Real-life best friends Kim and Maja spells “rivalry” in “Ina, Kapatid, Anak”




After the unprecedented success of the tv series “My Binondo Girl” in ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida of Kim Chiu and Maja Salvador’s PHR presents “Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin,” the two real-life best friends will spice up your weeknights once again via their newest teleseries “Ina, Kapatid, Anak,” starting tonight, October 8, 2012, Monday after "Walang Hanggan."

The story’s plot will definitely hit every Filipino’s hearts and lives, since it tackles everything about love, family, friendship and sisterhood. It is also a story of power, rivalry and acceptance. Kim plays the role of Celine, a poor but very optimistic young girl, according to her, “In our teleserye, the audience will learn how to value their families and how to achieve their dreams. I’ve never done a character like Celine who’s so loud and talkative. If in “My Binondo Girl,” I portrayed a sweet and relatively well-off girl; here in ‘Ina Kapatid Anak,’ I am super poor.”

On the other hand, Maja plays Margaux, a rich and glamorous lass who’ll make Celine’s simple life very complicated. Maja shared, “All Margaux’s things are glittery, but eventually the viewers will discover what’s really inside her mind and heart. What’s interesting about our (Kim and Maja) characters is that both Celine and Margaux are born fighters and they do not allow their families to be maltreated by anyone.” Pretty Maja even added that, viewers should watch out if she will be a wicked bida-kontrabida in the story.

 Thanks Flow Galindez and ABS-CBN. 


We’ll be expecting more confrontation scenes from these on and off cam bffs, isn’t that exciting? It’s as exciting as the two lovely ladies’ love interests, Xian Lim who plays Liam in the story, will be reunited with the “apple” of his eye, Kim Chiu (take note KimXis!); while Enchong Dee who plays Ethan will be paired with Maja Salvador for the first time. Hmmm... really something to look forward to huh! :))

Ina, Kapatid, Anak is relatively based from the movie of same title in 1979 starring the late Charito Solis and Lolita Rodriguez under Regal Films. This tv series is however directed by Don Cuaresma and Jojo Saguin of the fantasy drama, “100 Days to Heaven,” and written by Danica Domingo of “Tayong Dalawa.” Joining the powerhouse cast are highly acclaimed seasoned actors Janice de Belen, Cherry Pie Picache and Ariel Rivera; well respected veteran stars Ronaldo Valdez, Pilar Pilapil and Eddie Gutierrez.

We all come from our own mothers... majority of us have also siblings... and eventually, we’ll be having our own children. “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” is the tv series for everybody. Soon, it will be the “trending topic” of every household. It is a story that everyone can relate to.

"E-Boy" A story about a boy trapped in a Robot's body


This is not just an ordinary tele-serye, it's a fanta-serye that is slated to have its pilot episode today, January 30, Monday as ABS-CBN's newest Primetime Bida, "E-Boy," starring MMFF 2011 Best Child Performer, Bugoy Cariño as the title role.



The first time I saw Bugoy was in a clothing event for kids in a popular mall in Ortigas. He was with his "Goin' Bulilit" co-talents. We had no questions about his dancing prowess, he dances like Joshua Zamora (my fave!) of the famed Maneuvers dance group and he won't be definitely left behind by the quick and juicy moves of Gab Valenciano, Rayver Cruz, John Pratts, Sam Concepcion and the likes. 

This was taken last year while he was dancing on stage in an event

There was one thing that is noticeable about this child wonder; he also speaks and acts like a mature person. And basing from the comments and descriptions of the casts of "E-Boy," during the tele-serye's presscon held at Dolphy theater in ABS-CBN compound, my impression of Bugoy has been confirmed!

Honestly, I really felt glad for Bugoy upon learning that he has a new project for Channel 2 with him as the title role. I must also commend him for his very natural performance in Shake, Rattle and Roll 13 - Tamawo episode with Maricar Reyes and Zanjoe Marudo. I know he would make it as best child performer after watching him (he was my ultimate bet!) and since he deserves more than just a recognition, kudos to ABS-CBN for giving this very talented child, the "spotlight" as "E-Boy" surfaces.

Follow the heart-warming story of "E-Boy", a child robot who was given human characteristics that led him to a journey where he will learn what being human is all about. Through his real-life experiences, he will realize that being human isn't just about having flesh and blood, but more importantly, it is about being part of a family, building friendships, and loving unconditionally. 

