ABS-CBN SHOWS IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY IN NEWEST POWERHOUSE PRIMETIME DRAMA “YOU’RE MY HOME”

When all the love and trust are gone, can a family still pick up the pieces and rebuild a shattered home?   

From the makers of top-caliber family dramas, ABS-CBN tells the heartfelt story of a daughter who would do whatever it takes to fix her family in the newest powerhouse primetime drama “You’re Me Home” premiering this November 9.

Get to know the Fontanilla family in the eyes of eldest daughter Grace Fontanilla (Jessy Mendiola). After many years of living in simplicity, the lives of the Fontanillas suddenly changed when Gabriel (Richard Gomez) handled the frustrated homicide case against Christian Vergara (JC De Vera), son of a powerful senator (Tonton Gutierrez). With their new and luxurious lifestyle, then 12-year old Grace realized that her dad and mom Marian (Dawn Zulueta) had no time for them anymore, thus turned rebellious.

One night, she left the house to be with her friends, and her brother Rahm together with the house help ran after her, leaving Vince alone inside the house. Shortly after, the Fontanillas learned about the shocking news that will change their lives and test their family--- Vince is missing.

Twelve years later, the Fontanillas face the consequences of Vince’s disappearance. Marian and Gabriel are no longer together. Marian focused her time and strength on putting up her own clothing line while Gabriel found comfort in the arms of Roni (Lara Quigaman), the police officer who handled the kidnapping case. Rahm (Sam Concepcion), at an early age, already has a son and a wife while Grace continues to move on with life, still blaming herself for what happened.

Fate then comes into play as Grace crosses paths with Vince (Paul Salas). As Vince returns to their lives, will the Fontanillas become one whole family again? Can Marian and Gabriel give love another chance? Can Rahm accept his brother despite the jealousy he is feeling? What if Grace falls in love Christian, the very man who got convicted for the kidnapping of her brother? Is her love for her family stronger than her love for Christian? What is the truth behind Vince’s disappearance?

Also included in the cast are Assunta De Rossi, Jobelle Salvador, Mika Dela Cruz, Minnie Aguilar, Peewee O’Hara, Belle Mariano, Bugoy Carino, and Raikko Mateo. “You’re My Home” is directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng and is produced by Star Creatives led by business unit head Malou Santos. Its creative team is led by creative manager and “MMK” headwriter Arah Jell Badayos.

"IT'S SHOWTIME,' NANAWAGAN SA MADLANG PEOPLE: "SHOW THE LOVE" SA NASALANTA NI LANDO

ABS-CBN recently launched its newest campaign “Show the Love,” a fund raising campaign for the benefit of the victims of typhoon Lando last Wednesday (Oct 21) via its noontime show “It’s Showtime.”

The campaign, which was inspired by the popular “It’s Showtime” segment “Magpasikat Ka,” will be participated in by various Kapamilya stars who will go to different places, show their talents, and ask for any voluntary contributions from audiences using a coin bottle that they will be passing around.

“It’s Showtime” hosts Vhong Navarro, Karylle, Billy Crawford, Coleen Garcia, and Jhong Hilario kicked-off the campaign at Historia Bar in Quezon City where they thrilled audiences with their musical performances and gathered funds from its regular patrons.

“This is just the start of the ‘magpasikat for a cause’ movement. In the next few days, more and more Kapamilya stars will unite to showcase their talent and encourage Filipinos to show the love to our fellow Kapamilya who were affected by typhoon Lando,” “It’s Showtime” host Billy Crawford said.

According to a report from ABS-CBNnews.com, the number of deaths related to typhoon Lando climbed to 47 and 107,000 people are still sheltered in evacuation centers. Meanwhile, based from the data released by Department of Agriculture, an estimate of 412,000 metric tons of rice worth P6.3 billion ($137 million) were destroyed, causing a major loss to thousands of farmers in the country’s crop producing regions.

“All proceeds of ‘Show the Love’ campaign will be turned over to Sagip Kapamilya for proper dissemination in affected areas. We hope that Filipinos will take part in this relief drive in their own little way, so together we can give back to fellow Filipinos who need help so they may still enjoy the Christmas season,” ‘It’s Showtime’ host Karylle shared.

