The cast of the upcoming film Nelia impressed the Korean community with their performance last November 19, at a gathering in Manila-Korea Town, at Remedios Circle, Malate, Manila. It was attended by various leaders of the Korean community in Manila, including Consul General Kyu Hu Lee of the Korean Embassy, Chairman Jae Jung Jang of the Manila-Korea Town Association, Chairman Jae Heung Byun of the United Korean Community in the Philippines, and several member of the Korean Culture Center, Korean Sports Association in the Philippines, and Peaceful Unification Advisory Council - South East Asia to inaugurate the opening of the Manila K -Town Cha Cha Cha Fest. 


The three of the main cast of Nelia-- Ali Forbes, Shido Roxas, and Juan Carlos Galano -- impressed the crowd with their song numbers and entertained guests. The Korean community also welcomed the presence of veteran actor Raymond Bagatsing, who once wowed the Korean audience with his performance in a Filipino film that participated in the prestigious Busan International Film Festival in Korea in 2012. 




According to the Korean community, Nelia has a huge potential to have a Korean adaptation because of its unique theme. Nelia is said to be a "daring suspense thriller," which can be compared to Korean movies such as "The Housemaid" and "Parasite," which is the first Korean film to win Best Picture at the Oscars. In fact, several Korean film production companies are currently talking to Nelia producer Atty. Aldwin Alegre of A and Q Production Films Inc. to make a Korean adaptation or remake of the film. 

“We're really very happy because even though our film hasn't been released yet, the reception that people have been giving to our film is very good, especially in the Korean community. We look up to a lot of Korean films, and for them to acknowledge Nelia to be at par with them is a great honor for us. This is the only suspense thriller genre that entered the MMFF this year, so we are also excited to offer the Filipino viewers something different from the usual fare this coming Christmas," said Atty. Alegre. 



He also confirmed that they are already in talks with some film production companies in Korea for a possible Korean remake or adaptation of Nelia. “Yes, two production companies from Korea have already approached our team to remake Nelia. A production company from Los Angeles, California also contacted us just the other day, and they are interested in Nelia for a possible distribution in the US," he said. 

Nelia stars Winwyn Marquez as the titular Nurse Nelia. The film is one of the eight official entries of the Metro Manila Film Festival that will be screened in select theaters throughout the Philippines this coming December 25.

From the Academy Award nominated Director Roland Joff’’e (The Killing Fields, Scarlet Letter & Captivity)

Based on a true story Archbishop Desmond Tutu (Forest Whitaker) finds himself morally and intellectually challenged by Piet Blomfield (Eric Bana), a convicted murderer serving a life sentence in prison and seeking redemption for the atrocities he committed. Tutu must fight to hold together a country threatening to tear itself apart once again without losing himself in the process.    Does crimes against humanity, deserves Forgiveness?

The post-apartheid story, Written and Directed by Academy Nominated Roland Joffe and Co-written by Michael Ashton was based on Ashton’s play The Archbishop and The Antichrist. The film thriller drama follows Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s (Whitaker) work as President of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in post-apartheid South Africa, and his struggle with a brutal murderer Piet Blomfeld (Bana) over concession and redemption. 

Described as a story of redemption and forgiveness this film was shot completely in Cape Town, South Africa. Mostly filmed in and around the city, the film crew on many occasions had to endure long days and nights in one of the world’s most dangerous prison facilities, Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison, where Nelson Mandela himself spent his years between 1982 and 1988. 

Based on the play, The Archbishop and The Antichrist, Roland Joffe, together with Michael Ashton wrote the film’s original screenplay. Craig Baumgarten together with local South African producing partner Zaheer Goodman-Bhyat from Light and Dark Films, and with blessings from the Archbishop himself.

“Archbishop Tutu’s story is poignant and timely” added producers Craig Baumgarten and Zaheer Goodman-Bhyat. “It reminds us of his gift of forgiveness and the healing it brings, and we are honored to tell this story.”      Distributed by Crystalsky Multimedia.

