ABS-CBN's Tayong Dalawa

Gina Pareño thanks ‘Lola Gets’ for her first Best Actress award for TV

2009-12-03T21:10:00.000-08:00

Nasungkit ng aktres na si Gina Pareño ang Best Drama Actress award para sa pagganap niya bilang si ‘Lola Gets’ sa teleseryeng Tayong Dalawa sa 23rd Star Awards for Television ng Philippine Movie Press Club, Inc. Ito ang unang drama actress award na nakuha ni Gina sa Star Awards for TV. Although, two years ago nanalo rin si Gina sa Star Awards for TV sa Best Single Performance By An Actress para sa episode ng Maalaala Mo Kaya na ‘Rehas.’ “I’m so thankful, kasi, eto (Tayong Dalawa), e, sinamahan ng ating mga manonood for nine months, Monday to Friday. Nakakatuwa kasi talaga namang maski na ‘yung tunay ko’ng pagkatao ang tawag nila sa akin ‘Lola Gets.’ I’m so happy for that kasi, unang-una, ganu’n nila kamahal ‘yung character na pinortray ko kaya okey na sa akin kahit hindi nila ako tawaging Gina, Lola Gets na lang,” bungad ni Gina nang makapanayan ng ABS-CBN.com sa stage pagkatapos ng awards night. “Maraming-maraming salamat sa PMPC at sa mga manonod dahil hanggang ngayon ay hindi ninyo pa rin ako binibitawan. Talagang dapat ganu’n, walang bibitiw sa atin. Salamat ng marami sa mga manonood dahil hanggang ngayon, e, wala kayong sawang sumusubaybay sa akin,” masayang pahayag pa ni Gina.

Sa ngayon, busy na si Gina sa pagti-taping ng kasunod niyang teleserye sa ABS-CBN pagkatapos ng Tayong Dalawa. “Ang ginagawa ko ngayon ‘yung Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo. Kami nina Kris Aquino, Gabby Concepcion, Albert Martinez, ‘tsaka si Coco (Martin) kasama ko rin.” Hindi kaya hanapin pa rin ng viewers ang character niya na si Lola Gets sa bago niyang teleserye? “Kailangan naman iba. Pero siguro magugutsuhan naman nila ang istorya namin.” Sa tingin niya mabubura pa si Lola Gets sa katauhan niya? “Hindi na siguro. Kailangan lang tutukan ko ‘yung character na bago para ma-ano, ‘yung tipong lumaban.”

Busy rin sa iba niyang projects outside of ABS-CBN si Gina. “‘Yung ginagawa ko ngayon kay Regine Velasquez at ‘yung kay Aga Muhlach, ‘yung Omboy and Burns. Tapos gagawin ko ‘yung shooting ng Working Girls 2010. Ang anak ko si Eugene Domingo,” tapos ni Gina.

Coco Martin on winning his Best Actor trophy for TV: ‘Ito yung kabayaran ng pahihirap namin’

2009-12-03T21:07:00.000-08:00

Sa unang pagkakataon ay tinanghal na Best Drama Actor si Coco Martin sa 23rd Star Awards for Television para sa mahusay na pagganap niya bilang si Ramon sa matagumpay na teleserye sa Primetime Bida ng ABS-CBN na Tayong Dalawa. Kanino niya inaalay ang kanyang award? “Sa lahat, lahat. Sa pamilya ko sa indie (independent films), sa mentor ko kay Direk Dante (Mendoza) kasi siya ‘yung naghubog sa akin, eh. Ah, sa lahat, sa lahat ng boss ng Channel 2 para makapagtrabaho sa ABS,” simula ni Coco pagkatapos niyang tanggapin ang kanyang trophy sa Star Awards. Pang-ilang trophy na ba niya ang nakuhang award sa Star Awards? “Hindi ko na alam, e. Pero eto ‘yung first time na nanalo ako sa TV.” Ano’ng naramdaman niya nu’ng tawagin ang name niya? “Sobrang saya, sobra ang blessing ko this year. Sabi ko, ‘yung pagkakapanalo ko lalo na sa mga indie film ko and then, nanalo rin ako sa PMPC.” Sino naman ang pinakamalapit na babae sa puso niya na pwede niyang alayan ng kanyang award? “Wala pa, e. Sa lola ko, actually. Hehe. Nalungkot nga ako, e, kasi sa sobrang nerbyos ko hindi ko nabanggit, e, para sa lola ko.”

First time lang na-nominate ni Coco sa Star Awards for TV, nanalo agad siya. Kaya malaki raw ang meaning para sa kanya ng pagkakapanalo niya this time. “Sobrang laki ah, kasi ano, siyempre kumbaga nire-represent ko rito lahat ng production, lahat ng bumubuo sa Tayong Dalawa. Eto ‘yung kabayaran sa lahat ng paghihirap namin.” Sa pagkakapanalo ni Coco sa Star Awads for TV mas hihigpit daw ngayon ang agawan ng trono bilang top dramatic actor sa hanay ng mga artista ngn ABS-CBN sa 2010. “Hindi naman pero parang ito lang siguro ‘yung ano ko, parang at least napatunayan ko na may patutunguhan talaga kung may pagsusumikap ka at talagang pagtatrabahuan mo lahat ng ginagawa mo.” Pero may mga nagsasabi na marami raw talaga siyang matatabunang actor sa 2010 sa ABS-CBN. Naniniwala ba siya? “Hindi naman. Marami naman ‘dyan. Kumbaga, kuntento na ako. Kuntento na ako na ma-appreciate ang trabaho ko, lahat ng ginagawa ko ‘yun na.”

Excited na sa pagsabak si Coco sa bago niyang soap na Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo. “Naka-first day (shooting) na ako. Kasama ko doon si Kris Aquino, Albert Martinez, Gabby Concepcon, Gina Parneo, si Kim Chiu, si Gerald Anderson. Bale ako ‘yung step son ni Albert. Ibang-iba sa Tayong Dalawa. Ibang istorya, ibang character naman ang gagawin ko dito. Sana abangan nila kasi isang napakagandang soap opera rin po ito gaya ng Tayong Dalawa,” tapos ni Coco.

Kim Chiu is overwhelmed by the support and loyalty of her fans

2009-11-29T23:40:00.000-08:00

Lubos ang success na tinatamasa ngayon ng Pinoy Big Brother first Teen Edition Big Winner na si Kim Chiu. Sobrang busy ngayon ang schedule ni Kim dahil kaliwa’t kanan ang kanyang mga proyekto. Sa ngayon, ginagawa na ni Kim ang next teleserye niya with onscreen partner Gerald Anderson at Kris Aquino, ang Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo. In the works na rin ang second solo movie nila ni Gerald, ang Paano na Kaya due next year. Kakaibang Kim naman ang mapapanood sa pelikulang I Love You, Goodbye na official entry ng Star Cinema sa Metro Manila Film Festival this Christmas.

Ayon nga kay Kim, isang malaking career move ang ginawa niya sa pangtanggap sa role niya sa I Love You, Goodbye. “Kahit ako nagdalawang isip ako kung tatanggapin ko ito o hindi kasi natatakot talaga ako na sobrang maldita. Galit siya sa lahat ng bagay, eh. Hindi ko naman laging ginagawa ‘yun,” ani Kim. Kasama ni Kim sa pelikula sina Angelika Panganiban, Gabby Concepcion, Derek Ramsay, Angel Aquino, Matet de Leon, Ces Quesada, Joem Bascon, Chris Villanueva, Ketchup Eusebio and Janna Domingo sa ilalim ng direksyon ni Laurice Guillen.

May nagsasabi ring malaki ang tsansa ni Kim na manalo ng best supporting actress para sa nasabing pelikula subalit tumawa lamang ang aktres at sinabing malaking milagro ito kung mangyari man. Pero isa lang ang sigurado ng aktres, at ito ay ang libu-libong nagmamahal na fans sa kanilang dalawa ni Gerald. Kim is really grateful to the fans who support her ang Gerald tirelessly. Na-overwhelm din si Kim sa turnout ng text votes nang madeklara siyang Pop Cover Girl habang si Gerald ang nahirang na Pop Pin-up Boy sa ASAP Pop Awards. Sabi ni Kim, “Sa Pop Awards ang tataas ng votes namin sobra sa text votes, alam ko dahil sa kanila ‘yon.”

Nakalaban ni Kim sa nasabing katergorya sina Angel Locsin, KC Concepcion at Cristine Reyes habang kasamang na-nominado ni Gerald sina Xian Lim, Ejay Falcon at Mark Bautista.

Kim Chiu for I Love You Goodbye

2009-11-27T02:53:00.001-08:00

Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, and Zanjoe Marudo headline ‘Pinoy Big Brother Magazine’

2009-11-23T01:24:00.000-08:00

Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, and Zanjoe Marudo are on the cover of the Pinoy Big Brother Magazine special. The issue looks back on their days as housemates inside Kuya’s house and recounts their respective journeys to stardom.

Kim bested thousands of adolescents to claim the title of Teen Big Winner of the first Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition in 2006. Life before PBB was a challenge for this Fil-Chinese lass from Cebu. Back then many of her relatives would belittle her for her looks and talents. Kim won the hearts of many as she braved every challenge thrown at her by Kuya inside the house. “’Yung mga taong hindi naniniwala sa akin bago ako pumasok sa Bahay ni Kuya, nandun sa audience at pumapalakpak sa akin.” In the years that followed her PBB win, Kim has blossomed into a young woman with a stellar showbiz career. With a bestselling album, hit soaps (the most recent of which was Tayong Dalawa with her ka-love team Gerald), the once timid girl has grown into showbiz’s most in-demand young actress.

Gerald, who came in in third place to Kim, became popular as her dashing prince during their stay inside the PBB house. The Amboy cutie from General Santos City, who back then was more fluent in English and Bisaya than in Tagalog, was one of the last to show up for the Manila leg of the Teen Edition auditions. Gerald soon emerged as one of the most sought after male stars of today. “Dati nasa background lang ako at ang isinisigaw ng mga tao, ‘yung pangalan ni Kuya Joross Gamboa (he was once Joross’s back up dancer. Joross eventually convinced him to join showbiz). Pagharap ko sa audience, pangalan ko na ang isinisigaw nila. Kakaibang high.”

Gerald did a slew of successful teleseryes and a few movies with Kim. But aside from being known as Kim’s leading man, he also managed to make a name for himself. He played Tiagong Akyat in the initial offering of Agimat: Ang mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla Sr. series. Gerald was hailed as this year’s sexiest bachelor and even bagged a Star Awards Best Actor nomination for his performance in Your Song presents My Only Hope.

Zanjoe was already a ramp, print, and commercial model when he joined Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition in 2006. But as he took on every task as Kuya’s housemate, the moreno hunk proved to viewers that he is just a simple and humble man. PBB opened doors of opportunities for Zanjoe, and after becoming the Fourth Celebrity Placer in the competition, he fulfilled his dream of crossing over into acting. This year alone he played a leading man in four teleseryes, the latest being top rater Lovers in Paris.

He also has no qualms making a fool out of himself in the gag show Banana Split with fellow PBB alumni John Prats and Jayson Gainza. PBB Business Unit Head Lauren Dyogi said of Zanjoe’s flair for comedy, “I never thought he could be funny. Nung una naming siyang ini-interview, mukha siyang serious. Sa loob ng bahay, he was always quiet, kaya nung nag-comedy siya nagulat din ako.”

Coco Martin admits Tonyong Bayawak is a different kind of challenge for him

2009-11-20T23:55:00.001-08:00

While Coco Martin is proud to have been chosen to play Tonyong Bayawak, he admitted that he is also nervous since Gerald Anderson and Jolo Revilla were so successful in their respective chapters of Agimat: Ang Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla Sr. “Ako medyo nagwo-worry ako kasi after ni Gerald, successful ‘yung Tiagong Akyat, then si Jolo, Pepeng Agimat, eh ako yung susunod. Sana tangkilikin din siya ng mga tao. Ako naman gusto ko kahit papaano hindi man sila (Tiagong Akyat and Pepeng Agimat) mapantayan, huwag lang sobrang baba kasi nahihiya naman ako sa management ‘pag hindi siya pumick up,” said Coco.

The Prince of Indie films said that he enjoys the new challenge Tonyong Bayawak gives him, but that he feels the pressure to meet the expectations of fans, management, and his director. “Mahirap kasi si Direk Don-Don (Santos) mabusising director and ‘yung requirements niya sobrang taas. Kasi ito bago sakin, action na fantaserye. Sanay ako sa mundo na drama lalo na sa atake ng pag-arte pero si Direk, hindi naman niya ako pinapabayaan. Meron din naman akong mga training na hands-on kay Direk, sinu-supervise niya talaga lahat ng ginagawa namin. Lahat talaga pinaghandaan eh, matindi yung preparations, sa prosthetics and make-up, maganda at nakakabilib talaga.”

