’n... Kasi, simula pa lang puwede mo na namang iwasan, eh. Hindi na aaboot sa ganu’n. At saka choice mo naman din ‘yon. Kung hindi mo naiwasan sa simula, malamang do’n ka talaga mamomroblema,” reaksyon niya.

Masayang ibinalita ni Jason sa Push na okay ang love life nila ni Vicki Rushton, former PBB housemate. Marami rin daw itong product endorsement ngayon.

“Sabi ko nga sa kanya, ‘uy, daig mo pa ako, ah. Madami na rin siyang ipon kesa sa akin (laughs).”

Pero hindi pa rin daw niya pinapayuhang bumili ng kotse ang kasintahan. Ang spare car pa rin ni Jason ang ginagamit ni Vicki.

“Sabi ko kasi huwag muna. Sabi ko, ipon muna siya. Kasi para... hindi naman yon muna ang dapat unahin, eh... may nagagamit naman siya.”

One year na ang relasyon nina Jason at Vicki at hindi natatakot ang aktor na baka maagaw ng iba ang girlfriend lalo pa nga’t pinapasok na rin nito ang showbiz.

“One year na kami, eh. Medyo matatag na yung foundation. Saka parang sinubok na rin naman kami ng panahon. Kasi siyempre, sabi ko nga, choice nyo naman yon kung gusto n’yong mag-work ang inyong relasyon. Nasa sa inyo naman ‘yon, eh.

“Kung may problema sigurong dumating, puwede namang pag-usapan lahat,” paliwanag pa ni Jason.

Ipinagdarasal ni Jason na sana ay si Vicki na ang babaing kanyang pakakasalan.

Pero itinanggi niyang may balak na siyang pakasalan ang kasintahan.

“Sa ngayon, sinisimula ko na ring mag-ipon-ipon. Kumbaga, pinaghahandaan ko na rin. Hindi na rin naman ako bata, I’m 28 na rin naman...

“Si Vicki kasi napakabait. Ipinagdarasal ko talaga na sana siya na... kasi sa edad ko, ayoko na yung parang palipat-lipat, eh, nakakapagod, eh. Yung magsisimula ka ulit tapos... Invest ka ng emotions, tapos wala na naman, parang panibagong buhay na naman... Nakakapagod,” sabi pa ng aktor.

Dahil sa work, aminado si Jason na paminsan-minsan na lang silang nagkikita ni Vicki. Pero pag may time, dumadalaw daw naman ito sa kanyang taping sa Bulacan.

Beyonce liked his

Super Selfie videos and wanted to “recreate” it

Sa Aquino and Abunda Tonight, isang nakakabilib na Gab Valenciano ang nagkwento kung paano siya kinontak ng management ni Beyonce para tumulong sa gagawin nitong 7/11 music video.

Diumano kinontak si Gab ng management ni Beyonce nang pabalik na siya ng Manila mula sa Los Angeles. Hindi si Gab makapaniwala nang malaman na team ni Beyonce ang kumukontak sa kanya para patulungin siya sa gagawing music video ni Beyonce.

Kwento ni Gab, nakita ni Beyonce ang Super Selfie videos niya sa YouTube at gusto ni Beyonce “i-recreate” ang Super Selfie videos ni Gab. Nagkaroon ng call conference kung saan, ayon kay Gab, “they picked my brain.” Matapos noon hindi na raw nila alam ang ginagawa ni Beyonce dahil mismong si Beyonce ang nag-shoot, nag-direct at gumawa ng karamihan sa choreography ng 7/11. Ayon sa team ni Beyonce, “she (Beyonce) is such a creative person.”

“Kinilig” diumano si Gab nang ginawa ni Beyonce ng dalawang beses ang kanyang signature move kung saan nakaluhod si Gab, nakatingala, nakaliyad ang katawan at nakataas ang dalawang kamay. Marami pang ibang moves ni Gab ang ginamit si Beyonce at maging ang konsepto at choreography ng 7/11 ay “Super Selfie” ang dating. Binigyan rin ng credit si Gab sa 7/11 music video ni Beyonce bilang “responsible for additional choreography.”