It is a refreshing take to have a blogcon with Ms Sylvia Sanchez in the panel. Ms Sylvia was very passionate about the movie because she is also a mom and a very supportive one same as her role as Mama Mina in the movie. The trailer seems to all about crying and the struggles of a mother-daughter relationship but there is an absolute twist to it and that is why we have to watch.

This is not just a mother with a millenial child kind of story. It actually tackles problems and situations in general. That is why I am so excited to watch it on January 17. Take your mom out to go see the movie and as Ms Sylvia said, there are many realizations in this film plus it is impossible to not cry so bring a lot of tissue.

See you at the cinemas.

By the way, I love the writer and director of this film, very passionate in sharing and answering our questions. Karen Reyes carried a ton of good vibes, Diego Loyzaga is just chill while Heaven Peralejo is not just a pretty face. All good.

The Lola's of Eat Bulaga namely Lola Tidora, Lola Nidora and Lola Tinidora is all set to give laughter and horror in the big screen. Last week a bloggers conference was held to give us a chance to get to know more about the upcoming movie of Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola and Paolo Ballesteros also known as JoWaPao. I was personally touched that the three Lola's came in fully made up and dressed up for their characters.


I actually first thought that Trip Ubusan is a comedy film, but during the blogcon they cleared out that this was more of the horror side. People will surely want to watch the movie because the Lola's have different characters and we all love our Lolas. But behind the all the laughter and fun of creating this film, keeping and creating their looks is time consuming. Wally's make up takes about 2hrs to finish because they have to make him look tired because he portrays Lola Nidora as someone who talks and acts slow. Jose as Lola Tinidora says his make up is just done in an hour because he doesn't like too much on and at the same time his skin is sensitive (and everyone in the room had a good laugh). And finally the most glamorous of them all, Lola Tidora portrayed by Paolo Ballesteros. Because he has to maintain the glam of his character, he does his own make-up for four hours. A good 7 hours combined just for the make upof this movie.

So are you excited to watch? Because I am! Trip Ubusan is showing on November 22 in cinemas nationwide.

I was once again invited to the Premiere Night of Viva Films' latest movie, The Barker which stars Empoy Marquez. The cast also includes his leading lady  Shy Carlos and is Directed by Dennis Padilla.

I was asked by a friend about my prediction on the movie. I can honestly say, I got confused on the story. Was it just me or was the editing a bit confusing. Oh well, but I am glad that Empoy now has gained a lot of fans and followers who were present during the night. They were happily cheering for him and Empoy in return stop for a few minutes or so to have a photo with them at the red carpet.


Not much to say about the movie, its just that I hope they can create another really good project for him because he is nice and super humble. Shy on the other hand really makes a good leading lady, she is very pretty on screen.

Being on the red carpet and hearing their fans chant "Empoy" made the night super worthy.

In this day and age, movie makers would rather go with a safe category  and one that will ensure good ticket sales. Often times movies should have a "love team" in it or a teen group, anything that the millennials would love. There's nothing wrong with that because piracy is everywhere and production outfits just wanted to make sure that their hard work is paid off as well.

So when I was invited to the press conference of "Double Barrel" I was a bit surprised that it is an action film. But was impressed on how brave they are to pursue the movie making. And they are all positive that action films can still be a hit even through these times. "Double Barrel" stars Jeric Raval, Phoebe Walker and AJ Muhlach. Joining the cast is a newbie in the showbiz world but is still famous by name - Ali Khatibi; yes he is the better half of my personal bet as the winner of the defunct reality show "I Can Do That" Cristine Reyes-Khatibi.

I admit, I am more curious of who Ali is in person and what's his take on showbiz life. Also, did Cristine instantly allow his entering showbizness? Find out more with our quick interview with Ali during the presscon on the video below:


Double Barrel is showing on August 2 in cinemas.

Premiere Actress Lovi Poe is much talked about these days. This is because of her role in the controversial flick "The Escort". In this new outing, Lovi plays the role of Yassi. She is a young girl who is working her way to care of her siblings. Yassi meets Cyrus, played by Derek Ramsay, a hot flashy guy who immediately gets smitten with Yassi. Cyrus however has bigger plans for Yassi. He hopes to introduce Yassi to the profession of being an escort. Millionaire Gary Montanilla, portrayed by the Christopher De Leon, enters into the picture. Gary also gets smitten with Yassi due to Cyrus' insistence. But Cyrus realizes that he loves Yassi and can't let go of her. What happens next is a never-ending series of conflicts among the three characters.