On Wednesday, ABS-CBN employees also took part in the “Show the Love” campaign. Kapamilya stars and “PBB” housemates Joshua Garcia, Loisa Andalio, Fourth and Fifth Solomon, Kenzo Gutierrez, and Kamille Filoteo went around ABS-CBN offices with the coin bottle to ask employees for donations.

“Show the Love” is another relief campaign drive of the Kapamilya Network. In previous years, ABS-CBN has spearheaded successful fund raising campaigns, the most recent of which was the “Tulong Na, Tabang Na, Tayo Na” for the benefit of Yolanda victims in 2013.

“It’s Showtime” also made an announcement that those who want to send relief goods for the Lando victims can send them to the Sagip Kapamilya office at #13 Examiner St. West Triangle, Quezon City from 8am to 8pm. Rice, noodles, and canned goods are encouraged to be donated. They can also call the Sagip Kapamilya hotlines at 411-4995/412-1459 for more details.

The sharing of happiness and good vibes still continues in the month-long ANIMversary of “It’s Showtime,” Mondays to Saturdays noon. For more information, follow “It’s Showtime” on Facebook and Twitter (@ItsShowtimena).

TAMBALANG JENNYLYN AT SAM, JACKPOT SA TAKILYA

            

 

            Jackpot sa takilya ang romantic-comedy nina Jennylyn Mercardo at Sam Milby na  “The Pre-Nup” nu’ng opening day last Wednesday! Humamig ito ng P8M sa takilya at nagustuhan ang performances ng lead and supporting stars pati na husay ng direksyon ng award-winning director na si Jun Lana.

            Naihatid din ng pelikula ang layunin na mailarawan ang epekto ng isang pre-nuptial agreement bago ikasal ang dalawang tao sa masayang paraan.

            Maging sa social media, Twitter, Face Book at Instgram, nagbubunyi ang nakapanood ng movie sa kilig pa more na dala nina Jen at Sam. Trending din sa Twitter ang first day showing nito dahil aprub na aprub sa netizens ang Pinuy na Pinoy na tema ng “The Pre-Nup.”

            Eh, lutang na lutang at bentang-benta sa moviegoers ang galing nina Jen at Sam sa mga kilig scenes nila sa movie. ‘Yung nakatutuwa nilang mga eksena sa New York City ay hinangaan ng manonood. Patunay lang na gumastos nang todo ang Regal Entertainment sa romantic-comedy film na nilahukan pa ng fun, laughter and romance mula simula hanggang saw akas.

            Maraming ring lalaki ang nagsu-swoon sa ganda ni Jennylyn sa screen habang ang mga babae ay guwapung-guwapo sa katauhan ni Sam.  Bagay na bagay ang character nilang dalawa na isang kikay na babae at seryosong lalaki.

            Maging ang mga supporting stars ng “The Pre-Nup” ay pinapalakpakan ang performances at pagbitiw ng mga dayalog. Si Melai Cantiveros na lumabas na “sister” ni Jen, giba ang sinehan sa kanyang pagpapatawa!  Damang-daman naman ang pagiging aristokrata ni Jaclyn Jose bilang ina ni Sam.

            Ang lumabas na “magulang” ni Jennylyn na sina Gardo Versoza at Dominic Ochoa ay maraming moments din na ikinatuwa ng manonood.

            Graded B ng Cinema Evaluation Board ang “The Pre-Nup” at ang MTRCB rating nito ay Parental Guidance.

            Makisaya, maki-iyak at ma-in love sa ultimate kilig movie of the year na “The Pre-Nup”!

                                                        -0o0-

Hindi maitatanggi na naaliw kami sa pelikulang “The PreNup” nina Sam Milby at Jennylyn Mercado nu’ng mapanood namin ito. Sobrang tawa namin.

Havey si Jennylyn sa comedy. Nasa timing ang pagbitaw sa punchline lalo na sa dialogue niyang ‘tantado’.Pang-best actress na talaga si Jen in a comedy role.

Sobrang kinikilig din kami sa chemistry nina Jennylyn at Sam. Ang sarap-sarap at guwapo ni Sam sa movie. Hindi siya mukhang ngarag at fresh ang aura.