May nakapanood rin ng Super Selfie videos ni Gab sa US kung kaya kinontak si Gab ng kaibigan ni Giselle Toengi upang maging part naman siya ng “Rock the Vote Campaign” sa America, kung saan nakasama ni Gab sina Whoopi Goldberg, rapper Lil John at Darren Criss ng Glee.

Oh My G’s stars include Janella Salvador, Marlo Mortel, and Manolo Pedrosa. Sunshine had nothing but good words for the young stars. “Wellako naman nakikita ko it’s the first time that I met them personally andnakakatuwa na lumapit agad sila kasi sinasabi ng ibang senior stars na ‘yung mga kabataan daw ngayon wala ng masyadong respeto sa ibang mga matatandang artista pero ako nakikita ko they are very pleasant, they are very nice and I’m sure they will be doing their very best for this project kasi maganda ‘yung kwento,” she stated.

Sunshine remarked that she is currently happy professionally and personally. “I’m very, very happy. I couldn’t ask for more.

Recently I won sa Star Awards na talagang nakaka-surprise, sabi ko nga ‘What more could I ask for?’ I have three talented children, hindi ako nawawalan ng trabaho, nagpro-provide si God sa akin.

I quit for thirteen years sa showbiz, almost two years pa lang akong nagbabalik, na-recognize naman ng Star Awards ‘yung MMK (Maalaala Mo Kaya) ko so parang, ano parangI’m so blessed and I am just so happy.”

The actress said that she is not rushing when it comes to her love life. “Ang daming nagsasabi, ‘How come you’re so blooming? Are you in love?’Nakikita na parang ang aliwalas. It's because of the blessings coming my way parang I couldn’t ask for more. ‘Yung love life wala ‘yan, kung ibibigay sa akin ‘yan ng Diyos thank you, kung hindi okay lang din. I’m not in a hurry and I know in God's time darating ‘yan,” she said.

Sunshine admitted that she is not on speaking terms with husband Cesar Montano. But she hopes that they can iron things out for their kids anytime soon. “Hindi pa kami nagkakausap, ongoing pa rin ‘yung hearing namin for annulment pero hanggang don na lang muna and I think he’s happy, may nababalitaan ako na he’s inspired and happy. Whatever it isbasta kami naman ng kids masaya kami pag masaya siya and nakikita niya naman ng madalas ang kids, napapasyal niya pag Sunday kung gusto niya anytime pwede so ganon na lang and I’m praying that eventually, I’m praying na maging civil kami sa isa’t isa, if not friends kahit civil for the kids,” she stated.

Amid all the controversies faced by their family, Nicco Manalo, the eldest son of comedian Jose Manalo, is still positive that everything would fare well for their family sooner or later.

With Christmas just around the corner, Nicco, in a recent interview with Push. com.ph, was asked whether he thinks his parents would patch things up for the important holiday.

“Hindi ko alam. Pero siyempre, maganda naman ‘yung maayos ang mga bagay-bagay. Masaya naman yung ganon. Masaya ang Pasko kung magiging gano’n nga. Parang right now, they’re both trying to fix things na kailangan namin… without it being in the limelight,” Nicco said.

Nicco’s mother Anna Lyn went public in 2012 and claimed that her husband left their home to be with his mistress and that he stopped giving financial support for them. She also filed a violation of Republic Act 9262 or the AntiViolence against Women and Children Act which was later on junked by the court.

Meanwhile, TAPE Inc., his father’s talent management, filed a case against Anna Lyn for supposedly harassing Jose. She was also charged with estafa recently.

While he claimed to have no knowledge as to his parents’ legal battle, Nicco assured people that they are trying to iron things out.

“They’re still talking about it, wala akong alam, actually. Hindi ko siya pinapakialaman eh. Hindi ko nalang talaga iniisip,” Nicco said.