Describing his character in one word, Coco replied, “Hero. Siguro sabi nga nila sa aming apat sa akin yung pinakamalalim yung storya kasi kasi may part na revenge. Malalim siya in a sense na realistic, hindi siya basta lang adventure. Ito yung mga pelikula ni Ramon Revilla na talagang makatotohanan ang storya then nagkataon na nagkaroon siya ng powers at ‘yun ‘yung ginamit niya para makapagligtas kahit gusto niya makaganti ‘yung power niya nagamit niya rin sa kabutihan.”

Ping Medina says Gerald Anderson has proven his worth in Tayong Dalawa

2009-10-27T03:52:00.000-07:00

After playing the sidekick of Coco Martin in Tayong Dalawa, Ping Medina is now busy taping for his new role as the arch-nemesis of Jolo Revilla in the upcoming action series Ang Alamat Ni Ramon Revilla Presents: Pepeng Agimat. “Ako dito si Lucio, isa siyang aswang na brother ni Melissa (Ricks). Ang mother namin ay si Ms. Shamaine (Buencamino). Bale pamilya kami ng mga aswang. May-ari kami ng isang resort na may power sa lugar nila,” he said in an interview with ABS-CBN.com.

The 26-year-old actor is looking forward to his fight scenes with Jolo who shed 30 pounds for this project. “Reading-ready na ako for the fight scenes. Tsaka gusto ko yung role kasi aswang na nagtatago amidst human beings. Sobrang naeenjoy ko ngayon yung ganong roles, powerful at the same time medyo twisted yung pag-uutak. Kasi usually ang mga roles na binibigay sa akin brooding or paawa effect. So medyo nagsawa na ako sa ganon. Gusto ko ng change at sakto dumating naman.”

Playing Nico Valencia in Tayong Dalawa was actually his first major kontrabida role and he was glad that it turned out to be an enjoyable experience. “Nung umpisa parang small role lang siya. Akala balisong-balisong gang lang ako dun. Okay lang sa akin. Inenjoy ko lang yung time sa set at pinaglaruan ko lang yung character, sinubukan ko lang palalimin. Eventually, swinerte naman at nagustuhan din naman ng mga tao,” he fondly recalled.

As one of the most versatile character-actors of his generation, ABS-CBN.com asked for Ping’s opinion regarding Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson’s dramatic portrayals in Tayong Dalawa. He agreed that the two improved a lot while doing the much-celebrated primetime soap. “‘Yan si Kim magaling na ‘yan e. Si Gerald he's getting there. But I really admire the dedication of Gerald. Alam nating lahat sa Tayong Dalawa, he had his moments. When he had to deliver, he delivered. I’m very happy for him kasi now, he's not just a pretty face. He has shown that he can do something with his acting. I’m looking forward to see how they would progress in their future projects.”

The whole cast of Tayong Dalawa was challenged to give their best shot in every scene that they do out of respect for each other’s talent. “Oo lahat e. Kasi grabe kapag pumunta ka sa set, from the director to the producer, lahat talaga sila patalbugan. Grabe yung energy e. Manhid ka na lang kung hindi ka mahawa sa energy nila. Napapasabay ka. So naghihilahan kaming lahat like sina Coco, sila Alessandra de Rossi na mas palagi kong kasama sa mga eksena,” Ping shared.

Watch out for Ping Medina in Pepeng Agimat very soon on ABS-CBN.

Jake Cuenca is happy with how people still rave about ‘Tayong Dalawa’

2009-10-26T03:42:00.000-07:00

Although Tayong Dalawa ended last month, actor Jake Cuenca admits that until now, followers of the show melt his heart every time they come up to him to say how much they loved the show.” Sobra nami -miss ko talaga ang Tayong Dalawa but at the same time I'm still sobrang appreciative kasi tuwing nagma -mall show kami at nagto -tour kami, parang until now nagra -rave pa rin 'yung mga tao about the show and we're all very, very proud of everything that Tayong Dalawa accomplished. We even won an award sa Catholic Mass Media Awards so kung baga fresh pa rin si Dave (his role in the show) and ' yung Tayong Dalawasa mga tao."

When he was asked if he wants to have a second season for the show, he said," Sana. Let's see in the future. Definitely ako, I'd love to work again with Gerald and Kim and Ms. Cherry Pie Picache, Ms. Agot Isidro but for me tama lang na we'll be doing other things muna for now then maybe in the future, let's see."

Meanwhile, there are rumors that he will be teamed-up again with his ex-girlfriend Roxanne Guinoo. ABS-CBN.com asked Jake is he is still willing to work with her again. "No problem, sa akin naman I'm always open to working with Roxanne, hopefully it happens in the future." Jake is currently taping for Rubi, with Angelica Panganiban and Diether Ocampo. Jake said that his role in Rubi is very different from his role in Tayong Dalawa.

On the other hand, Jake will be participating in Star Magic’s concert at the Araneta Coliseum this coming November which will benefit the victims of Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng. "This is another charity event by Star Magic para sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo. Talagang nakaka -touch and napaka -caring ng Abs-cbn. This is a TV network pero alam mo yung grabe 'yung effort na ginagawa nila para sa mga tao. Ako, sobrang naa -appreciate ko talaga 'yung ginagawa ng Abs-cbn tsaka alam mo yung medyo matagal na yung panahon na lumipas pagtapos ng Ondoy pero alam mo yung hanggang ngayon continuous pa rin 'yung pagtulong."

To help out in his own little way, Jake reveals he also donated a bag in Angel Locsin's shopandshare.ph charity auction. "I auctioned one of my bags that I used in Tayong Dalawa. It's a Gucci bag so hopefully makatulong talaga ako kahit sa maliit na paraan through the proceeds. Ang sa akin naman it's really for a good cause so kung kaya ko tumulong tutulong talaga ako. I wanted to donate something big at least medyo malaking pera babalik sa kanila. Sana maraming mag- bid ."

Gerald Anderson to portray a teenager with Tourette Syndrome in Maalaala Mo Kaya

2009-10-21T01:22:00.000-07:00

Perfect choice si Gerald Anderson para gumanap sa isang mapaghamong role sa isang espesyal na episode ng Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK) sa ABS-CBN. Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon ay gagampanan ni Gerald ang role ng isang may Tourette Syndrome (TS) sa una niyang paglabas sa longest and most awarded drama anthology on television. “Nung sinabi pa lang sa akin, na-excite na ako. Tapos nung binasa ko ‘yung script lalo ako’ng kinabahan. Pero alam mo sana lang magawa ko ito ng maayos at sana magustuhan ni Jerome (Concepcion, letter sender sa MMK na may (TS) ang gagawin ko’ng pagganap sa kanya at makapagbigay inspirasyon lalo na sa mga taong may TS,” bungad ni Gerald.

Personal na na-meet ni Gerald si Jerome sa isinagawang briefing ng staff ng “Maalaala Mo Kaya” na ginanap sa Bagoong Republic last Friday, Oktubre 16. Present doon ang direktor ng episode na si Ruel Bayani, scriptwriters ng MMK, si Jerome at ang kanyang ina na si Criselda Concepcion. Nandun din ang President ng Philippine Tourette Syndrome Association (PTSA) president na si Rowena Victorino at ang vice-president na si Marlon Barnuevo. Member ng bandang 3rd Avenue si Marlon na meron ding TS.

Para sa kaalaman ng iba, ang TS ay isang hereditary na sakit na may kombinasyon ng ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsiveness, at neuro-behavorial complex. Sa murang edad ay nagmamanifest agad ito sa pamamagitan ng tics (involuntary sounds or movements such as eye-poking, coughing, head-banging etc.) na mas lalong nagiging kapansin-pansin kung ang pasyente ay under stress. Ngunit kadalasan ay namimisinterpret lang ito na simpleng kakulitan ng bata kaya hindi agad nada-diagnose na TS.

“Nu’ng una, alam mo ‘yung…parang nakakakawa. Pero kapag nakita mo, kapag nakausap mo siya (Jerome), confident siya. Kumbaga, hindi naging sagabal ‘yung sakit niya sa kanya. Ganun si Jerome,” kwento ni Gerald. Ano ang na-feel niya nung nalaman niya na siya ang napili para gumanap sa katauhan ni Jerome sa MMK? “Iba,” diin ni Gerald. “Sobrang nakakataba pa rin ng puso. Nakaka-inspire dahil yun nga sa dinami-dami (ng artista) ako ang pinili. Ipagdadasal ko na lang na magawa ko ito ng mabuti.”

Very challenging kay Gerald ang character na gagampanan niya kaya talagang pag-aaralan daw niya ito ng maigi. “Sa internet papanoorin ko lang tapos sasabihin nila kung ano ang mga symptoms at kung bakit nangyayari ito. And yun nga, minsan nangyayari ‘yan umpisa pa lang sa bata. Pagdating mo ng 18 years old lumalala.” Sa initial na pagkikita pa lang ba nila ni Jerome naisip na ba niya kung paano niya aatakihin ang role? “Sampol? Hahaha! Naku, huwag muna sampol. Biglaan naman,” nakangiting sabi ni Gerald. “Basta alam ko ibang klaseng experience ito. Sobrang malaking tulong talaga sa akin na nakita ko siya ngayon ng personal, kung paano siyia gumagalaw, kung paano siya nagsasalita, kung paano siya nag-iisip, ‘yung mga sinasabi niya.”

Kahit na noon lang niya nakilala si Jerome at ang ina nito ay naramdaman daw ni Gerald ang labis na paghihirap na pinagdadaanan ng kanilang pamilya. “Hindi biro ang pinagdadaanan nila dahil yung isa pang kapatid ni Jerome may TS din. Pero nakikita ko na very supportive ang mommy niya sa kanya. Tanggap (ni Mommy Criselda) yung kahinaan ng anak niya at kahit ano’ng mangyari nandu’n pa rin siya.”

Sa huli ay nagbigay na lang ng mensahe si Gerald sa mga avid viewers ng MMK. “Sana sa episode na ‘yun ma-inspire ko ang mga tao kahit yung walang TS na wag bibitiw sa kanilang mga pangarap kahit ano pang hadlang ang dumating sa kanilang buhay,” tapos ni Gerald.

Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu says tys tare not out to compete with other ABS-CBN prime artists

2009-10-20T01:17:00.000-07:00

The phenomenal success of Tayong Dalawa has solidified Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson’s tandem as the hottest love team in showbiz today. Kim and Gerald are already preparing for their movie to be shown in January 2010 with a guest appearance on Maalaala Mo Kaya very soon. But even with all the projects coming their way, they insist that they are not out to compete with the other prime artists of Star Magic. “Naku, nakakahiya, hindi naman. Lahat naman kami importante kay Mr. M. (Johnny Manahan) Lahat kami gini-groom niya ng pantay-pantay. Nagpapasalamat lang ako sa lahat ng patuloy sumusuporta sa akin. At sana by 2010 suportahan nila yung movie namin ni Gerald,” Kim said in an interview with ABS-CBN.com.

Gerald, on the other hand, was very happy that they have both been given opportunities to take their showbiz careers to the next level. “It’s overwhelming. Sobrang nakakainspire dahil siyempre kung ganon ang tiwala nila sa ’yo dapat gawin mo talaga lahat para abutin yung expectations nila. I’m just very happy dahil mas malalim na yung tiwala nila sa amin ni Kim.”

Since their film is going to be a romantic-comedy, there are already speculations as to whether they can surpass the box office team-up of John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo in You Change My Life. When asked if they are ready to take on that challenge, the young actor explained that he and Kim would rather focus on putting their best foot forward than think of such rivalry issues. “Salamat sa pressure ha,” Gerald laughed. “Hindi, sa amin naman ni Kim gusto lang namin gawin talaga yung lahat. Pag-aaralan namin ito. Ibibigay namin yung 100% namin. Wala namang rivalry with John Lloyd [or Sarah]. Basta may trabaho kami ni Kim, masaya na kami.”

Gerald further shared that their roles would be more mature than the ones they portrayed in the movie I’ve Fallen For You two years ago. But it still remains to be seen whether there would be a big screen follow-up of their love scene in Tayong Dalawa. “Hindi ko pa alam. Kung gagawa man kami ng love scene alangan namang tanggihan ko, siyempre gumawa na kami ng love scene sa soap. Pero kung gagawa man kami ulit, siyempre dapat mas maganda sa movie.”