Bugoy is joined by seasoned actors Ariel Rivera, Jomari Yllana, Agot Isidro, Valerie Concepcion, Jaime Fabregas, Chinggoy Alonzo and Pen Medina. It will also star Blythe Gorostiza, Arjo Atazde, Carme Sanchez, Akiko Solon, Bryan Santos and child stars Maliksi Morales and introducing Deydey Amansec. This is directed by FM Reyes and Nick Olanka, the makers of the phenomenal hit series "Lobo" and "Imortal."

Walang Hanggan will set theTrend in Philippine Teleserye





“Walang Hanggan” is the most-awaited Primetime Bida drama series inspired by the great novel “Wuthering Heights,” with a powerhouse cast composed of high-caliber actors from three generations that will finally premiere on January 16 (Monday) over ABS-CBN Channel 2.
The powerhouse cast consists of two queens of Philippine cinema Susan Roces and Helen Gamboa; 
        
Susan Roces and Helen Gamboa;

      
“eternal love team” Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta; 


    
and the first onscreen team-up of Julia Montes and Coco Martin.

As Direk Jerry Lopez Sineneng said during the newest teleserye’s presscon the other night, “Tungkol ito sa tatlong henerasyon ng great love. As weeks and months go by, mabibigyan ang bawa’t  henerasyon ng kani-kanilang pagkakataon para maipaliwanag ang kanilang love story. Kaya kabit-kabit po ang tatlong great love stories na ito, ganun po s’ya kaganda, ganun po s’ya kalaki.”
According to Direk Trina Dayrit, “ Hindi mangyayari ang kuwento nung mga bata kung hindi nangyari muna ang kuwento sa mga magulang ng magulang nila dito sa teleserye. Medyo evenly distributed po ang kuwento kailangan lang talaga, mapanood sa umpisa para ma-appreciate n’yo ang mga pag-unravel ng mga twists and turns ng teleseryeng “Walang Hanggan.”

This trending teleserye features the undying love that revolves around characters from three different generations: the love triangle among Virginia (Susan Roces), Margaret (Helen Gamboa), and John (Eddie Gutierrez); the ill-fated lovers Marco (Richard Gomez) and Emily (Dawn Zulueta); and young sweethearts Daniel (Coco Martin) and Katerina (Julia Montes).

Roces expressed excitement over their newest series. She said, “I’m a fan of teleseryes myself, that’s why I’m very happy to be part of it. But what makes “Walang Hanggan” more special is that this is Helen and I’s first-ever onscreen project.”
Meanwhile, Dawn, who is set to revive love team with Gomez, took pride in the narrative that they will be offering to the audience. “The story was so great, that it was hard to turn down the role. Everyone can surely relate with the characters’ journey,” she mentioned.
While Dawn and Richard rekindle an old onscreen romance, Coco and Julia starts anew. Coco shared, “This is a new challenge for me since this is the first time that I’ll be doing a ‘full love story.’ This time, susubukan ko namang magpa-inlove kasi sa mga nakaraang soaps lagi akong kontrabida, lagi akong galit,lagi akong intense, laging umiiyak. Dito palagi akong nakatawa, laging feel-good, sabi ko nga masarap palang gumawa ng love story kasi pag dumadating ka sa set, ang gaan-gaan ng pakiramdam ko, parang hindi ako nagte-taping.”
Completing the powerhouse cast are well-regarded actors Rita Avila, Melissa Ricks, Joem Bascon, and Paulo Avelino; with the special participation of Eddie Gutierrez and Joel Torre. The series is directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng and Trina Dayrit.

The powerhouse cast of "Walang hanggan"


One of my most fave part is being with these shining stars and what do you expect me to do? Of course, "picture-picture" moments galore! First, is Papa Coco Martin of "madlang people."


And there's the "eternal Papa" Papa Richard! Isn't he so sweet? ;) OMG I don't want this special night to end anymore! 
Then there's the pretty Julia who's grooming to be the next Bea Lucero.

I really like Melissa who's more gorgeous in person (promise!) it was my third time of seeing her, first in Albert Martinez's birthday bash, the second was in Azkals vs. LA Galaxy "Dream Cup" exhibition game. ;)

I thought I'd never get the chance to have a pic with Paulo Avelino, lucky enough, we had it done ;) He was so soft-spoken and nice. BTW, this was taken during Walang Hanggan's advance screening at SM Megamall Cinema 6 last January 14. 

Some of the cast of the newest and trending teleserye "Walang Hanggan" after the advance screening. Everyone was beaming and flashing their smile as a sign of sweet success! It is indeed, a great teleserye to watch out for in ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida. 

Here are some of the pics I've captured during "Walang Hanggan" premiere held at the SM Megamall Cinema 6 last January 14, Saturday. The huge crowd that had gathered in and out the cinema is a sign of success and warm acceptance of avid Pinoy viewers.