Actress Lovi Poe considers her role in "The Escort", as one of the most difficult and most challenging of her career. "Yassi is the boldest character I have ever played, boldest because she reveals her inner most character as the story unfolds. Yassi can't be bought. She has her principles. But she is not stupid either. In the end, she swallows her pride and follows her heart, but with a heavy price", reveals Lovi. Although the actress has won several acting awards in the past, she thinks that her portrayal of Yassi in "The Escort", is one of the hardest she has ever done. "It's also the most sensual", she adds.


Lovi Poe indeed seems to be flying high these days. aside from "The Escort" which opens on November 2, Lovi is seen Weeknights in her prime-time teleserye "Someone to Watch over Me", which airs at 9:15 pm on GMA 7.

I am still overwhelmed of how beautiful this movie is. It was really true from the interviews I did with them especially Bela Padilla that this movie will not dwell on the heartaches and problems, it did show the beauty of moving on, the beauty of Bantayan Island in Cebu and the beauty of new friendships. This is for everyone, whatever the state of your heart is, the maturity of this film will teach you so many lessons in life. The roles really suits the ladies, if it as if it was meant for them all along, and if I may, I wanted to commend Bela Padilla's acting, it was superb, she already got my attention when she was still with "Ang Probinsyano" but here in Camp Sawi, my admiration for her in terms of acting made me whisper in my seat "Grabe and galing ni Bela". You see, I am not in any state sad or heart broken, I am actually happy but, I felt Bela's emotions in the film, it's as if my husband left me too, argh! Please do watch the movie, go get everyone of your friends I am getting mine to watch it again since I wasn't able to fully grasp some lines because watching it during the premiere with everyone feeling excited and overwhelmed, there will be clapping in scenes that took our breaths and made us laugh, so yeah, yes for a repeat! Promise, I do not say this often with other movies but this one is really for everyone, let us not loose this chance of seeing a quality film which doesn't rely on a love team to make it a hit. Camp Sawi weekend shall we?

I was invited to the special advance screening of Pare, Mahal  Mo Raw Ako held at the Cine Adarna of UP. The movie was spearheaded by Michael Pangilinan together with Edgar Allan Guzman. Of course you know the song, and you might be wondering how they came up with the movie plot and maybe imagining the scenes from the movie. Before we go on further, let me enlighten you already. The movie was tastefully done in a manner that this is not another "baklaan" movie or "make fun of the becky" kind. I was also surprised and at the same time saw another angle of how our LGBT friends are going through in their lives especially if they have situations same as in the movie. I have LGBT friends and sometimes we only see them as masarap kasama, masayang ka kwentuhan and mga pang kulit sa mga gala.


Imagine them go through life everyday knowing that not everyone accepts them, or that everyday they pretend not be who they are because they are afraid, or feel bad about coming out because people might not accept them or worst pandirihan sila. This movie was my eye opener, because for the longest time I thought keri na, masayahin naman sila, or keri na mga jokes nila, ok na yun kasi friends ko sila, but they need deeper understanding of their situation. More than the movie itself, this is a lesson for everyone. Okay enough na muna of my senti mode and let us move on to the main cast of the film.


For someone who is new in the field of acting like Michael Pangilinan with no acting workshop means he has it in him, he played well on his role as the gay bestfriend of EA who is apparently in love with him.


They actually have a good chemistry, of course we all know EA who already established his acting skills in different movies and I think he is the best guy to perform this role. But Michael Pangilinan could possibly be a hunk dramatic actor too, he did great without the acting workshop, what more if he'd have a chance to do one. And of course the Superstar Ms. Nora Aunor, is still great, her eyes is the best actress in this film.

I think this movie is for everyone, for a greater understanding of the current situation of our LGBT friends. And oh, you might think this movie is overly dramatic kasi ang drama ng pagsulat ko, let's just say nandun si Joross Gamboa at si Matt Evans so alam na! Go watch the movie once it is out in cinemas! Napapanahon!