Kim went on to assure their fans, “Sa ngayon hindi pa namin pwedeng idetalye kung ano yung roles namin ni Gerald. Basta ito ang maipapangako namin sa mga Kimerald, wala kaming love triangle kaya solong-solo naming dalawa ito. Sobrang nakakakilig, nakakatawa, at maiiyak ka sa storya. Lahat mararamdaman mo dito sa movie. Tapos nagworkshop kami kahapon, sobrang ganda, kaya excited na talaga kaming maihandog sa inyo ito.”

Gerald Anderson is ready to do another love scene with Kim Chiu

2009-10-15T09:11:00.001-07:00

Gerald Anderson was one of the Star Magic artists who walked the ramp in the Magic for a Cause fashion show last October 11 for the benefit of the victims of Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. In an interview with ABS-CBN.com, Gerald shared how happy he was to be a part of the charity show. “It feels good because it gives us an opportunity para makatulong pa sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo. Kahit nga nakatulong na ako noon, hindi tayo dapat tumigil sa pagtulong dahil marami pa rin ang naghihirap ngayon after the calamity.” Gerald wore a creation by renowned designer Inno Sotto who also made the suit that the young actor wore in last August’s Star Magic Ball.

Gerald was also recently hailed the sexiest man in the country by a popular magazine. In spite of this recognition, the Fil-American cutie from General Santos City confessed he still feels shy about taking his shirt off. “Kahit maraming nagsasabi na maganda na ‘yung katawan ko nahihiya pa rin ako. Hindi pa rin ako comfortable maghubad.”

After the successful teleserye Tayong Dalawa, Gerald’s next project with his ka-love team Kim Chiu will be a movie with Star Cinema. ABS-CBN.com asked Gerald if he is ready to do another love scene with Kim just like they did in Tayong Dalawa. “Tingnan natin kung mas daring pa sa love scene namin sa Tayong Dalawa. Ayaw naman naming ulitin kung ano ‘yung nagawa na namin. Game ako sa love scene pero sana maganda pa rin ‘yung labas sa screen.” Details about the movie are still under wraps and all that the 20-year-old actor would share was that the film will be a big treat to all the loyal “Kimerald” fans. “Maraming dapat abangan sa movie namin ni Kim. Ipinapangako namin sa lahat ng fans na kikiligin sila,” he said.

After the movie, Gerald and Kim will start taping for their next teleserye which will also star Kris Aquino. Gerald said that he hopes this project will push through because he is excited to be working with the Queen of All Media. “I hope so matuloy. I’m very excited to be working with her. Wala pa ngang concept. Ako nga nagulat sa The Buzz nung sinabi niyang kasama pala siya. Sana talaga matuloy ‘yung teleserye na ‘yun.”

On the relationship front, Gerald, who has been vocal about his courtship of Kim, still has to own up to rumors claiming that the two already have a serious commitment which they are keeping secret. “Ewan ko. Ano sa tingin niyo? Kami naman, what you see is what you get. Basta happy kami ni Kim,” Gerald said.

Gerald Anderson on his love team with Kim Chiu: ‘Ang love team hindi forever andyan’

2009-10-08T02:08:00.000-07:00

Very vocal ever since sina Gerald Anderson at Kim Chiu sa estado ng relasyon nilang dalawa. Aminado ang dalawa sa bigat at pundasyon ng kanilang pagkakaibigan ay more than a mutual understanding na raw ang kanilang pagtitinginan. “Yeah! Hahaha! Oo nga eh! Sabi ko nga, sana, tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang lahat sa amin ni Kim kahit wala na kami sa iisang teleserye. ‘Yun na lang munang ASAP every Sunday.This time, siguro, dito na rin masusukat 'yung pagiging magkaibigan namin ni Kim,” paglalahad ni Gerald sa ABS-CBN.com.

Papano niya kaya haharapin ang isang sitwasyong baka pagdating ng araw ay mapunta lang din sa wala ang pinaka-iingatan nilang binuong friendship lalo na ngayong madalas ay hindi na sila magkakasama at magkikita? “Huwag naman sana. Basta't naipangako naming dalawa ni Kim na tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang communications namin at magkikita pa rin naman kami at saka 'yung communication namin, always namang nandiyan eh,” sabi pa ni Gerald. Senyales na ba itong kailangan niya na ring mag-move-on ng solo para na rin sa kanyang showbiz career? “Yung love team naman po kasi, hindi naman 'yan forever nandiyan eh. Maybe yes o maybe not. Hindi ko pa talaga masasabi sa ngayon.”

Isa lamang si Gerald Anderson sa mga male actors natin ngayon na nag-umpisa sa telebisyon ang patuloy na pinupuri dahil hasang-hasa na rin ito ngayon sa kanyang pag-arte. Saan nga ba humuhugot si Gerald ng kanyang emosyon? “Sa totoo lang po, naging malaking factor po talaga sa akin 'yung halos ten months kong pagti-taping for Tayong Dalawa.Yung mga nakasama kong mga artista, mga directors po namin.Siguro, dahil sa mahal na mahal ko rin po talaga ang work ko as an actor that in every project po na ginagawa ko, always kong binibigay ang best ko, kasi, ganoon din ang trust na binibigay sa akin ng ABS.(CBN). Kailangang as an actor, gawin mo at ipakita mo sa mga taong nagbigay ng kanilang tiwala sa'yo na kaya mo ang ginagawa mo at pagbutihin mo," kwento pa ni Gerald.

Wala pang kumpirmasyon mula sa pamunuan ng ABS-CBN kung kailan officially ipapalabas sa local TV ang isang teleseryeng muling pagtatambalan nila ni Kim Chiu. Isang love story na silang dalawa lamang ang bida. “Actually, nabanggit na rin po nila sa akin. Kahit wala pa man, actually, nakaka-excite siya. Wala pa po talaga akong masyadong alam sa project na 'yan that's why I cannot elaborate pa. So, ayun, sana,” tugon nito. Anu-ano namang pinagkakaabalahan niya ngayon? “Ayun po, tuloy-tuloy pa rin po ang Agimat, Tiagong Akyat namin at nagso-shooting ng movie, wala pa pong definite title. Basta, may drama, may action, may kilig. Nagpapasalamat pa rin po ako sa Diyos dahil tuloy-tuloy pa rin po akong may ginagawa," pagtatapos ni Gerald.

Kim Chiu admits she’s worried about her new movie role

2009-10-08T02:06:00.000-07:00

Kim Chiu steps out of her comfort zone in her next film, I Love You, Goodbye where she will portray a role unlike the ones she has played before. “’Yung role ko do’n sobrang na-challenge ako, sobrang kakaiba,” she revealed. “Sinasabi ko sa director namin na si Direk Laurice (Guillen), ‘Direk, tulungan n’yo ako. Sabihin n’yo sa akin kung tama.’ Kasi medyo may pagka-bad, brat at may dark side [‘yung character]. Tinutulangan naman ako. Sana lang maganda ‘yung kalalabasan.”

She also admitted being worried that her fans might not appreciate her new character. “Ang layo-layo as Audrey [sa Tayong Dalawa]. Ang layo-layo as Kim kasi isa siyang brat na nang-aaway. Sabi ko baka magalit ‘yung mga tao. So parang natatakot ako na gawin ko ‘yung role.” But she added that her role has depth and there’s a reason for her character’s hostility.

The movie is Star Cinema’s official entry for the Metro Manila Film Festival and is top-billed by Gabby Concepcion, Angelica Panganiban, and Derek Ramsay who will play Kim’s love interest. She also shared that that there was pressure from having to act with some of today’s most versatile actors. “First time ko silang makakasama. Siyempre kinabahan ako.”

The film marks Kim’s first major acting project without Get Ge Anderson as her onscreen partner so Kim was initially uncomfortable with Derek. She explained, “’Yung love interest ko sa movie si Derek so parang nahihiya ako. Nahihiya akong lumapit sa kanya siyempre hindi kami masyadong close. Sa movie lang kami nagkikita tapos ‘pag hahawak-hawakan ko siya parang nakakahiya.” She eventually got over the uneasiness when she got to know the actor more.

Meanwhile, it was reported last October 5 that Kim and Gerald will be making a movie together slated to be Star Cinema’s initial offering for 2010.

Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson will do a movie for 2010

2009-10-07T03:16:00.000-07:00

Last October 5, Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson confirmed to some members of the press that they will be doing a movie together in 2010, one which is slated to be Star Cinema’s first offering for the year. Although the two were discreet about the storyline, they did say that the film will be a shift from the romantic-dramas they have done in the past. “Sobrang na-excite kami nung narinig namin ‘yung kuwento kasi iba siya sa Tayong Dalawa at kakaibang challenge na naman ito para sa amin,” Gerald began. “Mas mature siyempre pero kung sa Tayong Dalawa puro drama, dito [sa movie] pinapangako naming kikiligin talaga kayo.” Kim hinted that the film will be a romantic-comedy. “Masaya kami dito, tatawa kami, magbibiruan kami and after I’ve Fallen For You (their launching movie in 2007), level up na naman sa amin ito kasi mas mature para sa aming dalawa.”

They both shared that they felt excited when they were informed about the project because they are sure it will make their fans happy after reports that their team-up would be given a rest. “Akala ko paghihiwalayin na ‘yung love team namin pero dahil sa mga fans na patuloy na sumusuporta sa amin, binigyan kami ng movie for 2010,” Kim said.

Fresh from their just concluded TV hit series Tayong Dalawa, Kim and Gerald explained that working together makes their job easier since they are comfortable with one another. Just recently, the two have started making projects separately; Gerald is currently featured as Tiagong Akyat in Agimat: Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla, with Erich Gonzales as his leading lady, while Kim will soon appear in the film top-billed by Gabby Concepcion and Angelica Panganiban, I Love You, Goodbye. Kim’s leading man in the said movie is Derek Ramsay. “Siyempre kahit papaano miss namin ang isat-isa dahil for three years, lagi kaming magkasama at lagi kaming magkatrabaho,” explained Kim.

With Tayong Dalawa’s success, Kim admitted that they feel pressured to come up with a quality film, as always is the case every time they work on a project. “Lagi naman pong may pressure sa lahat ng ginagawa namin. Laging may kaba sa amin kung magugustuhan siya ng tao kaya gagawin namin ang lahat ng makakaya namin. ‘Yung nakita nila sa Tayong Dalawa, mas dodoblehin namin,” Kim assured.

Jake Cuenca denies getting Melissa Ricks pregnant

2009-10-07T03:15:00.000-07:00

Nitong nakaraang linggo, isang kontrobersyal na bulung-bulungan ang lumabas na nagsasabing nagdadalang-tao di umano si ang aktres na si Melissa Ricks. Kanina sa SNN, nagbigay na ng pahayag ang dalaga kaugnay ng isyung ito kasabay ng mariing pagtangi sa kumakalat na espekulasyon. “Siguro yung damit na sinuot ko noon unflattering or busog lang ako” tatawa-tawang haka pa niya sa maaaring pinagmulan ng nasabing kontrobersya.

Maging ang nali-link sa dalaga na si Jake Cuenca ay nagpaunlak rin ng pahayag ukol sa naturang isyu, lalo pa’t ilang araw matapos sumabog ang nasabing intriga ay mabilis nadawit ang pangalan niya. Sinasaad kasi ng follow-up ng nasabing balita na siya ang ama ng di umano’y nasa sinapupunan ni Melissa. Paggigiit nga ng binata, “Hindi naman talaga ako naniwala... Melissa is a very fine, she’s a very fine young lady... Imposible naman [na ako maging ama kung sakaling totoo] kasi magkaibigan lang talaga kami ni Mel... I’m here to defend her as a friend.”

Gerald Anderson finally speaks about his celebrated heroic act

2009-10-06T02:46:00.000-07:00

Matapos ang mabilis na pagkalat ng balita kaugnay ng ipinamalas niyang kabayanihan noong kasagsagan ng Bagyong Ondoy sa subdibisyon nila sa Vista Real Classica sa Quezon City, kanina ay nagsalita na rin sa SNN si Gerald Anderson patungkol dito.

Wala di umanong kamalay-malay si Gerald na habang sumusuong siya sa rumaragasang baha’y kinukuhaan siya ng litrato ng ilang mga kapitbahay niya. Ani pa niya, ang pinaka-concern lamang daw niya noong mga oras na iyo’y masigurong ligtas sa kapahamakan ang mga nakatira sa kalapit-bahay gayong delikado na talaga ang sitwasyon. Kaya naman nang marinig niya ang malawakang pagbabahagi ng isang nagpapasalamat na kapitbahay, sadyang hindi raw niya maiwasang makaramdam ng lubos na pagtaba ng puso.