He added, “They’re fixing what needs fixing, I mean, in terms of our family.

‘Yun ang pinag-uusapan, they’re working on it.”

But according to him, he and his father are yet to speak to each other.

What’s stopping them from talking? “Right now? Ayaw ko lang ma-fuel yung controversy na yun. We’ve been dealing with that for a while now, it comes and goes. Ayoko namang gumano’n pa siya uli. We’re working on it naman eh.

Parang ma-respect ‘yung privacy namin. Ayusin namin yung kailangan naming ayusin sa likod ng mga trabaho namin,” he explained.

Their current situation doesn’t change the fact that he still dreams of working with his father. In fact, he claims that his father is very well aware of it saying that, “Everyone knows about it and they respect that, ‘yung space na ina-allow namin sa isa’t isa. My dad knows it, too. He knows me very well. He knows how

ala na sa dating child wonder ng Philippine cinema na si Nino Muhlach ang atensyon ngayon ng entertainment press during the presscon of My Big Bossing, ang entry sa Metro Manila Film Festival na pinagbibidahan ni Vic Sotto.

Sa bibong anak niyang si Alonzo, who is only four years old, na introducing sa movie nakatuon ang atensyon ng maraming press.

“Happy ako siyempre, masayang-masaya ako lalo na nu’ng pinapanood ko yung trailer. Nakakatuwa pala kapag yung anak mo na yung pinapanood mo,” simulang kuwento ni Onin sa interbyu ng Push.

Paano ba niya nalaman na gusto ring mag-artista ni Alonzo?

“Actually, marami ang nagsasabi na carbon copy ko raw si Alonzo, na puwede siyang mag-artista, pero nagsimula talaga yan sa PBB nung kinuha siya. Kailangan daw nila ng limang batang papaalagaan don sa mga housemates. So, tinawagan ako ng ABS-CBN kung puwede raw na for one week, papasok si Alonzo do’n sa loob four hours a day.

“Tapos, ano... okay naman. Tinanong ko siya kung gusto niya, eh, gusto naman niya. Nagkataon naman na siya ang pinag-usapan nang pinag-usapan kaya ‘yon...” dagdag kuwento pa ng proud father.

Inamin ni Nino na hindi niya talaga binalak na gawing artista ang anak niya.

“Hindi ko talaga binalak, kasi kung ginusto ko sana, tinuruan ko na ng Tagalog ‘yan... Wala talagang plano, eh, basta dumating na lang,” say pa niya.

“Buti nga ngayon, medyo natututo na. Magmula nu’ng nag-artsita na siya, kinakausap na namin siya ng Tagalog sa bahay. Nu’ng time ko kasi, hindi naman naging problema sa akin yung English at Tagalog, iba sa case ni Alonzo, eh,” patuloy pa niya.

Nai-share din ni Onin na bilang child star noon, napakaganda ng kanyang mga pinagdaanan na wish din niya na ma-experience ng kanyang anak.

“As a child star, happy ang buhay ko noon. Maganda rin ang nagawa no’n sa akin, nakapag-ipon ako, nagkaroon ako ng building, kumbaga, hindi po masama, eh. So, why ill I deprive my son to experience something like that.

“Pero siyempre, aalagaan mo rin. Kailangan mo talagang i-guide dahil kung hindi baka... kasi maraming ano, eh.

Kung hindi baka mapariwara.”

Ayaw

I can treat or how I deal with things. And parang right now, he’s doing his own thing and I’m doing mine. So, okay na sa ganon.”

Reports have it that since his father left, Jose started living in with his rumored new flame who was reported to be a Sexbomb dancer. For Nicco, that rumor is nothing but “old news” that he doesn’t want to dwell on. But he however admitted that he might be affected by it in the event that it would turn out to be true.

“Siyempre, hindi naman po maiiwasan na ma-affect by it. I mean, lahat naman nangangarap ng happy family. Kaso he has his reasons, I guess. Ayun nga, hopefully, I’ll be able to hear his reasons when the right time comes,” Nicco said.