Isa pang napansin namin sa pelikula ay ang husay ni Neil Coleta bilang kloseta. Mahaba pala ang role ng binata dito at nabigyan  niya ng justice. Hanep din ang paghahabol ni Melai Cantiveros sa kanya sa pelikula na kung saan ay may eksenang napatawa kami nu’ng maglupasay si Melai na iniwan ng sasakyan samantalang  bumili pa ng bagong sapatos.

Gusto rin namin ang mahusay na  acting nina Gardo Versoza at Jaclyn Jose. Napaiyak naman kami ni Dominic Ochoa sa isang  eksena nila ni Jennylyn  na may pinagdadaanan sa lovelife.

Showing  pa rin ang  super kilig movie of the year na kung saan ay maraming scenes na kinunan sa New York. Handog ito ng Regal Entertainment.  Feel good ang pelikula ni Direk Jun Lana.

ALDUB SA PHILIPPINE ARENA

Ang daming napasaya sa  usapan nina Alden Richards at Maine  Mendoza sa telepono nung 3rd monthsary nila. Lalo na nang sabihin ni Alden ang “I  Miss You”.

Una ay bumati si Yaya Dub ng “Happy Monthsary”. Nagpasalamat dun siya kay Alden sa pasalubong nito galing ng Japan.

Nag-request din ng Dubmash si Yaya Dub kay Alden.

“Mas magaling ka na sa akin,” sey ni Yaya Dub.

“Idol kiya,eh!” sagot naman ni Alden.

Nag-request  din ng kanta si Alden kay Yaya Dub.

Kumanta ito at sinabayan pa ni Alden.

Havey pa rin ang kalyeserye kahit hindi nakikita si Yaya Dub.

ROBIN PADILLA AT CESAR MONTANO, CRUSH NI ATTY LEILA DE LIMA!!!

Matindi ang dating sa masa  ni  Atty. Leila de Lima ( dating  Secretary of Justice at ngayon ay tumatakbong senador sa Liberal Party-led Koalisyon ng Daang Matuwid)  dahil pinagkaguluhan siya sa ginawa niyang block screening ng “Heneral Luna” sa Trinoma nu’ng Sabado. Inimbita niya ang mga friends niya at ilang estudyante.

Ang daming nagpapa-picture sa kanya bago nakapasok sa sinehan.

Pag may oras si Atty. De Lima ay mahilig din siyang manood ng sine. Pero nu’ng maging Secretary of Justice siya ay sa eroplano pa raw siya huling nakapanood ng pelikula.

Aminado siyang ninenerbyos  dahil first time niyang nakatsikahan ang movie press.

“I know na mas marunong kayong mag-grill du’n sa mga unchartered territory ni Leila de Lima. ‘Yung hindi masyadong nakikita, ‘yung hindi masyadong alam ng mga tao. Alam ko, susubukan n’yo,” tumatawa niyang pahayag.

Natawa tuloy siya nu’ng tanungin ang kanyang showbiz crush. Buong ningning din niyang sinabi na sina Cesar Montano at Robin Padilla. Sey pa niya, sana raw i-endorse siya ng mga ito sa kandidatura niya bilang Senador. 

Tinanong din siya  kung mahirap bang mahalin ang isang Leila de Lima at napahalakhak siya  sa tanong.

“Sinasabi ko na nga, iba talaga kayong magtanong. ‘Yung mga ganyang questions, first time kong na. . .(encounter). Kayo lang ang mayroon talagang lakas ng loob na magtanong ng mga ganyang klaseng tanong,” bulalas niya.

“Siguro nga, mahirap. Because ‘yun ang problema kasi, wala talaga akong oras masyado sa kanila. Ang boyfriend ko at saka nagiging asawa ko, ‘yung trabaho ko.Pero siyempre, bilang babae, naa-attract din ako paminsan-minsan and therefore, in between, meron din relationship. But not so serious relationships,” pakli niya.

Masuwerte raw siya sa public life niya pero hindi siya naging masuwerte sa private life. Her marriage was annulled and there were a few relationships after that but they also all failed.

Nang tanungin kung sino ang gusto niyang kuning artistang mage-endorse sa kanya, si Eddie Garcia dahil pareho silang Bicolano.