Isang honor daw sa parte niya ang mabigyan ng pagkakataong tumulong sa mga nangangailangan. At kaugnay ng ngayo’y laganap na pagtingin sa kanya ng publiko bilang bayani, agad namang nagbigay ng isang mapagkumbabang mensahe ang binata sa lahat. “Gusto ko po i-clear out yung tuwing tinatawag akong hero or bayani; nakakahiya talaga kasi yung mga tunay na heroes o bayani andiyan sila sa labas ngayon, yung mga tumutulong ngayon.”

Jake Cuenca is willing to be a houseguest in ‘Pinoy Big Brother Double Up’

2009-10-04T02:36:00.000-07:00

Now that a new season of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) has begun, viewers are already wondering who among the Kapamilya celebrities will become a houseguest following the likes of Mariel Rodriguez, Toni Gonzaga, and Luis Manzano among others. During a recent interview with ABS-CBN.com, Jake Cuenca admitted that not only is he willing to visit the PBB house, but that he almost became a celebrity housemate as well. “I was actually invited right before I did Palos. I think that was the batch of Baron Geisler, Jon Avila, Victor Basa, and Will Devaughn. I was going to do it kasi I wanted to experience PBB,” he recalled.

Unfortunately, he had to choose between joining PBB and a starring role in Palos. “Alam mo naman ako sobrang love ko ang acting. At the same time, that was my first time na magbida sa kahit anong programa. That was a big break for me. So I chose Palos. Pero yung challenge na makasama sa PBB, I’m all for that kasi I love challenges e.” As a self-confessed fan of the show, the dashing actor claimed that he wouldn’t mind entering the PBB house as long as his schedule would allow him to do so. “Nothing has changed. I’m still up for it. Tuwing nanonood ako ng PBB sobrang interested talaga ako sa mga activities nila sa loob. But right now siyempre with the roles that I am portraying, ayokong iwan ang mga responsibilidad ko. Gusto ko ipagpatuloy ang nasimulan ko sa Tayong Dalawa,” he explained.

If there’s one person he could choose to bring with him inside the house, it would be his former Tayong Dalawa co-star Coco Martin who became one of his closest friends. “Siguro si Coco para tingnan namin kung anong klaseng kabalastugan ang gagawin namin dun,” he added with a laugh.

Watch out for Pinoy Big Brother Double Up starting tonight on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida.

Tayong Dalawa farewell party

Jake Cuenca says that Roxanne Guinoo has never been ‘pasaway’

2009-10-02T06:44:00.000-07:00

Jake Cuenca and Roxanne Guinoo may have already broken up, but the two are waiting for the chance to work together again in a dramatic soap similar to Sineserye Presents Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos, which shot them both to stardom back in 2007. Watching the replay of their Pregnancy Kit episode in Maalaala Mo Kaya last Saturday, September 26, further reminded Jake that he and Roxanne really complement each other when it comes to acting on TV. “I don’t know if you were able to watch it but we taped that a long time ago. It was the first MMK episode for 2009. Actually sobrang vinavalue ko yung team up namin kasi no one knows me better than Roxanne. Tsaka siyempre iba yung love team na yun para sa aming dalawa e. That love team was really the one that gave us our first acting break and we had lots of good times together back then,” he said in an interview with ABS-CBN.

The former Tayong Dalawa heartthrob further shared that he wants to keep his friendship with Roxanne just like what happened between ex-lovers Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa. “Sobra! Like what I said kanina, she was a very big part of my career. And ang sa akin, to do a project with her again would be very good. Sana nga magkaroon ng opportunity na magka-soap kaming dalawa kung kakayanin. To go back to that time when we were first paired with each other? I’m sure Jericho and Kristine feel the same way. Yung magkikita kayongdalawa na mas mature na kayo, moving on in life na kayo. Sa totoo lang I’m a better actor when I act with her. She knows how to [bring out the best in me],” he recalled.

Jake also defended Roxanne on the issue where she was called a pasaway by some members of the entertainment press. “I was actually very, very shocked with that issue kasi that’s not really Roxanne e. Maybe she's going through stuff kaya nangyari yung nangyari. But no, isa siyang professional na artista. I have to give it to her. Halos karamihan ng natutunan ko about my work, I learned from her. I mean she was really a very influential person in my life and in my career. Maybe she was just misunderstood or her words were taken out of context. Hindi ako naniniwala na ganon si Roxanne,” he stressed.

As a good friend, Jake can’t help but be concerned about Roxanne whenever things go wrong in her life but he also respects the fact that Roxanne has a boyfriend who takes good care of her now. “No I wasn’t able to text her. Siyempre Roxanne has a boyfriend, super nirerespeto ko ‘yan. And I’m so happy na she found the person who loves her the way she deserves to be loved. If I were to ask how she is, maybe if I see her in person na lang, na hindi naman malabo mangyari kasi pareho naman kaming nandito sa ABS-CBN,” he explained.

Coco Martin says he will remain an indie actor despite his TV success

2009-10-02T06:41:00.000-07:00

Coco Martin may have finally gotten his wish to penetrate TV mainstream, but clarified that he will remain an indie actor. Even with a busy schedule due to upcoming TV projects, Coco said that he will find time for an indie project if he is offered a good role. “If ever may magandang proyekto at alam kong maayos ang mga katrabaho ko, never kong hihindian ‘yan. Hangga’t makakakaya ko at maisisingit ko sa schedule ko, gagawin at gagawin ko,” he said.

Coco justified that while mainstream projects give him the chance to save up and enjoy popularity, acting in indie films gives him fulfillment as an actor. “Kumbaga hindi mo ito ginagawa for the sake na kumita ka, ginagawa mo ito dahil gusto mo ang trabahong ito at nirerespeto mo ‘yung propesyon mo,” he shared.

He also pointed out that if it were not for his being an indie actor, his acting skills may not have been noticed and he may not have penetrated the mainstream at all. As he put it, “Dala ng mga karanasan ko kung saan ako nanggaling, kumbaga malalim ang pinaghuhugutan ko. Malalim ‘yung karanasan ko kaya siguro para sa akin mas naa-appreciate ng mga manonood kung anuman ‘yung trabahong pinagpapaguran ko.”

Coco shared that his work an actor in TV and in indie films allows him versatility as a performer, something which he considers his advantage over other actors. “Siguro para sa akin ito na ‘yung time para makapag-adjust kasi iba naman ang indie at mainstream. Ito ‘yung blessings at ayoko namang tanggihan,” he shared. “Basta lagi ko na lang iniisip na dapat pagbutihan ko kasi baka mamaya ito na ‘yung last ko eh.”

While he might have a younger audience for his TV projects, Coco projects a bolder image in indie films. “Para sa akin magkaiba ang audience ng TV atsaka movie, lalo na sa indie,” he justified. “Parang ayoko namang mag-set ng limitations, eh. Kapag inisip ko kasi ‘yon ako ang maaapektuhan as an actor. Maaapektuhan at mag-iiba ang trabaho ko.”

After being part of the successful teleserye Tayong Dalawa, Coco is busy taping for Agimat: Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla, reprising the role of Tonyong Bayawak and for Nagsimula sa Puso as Maja Salvador.

Jake Cuenca says he’s happy whenever he’s with Melissa Ricks

2009-10-01T08:07:00.000-07:00

After Jake Cuenca’s Kapamilya Live Chat on September 30, ABS-CBN.com had the chance to ask the actor about the real score between him and Melissa Ricks. When told that fans seem to be pleased at the thought of them as a couple, he admitted that it felt good to have Melissa by his side during the Sagip Kapamilya Telethon last Sunday, September 27. Those who have seen them off cam also said that their sweetness towards each other was undeniable. “Talaga? I have to say, siyempre, it made the telethon so much easier!” Jake laughed. ”Siyempre malulungkot ka sa mga sinasabi ng tao sa phone ‘di ba? Pero yun nga, magkasabay kami dumating because we came from a dance rehearsal for ASAP Full Circle. After the dance tinawag kami ni Mr. M (Johnny Manahan) to go there and nagkataon na nagkita kami [ni Melissa] dun,” he happily related.

But as much as he wants to get to know Melissa more, there are certain things he has to consider before he gets into a serious commitment again. “Siyempre ang sarap sarap talagang umibig. Pero at this point in time wala pa e. Nandun pa ako sa punto na I’m just here waiting. I don’t want to jump into things too soon because that’s what happened before [with Roxanne Guinoo] and obviously I wasn’t ready. Kumbaga I wasn’t armed with the knowledge I needed to make the relationship work out. And gusto ko yung next relationship na pasukin ko, gusto ko long term, gusto ko maging special talaga yun,” said the dashing actor.

ABS-CBN.com also asked if Melissa is the girl he thinks of every time he listens to his favorite song “Use Somebody” thrice a day? “Ay nako! Hahaha! You’ll never know,” he beamed. “I mean with me and Mel, we’re really just good friends. At the same time I’m not rushing e kasi she's she’s still very, very young. Ang dami pa niyang gusto ma-accomplish sa career niya. We’re both very busy e.”

In the meantime, he encouraged everyone to make a difference by helping victims of Typhoon Ondoy through Sagip Kapamilya’s relief operations. “Actually hindi ako masyado aware nung una kasi pagkagising ko brownout [sa bahay ko], tapos walang battery yung phone ko, so pagkakaalam ko lang may ulan. Pagtingin ko sa labas ng binatana wala namang baha, wala namang traffic. Kumbaga hindi ko alam na ganon na pala kalala yung sitwasyon hanggang sa nakauwi ako sa bahay ng lola ko. Kaya nung napanood ko yung news sa TV nagulat ako, dun ko nalaman na nagka-baha. Then the next day nagtelethon na kami for ABS-CBN,” he recalled.

But when he learned the gravity of what happened around the metro because of the typhoon, he immediately volunteered to pack relief goods at the Sagip Kapamilya center and to distribute them to evacuation centers. “The telethon was really an awakening for me that’s why I did what I did. Like I said, there were so many sad things I heard from the telethon and I was really affected by it. I really urge everyone to make an effort to help their fellow Filipinos because this is really the time for us na magkaisa at magtulungan,” he stated.

Gina Pareño says she is a solid Kapamilya

2009-09-30T06:51:00.000-07:00

When ABS-CBN Business Unit Head Deo Endrinal bade goodbye to the cast of Tayong Dalawa last September 25, he joked about Gina Pareño’s “secret meetings” with executives from the rival network. But Gina, who is already slated to be a part of Endrinal’s next project, assured everyone that she wasn’t jumping ship. “Eh siyempre kinakausap ako. Tsaka darling sa edad kong ito wala na akong contract contract. Pero siyempre I love working sa ABS-CBN. Definitely solidong kapamilya ako talaga. Hindi ako aalis,” she said in an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN.com.

Gina further shared that her home network has always trusted her with roles that are unforgettable, with her next teleserye starting by November. “Sa totoo lang mas nabigyan ako ng chance na makilala sa TV dahil sa Tayong Dalawa na kakatapos ko lang gawin. To the point na sa singkwentang katao, dalawa lang dun ang tumatawag sa akin ng Gina. Gusto ko naman yun, kaway pa ako ng kaway. Pati mga apo ko dati ang tawag sa akin ‘Momsie’ ngayon ‘Lola Gets’ na rin. Kaya naman buong puso akong nagpapasalamat sa pagkakataong ibinigay sa akin na magpasaya ng mga tao,” she proudly beamed.

Avid fans of Tayong Dalawa would also be interested to know that Gina and Coco Martin, who played her favorite grandson in the story, are genuinely close even off cam. “Siyempre mamimiss ko ‘yan si Coco, napakalambing at napakagaling na aktor niyan. At lahat kami dito, mapa-cast at mapa-crew, mamimiss ko kasi parang second family na namin ito eh,” she exclaimed.

Jake Cuenca prefers not to listen to his detractors

2009-09-30T06:49:00.000-07:00

Jake Cuenca believes he continues to get projects because he takes his craft seriously. In the face of criticisms directed towards him, Jake said that he would rather count his blessings instead. “I just feel very blessed. I’ve worked hard. Talagang I try to be as professional as I can be and lahat ng blessings talagang tsine-cherish ko, minahamal ko at binibigay ko ang sarili ko nang buong buo sa lahat ng proyekto ko,” he justified.

Jake added that the success he is enjoying right now is also because of his supporters, who inspire him to take his job to heart. “They are the ones who really believe in me and they were behind me all the way.” He further explained that he sees to it that he gives each role his best, whether big or small. He said, “I love my craft, my career. I am overwhelmed sa blessings.”

After Tayong Dalawa, Jake revealed that he is set to do a movie that will be an official entry in the Metro Manila Film Festival. He will also reprise the role of Elias Paniki in a TV adaptation for Agimat: Ang mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla and play Angelica Panganiban’s leading man in the adaptation of the Mexicanovela Rubi.

