"This Guy's In Love With You, Mare:" A blockbuster hit on its second week!

After the success of "Praybeyt Benjamin" at the tills last year, here comes another Star Cinema comedy film "This Guy's In Love With You, Mare" which is now on its second week and a certified blockbuster hit with 160 million gross earnings and had 23M on its first day in over 150 theaters nationwide.

I guess one of the biggest and success factors of this film is the characters per se, of course not to forget the box-office comedy director, Wenn V. Deramas. The unique, complicated and fun-filled love triangle story of Gemma played by Toni Gonzaga, Mike played by Luis Manzano and Lester played by Vice Ganda, made the film stand-out since this is the first-ever movie project of the comedy box-office trio.

Direk Wenn proudly narrates, " 'Ang This Guy's In Love With You, Mare' ay tungkol sa tatlong tao na pare-parehong naghahanap ng puwesto nila sa mundong ito. Si Vice as Lester, isa s'yang pusong babae na sinentro ang buong buhay sa lalakeng pinakamamahal niya na si Mike, si Luis 'yun, na naghahanap naman ng isang normal na buhay na may asawa at may anak. Si Toni as gemma, nasa sa point ng buhay niya na gusto na niya mag-asawa so tamang-tama 'yung timing nilang dalawa ni Mike. Ang hindi niya alam, meron palang dark secret ang boyfriend niya."

Hmmm.... dark secret? It kept me thinking what Toni had said about one of the questions that was asked during the movie's bloggers conference- "What is the moral lesson of the movie?" Toni replied, something like "You can never give love unless you learn to forgive." It made sense, right?! :))

The multi-media star also shared her fond experiences with her co-stars and how she promptly describe them, "Si Luis pagdating sa pagkain, isha-share n'ya 'yung food n'ya, magpapabili s'ya, minsan tatanungin ka n'ya kung ano 'yung gusto mo... ibibili ka rin n'ya, si Vice naman, chikahan nang chikahan nang chikahan, tiktakan nang tiktakan nang tiktakan kami nang walang humpay...kwentuhan at tawanan."

The very playful Vice Ganda and Luis Manzano

Toni even added, "Ito na siguro ang pinakamasayang pelikulang nagawa ko sa tanang buhay ko. Parang at its highest level lahat ng eksena. Todo-bigay lahat. Wala kaming tinipid dito, lahat ng ikasasaya ng tao ibinigay namin sa pelikulang ito. On the other hand, Luis shared that he was so excited of the film not only for its unconventional love story but also because he was able to work with his friends.

Meanwhile, Vice strongly believes in the sincere intention of their film which is to spread good vibes among the moviegoers. He expressed, "Ang intensyon namin sa pelikulang ito ay mapatawa kayong lahat at alam kong maibibigay namin sa inyo 'yan." And truly, every moviegoer that goes out of every movie theater has that certain "smile" not only on their lips but it is also kept within their hearts.

Cast hopes to do "Mundo Man Ay Magunaw" Book Two

"Some good things never last." The cast of "Mundo Man Ay Magunaw" had exactly experienced and proven this among themselves. It was my first time to attend a teleserye finale presscon wherein the whole cast and crew of the said hit tv series were all teary-eyed and up to the extent of shedding tears like what happened to the very versatile actress Ms. Eula Valdez.

According to Eula, they always have wonderful moments during tapings. "My relationship with my co-stars really became very personal, to the point that we share stories about our own families. The whole cast and even the staff are sensitive to each other's feelings that's why if we're making jokes about each other, nobody gets offended," she said.

The "teary-eyed" Ms. Eula Valdez

We're referring to another ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Gold hit teleserye "Mundo Man Ay Magunaw's" finale episode this afternoon. The original writer Mr. Salvador Royales even expressed his awe and high praises to the cast's performances and also considered Nikki Gil as the next Cherrie Gil based on the impact of her acting which was a "big revelation" as Ms. Eula Valdez and the rest of the cast echoed upon that impression.

Mr. Salvador Royales during the presscon

Just to inform you dear readers, Mr. Salvador Royales was the scriptwriter of "Mundo Man Ay Magunaw," which was originally intended and created for a movie under Seiko Films sometime in 1990 played by main cast, Ms. Susan Roces (Eula's role); Sheryl Cruz (Empress' role) and Jennifer Sevilla

( Nikki's role).

On the other hand, the beautiful and very talented Empress Schuck received high praises and comments from her co-actors. According to them, Empress deserves everything but the best and hoping for a more successful career in showbiz since she has a pure heart and a very loving daughter as well. Empress shared, "I've learned so much from veteran actors in the show. I think even if I'm not part of "Mundo Man Ay Magunaw," I'll still be proud of it because of its great story and well execution on TV."