Manoy kasi ang tawag kay Eddie at ang ipinu-push niya raw na slogan ngayon ay “Kay Manay, pantay-pantay”.

Pero kung sino raw ang artistang willing mag-endorse sa kanya ay okay na okay daw sa kanya.

Pag isasapelikula naman ang buhay niya, bagay raw si Dina Bonnevie na gumanap.

SNOOKY SERNA SHOWS VERSATILITY IN 'MY FAITHFUL HUSBAND' !

Seasoned actress Snooky Serna is effectively portraying her character in GMA’s primetime series My Faithful Husband as Mercedes. She has earned the ire of the show’s audience because of how she maltreats her son Emman (Dennis Trillo) and her daughter-in-law Mel (Jennylyn Mercado).

Compared to her previous roles wherein she played good-natured characters, this is the first time that she portrays a ‘kontrabida.’ “When I go out lalo na sa mga malls and restaurants, people used to call me ‘Snooky.. Snooky..’ Now ‘Cedes (Mercedes)..Cedes’ na. They keep asking me why I accepted the role na I never played before as kontrabida. I accepted the role to show my "different" style or atake sa isang role. To show my versatility. All my life ngayon lang ako kinaaasaran ng fans,” the actress shared.

However, despite having intense and heavy scenes, behind the camera, the cast and production team of My Faithful Husband are like one big family. “Sa taping, para kaming isang big family, equally treated, lahat level-headed and professional, walang malaki ang ulo kahit hit ang show. It's a team effort,” she said.

Currently, her character Mercedes is in prison because she is the prime suspect in the death of Arnaldo (Ricky Davao). According to the actress, there is more to expect from Mercedes. “Mas magagalit pa ang viewers kay Mercedes. Marami pang twist. But kung ako ang tatanungin, I want Cedes na makulong ng life imprisonment. To give justice sa lahat ng kademonyuhan niya. Pero at the same time, nakakaawa rin si Cedes kasi lost soul siya, eccentric, and a mom who wants to protect her family despite the fact na mukha siyang pera.”

Catch more of Snooky Serna in My Faithful Husband weeknights right after Beautiful Strangers on GMA Telebabad.

May pelikulang gagawin  si Snooky sa award winning director na si Jason Paul Laxamana  titled"Nuclear Family". Kasama sa movie sina Arron Villaflor at Rodjun Cruz. Prodyus ng BG Productions ni Baby Go.

"Ang makasali sa Starstruck ay isa sa pinaka-memorable na pangyayari sa aking buhay. Gusto ko rin maging artista maliban sa maging basketball player. Nagpapasalamat ako dahil napaka-supportive ng family ko. No matter what happens, I know na magiging worth it ang lahat sa huli. Nagpapasalamat din ako kay Lord sa napakalaking opportunity na makasali sa StartStruck."

"Kayang abutin ang pangarap basta laging maging masipag at determinado at huwag na huwag kalimutan na si God lang ang may alam kung ano ang dapat para sa akin kaya magtiwala lang sa kanya."

"Nang malaman kong may auditions sa StarStruck, nagtatatatalon ako dahil sabi ko baka ito na yung pagkakataon ko. Maraming mga pagsubok sa buhay pero hindi ako malungkot sa mga pinagdaanan ko kasi alam kong may mas nahihirapan pa sa buhay kaysa sa amin. Alam kong dapat maging matapang ako para sa mga mahal ko sa buhay."

"Napatunayan ko na wala talagang imposible sa mundo, basta't andyan ang pamilya at mga nagmamahal sayo, manalig lamang sa Diyos at maniwala ng lubos lubos. Walang masamang mangarap ng mataas."

"Nung nagka-opportunity akong mag-audition sa StarStruck, I grabbed it. Nung una akala ko hindi ko kaya pero I surrounded myself with people who genuinely care about me at sila yung nag-encourage sa akin to give it a try. I'm really thankful that I got in by God's grace. Nag-promise ako that I will make my family proud at ibibigay ko ang best ko as a way of thanking  the people na nag-encourage sa akin."

"When I first heard about the new season of StarStruck coming out this year, I had to join. No one pushed me, forced me, or made me do it other than myself. This could be my big break, something that will push me to my limits. It’s been a long and amazing journey for me so far."