In the meantime, Jake will be spending his free time honing his acting skills. “I want to do workshops again. I want to continue to excel so nag-enroll ako ng workshops with either Direk Laurice (Guillen) or (veteran actor) Pen Medina. So I want to do that very, very soon. Siyempre gusto kong galingan pa lalo at gusto kong matuto,” he said. He added that he will resume work after he finishes the workshops.

Jake is also excited about going back to Spain to spend his birthday (December 30) with his family. This will be his first time to go back home after almost eight years. But before he leaves, the mestizo actor is planning to celebrate with his fans, friends, and family in the Philippines. “Sa totoo lang bago ako umalis, gusto ko talagang magpasabog kasi andami-daming blessings. Gusto kong isukli sa lahat ng tao ito. So I’d love to spend a day with the fans, I’d love to make a separate party for my family and my co-workers,” he disclosed.

TNS National TV Ratings (Sept. 25-28): Tayong Dalawa ends on top, Lovers In Paris opens modestly

2009-09-29T04:28:00.000-07:00

It's a sad but happy farewell for ABS-CBN's powerhouse drama series Tayong Dalawa, which was topbilled by Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu, and Jake Cuenca. After its eight-month run, Tayong Dalawa bid farewell last Friday, September 25, with a very strong 45.8 percent to lead all primetime programs.

This is according to the latest overnight ratings of Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) among national households.

Tayong Dalawa was replaced by the Pinoy adaptation of the hit Koreanovela Lovers In Paris, starring Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion. Its pilot episode generated a 27.4 percent rating to take the fourth slot in the primetime race, behind fellow Kapamilya programs TV Patrol World (35.7 percent), May Bukas Pa (31.8 percent), and Katorse (30.3 percent).

Two GMA-7 afternoon soaps also debuted yesterday: Kaya Kong Abutin ang Langit and Tinik Sa Dibdib. The two shows posted 11.5 percent and 11.4 percent ratings, respectively, to take 8th and 9th spots in the daytime race.

The effect of typhoon Ondoy was very evident in the ratings last Saturday (Sept. 26) and Sunday (Sept. 27). Because most of the areas did not have electric supply, the ratings of all programs went down. The regular programming of both ABS-CBN and GMA-7 had to be scrapped to give way to the latest updates on the typhoon that killed more than 100 people at the time.

Gerald Anderson is not expecting an acting award for Tayong Dalawa

2009-09-29T04:19:00.000-07:00

Gerald Anderson has definitely gone a long way since his days as a housemate of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition three years ago. After doing teleseryes and movies, the Fil-American cutie from General Santos City is now hailed as one of the ‘Princes of Primetime television.’ Gerald earned rave reviews for his portrayal of man in uniform David ‘JR’ Garcia Jr. in the top rating teleserye Tayong Dalawa. ABS-CBN.com spoke with Gerald during the farewell party for the teleserye last September 25 where he thanked all the viewers who made Tayong Dalawa a big success. “Sobrang nagpapasalamat po kami sa lahat ng mga loyal viewers dahil kung hindi sa inyo hindi magiging number one ang Tayong Dalawa. Thank you for continuously supporting the show at kami rin po. Mas nai-inspire kaming lahat na pagbutihin ‘yung ginagawa namin.”

The 20-year-old actor shed his boy-next-door image to play a more mature role in Tayong Dalawa. The move may be considered a big risk for young star like him, but with enough hard work and determination, Gerald’s gamble paid off as fans and critics are now calling him a ‘certified actor’ because of Tayong Dalawa. “Napakasarap na makarinig ng ganun. Dugo’t pawis din naman ang ibinigay ko dito sa Tayong Dalawa. Ang sarap ng feeling na finally kino-consider kang ganap na actor.” During the said farewell party, Gerald also earned acclaims from his Tayong Dalawa directors Ruel Bayani and Trina Dayrit and Business Unit Head Deo Endrinal.

As early as now, there are those who are predicting that Tayong Dalawa may bring Gerald his very first acting award. However, the young actor’s mind is not fixed solely on snatching a trophy. “Hindi natin masasabi kung magkaka-award nga ako. Hindi naman ako nage-expect. Basta ang importante sa akin nagagawa ko nang mahusay ‘yung trabaho ko and magandang lumalabas ‘yung project masaya na ako.”

Gerald also told ABS-CBN.com that he will surely miss playing JR Garcia. He said he hopes he get to do another character similar to JR or a teleserye in the same drama caliber as Tayong Dalawa. “Nasa puso ko na si JR forever. Playing the character is something I will miss very much. Wish ko nga sa susunod kong role ‘yung hindi malalayo sa character ni JR o sa theme ng Tayong Dalawa. Sana matured na role at mas challenging pa.”

If Gerald’s image and acting matured in Tayong Dalawa, has his relationship with leading lady and long time ka-love team Kim Chiu evolved too? Although the young man had been very vocal about his feelings for Kim, the two have yet to become officially an item. “Mas naging mature rin ‘yung relationship namin. Tulad pa rin ng dati, mag M.U. (mutual understanding) pa rin kami, ha ha ha! Hindi pa naman kami. Hindi natin alam kung kailan ba niya ako sasagutin, baka mamaya tingnan natin, ha ha ha! Hindi naman ako nagmamadali. Nakakasama ko naman siya araw araw so masaya pa rin.”

Cherry Pie Picache will miss the young stars of ‘Tayong Dalawa’

2009-09-29T04:15:00.000-07:00

Cherry Pie Picache told ABS-CBN.com that Tayong Dalawa is a teleserye that she would truly miss because of the close bond that she shared with the whole team behind the soap. The actress even cried with her co-stars as they watched the grand finale together last Friday, September 25. “Sobrang emotional kami kasi nga from start to finish wala kaming naging problema. I mean siyempre may mga konti-konting [misunderstanding], siyempre dala ng pagod, pero nothing major na talagang, ‘Ano ba ‘to? Ayoko na magtaping, ang gulo-gulo!’ May ganon e. Pero dito we help one another. Not only with the stars but the people behind it, the creative people, and even the editors. Nakakalungkot kasi [na tapos na ang show kasi] we look forward going to the set,” she reminisced.

Cherry Pie also said that she also enjoyed working with talented young stars like Gerald Anderson, Jake Cuenca, and Kim Chiu. “They’re very hardworking, down-to-earth, and passionate about their craft. Wala silang attitude so mamahalin mo. Kapag mahal mo, siyempre iga-guide mo, susuportahan mo. Kapag hindi mo mahal, e ‘di pabayaan mo,” she joked. “But you know I always tell them that you can stay famous for a year or two pero yung respeto na ibibigay sa ’yo, you earn it by working hard on your craft coupled with good behavior and attitude—yun yung meron ang tatlo. So nakakatuwa na alalayan. Kumbaga you have to learn how to pay it forward also.”

When asked if there would be a sequel to Tayong Dalawa since Rosanna Roces appeared at the end of the series as the first wife of David Garcia Sr., Cherry Pie merely laughed and said, “Wala… Well, hindi ko alam siyempre sila Sir Deo (Endrinal, business unit head) lang ang nakakaalam niyan. Pero nakakaloka yun ‘di ba? But of course Tayong Dalawa has been true to its form, lahat ng nangyayari napaka-unpredicatable. So natutuwa ako na ganon ang ending. Kung meron mang kasunod, empleyado lang ako so susunod ako.” She further shared that the mere thought of working with the same team again already excites her. “I love working with Deo and the whole unit kasi may puso talaga and creative-wise ang galing nila. Kaya I’m grateful to be part of this team,” Cherry Pie reiterated.

The multi-awarded actress will soon be back on primetime TV via the Mexicanovela remake, Rubi. Though she refused to give a lot of details about the show, it seems that she will be portraying a kontrabida role. “Basta iba na namang character ito, malayo kay Marlyn, abangan na lang nila.”

Considering that whatever telerserye she’s a part of becomes a ratings phenomenon, does the actress consider herself some sort of lucky charm. “Hindi naman. I am lucky dahil pinagkakatiwalaan ako ng ABS-CBN with meaty roles. I am just doing my job. Siyempre you don’t want to fail the audience. Ito yung inaasahan nila sa character at ito yung inaasahan nilang emosyon na maramdaman nila from you, so siyempre ibibigay mo sa kanila yun and I’m happy to do that,” she finally stated.

Coco Martin reveals what he likes most about Maja Salvador

2009-09-29T04:00:00.000-07:00

After the successful run of Tayong Dalawa, Coco Martin will soon be seen in the upcoming teleserye Nagsimula sa Puso as Maja Salvador’s leading man. Since it’s his first time to work with the talented young actress, Coco is discovering many good things about her, especially about her work ethics. “Natutuwa ako sa kanya kasi devoted siya sa trabaho niya. Malalim siyang katrabaho at malalim siyang tao. And then nakikita ko kasi ‘yungpagpupursige sa ginagawa niya.”

Even as people are already saying that the two stars look good together, Coco clarified that it is still too early to tell if their relationship could develop into something romantic, even if they are both single. He stressed that people should not misinterpret his being extra nice to Maja on the set because he is just behaving like a gentleman to his leading lady. “Sa lalaki, hindi mo naman maaalis ‘yung ganon, ‘yung pag-aalaga sa kapwa or co-actors mo not just sa kasama mong artista,” he explained, adding that he is nice to everyone.

On the possibility that he might fall for Maja, Coco said that he prefers to take things one step at a time. “Sa tingin ko hindi pa kami nagkakaraoon ng time para mag-bonding,” he admitted. But so far, their working relationship is going very well since Maja is approachable and not the “showbiz” type. “Si Maja kasi simpleng tao, eh,” explained the actor. “Hindi siya nagpe-pretend. Kung ano siya, ‘yun ang pinapakita niya and then bilang isang lalaki siyempre parang natutuwa ka.”

Maja plays a more mature role in Nagsimula sa Puso, and her leading man explained that this is also the good chance for the actress to adopt an older image. “Kumbaga this time ito na ‘yung hinihintay niya para ipakita ang kakaibang Maja.”

In the meantime, Coco said that he feels privileged that he is becoming a mainstream actor and that he owes much of it to the Kapamilya network. “Natutuwa ako sa ABS-CBN na nagtiwala sa akin para suportahan si Maja. Ako naman kasi dun lagi ako bumabawi sa proyekto, eh sa mga taong katrabaho ako. And thankful ako kasi kasama ako sa project.”

Gerald Anderson braves deep flood waters to check on neighbors

2009-09-28T04:45:00.000-07:00

In the showbiz world, Gerald Anderson is a heartthrob, a hunky cover boy, and an actor with promising talent to boot. But to his neighbors he is just Gerald, the concerned boy who braved deep floodwaters caused by typhoon Ondoy to check if his neighbors were okay.

Now, if you happen to be a neighbor of Gerald Anderson looking out the window, you may think that the young man was acting out a rescue scene for a telenovela, ready to plunge down in the muddy waters and pull out the leading lady from the depths. But this is reality. There are no lights and cameras and leading ladies, only action and reaction in an unavoidable situation in which lives were at stake. Gerald had to calculate decisions and do what was right.

QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD TURNED DISASTER AREA. Dr. Divina Gracia Rosales-Murao is a neighbor of Gerald in Vista Real Classica, Quezon City. That Saturday morning, the rain that started as a drizzle escalated in a steady downpour that eventually turned the village street into a wide pool. For Dr. Divina, it was something worth worrying about and it was a concern shared by Gerald as well.

She tells PEP thru email, "Even before the water level started to go up, Gerald and his brother Kenneth were already visible, perhaps trying to assess what's going to happen next. He was still carrying his dog that time."

She watched the entire scene from her veranda. As one hour passed, the water was already rising at an alarming rate. At about 2 p.m., the water had become level with her house's ground floor—a scary revelation considering that their street is on higher ground. For Dr. Divina, it was safer to stay put in the veranda. For Gerald and a few male companions, however, theirs was a responsibility they took upon themselves to check on people.

"Gerald and company tied ropes over trees para maging guide nila since the house in front of us is getting more damaged," describes the doctor. "They really tried to cross the raging waters but it was a little difficult na...they were nowhere in sight na rin since I also have to check on our place."

Undeterred by the increasing current, Gerald looked for help. Before dark, he arrived with Cesar Montano and Bayani Agbayani, who live a few blocks away. By this time, the water level was going up but the group managed to scramble up Dr. Divina's wall to ask if they needed assistance in evacuating.

"Actually we are still okay pa," said Dr. Divina. "They were asking if we plan to evacuate since they saw we have kids inside the house. Actually mas concern ko was my brother who lives a Queensland Street just a few houses away from director Jun Flores and Jean Garcia."

As it turned out, that part of the village was more damaged and the current, stronger. Gerald himself told Dr. Divina that they had a hard time getting through. And then they again left for help and returned in an hour, this time with a rescue team who would eventually check on the other homes in need of rescue and food.