Will he be willing to meet his father’s new flame in the future? “Kagaya nga po ng sinasabi ko, if I’m asked, am I proud of my dad? I am, hindi naman po mawawala yun. Ayun nga po, open ako na pakinggan yung side niya,” Nicco ended.

matawag ni Nino sa stage father kaya ipina-manage niya si Alonzo sa iba.

“Kaya nga kinuha ko si Tita Aster (Amoyo) para mag-manage sa kanya, eh, para iwas-iwas diyan sa isyu ng pagiging stage father. Pero siyempre, tatay ako eh, I will always look for his welfare. Tulad sa akin, kung anong ginawa sa akin ng daddy ko, siguro ganu’n din ako sa kanya... Kung hindi rin naman sa ginawa ng daddy ko, wala rin naman akong na-invest eh,” paliwanag pa niya.

Sinigurado rin ni Nino na iipunin niya nang maayos ang kikitain ni Alonzo at kapag dumating ang tamang edad nito ay ibibigay niya ’yon ng buung-buo sa anak.

Bukod sa My Big Bossing, magbibida rin sa isang teleserye si Alonzo sa ABS-CBN. Abangan na lang daw ang tungkol dito at kung kailan ito magsisimula.

On Aquino and Abunda Tonight, Isabelle Daza said she decided to be a Kapamilya because she wanted a new challenge and a chance to hone her acting skills.

Host Boy Abunda told Isabelle that he’s a fan of the way she acts and that he could still remember some of her scenes in Lihis. Isabelle said she personally believes “you’re only as good as your director” and that she’s blessed to have worked with good directors like Cathy Garcia Molina who cured her of her habit of pouting.

Asked what her acting style is, Isabelle said she doesn’t like “over acting.” Her mom Gloria Diaz always tells her to “say it with your eyes.” Under her mom’s tutelage, Isabelle is also not fond of big gestures when she acts.

But who is the better actor between her and her Mom? Isabelle laughed and said, “You should ask her that. I don’t think I’ve had enough experience.”

Isabelle also recounted a conversation she had with her mom. One time Isabelle was complaining to her mom about not having enough sleep for three days because of her workload, to which her mom replied, “that’s why I’m telling you to save your money, don’t be materialistic.” To this Isabel quipped, “I’ll just marry rich.” Her mom then told her, “The money goes, the monkey stays.” Isabel said this advice encompasses love, money, marriage, and just about everything.

Isabelle also admitted to a time when her mom was feeling “protective” of her and she threw a fit during one of Isabelle’s shoot. Isabelle said her Mom felt protective because she wasn’t “covered well” and there were many men in the room. She recounted how her mom screamed at the team doing the shoot and hurled a box of popcorn across the room.

Boy also asked Isabelle whether her dad is gay. He said people are wondering because of a Facebook status he posted. Isabelle laughed at the question and said her dad saying he was gay on Facebook was just his way of “spicing up his Facebook activity.”

Isabelle is excited to work with Gerald Anderson in a teleserye slated to air in January 2015. She said she admires Gerald as an actor because she witnessed Gerald’s transformation from being an “AmBoy” with an accent in PBB to his remarkable performance in On The Job.

Even if a bunch of her social media followers took her recent transfer to ABS-CBN negatively, newest Kapamilya star Isabelle Daza remains unaffected by such comments.

“Well I think there are always going to be haters kahit anong i-post mo. Last time I posted something about Thanksgiving parang ang daming nagalit na nagce-celebrate ako ng Thanksgiving,” she said during a live interview with The Buzz on Sunday.

Showing how unaffected she was, Isabelle even joked, “Parang wala naman daw tayong Thanksgiving dito sa Philippines, bakit I just wanna eat Turkey.”

Turning serious, Isabelle pointed out that, “Haters gonna hate. It’s a normal thing I think you just gotta deal with it.”

According to Isabelle she got this kind of mentality from her family who told her: “You can’t get all this love, without any hate.”