The "slimmer" and glowing Empress Schuck during the presscon

The lovely Nikki Gil also expressed, "I've learned a lot not only about acting but also many other things about myself. I'm very thankful to be given the chance to work with senior stars in "Mundo Man Ay Magunaw" because they've taught me a lot about being an artist and being a person."

Pretty face Nikki Gil

One of the tv series directors, Rechie A. Del Carmen was quoted as saying, "Ito 'yung show na walang problemang nabuo."

I could imagine the tight "bonding" that occurred between these people... they were all even clamoring for a Book Two of the said teleserye, it sounded like a joke but I guess most of the jokes being uttered is always half-truth.

During the presscon, I asked a hypothetical question to the two stars, Ms. Eula Valdez and Nikki Gil if what they wish to do if "Mundo Man Ay Magunaw," (if the world will come to an end), the two actress were very generous and candid enough to share us their answers. Please check out their videos:

Let's hear it from Ms. Eula Valdez

“BE CAREFUL WITH MY HEART”: You Can Take It Just Don’t Break It

We’re now very familiar with ABS-CBN’s newest offering in Prime-Tanghali, “Be Careful With My Heart” teaser wherein Jodi Sta. Maria (Maya Dela Rosa) plays a “nanny” to Mutya Orquia , youngest daughter of Richard “Papa Chen” Yap (Richard Lim) in the story and Jodi was instructing Mutya to say “I Love You Daddy” to Richard and as he reciprocates the gesture, he embraces his daughter while uttering “I Love You” and purposely looking towards Jodi’s direction and the latter’s “sweet smile” was so effective that it gained tons of “kilig” factors to the viewers.

Mutya Orquia, Richard "Papa Chen" Yap and Jodi Sta. Maria

And with that particular scene alone could lead us into conclusion that, it is a romantic, light drama, comedy and “feel-good” teleseries which can happen in real life huh, believe me, because I’ve known a couple of similar stories happened with one of our relatives who had married their “kasambahay or yaya” and the other instance happened to my grandma’s best friend who has captured her “kuya’s” (employer) heart and then eventually got married too. Hay, truly love knows no boundaries, right peeps? It is indeed amazing!

She's so stunning!

The stunning Jodi expressed her excitement towards this new project she was quoted as saying “Espesyal sa akin ang “Be Careful...” dahil ito ang unang seryeng bida ako. First time ko din na makakasama si Richard.” She even added, “Natutuwa ako sa role ni Maya at sa mismong istorya kaya tinanggap ko kaagad nung in-offer ito sa akin.” The versatile actress plays a provincial lass who dreams to become a flight stewardess for her to help her family out of poverty.

Jodi further shared that she is quite positive that Maya’s tale will win the hearts of the afternoon viewers because of the “good vibes” that she brings in the story. She’s very assertive that others will be surely inspired by her character as Maya for she’s very optimistic and considers everything can be done and that nothing is impossible.

The heartthrob "Papa Chen"

On the other hand, “Papa Chen” as he is popularly known for his very first appearance in another triumphant teleserye, “My Binondo Girl,” wherein he played Kim Chiu’s father, was equally excited for their new tv series since this would be his first drama where he plays the leading man. He shared, “Widower ako dito na nahirapang palakihin ang mga anak dahil busy din sa negosyo kaya kakailanganin ko ng tulong. It’s more of an unexpected love story. Maraming “kilig” moments na dapat abangan and I’m sure maraming makaka-relate dito.”

Richard Yap plays Richard Lim and Jodi Sta. Maria plays Maya Dela Rosa in the story

The two leading stars of “Be Careful With My Heart” were asked to describe each other during the newest tv series’ presscon held at Dolphy theater, “Papa Chen” said, “I’ve seen that she’s a very intelligent and very strong woman, we have a lot of things in common din kaya nagkakaintindihan kami, and she’s a very fine actress so, I admire her a lot for all these things that she has accomplished as an actress and a person as well.”

Jodi’s reply was, “Hindi mahirap pakisamahan si Richard, and nakikita ko rin naman sa kanya ‘yung willingness n’ya matuto sa work, ‘yung pagmamahal n’ya sa ...kumbaga new found love n’ya ‘tong trabaho na ‘to eh, ‘yung professionalism nandoon sa kanya tsaka, para kaming partners nito eh pagka kunwari sa mga promos, or kahit sa isang eksena pinag-uusapan namin kung anong gagawin namin, kumbaga nag-aalalayan kami.”