More than the movie itself, this is a lesson for everyone. Okay enough na muna of my senti mode and let us move on to the main cast of the film.


For someone who is new in the field of acting like Michael Pangilinan with no acting workshop means he has it in him, he played well on his role as the gay bestfriend of EA who is apparently in love with him.


They actually have a good chemistry, of course we all know EA who already established his acting skills in different movies and I think he is the best guy to perform this role. But Michael Pangilinan could possibly be a hunk dramatic actor too, he did great without the acting workshop, what more if he'd have a chance to do one. And of course the Superstar Ms. Nora Aunor, is still great, her eyes is the best actress in this film.

I think this movie is for everyone, for a greater understanding of the current situation of our LGBT friends. And oh, you might think this movie is overly dramatic kasi ang drama ng pagsulat ko, let's just say nandun si Joross Gamboa at si Matt Evans so alam na! Go watch the movie once it is out in cinemas! Napapanahon!

So instead of buying those expensive flowers, why not get a ticket for a movie date this Valentines day? Yes flowers and chocolates would be all mushy and sweet but combinibg them qould be a treat, for a fun, memorable and feel good hearts day; watch Love Is Blind.

Love is Blind stars these 4 major characters; Derek Ramsey, Solenn Heussaff, Kean Cipriano and Kiray Celis. The movie evolves on old myth of creating potions just so the love of your life would probably and finally love you back. But of course if Kiray is in a movie, expect to be blown away by her comedic acts, yes she nailed this one and this movie was like really made for her.

What to expect:
1.       The still very hot Derek Ramsay can still make you go oooh!
2.       Surprisingly, Solenn and Derek has chemistry, yes super nakaka kilig sila.
3.       Kean can actually make you fall for him with his pa-cute scenes.
4.       Kiray… this is her time to shine bright like a diamond in the sky.

I didn’t expect the movie could make my panga go ngawit na ngawit from start to finish. What’s great about this is super good vibes lang sya, no overly dramatic scenes and the chemistry is overflowing from everyone sa cast. I love how Direk Paul Laxamana balanced everything, not the usual movie plot na, masaya sa start and then come middle too dramatic or tragic and then finish it up with very light get together- happily ever after scenes that when you come out of the cinema, you’ll feel affected sobra na imbes na naka relax ka eh mabigat sa pakiramdam. But of course we have different preferences and reasons when we go watch a movie, so when you just want something light, funny and would make you feel that falling in love is such a beautiful feeling, I would recommend watching Love Is Blind. Yup, sorry no additional kwentos for now, but do drop by here if you get to watch it and tell me what you think.

Chika Cheers!

Just The Way You Are, this movie is worth your time and money, as in! 

To start with, two new refreshing faces on the big screen, so fresh that both lead stars Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano known as #LizQuen doesn’t need layers of make-up. Their beautiful faces would instantly give good vibes to every movie goer, would make you feel relaxed after maybe a long day at work or school and… ok enough of the formality, here’s my real take on the movie!

At first I was hesitant, feeling ko kasi since their recent Teleserye, Forevermore just finished, eh baka the movie was minadali, oh but I was super wrong, walang hint ng Maria Agnes Calay and Alexander Grande III and movie na ito. Nahihirapan akong magkwento kasi parang ang ganda ng buong movie, although given na yung story is about a certain bet, pero ang mga eksena palong palo! Super bumagay sila sa mga characters nila pati na ang buong cast. Hindi ako mga chichika ng mga eksena at baka masira ko ang mood nyo to watch atska ayoko ma bash na spoiler lol! 

Ang saya ng casting, ang gaan lang, super nakaka happy si Ms Yayo Aguila, nakakaaliw yung ganitong mudrakels, super happy lang sya. Next is si Yves Flores, iba rin naman ang bagets na to oh! Panalo rin ang mga pasok nya at mga linya nya and his acting has improved, parang sa generation nila he could be like Joross Gamboa, on the sideline lang pero maaalala mo sya after ng movie, tatatak din naman sya at mahahapyy ka rin sa mga pinag gagagawa nya sa pelikula. Sila so far yung talagang tumatak sakin sa movie aside from of course Enrique and Liza.