THANKFUL FOR HIS INITIATIVE. For the doctor, the celebrity glitz in Gerald that fans see in everyday life was unrecognizable. In its place was a wet, cold and dirty person who chose to disregard personal safety for the assuring knowledge that his neighbors were out of harm's way.

"I give compliments to Gerald...that he gave his own self, his time, his concerns to check on his neighbors," Dr. Divine added, "including me and my family. He tried to be the ordinary person he is...just like us—just like everyone else with the humanitarian heart."

Gerald Anderson assures fans that next project with Kim Chiu will have a not-so-sad ending

2009-09-28T04:42:00.000-07:00

Nakausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Gerald Anderson pagkatapos ng live guesting nila ni Kim Chiu kahapon, ika-27 ng Setyembre, sa The Buzz kung saan pinasalamatan nila ang lahat ng sumubaybay ng Tayong Dalawa na nagtapos nitong nakaraang Biyernes.

"Nakakalungkot... Nakakalungkot," ang bungad ng young actor sa amin. "Pero siyempre, masaya rin ako dahil sa outcome at sa kung ano po ang nangyari dito sa Tayong Dalawa. Sobrang ano, e, nakakataba talaga ng puso. Mula umpisa pa lang, napakataas na ng rating namin at talagang sumusuporta sila sa amin hanggang sa ending namin po."

Sa seryeng ito naipakita ni Gerald ang kanyang potential bilang actor. Marami ang humanga sa kanyang pag-arte, lalo na sa eksenang namatay ang character ni Kim.

Ang kuwento niya, "Ano po, e, ten months kaming nagte-taping, 'tapos puro drama. Malaki pong tulong yun sa akin, mga taping at mga directors po namin, like sila Direk Trina [Dayrit] at sila Direk Ruel Bayani."

Talking about the soap's ending, marami raw ang nagreklamo at nagalit, lalo na mula sa mga Kimerald fans, dahil sa pagkamatay ni Audrey. Paano ba nila na-pacify ang kanilang mga tagahanga?

"Alam n'yo, talagang inasahan namin yun. Talagang magagalit sila dahil yun nga, inaasahan nila na happy ending para sa aming dalawa. Pero yung kuwento nun, magkapatid, alangan namang sirain namin ang kuwento para lang sa aming dalawa ni Kim?

"Selfish naman nun para sa amin," nakangiting pahayag ni Gerald.

Ang gumanap na kapatid ni Gerald dito ay si Jake Cuenca, na nagkagusto rin sa character ni Kim.

Bilang pambawi raw ng Kapamilya talent, ang next series nila ni Kim ay wala na raw silang matinding ka-love triangle.

UPCOMING PROJECTS. Sa susunod niyang proyekto sa telebisyon, nakakaramdam ba siya ng pressure na dapat mapantayan nito ang success na kanyang huling soap?

"Oo, grabe," sagot ng dating housemate ng Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition. "Hindi naman siguro kailangang galing sa akin yun. Pero talagang mahirap at magdarasal na lang ako na sana, yung susunod na project namin, kasing-ganoon kaganda ng Tayong Dalawa."

Lumabas dati ang balita na pagkatapos ng serye nila ni Kim, posibleng paghiwalayin muna sila as loveteam. Subalit ang susunod niyang TV project ay kasama pa rin ang Filipino-Chinese actress. Masaya ba siya na magkakatrabaho pa rin sila?

Aniya, "Oo! Basta kahit noon pa, palagi kong sinasabi na kung maghiwalay man kami ni Kim, marami pa kaming gagawin na magkasama. Yun ang ipinangako ko sa mga fans at tutuparin ko ang pangako kong yun."

Natawa si Gerald nang tanungin namin siya tungkol sinabi ni Kris Aquino na siya ang magiging kasama ng dalawa sa next series nila.

"Akala ko nga sikreto yun, kaya siya na nga lang po ang nagsasalita," nakangiting sabi niya. "Pero yun nga po, mas may alam po si Ms. Kris dun, pero, sobra po akong excited dahil makakasama ko sila."

Habang hindi pa nagsisimula ang taping, "nakakakaba" raw ang ideya na makakatrabaho niya ang popular na TV host. "Hindi ako sanay," dugtong pa ni Gerald.

Kailan nila ito sisimulan?

"Ay, hindi ko rin po alam. Sabi nila November, so, let's see..."

Sa ngayon, he's busy with Tiagong Akyat. At anytime next week, posible raw simulan ang shooting ng movie nila ni Kim under Star Cinema. Wala pa raw itong title pero si Ruel Bayani ang magiging direktor.

EXCLUSIVE: An unforgettable farewell party for ‘Tayong Dalawa’

2009-09-28T04:09:00.000-07:00

Tayong Dalawa’s nine-month run on TV had been a rollercoaster ride for the stars and the whole team behind the country’s consistently top-rating teleserye. But it was all worth living up to the pressure of beating each and every one last of their rival show according to ABS-CBN Business Unit Head Deo Endrinal who gave a witty yet touching speech during the show’s farewell party at the 55 Events Place in Quezon City last Friday night, September 25.

Everyone who became a part of Tayong Dalawa was there to watch the grand finale they’ve worked hard for and only a few media reporters of the Kapamilya network were invited to cover the exclusive event. Among the cast who were spotted that night included Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Jake Cuenca, Coco Martin, Cherry Pie Picache, Agot Isidro, Gina Pareño, Helen Gamboa, Alessandra de Rossi, Mylene Dizon, Regine Angeles, Ping Medina, Gian Sotto, Neil Ryan Sese, Beauty Gonzales, and Cacai Bautista.

Just like the rest of the Filipino viewers, they sat back and waited in between commercials to witness how the longstanding rift between Gerald (JR), Coco (Ramon), and Jake (Dave) was resolved by the tear-jerking plea of Cherry Pie (Marlene). Prior to that emotional scene, they also had a few laughs when Agot (Ingrid) took out her anger on Cacai (Ula) who was supposedly her loyal maid.

Even though the stars already knew the final twists in the story, they couldn’t help but give a warm round of applause from the moment Agot unexpectedly shot Coco who just surrendered himself to the police to the point where Rosanna Roces surprisingly turned up and introduced herself as the legal wife of Miguel Faustman (David Garcia Sr.) with Enchong Dee as their son. It certainly was a shocking ending which left everyone asking, “Will there be a Book 2 of Tayong Dalawa?”

The cast and crew didn’t ponder much about that though because their priority at the time was to celebrate the show’s success with lots of good food and festive drinks on the house. They even held a costume contest featuring the staff in their best imitation of the characters of Tayong Dalawa. And to cap off their fun game, the contenders had an individual photo-op with the real stars themselves. Then the hosts awarded the 10,000-peso cash prize to the crew member who portrayed the “tortured version of Dave”.

Soon after that, the main cast were given a chance to express their gratitude to the people who helped them endear their way to the Filipinos’ hearts. “Maraming maraming salamat sa lahat ng bumubuo ng Tayong Dalawa. Minahal ko kayo and actually mahal ko kaya until now kahit na tapos na yung show. Thank you for the patience kapag medyo umaga na (laughs). I am very proud to have played the character of Ingrid. Siyempre hindi ko magagawa ng tama yun kung wala kayong lahat,” said Agot Isidro, who truly impressed the viewers with her portrayal of a psychotic and vengeful character role.

Cherry Pie also thanked the whole staff, not only for letting her shine as Marlene, but also for taking good care of her off cam. “Salamat din lalong lalo na sa mga utility namin na kahit malakas yung ulan pinagsisilbihan pa rin kami, sa aming mga gwapong cameramen, basta sa lahat, sa directors,gaffers, sa ma PA yun na nga pasensya na. Pero naintindihan niyo naman…dala lang ng trabaho, dala ng pagod. Of course needless to say, the creative people who created our characters, we are very very grateful to our directors who guided us along the way. Of course sa management ng ABS-CBN, we will always be grateful that we're part of this very successful show.”

Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson to team up in a movie and a teleserye

2009-09-28T04:05:00.000-07:00

Overwhelmed pa rin sina Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson kahapon sa The Buzz dahil sa matagumpay ng teleseryeng Tayong Dalawa na nagtapos noong Biyernes, Setyembre 25. Sumagot din si Kim sa maraming fans at manonood ng nasabing teleserye na nadismaya dahil namatay ang kanyang character na si Audrey. “Nung una ko nga pong nalaman na andami nga pong nag-email, andaming nag-react, andami kong natanggap na text messages (dahil) pati sila mahal nila si Audrey,” simula ni Kim. “Sabi ko hindi naman ‘yun tungkol (lang) sa akin. ‘Yung Tayong Dalawa, kuwento ng pamilya. Hindi lang ‘yan tungkol kay Kim o kay Audrey.”

Malaki ang pagpapasalamat ng tsinita actress dahil sa nakalululang pagtanggap sa kanilang proyekto at inamin niya na kahit siya ay naiyak nang mapanood ang mga huling episode kahit na alam na niya ang takbo ng storya.

Umani rin ng malaking papuri sina Kim at Gerald dahil napansin na ang kanilang husay sa pag-arte. Pag-amin naman ni Gerald, talagang pinagbutihan niya ang kanyang pag-arte dahil aniya, “I think it’s time talaga para ipakita ang talent namin. I just really wanted to do Tayong Dalawa really really good and (to be) the best I could, so binigay kong lahat.” Dagdag pa niya, nag-ensayo talaga siya maging mahusay ang pagsasalita ng Tagalog at mahirap man ang role niyang David Garcia Jr., ay ibinigay niya nang todo ang acting.

Kinulit rin ang dalawa sa The Buzz kung ano na ang estado ng kanilang relasyon. Naging consistent sa pagsasabi si Gerald na si Kim ang pinaka-espesyal na babae sa puso niya bukod sa kanyang nanay. “Napaka-special ni Kim para sa akin, sobrang iba na po ‘yung nararamdaman ko for her,” ani Gerald.

For her part, sinabi ni Kim na bukod kay Gerald, wala nang iba pang nagte-text pa sa kanya on a romantic level. Nang tanungin siya kung anong sweetest text message na ipinadala sa kanya ni Gerald most recently, ang sagot ni Kim, “Sabi niya (Gerald) kahit magkahiwalay na kami, sana magkita pa rin kami at sana may communication pa rin kami.”

Nilinaw ng host na si Kris Aquino na hindi pa magkakahiwalay ang dalawa dahil magtatambal sila sa isang pelikula. Sinabi rin ni Kris na natakda silang gumawa ng teleserye at magsisimula ang taping sa Nobyembre. Gaganap bilang mag-ina sina Kris at Kim at si Gerald ang love interest ng young actress.

Kim and Gerald at The Buzz

Part 1

Part 2

EXCLUSIVE: Kim Chiu says it is hard to say goodbye to Tayong Dalawa

2009-09-26T11:21:00.000-07:00

When Kim Chiu unexpectedly passed away in the recently-concluded teleserye Tayong Dalawa, the Kimerald fans and the rest of the Filipino viewers couldn’t help but feel crushed with such a tragic ending for her much-loved character, Audrey. Little did they know that Kim genuinely felt the pain of saying goodbye to her co-stars while taping her last few scenes in the show. “Sa lahat ng nalungkot din at nagasasabi na buhayin si Audrey, salamat dahil pinaglalaban nila yung character ko. Mahirap kasi habang binabasa ko pa lang yung script, naiiyak na ako. Iniisip ko na sana magawa ko siya ng tama at maganda. Yun naman talaga ang nangyari kasi nararamdaman ko talaga yung lungkot ni Audrey dahil iiwan na niya yung minamahal niya in the same way na minahal ko din yung show namin,” she revealed in an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN.com during Tayong Dalawa’s farewell party last night at 55 Events Place in Quezon City.

Since Tayong Dalawa’s finale seemed to suggest a part two of a very unpredictable family saga, how does she feel knowing that she may not be able to join the powerhouse cast anymore? “Siyempre nakakapanghinayang pero at least may nagawa akong maganda sa unang kwento ng Tayong Dalawa. Although mamimiss ko yung kulitan at non-stop chikahan sa set. Sa nine months na itinakbo ng show na ito, ang dami kong natutunan. Tulad ng paghuhugutan ko pala yung nangyari sa akin dati, mga ganon. Hindi ko ma-explain pero sobrang laking pagbabago ng buhay ko dahil (sa experience ko) dito.”