For her part, with her bashers all eyes on her now, Isabelle assured that she will “just try to do my best to live up to all this pressure and expectations.”

Since her transfer came pretty surprising for a lot of her fans from her former home network, many immediately wrote her off as ungrateful of the network that built her career as well as the show that she’s been part of for over four years.

Rumors even went around that her colleagues from Eat Bulaga, where she’s one of the hosts for four years now, were shocked upon her departure.

To this, Isabelle explained, “I didn’t have a contract but I was there regularly for four years. Pano ba? I think I asked my co-workers that I was being offered by ABS and I was asking ‘What do you think?’ kasi siyempre komportable nako dito sa other network, sa Eat Bulaga and everyday may trabaho ako and siyempre they are like family to me. So sobrang hirap talaga ng desisyon to move.”

While she has been vocal in saying that she went over the other side of the fence in order to try on a new challenge, Isabelle admitted that the Kapamilya network’s huge roster of actors and actresses were also another factor.

“Siyempre ang daming guwapong leading men here who are also taller than me. Siyempre that’s what I need. Tapos ‘yun. Yeah nakaka-work ko si Dong [Dantes], I’m working with him now for a movie. ‘Yun maraming leading men here na I want to work with,” she noted.

In a previous interview, the daughter of Miss Universe Gloria Diaz named Gerald Anderson as one of the actors that she has long wanted to share the screen with.

This desire she shared started after watching Gerald’s internationally-acclaimed film On The Job. After kong napanood ‘yun [gusto ko na siyang makatrabaho]. I saw how he really transformed as an actor. Ang galing galing niya doon. He was like a prisoner na brusko and I was like ‘wow he

Fortunately, Isabelle will be working with Gerald on her first soap for the network, Nathaniel, together with Shaina Magdayao, among others.

Kim’s mother, Louella, left the family when the actress was just nine years old. They were estranged at the time Louella passed away in June of 2013 so she was unable to have closure. At the recent blog conference for her upcoming film Past Tense, Kim mentioned that if she could turn back time, she would have stopped her mom from leaving their family.

ith the officially longest running Broadway musical in Manila for the first time, Solaire Resort’s Chicago boasts of a cast that is nothing

but

world-class.

The

theatrical

production which has already reached 17 million people worldwide is on a limited run until December 21 at The Theatre in Solaire.

Chicago tells the story of housewife and nightclub dancer Roxie Hart who ends up murdering her lover and goes to jail for the

crime. She enlists the help of the city’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her case from a heartless murder to a plea for sympathy.

Roxie is played by Bianca Marroquin who is also the first Mexican actress to land a lead role on Broadway. “Roxie Hart to me is a very delicious role to play because it has everything you ever wanted. It’s like a dream role. First of all she’s a dancer, an actress, a comedian, and a singer so it’s all the things that we’ve been trained to do. I always like to think that Roxie goes through all the emotions in the two hours and 20 minutes that the show is about because she’s very feisty and crazy and passionate and very impiulsive and get to see why she’s actually capable of killing somebody but then she’s very vulnerable,” she said.

Another key character in the play is played by another theater veteran and

Alongside with Roxie, the things that have been happening to me personally the losses you go through, the changes. I recently did a concert in New York and I greeted the audience with, ‘The only constant thing in life is change. The only constant thing in my life is Roxie Hart so far.’ So I did my concert and it revolved on other shows that I’ve done. And every time I have something new to offer to

I don’t need to do it I do it because I love to do it. And when I have friends in the show and when I can laugh on stage and off stage with that kind of rapport, I don’t see 11 years gone by. I see an 11-year journey and life of growth. So we’re very lucky,” she admitted.

And that’s where the magic happens,” she said. Working with Filipinos in the production has also been a positive experience for the theater actress. “They’re so hospitable and very sweet. They work hard. I ask for something and within a second they want to make sure it’s there and you never have to say it twice.,” she added.