Grabehan, sobrang galing Liza Soberano, yung mga eksena nya na umiiyak, ma fi-feel mo talaga yung hurt nya, this goes to prove na she’s not just a pretty face, may laman sya umiyak, hindi pinipilit lumuha, may hikbi, nakaka connect sya sa audience in terms of her feelings sa movie. For quite some time, ngayon lang ulit ako nadala at napaluha sa isang eksena, and this was because of Liza. Pero di rin naman sya papakabog sa mga pagpapatawa at pagpapakilig, they really have the absolute chemistry, sila ni Enrique.

And of course, Enrique is mahusay naman na talga sa actingan but dito sa movie he showed his pagpapakilig kind of acting and based sa review ko on my IG account last night (@MisisNikole) my gosh magbaon talaga kayo ng rice, kasi uulamin nyo sya dito ng bongga! Pero super bagay nya ang mga pagpapa cute nya dito, hindi pilit, macho gwapito talaga and mamahalin nyo sya after.



My take on why this Breakthrough love team has clicked:
1)      From Forevermore, they already captured the hearts of their audiences. If before ang mga Teleserye ay para sa mga mudrakels lang, oh well this time even mga father, ate, kuya and actually buong household na capture nila, this is not my made up story ha, my Mister thinks Teleserye’s were corny, and stories are just the same, but everything changed when Forevermore started. Also, Fanboys were born, madaming umamin na lalake na fans sila of both Liza and Quen, in my circle of friends Forevermore was dubbed as ang Teleserye ng mga tunay na lalake, so see na capture talaga nila ang hearts ng halos lahat ng age demographics.

2)      Fresh faces, hindi nakakasawa, hindi natatabunan ng make-up at hindi lang maganda at gwapo dahil may make-up. Super bagay in all aspects and because they already built a very good friendship, super comfortable na sila on screen. And the nose, diba ang tatangos ng ilong, for me ha, sila talga ang cute na mag nose to nose, nakaka tusok sa tangos!

3)      Superb acting, super normal and no inhibitions at all. Maybe because they are so comfortable with their own self that they are not afraid magpapa panget or maging nakakatawa sa movie, feeling mo kabarkada mo sila kasi nga ang normal lang, maybe working with these two was just a breeze, parang ang gagaan kasama sa work.

4)      Humble. I heard and read a lot about how the two are super down to earth.  Quen is super friendly and chill lang and hindi sya pa pogi effect and as a blogger na experience ko rin ito na nakakaalala sya ng mga tao, kumbaga pag may nakilala sya na members ng bloggers talagang kinikilala nya, bihira kasing may artista na nakaka alala or nakaka recognize sa mga kagaya naming mga bloggers, he may not know my name pero he says hi whenever I see him sa outside showbiz events. And Liza naman, palaging may “po” makipag-usap, hindi mo masasabing pinilit lang kasi you can’t do that unless innate talaga sa isang tao ang pag galang, hindi sya napa practice overnight right? Super humble ni Liza and Quen and I hope hindi sila kainin ng systema ng showbiz.

5)      Mature sila sa mga eksena nila, to think Liza is only 17 but she doesn’t think na kailangan tweetums sya dahil nga 17 lang sya, she is currently being tagged as parang Bea Alonzo of her generation, of course walang papalit kay Bea pero parang ganun ang dating ni Liza and syempre this is the start of building her own career as an actress. Syempre Quen has been loved by so many and never din naman syang nagpa tweetums, he was just being true to himself. And both are super thankful, hindi sila nakakalimot mag thank you palagi and magpakatotoo sa harap at likod ng camera.

Congratulations to the whole team of Just The Way You Are and of course Direk Theodore Boborol, such a great story teller, all of these good scenes were brought to life because of you.
I know you might not be fully convinced that watching this movie will be worth your time and money, but give it a try, I assure you that you’ll come out of the cinema in a good mood and maybe so in love. Tag your friends, family, jowa and asawa, iba talaga ang LizQuen kaya sa kanila ako eh (wink)

This is the night we celebrate hiyawan festival. This made me think, may choreography ba na naganap last night, in terms of cheering, shouting  giggling and the likes? Paano? Walang tigil ang hiyawan mga mare, parang o first batch muna tili tili tili! Okay mapapagod na, batch 2 on the right side it's your turn and eeeee tili pa more and it goes on, and that for me is music, I maybe a blogger but I am a fan too and as of to date this is one of the most screams I heard from the Premiere nights I've attended.