Aside from the non-stop endorsements coming her way, the 20-year-old star was grateful because this project made her a certified dramatic actress and a teleserye princess to boot. “Ngayon mas confident na ako umarte,” she shyly admitted. But even though she agreed to do a love scene for the first time in this project, Kim stressed that she has no plan to pursue sexier roles anytime soon. “Hudyat lang yun (ng pagiging mas mature ko)! Hindi ko naman lagi gagawin. Ayoko maging bold star! Gusto ko pa rin maging wholesome,” she exclaimed.

Fortunately for her loyal supporters, Kim happily announced that she would be having a movie with her long-time onscreen partner Gerald Anderson and another teleserye soon after that. A reliable source even shared with ABS-CBN.com that they would already start shooting by next week. “Pinaguusapan pa po pero sana matuloy. Magmu-movie muna kami sa ngayon. Hindi ko pa alam yung exact details. Siguro by next week pa mapag-uusapan kasi busy pa lahat ng tao ngayon,” she added.

For those who have closely worked with Kim, it’s actually no big surprise why Deo Endrinal’s business unit loves to tap her for most of their soaps because she is one of the few stars who looks forward to taping scenes round-the-clock. “Ayoko (ng cut off) kasi gusto ko magtrabaho ng magtrabaho. Tsaka parang nabobored ako kapag wala akong ginagawa. E kapag wala akong ginagawa nagsya-shopping na lang ako. E kaysa magshopping (at mag-ubos ng kita) magtatrabaho na lang ako,” she added with a laugh.

Is the ABS-CBN management going to give her a bonus for a job well done in Tayong Dalawa? “Hindi naman, hindi naman. Bonus ko na yung maging si Audrey sa Tayong Dalawa,” she finally stated.

Jake Cuenca learned to love himself more because of ‘Tayong Dalawa’

2009-09-26T11:17:00.000-07:00

In spite of being teased that he could earn an acting award for his powerful performance in the recently concluded teleserye Tayong Dalawa, Jake Cuenca explained that his priority as an actor is still to entertain people. “Yun ang pinakaimportante sa akin. Sa akin bilang artista, ang mag-entertain, pasayahin at paiyakin ang mga taong nanonood sa lahat ng shows na ginagawa ko ang rason para patuloy kong galingan sa lahat ng proyektong gagawin ko,” he said.

He confirmed though that from all the projects he had done, portraying David Garcia Jr., in Tayong Dalawa is the most unforgettable character yet. He even confessed that the character is even more memorable than his role in the action-serye Palos in 2008, which was his launching project as a Kapamilya. “Bukod sa acting, I’ve learned so much from my co-actors, about professionalism, humility and not being selfish,” Jake shared.

The actor explained that aside from being challenged, he gave so much of himself for the role and loved it in the process. “Lahat ng natutunan ko sa Tayong Dalawa, sa lahat ng experiences, dala-dala ko ‘yan for the rest of my career,” Jake stressed. “Andami kong natutunan na hindi ko bibitawan habambuhay. Nasa puso ko ang Tayong Dalawa, ganun ko siya kamahal.”

Aside from being a turning point in his career, Jake explained that he considers the teleserye life-changing because it made him love himself more. “It changed me forever and to tell you the truth, after finishing this show, after the last day, I love myself better now. Parang mas gusto ko ang maturity ko sa sarili ko na nakuha kodito. I just feel happier as a whole.”

Jake was sentimental with the show’s last episode but grateful for the opportunity to showcase his talents. He said that it was overwhelming to be entrusted by the Kapamilya network with such an important role. “Thanks to my co-actors and directors because they never gave up on me in this project. They believed in me, ABS-CBN believed in me and I’m so thankful for that. Nakakaiyak minsan dahil di ko sukat akalain na ganito karaming tao ang magtitiwala sa akin.”

Coco Martin injured on the set of Tayong Dalawa

2009-09-15T12:41:00.000-07:00

Naaksidente ang aktor na si Coco Martin sa taping ng ABS-CBN primetime series na Tayong Dalawa habang kinukunan ang isang mahalagang action scene kaninang bandang 5:30 ng umaga, September 15.

Sa naturang eksena ay nakikipagbarilan si Coco, na gumaganap bilang Ramon sa naturang teleserye, sa kanyang mga kalaban. Isang blank round ang pinaputok ngunit tumama ang smoke powder sa kanyang kaliwang mata. Namilipit sa sakit ang aktor kaya nilapitan siya agad ng staff at crew. Narinig din ang isang crew na humingi ng tubig para mabuhusan ang mata ni Coco.

Dinala rin agad sa University of Santo Tomas Hospital si Coco, kung saan sumailalim siya sa ilang medical tests. Pagkatapos matanggal ang foreign bodies na pumasok sa kanyang kaliwanag mata at magamot ang sugat niya sa mukha sanhi ng aksidente ay pinauwi na rin siya.

Dahil sa aksidente ay nakansela ang taping ng Coco para sa isang episode ng drama anthology na Maalaala Mo Kaya. Naantala rin ang shooting ng kanyang final action scene sa Tayong Dalawa.

Sa text message naman na ipinadala ni Coco sa SNN kanina, sinabi nitong nagpapahinga na siya sa bahay. Pero kailangan pa rin niyang uminom ng antibiotics every six hours at regular na lagyan ng liquid drops ang kanyang mga mata.

Umaasa siyang gumaling agad para makabalik siya sa taping ng Tayong Dalawa, na magtatapos na sa susunod na linggo.

Fans of Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu and Jake Cuenca clamor for more of Tayong Dalawa

2009-09-15T08:11:00.000-07:00

Jam-packed talaga ang SM City North Edsa Skydome noong Linggo ng hapon kung saan, literal na libo-libong mga fans nila Kim, Gerald at Jake ang sumugod para sa promo mall show ng kanilang teleseryeng nalalapit nang magtapos, ang Tayong Dalawa. Full force ang cast pero mas full force ang mga fans dahil hindi talaga nila pinalampas ang naturang event para masilayan ang kanilang mga idolo. Sa nalalapit na pagtatapos ng naturang teleserye, minabuti ng mga cast at staff ng show na magpasalamat sa mga televiewers at mga fans na walang tigil ang suporta sa kanila at consistent na mataas na ratings kahit ilang buwan pa itong na-extend. Humaba na nga ang kuwento at nagka-sanga-sanga na. Kadalasan, sa mga nangyayaring ganito, nasusuya na ang mga televiewers. Pero sa kaso ng Tayong Dalawa, mas natatakam pa ang lahat at mas naaeexcite sa tindi ng mga eksena.

Nakachika namin ang ilan sa mga tauhan'g namamahala sa pagpapasok ng mga tao sa Skydome at grabe daw talaga ang buhos ng tao. Puno na ang loob ng venue, ay may nakapila pa daw sa labas at hanggang sa mga baba na daw ang dulo ng mga tao. Naubos na nga daw ang mga Star Studio magazine na binebenta nila noong araw na yon. Pati daw ang DVD at VCD ng Tayong Dalawa ay limas na rin. Umabot na sa puntong, tumawag na ang bureau of fire protection sa namamahala ng mall show na ihinto na ang pagpasok ng mga tao dahil sobrang siksikan na sa loob. Baka daw kasi mag-over load ang mga tao sa loob at magkaloko-loko na pag nagka-disgrasya. Hindi na nila alintana kung mahinto ang pagbebenta ng mga sales people ng kanilang mga binebentang magazines, CDs at bags, ang importante daw ay mapangalagaan ang kalagayan ng mga fans.

Kaya naman hiling ng mga fans na nakasalubong namin sa labas ng venue, sana naman daw ay mapagbigyan sila na magkaroon pa ng series of mall shows ang Tayong Dalawa cast sa mga susunod na araw. Dahil nga daw sa patapos na ang teleserye, hiling nilang makita'ng magkakasama sina Kim, Gerald, Jake pati na ang iba pang cast members, sa huling pagkakataon na live. Sana daw makakuha pa sila ng mas malaking venue para ma-accomodate ang lahat.

Gerald Anderson named sexiest bachelor

2009-09-12T14:27:00.000-07:00

Isa sa sobrang tinilian sa isang rampahan ng mga nagga-guwapuhang lalaki sa NBC Tent ay si Gerald Anderson. Napuno ng sigawan at tilian ang nasabing venue nang rumampa na ang Prince of Primetime. Finale si Gerald kaya naman inaabangan ng mga manunuod ang kanyang paglabas mula sa backstage. Litaw ang kakisigan ng binata at ang ganda ng hubog ng kanyang katawan. Kaya naman nung makausap ng ABS-CBN.com si Gerald, agad naming inusisa kung ano ang nararamdaman niya sa mainit na pagtanggap ng mga tao sa kanya.

“Of course happy, talagang masaya, tsaka napaka-overwhelming dahil nung mga ginagawa ng mga tao natilian, sumigaw at talagang isinisigaw nila ang pangalan ko, para sa akin napaka-overwhelming.”

Ano kaya ang feeling na topless siyang naglalakad sa rampa habang binabasa ng mga water gun at nakatutok ang lahat ng mga camera sa kanya? “Nakakahiya pero masaya. Nakakataba ng puso na ang daming tumitili.” Tuloy na tuloy na kaya pagpapa-sexy niya? “Hahaha. Sexy pero wholesome. Andun pa rin yung cuteness.”

Ngayong ilang gabi na lamang ang nalalabi para sa Tayong Dalawa, naitanong sa kanya kung ano ang masasabi niya sa pagwawakas nito. “Nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng mga sumusuporta at sumusubaybay sa amin. Sa hindi nila pagbitaw gabi-gabi sa Tayong Dalawa. Nagbunga ang lahat ng paghihirap naming. Salamat talaga.”

Lola Gets asked JR to find Ramon before she die

Jake Cuenca says he sacrificed his love life for Tayong Dalawa

2009-09-11T00:00:00.000-07:00

Sa pagtatapos ng Tayong Dalawa, may projects na agad na naka-antabay para sa actor na si Jake Cuenca, ang Rubi at Agimat. Sa Rubi ay makakapareha ni Jake ang dati niyang nililigawan na si Angelica Panganiban. Sa Agimat naman, tulad ng sa totoong estado ng kanyang love life, ay searching pa rin si Jake ng kanyang makakapartner. "Mayroon naman akong ibang opportunities na magkaroon ng leading lady sa Agimat, and sa Rubi, I'm having Angelica."

Jake has mixed emotions sa nalalapit nang pagtatapos ng Tayong Dalawa."Malulungkot ako siyempre dahil iiwan ko na ang pamilya ko sa Tayong Dalawa. Masaya dahil finally, mako-cross ko na yong finish line." According to Jake, he has to sacrifice his love life para sa Tayong Dalawa. Napansin naman natin na zero ang love life ng aktor habang ginagawa nito ang naturang teleserye. "I have to sacrifice my personal life, mahirap kasing pagsabayin ang dalawa (love life at career). If you're doing a role like this, kailangan talaga, 'yong oras mo, 'yong panahon mo, isasakripisyo mo in favor ng career," katuwiran ng aktor. In fact, nandi-dito raw ang kanyang pamilya, from the US at aminado siyang pati ang mga ito ay nakukulangan sa panahong dapat ay kasama nito ang nagbabakasyong pamilya. "My daddy just left (for the US) at si Mommy, tatapusin daw muna ang Tayong Dalawa bago umuwi. Ganu'n ka-fanatic ng TD si Mommy. Kaya, iniintindi na lang nila ako na minsan, nagkukulang ng oras sa kanila," says Jake.

Jake admits na muntik na niyang pormahan si Bea Alonzo, noong magkaroon sila ng show sa Guam last year. Ito ang panahon kung saan ay nagkaroon ng isyu sa pagitan nina Jake at Roxanne Guinoo. "Sana, mabigyan kami ng chance in the future na magkausap. Hindi naman kami magkaaway and in fairness, I'm all praises for Bea. No'ng magkita kami sa Star Magic ball, kinongratyuleyt ko siya sa movie niya (And I Love You So) dahil maganda talaga. Nagha-hi, hello naman siya everytime na nagkikita kami pero wala pang pagkakataon na nag-usap kami nang tipong-kamustahan," pagtatapat pa ni Jake.

On Melissa Ricks na balitang kanyang ina-admire sa ngayon, ano na ba ang status nila? "Magkaibigan pa lang kami," sabay ngiti ni Jake. "Busy siya at busy rin ako. Mahirap kasing pagtapuin yong schedules namin. Pero, nagkakamustahan kami from time to time, nagbibigay ng advice sa kaniya. Madalas ko ding sabihin sa kaniya na i-prioritize ang career niya dahil ang ganda ng nangyayari sa (career) kaniya lately. At the same time, sobrang blessed din ako at feeling ko, deserving din na sa career ko ibinuhos ang atensiyon at panahon ko," pagtatapos ni Jake.

Ingrid is shocked by a surprise.