GWAPONG ACTOR, IBANG KLASE AND TRIP

SA SA AKTOR, MARUNONG TALAGANG LUMEBEL INGLESERA NOBYANG AKTRES NA WA SA PAGKAObvious na napilitan na lang mag-Tagalog ang isang actor sa isang recent TV interview even if he has a good command of the English language.

Sinasabayan lang niya kasi ang kanyang nobyang aktres who—as everybody knows— ay wa sa pagka-Inglisera. No wonder, the actor’s girlfriend keeps no circle of sosyalera

twangy friends dahil baka nakatunganga lang siya sa tsikahan.

Anyway, napaghalata kasing sinadya na lang idaan ng aktor sa Pananagalog ang sagot sa tanong sa isang event they both attended.

‘Ika nga, marunong lang talagang lumebel ang aktor sa kanyang nobyang itago na lang natin sa alyas na Rhiana Miranda!

YMENT SA KOTSE DIREK, NAGBAYAD NG FULL DOWNPA NG HUNK MODEL-ACTOR

?

Ang pagiging late ng isang hunk model-actor sa isang taping prompted the program staff to validate kung totoo nga ang kanyang ikinatwirang dahilan for his tardiness.

Ayon kasi sa modelong aktor, inikut-ikot daw siya ng kanyang sinakyang taxi, bagay na pinagdudahan ng staff. Yes, wala pa siyang naipupundar na sasakyan.

Sa kanilang pag-iimbestiga, napag-alaman ng staff na kaya pala siya na-late sa taping ay dahil galing ito sa isang bilihan ng mga sasakyan. Yes, the hunk model-actor acquired a brand-new car na kailangang bayaran ang full downpayment na umabot sa halagang P300,000.

Pero ang catch dito, hindi mismong pera ng

modelong aktor ang ipinambayad sa hulugan niyang kotse. And whose money?

Kasama na naimbestigahan ng staff na noong araw na nag-down ang hunk model-actor ay kasama niya ang isang TV director who insisted na siya ang magbayad ng full DP. Teka, hindi ba’t straight si Direk? In fact, nagkaroon siya ng nobya noon who’s now happily married.

Pero ayon sa staff, confirmed: direk is a certified bading. Regardless. Ang nakakaloka ay ang halagang pinakawalan niya.

Ganu’n ba kamahal ang presyo ng modelong aktor na itago na lang natin sa alyas na Ignacio Fabregas?

‘SUHULAN’ SIKAT NA AKTRES, KAILANGAN PANG T ANG MGA BISITA SA KANYANG EVEN Kinailangan pang “suhulan” ng isang sikat na aktres ang mga um-attend ng kanyang personal event para sumipot lang ang mga ito, most if not all of them are not exactly her close friends.

Siyempre nga naman, the invited ones had to show up kahit labag sa kanilang kalooban even if their appearance was against their will.

Truth to tell, hindi naman kasi puwedeng ipangalandakan ng aktres na she keeps a circle of dear showbiz friends, except for a handful na kelan lang naman niya nakasama sa kanyang mga flopchinang soap.

In stark contrast ito sa separate event ng isa pang aktres which was organized by her close showbiz female friends. Itsurang idinaos

ang pagtitipon na ‘yon— much to the surprise of the actress—sa bayan ng kanyang pakakasalan sa pagkalayulayong lugar sa Southern Luzon, the invited ones swooped down on the venue.

Eh, ang unang aktres na itago na lang natin sa alyas na Marina de Vera, kailangan pang magregalo sa mga sumipot sa kanyang event!

TV HOST, NAGPAKITA NG PWET! Hulaan nyo kung sino itong makulit na TV host na gumawa ng eksena sa isang pictorial last Monday.

Actually, habang ginaganap ang pictorial ng isang bagong teleserye sa isang studio ay nasa kabilang studio naman ang TV host na ito at nagte-taping ng hino-host nitong search.

Pumasyal sa pictorial ang TV host kung saan naabutan nitong ang solong kinukunan ay ang kaibigan niyang bading na kasama sa naturang teleserye.