It seems the LizQuean tandem is really making its way up, talk about pretty face of Liza Soberano and handsome Enrique Gil, sino bang di mag titili when you see them diba? Ooopsie no this is not yet the movie review, this is for those na hindi nakapunta and nakapunta as well, your support for LizQuen is unbelievable. Watch at sabihin nyo sakin saan nyo kinuha ang energy nyo?! (Palakpakan!)

BTW abangers din kayo ng movie review ko, don't be afraid walang spoilers yun :-)

Para sa Hopeless Romantic  the book has a very special place in my heart, I actually have the very first copy and cover produced, it was a bit thick since it had illustrations and the price was a bit higher. I bought it directly from the author, Marcelo Santos III, I met him when he was still actively joining blog events, tall guy, very young and shy. It was my first time to have met an author and a very young one, he called me "Ate" but we weren't that close yet. Not until we ended up being officemates, and talked about ourselves, dreams, plans and future, I literally became his Ate and I called him "beh".



When he told me about the plans for his book to become a Movie, I was genuinely happy for him and looked forward to it, I know the story of his book and seeing it on the big screen would be a bonus.


Moving on to the movie, I can say that they were loyal to the book, it is really like watching your favorite fairytale come to life. A big factor would be the celebrities who portrayed the roles, they are not just your regular teen stars, they have huge followings. Inigo Pascual although a newcomer knows how to charm the ladies in the audience, maybe because he saw how his father Piolo Pascual did it on screen, I say it's a good start for him. Julia Barretto is undeniably beautiful, with the roots she came from, nobody can't deny her exuding that Barretto skin, charm and sophistication. In the movie, Julia I think is too beautiful for the role of a simple girl, maybe she can do more workshops in ironing out her Pinoy accent para mas masa, but nonetheless she portrayed it well. I was not able to feel much of AJ Muhlach's presence in the movie, not sure if it was about the editing, that he didn't have much exposure on the film, on the other hand, his partner Shy Carlos was a revelation, I now tag her as the next pang bansang bestfriend, she was a refreshing sight.


Now we go to the official love team James Reid and Nadine Lustre known as #JaDine. I think they did a great job, A for effort for James giving a lot to be able to speak straigh tagalog in most of the scenes, even though they had to make him kayumanggi for the movie, he is still super handsome and hot! Nadine on the other hand proved that simplicity is beauty, she had very light make-up but still her beauty reigns. Acting wise, they could still improve, especially on scenes na pa-kilig, the right timing and maybe more emotions from the eyes para more effective.



I realized in this movie the downside of being loyal to the book, there were scenes that made me felt bored, long talking scenes and some just plainly bland backgrounds, the movie was okay for me, but I would still personally choose the book and would prefer my own imagination to create my own movie in my head.

Amidst the storm warning that came in during the night of this big event, the Red Carpet Premiere of She’s Dating The Gangster #SDTG was still a major success. The mall was full packed of fans waiting to get a glimpse of their favourite Teen King and Queen to arrive. Three Cinemas were prepared for this one epic night, maybe because the book was well known and fans of both the book and KathNiel joined forces to have this occasion a memorable one.

On to the movie, get ready for a very brave Daniel Padilla and a comic Kathryn Bernardo. They were both a revelation in the sense that they portrayed their two-part roles on the film very well. I watched their first movie before “Must Be Love”; they were both natural as teens there, that’s why it was a good movie as well. But SDTG made me love them more. Kathryn can now actually pull off a kikay role, an annoying but loveable pretty young lady who’s just full of good vibes. On the other hand, Daniel Padilla is now becoming a young man as an actor; he can now actually connect to the viewers through his feelings, through his eyes and through his words. Direk Cathy Garcia-Molina said during our blogger’s conference that Daniel has a lot of restrictions than Kathryn, but she was happy that DJ was professional enough to embrace the role and did those parts (If only to spoil, I would love to share those scenes, lol!). 