Jake Cuenca has mixed feelings about the last few weeks of Tayong Dalawa

2009-09-09T20:30:00.000-07:00

Dalawang linggo na lamang ang nalalabi sa primetime series ng ABS-CBN na Tayong Dalawa, na siyam na buwan ding sinubaybayan ng mga manonood. Dahil sa tagumpay at suporta na tinatamasa ng kanilang palabas, puro pasasalamat at hindi makakalimutang mga karanasan ang maiiwan kay Jake Cuenca, na gumaganap bilang Dave sa naturang serye.

Nang makausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Jake sa pictorial niya para sa Boardwalk ay ipinahayag niya ang kanyang pasasalamat dahil sa tagumpay ng Tayong Dalawa.

"Sobrang blessed ako at talagang taus-puso akong nagpapasalamat sa Diyos, sa lahat ng supporters... Pero at the same time, ang talagang pinoproblema ko ngayon, yung acting. Kasi ang demand ng show for acting at character ko, medyo mabigat. Kaya lahat ng atensiyon ko, binubuhos ko muna sa last 15 days ng show. Siyempre, nais naming ibigay yung ending na gusto ng lahat ng tao. At confident kami na yung ending na ibibigay namin will cater to everyone," saad niya.

Ano nga ba ang mangyayari sa character niya sa Tayong Dalawa?

"Basta, it's an ending na, kumbaga, speaks for the whole cast," sabi ni Jake. "Kumbaga, it's an ending na maraming tao ang nagde-debate, kasi siyempre may Team Dave, Team JR, Team Ingrid... So, this in an ending na tingin ko, hindi magde-debate ang mga tao at magiging masaya siya sa ending. Ako naman, masayang-masaya rin ako kung saan papunta ang character ko, that's why buhos talaga ang atensiyon ko sa last 15 days dahil critical talaga."

Hindi pa raw nila hawak ang last two to three pages ng script ng Tayong Dalawa. Iaabot lang daw ito sa kanila sa mismong taping day. Ang alam pa lang daw niya, yung build up sa characters nila sa pagtatapos nito.

"Lahat naman kami nag-agree that we want to shoot the ending that way," banggit ni Jake.

Nahihirapan ba siyang bitawan ngayon ang character niya at ang show mismo?

"Actually, mixed emotion nga," sagot niya. "Siyempre, sobrang lungkot. Ang sa akin, nalulungkot talaga ako na matatapos na. Siyempre, iiwan ko na ang pamilya ko sa Tayong Dalawa. Siyempre, we'll all be moving with our different projects.

"Pero at the same time, masaya rin kasi finally mako-cross na ang finish line. Alam mo yun, parang excited na rin ako. Yung role ko na Dave, nadadala ko minsan. Pag-uwi ko ng bahay, parang miserable rin. So, as much as possible, kapag nakakaramdam ako ng lungkot dahil sa character ko, I hold on to it, hindi ko binibitawan."

Ayon kay Jake, pati personal life niya ay isinakripisyo niya para sa show.

"Actually, kahit itanong n'yo sa pamilya ko... Umuwi sila recently. Yung daddy ko babalik ng Lunes sa Spain. Ang mama ko, gusto muna raw niyang tapusin ang Tayong Dalawa. Fan kasi yun ng Tayong Dalawa.

"Pero minsan, parang inintindi nila na kung meron akong ibigay na oras na para sa sarili ko lang, kinukuha ko muna yun. Ginagawa ko homeworks ko. Nanonood ako ng movies, ine-explore ko rin yung characters at aralin din yung sarili para maiba ang mga eksena."

JAKE'S NEXT PROJECT. Nakikita naman ng network ang dedication na ibinubuhos ni Jake sa trabaho niya. In fact, hindi pa man tapos ang Tayong Dalawa, sinisimulan na rin niyang gawin ang next project niya—ang Pinoy remake ng hiot Mexicanovela na Rubi, kung saan siya ang gaganap bilang Alejandro.

"Yung character ko naman dito, kung titingnan mo, sobrang simple, pero hindi siya kasing kumplikado ng character ko as Dave. Pero ang maganda kasi sa Rubi, it will gonna run for a long time, so maraming tatakbuhin ang character.

"For now, gina-grasp ko muna yung oportunidad na medyo maging magaan. Para kapag nanood naman ang tao ng Rubi, ibang Jake naman ang makikita nila at hindi yung super-bigat."

Makakasama ni Jake sa Rubi sina Angelica Panganiban, Diether Ocampo, at Shaina Magdayao.

Hindi pa raw alam ni Jake kung kailan maipalalabas ang Rubi.

"I don't know, e. Before kasi, ang Tayong Dalawa was supposed to be aired later. Pero mas napaaga kasi naging malaking impact sa tao ang trailer. Siyempre, yung Rubi, as much as possible, mas gugustuhin ko rin na medyo ma-late siya ng konti para may konting time difference. Pero siyempre, kung eere rin agad yun, okey lang din sa akin, game!" natatawa niyang sabi.

"PALAKASAN" ISSUE. Sa kabila ng dedikasyon ni Jake sa kanyang trabaho, tila kakambal na yata niya ang intrigang "malakas" siya sa ABS-CBN dahil pagkatapos nga ng Tayong Dalawa ay nasa cast din siya ng Rubi at magbibida rin siya sa isang episode ng Agimat.

Naaapektuhan pa ba siya kapag nakakarinig ng mga ganitong isyu tungkol sa kanya o ine-enjoy na lang niya anumang opportunities na dumarating sa kanya?

"Ang sa akin naman, tulad nga ng sinabi ko dati, my work speaks for itself. I work hard. I try to be as professional as I can be. At the same time, sa eksena, ibinibigay ko buong puso at sarili ko talaga.

"At para sa akin, kahit walang tulog, diretso ko 'yan, go! Kasi mahal ko talaga ang trabaho ko. I'm very blessed at napakasuwerte ko na nagtiwala sa akin ang network ng ganito. Napakasuwerte ko na ganito nila ako sinusuportahan. Basta ako, hindi ko rin sila bibiguin. Basta ako, kung kailangang maging professional, I just try my best to be professional as I can be," pahayag ni Jake.

Jake Cuenca on Tayong Dalawa: "It has an ending that everybody deserves"

2009-09-07T21:13:00.000-07:00

Mahalaga para kay Jake Cuenca ang karakter bilang Dave sa Tayong Dalawa hindi lamang dahil mga importanteng bagay na natutunan at na-absorb niya habang ginagampanan niya ang karakter ng isang nagmamahal na walang inaasahan kundi puro pasakit. Ito rin ang masasabing nagbukas kay Jake para sa maraming oportunidad tulad ng endorsements at ang makilala pa ng madla. Sa nalalapit na pagwawakas nito, aminado rin si Jake, mas marami na ngayon ang lumalapit sa kanya at nakakakilala. Iba ang recall ng character niya sa Tayong Dalawa. "Dati kasi 'pag namamasyal ako sa mall, walang pumapansin sa akin. Ni walang bumabati." Nakangiting kuwento pa ng pinakabagong Boardwalk endorser.

Dumaan kami sa pictorial ni Jake for Boardwalk at doon nakausap ng ABS-CBN.com ang actor. Matagal-tagal na rin namin siyang hindi naka-panayam, at doon nakita namin na pinagkakaguluhan siya, kahit sa isang tagong lugar kasi ang nasabing location ng studio, go pa rin ang ibang fans para magpa-picture at makita si Jake. In fairness sa aktor, hindi siya maramot sa fans. Ito ang gusto namin sa kanya, eversince, warm siya. "Sa ngayon, talagang sobrang blessed ako. kaya nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos, sa ABS-CBN sa lahat ng supporters. Pero ngayon ang pinu-problema ko talaga ay 'yung acting eh, 'yung demands ng show for acting. Lahat ng atensyon ko, binubuhos ko sa last 15 days ng show, saka confident kami na 'yung ending namin will cater to everyone. It's an ending that everyone deserves, that my character deserves. Kaya, abangan ninyong lahat ito," sabi pa ni Jake.

Teka ano ba ang mangyayari kay Jake (bilang Dave) sa katapusan ng kwento ng Tayong Dalawa? "Basta, it's an ending that will cater to everyone. Kasi, may team Marlene (Cherry Pie Picache), team Ingrid (Agot Isidro), team JR (Gerald Anderson). So, this is an ending na feeling ko, hindi magde-debate ang tao sa ending. Ako, masayang-masaya rin ako kung saan papunta ang character ko. Panoorin niyo na lang. Siyempre, may pressure, kasi ang Tayong Dalawa, gusto ng tao, hinangaan ng mga tao. So, there's a certain pressure na mag-live up kami sa hype."

Kahit hindi pa tapos ang Tayong Dalawa, heto't malapit na ring simulan ni Jake ang Ruby. Isang Pinoy version ng hit na Mexican telenovela five years ago, at gaganap siya bilang si Alejandro, ang lalaking mapupusuan ni Ruby. With Jake are the network's two of the most desirable and alluring actresses of today, Shaina Magdayao and Angelica Panganiban. Ayon pa kay Jake, si Angelica ang gaganap bilang Ruby, ang bidang-kontrabida sa nasabing Mexican-telenovela. Aware rin Jake na sa programang Ruby, his character calls for some daring scenes."Napanood ko nga 'yung synopsis ng Ruby sa You Tube, Pinanood ko lang 'yung memorable scenes niya pero gusto ko, 'yung sarili ko namang diskarte. Ayokong maging carbon-copy. I mean, 'yung certain aspects ng character pero, meron pa rin akong ibibigay na kakaiba. Para 'yun ang inputs ko rin as an actor."

Sobrang busy ng schedule ngayon ni Jake, sa maniwala kayo't sa hindi, wala siyang inspirasyon o love life ngayon. Napangiti lang ng aktor at sinabing, nandito ngayon ang family niya from Spain. "My parents are here right now, sa kanila ko muna binubuhos 'yung time and attention ko. 'Yung Dad ko, paalis na this week. Si Mama, tatapusin daw muna ang Tayong Dalawa saka na siya aalis," Nakangiting sabi pa ni Jake. He spends time with his family often and he'd bring them to the malls at kung mas mahaba siyang oras from work, they'd go out of town, ito ang family bonding nila."Siyempre, nami-miss ko rin ang time na wala ako sa tabi nila. Bumabawi talaga ako ngayong nandito sila."

Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson named ‘Sparkling Couple of the Night’ at the Star Magic Ball

2009-09-05T18:52:00.000-07:00

Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson were named the Sparkling Couple of The Night at the Star Magic Ball last August 30, with Kim wearing a champagne-colored gown by Paul Cabral and Gerald in a suit by Inno Sotto. The Tayong Dalawa stars surprised they won over the other couples. “Sobrang thankful kami ni Gerald dahil kahit madaming couples ngayong gabi kami yung napili nila,” said Kim who was further amazed when ABS-CBN.com told them that they had also won the Perfect Couple poll on Star Magic’s website that same night. “Wow! Hindi namin inexpect na may live stream pero thank you sa lahat ng mga nanood ng live coverage nitong ball via TFCNow!” To which Gerald happily commented, “Alam ko mga Kimerald (fan group) ‘yan. Talagang napaka-supportive nila sa amin so malaki yung utang loob namin sa kanila.”

Their fans would be interested to know that the two of them were inseparable that night. Gerald never left Kim’s side even as they bonded with friends like Jake Cuenca, Melissa Ricks, Erich Gonzales, and other stars at their table. ABS-CBN.com even caught Kim caressing Gerald’s face prior to the interview. “Nakakaout of place kasi ang dami naghahalikan, nagyayakapan, kami wala,” exclaimed Kim with a laugh. “Pero masaya naman kasi siyempre kasama namin mga friends namin from the industry na wala kaming ibang iniisip kundi magrelax lang. Alam mo naman puros taping kami ng Tayong Dalawa, ‘di ba?”

Speaking of their top-rating teleserye, Gerald shared he is sad that Tayong Dalawa is ending soon. “Nakakalungkot pero at the same time masaya ako dahil pinaghirapan namin ito e. Madami naman kaming baong magagandang memories at lessons na natutunan namin by doing the soap. Hindi talaga matatawaran yung pinagsamahan naming lahat all these months.” In the same vein, Kim told ABS-CBN.com that the show has made her life richer in more ways than one. “Siyempre natutuwa ako dahil mas nag-grow kami ni Gerald dito bilang artista. Mga award-winning ba naman yung mga makasama mo ‘di ba. Pero more than that, mas tinitreasure ko yung friendships na nabuo sa set. Kaya nakakalungkot isipin na malapit na kaming maghiwa-hiwalay. And sa lahat ng viewers sana sundan pa rin ninyo ang mga huling linggo ng Tayong Dalawa,” she concluded.