Pinanood ng TV host ang kaibigan habang nakasalang sa pictorial.

Nag-e-emote-emote sa harap ng photographer ang naturang bading. Nandiyang sumigaw ang photographer ng, “Smile!” At smile naman ang bading.

“Tingin sa kanan sa itaas,” na ginagawa naman ng bading, hanggang sa mag-instruct ang photographer ng, “Serious naman.”

Nag-seryoso naman ang mukha ng bading, pero bumunghalit ng tawa at nag-excuse!

Paano ba naman kasi, yung pumasyal sa pictorial na TV host ay biglang tumalikod at ibinaba ang pants at ipinakita ang kanyang pwet sa bading!

Hahahahaha!

“Na-miss mo ‘yon, no?” say ng guwapong TV host sa bading, “Oo nga, bigla kong na-miss yan.”

Eh, paano ba naman kasi, nung magkasama sa isang talk show ang dalawang ito ay ginugulat palagi ni TV host ang bading sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakita nito ng pwet na in fairness, flawless namang tunay!

Hahahaha!

Pero hanggang du’n lang yon, dahil kung magturingan ang dalawa ay parang mag-ina talaga.

Kapag hindi nyo pa ‘yan nahulaan, ewan ko na

?

lang, ha? Ang malas n’yo. Pero pag nahulaan n’yo ang young TV host ay nako naman, ang swerte-swerte n’yo.

Eh sino naman ang bading na TV host na madalas ding makita sa teleserye?

I’m sure, hindi na kayo mapapa-Oh, my G! Hahahahaha!

Baka hindi pa aware ang isang guwapong young actor na sa isang umpukan ng mga baklitang reporter ay pinag-uusapan ang kanyang “ipinagawa” sa maselang bahagi ng kanyang katawan. Alam n’yo na kung saan ‘yon, ha? ‘Wag n’yo nang itanong kung nagpa-enlarge ba siya? No, hindi niya kailangan ‘yon. Nagpa-Brazilian wax ba siya sa “madawag na kagubatan niya doon hanggang sa kailalim-ilaliman”? No, hindi rin.

Kung ‘yung ibang kalalakihan ay trip magpalagay ng tattoo sa alinmang parte ng kanilang katawan, ibahin n’yo ang young actor na ito, dahil wala itong tattoo sa kanyang katawan, pero “sa dako pa roon” ay may ipinagawa siya na hindi kayang gawin ng ibang mga barako-- ang magpalagay doon ng “bolitas.”

Dahil ang paniniwala raw pala ng young actor, sa dati niyang probinsiyang kinalakihan, lahat ng mga kababata niya doon ay nagpalagay na ng bolitas sa kanilang “general merchandise,” kaya ang “tradisyong” kinamulatan ay kanya ring ipinagawa sa ari niya bilang “pangiliti” sa ka-partner.

Pero hindi naman ‘yung pagpapalagay niya ng bolitas ang isyu, kundi ang pagbabayad pagkatapos ng serbisyo.

Diumano, tseke ang ibinayad ng young actor.

Tumalbog ba?

Ay, hindi. Hindi tumalbog. Pero ang kaintri-intriga daw doon ay hindi ito tseke ng young actor, kundi tseke ng isang kilalang gay personality, dahil ang pangalan nito ang nakalagay sa account name. So, iniisip na tuloy ng source na ito ang nagbayad ng pagpapabolitas niya, “So, doon din kaya niya sa bading gagamitin ito?” ask pa sa akin ng source.

Natawa na lang ako. Basta trip niya ‘yon, walang basagan ng trip. Kung may relasyon man sila ng naturang gay personality ay hayaan na natin for as long as wala naman silang inaagrabyadong ibang tao.

Basta ‘pag nakikita ko na lang ang billboard ng guwapong young actor sa kahabaan ng Edsa, napapangiti na lang ako, dahil may kaugnayan din pala sa bading ang billboard na ‘yon. Oo nga naman, walang basagan ng bote, este, ng trip. Basta hashtag alam na.