I haven’t read the book, but I believe the full story is so beautiful that it turned out to be a movie not just for teens but for every one of us who believes in “one great love”.  I had my husband come with me during this premiere night, I just wanted him to experience how it was, and he is not much of a fan of Romantic-Comedy Filipino films. But after the movie he said, he enjoyed the experience and that it was a good and beautiful movie. And may I just add, this is not the usual Star Cinema family movie having one of the characters as poor or as a bread winner carrying all the problems of the family. In short this is very refreshing, light and full of love, maybe Star Cinema should invest more on creating books to life and be able to encourage more people to write good stories.

Victorious as it is in the movie houses, Starting Over Again and Star Cinema once again celebrated a momentous event. The event was attended by its cast, staff and crew and of course the artists: Piolo Pascual, Toni Gonzaga, Iza Calzado and Director Olivia “Inang” Lamasan. 

Of course present din ang mga ABS-CBN big bosses na sina Sir Gabby Lopez, Ma’am Charo Santos-Concio and Star Cinema Head Tita Malou Santos. Everyone was in the mood for good food, chitchats and laughs. When the program started, staff and crew members gave their views and experiences about the movie. Direk Olive Lamasan gave out some insights and stories on the stress and pressure they have to go through especially on fighting for the story on how it would end. She said “for the first time Star Cinema was divided” admittedly Tita Malou doesn’t want it to end as what it happened in the story, Direk and Inang was at a cold war during those trying times but as Inang said, she prayed hard for it and to make the long story short her prayer was answered, Tita Malou gave her precious “Yes” for what the ending is now, and up to this moment people are applauding the story and how realistic it was.

Piolo was emotional and thankful at the same time that he was given another chance to work with Inang, they had “tampuhan” before, Papa P also revealed that he actually planned to quit showbiz and live a private life in the US, but this project came and after the revelation on how the moviegoers reacted and millions came in he was shocked and just so thankful that he still has it. Toni Gonzaga was all praises to the Lord Almighty for this success, she said long years of waiting was all worth it and jokes that she hopes it wouldn’t take that long again for her to be able to work once more with Piolo. They were asked if they wanted a part 2 of SOA? They answered no, and it would be better if there will be a different story.

It was indeed a wonderful evening. Congratulations Starting Over Again Team!

Victorious as it is in the movie houses, Starting Over Again and Star Cinema once again celebrated a momentous event. The event was attended by its cast, staff and crew and of course the artists: Piolo Pascual, Toni Gonzaga, Iza Calzado and Director Olivia “Inang” Lamasan. 

Of course present din ang mga ABS-CBN big bosses na sina Sir Gabby Lopez, Ma’am Charo Santos-Concio and Star Cinema Head Tita Malou Santos. Everyone was in the mood for good food, chitchats and laughs. When the program started, staff and crew members gave their views and experiences about the movie. Direk Olive Lamasan gave out some insights and stories on the stress and pressure they have to go through especially on fighting for the story on how it would end. She said “for the first time Star Cinema was divided” admittedly Tita Malou doesn’t want it to end as what it happened in the story, Direk and Inang was at a cold war during those trying times but as Inang said, she prayed hard for it and to make the long story short her prayer was answered, Tita Malou gave her precious “Yes” for what the ending is now, and up to this moment people are applauding the story and how realistic it was.

Piolo was emotional and thankful at the same time that he was given another chance to work with Inang, they had “tampuhan” before, Papa P also revealed that he actually planned to quit showbiz and live a private life in the US, but this project came and after the revelation on how the moviegoers reacted and millions came in he was shocked and just so thankful that he still has it. Toni Gonzaga was all praises to the Lord Almighty for this success, she said long years of waiting was all worth it and jokes that she hopes it wouldn’t take that long again for her to be able to work once more with Piolo. They were asked if they wanted a part 2 of SOA? They answered no, and it would be better if there will be a different story.

It was indeed a wonderful evening. Congratulations Starting Over Again Team!
