John Lloyd Cruz to Star with Isabelle Daza in New Film

John Lloyd Cruz is reportedly doing a movie with Kapuso actress Isabelle Daza. The said movie will be directed by box office director Cathy Garcia-Molina.

According to a report from The Philippine Star, movie outfit Star Cinema offered the model-turned-actress and daughter of Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz a role in an upcoming movie which will star John Lloyd Cruz. Isabelle will be the third wheel in the love triangle between John Lloyd and his leading lady.

Isabelle Daza and her manager Leo Dominguez had a meeting with Star Cinema on Wednesday to discuss the said offer and reports claimed that there is a high chance that Belle will accept the offer since she had no contract with any film outfit (and who would not want to star opposite John Lloyd Cruz and be directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina?)

If the 'Isabelle-John Lloyd-leading lady' project will push through, it won't be the first time that a GMA-7 talent will star with a Kapamilya actor/actress in a film.

Notable cross network projects include Richard Gutierrez and KC Concepcion's back-to-back starrer, For The First Time (2008) and When I Met U (2009). Dingdong Dantes also did Segunda Mano with Kris Aquino and Angelica Panganiban and now shooting for MMFF 2012 entry One More Try still with Angelica, Angel Locsin and Zanjoe Marudo.

Meanwhile, Angel Locsin is also set to star in a reunion movie with Richard Gutierrez now that she's a Kapamilya. Marian Rivera, on the other hand, will be doing a movie with Walang Hanggan star Coco Martin under Regal Films.

John Lloyd Cruz Gave Angelica Panganiban a Mercedes Benz: Report

Actress Angelica Panganiban reportedly received a Mercedes Benz from rumored boyfriend John Lloyd Cruz. The said swanky car was worth P5.1 million, according to an anonymous source of website Pep.ph.

Fans started to speculate that John Lloyd gave Angelica an expensive car when the actress posted a three-photo collage on Instagram last week showing Angelica seating in the driver's seat, the Mercedes Benz logo embossed on the driver’s wheel, and the car’s digital instrument panel. 

Citing the source, PEP wrote that the white Mercedes Benz SLK350 was ordered by John Lloyd some months ago and paid in cash  from the Mercedes Benz showroom at EDSA, had it delivered in his Valle Verde home before having it transported to Angelica's house.

“Si John Lloyd din daw mismo ang nag-inspect sa kotse at naglagay ng bulaklak at chocolates,” the website said.

Angelica and John Lloyd have long been rumored as a couple and the series of photos, sightings and interviews pointed out to a deeper relationship between the two. 

Last month, John Lloyd posted a photo of a "Perfect Sunday" with Angelica using the latter's Instagram account. In the recently concluded Star Magic Ball, the two were also photographed leaving the venue together while holding hands.

It seems that Angelica is very lucky with the men pursuing her. It can be recalled that Angelica was also given another luxury car—a Mini Cooper—by ex-boyfriend Derek Ramsay. The said car named Baby James Cooper was reportedly sold at a lower price after the two broke up.

John Lloyd Cruz, Angelica Panganiban Spotted Holding Hands at Star Magic Ball 2012

John Lloyd Cruz and Angelica Panganiban were spotted holding hands while leaving the Star Magic Ball on Saturday, September 1. The two were caught on camera together leaving the Makati Shangri-La Hotel proud and all smiles.

According to ABS-CBN news, John Lloyd and Angelica arrived separately at the red-carpet event (probably to shun reporters flocking the area) but as the night progressed, the two "were seen together several times until they left hand in hand."

Are the two coming out and ready to shout to the world that they were already a couple?

Last month, Angelica and John Lloyd were also a hot topic after a photo of them having a "Perfect Sunday" together was posted on Angelica's instagram. Later it  has been found out that John Lloyd was the one who actually posted the photos using Angelica's account.

In an interview with The Buzz last Sunday, September 2, John Lloyd admitted his relationship with Angelica as something "special." He also added that he never felt this happy for a long time. However, he found it inappropriate to talk about his relationship with Angelica at the time of his promotion for The Mistress.

“Ang pinanggagalingan ko, for something this special, ayaw ko itong isabay sa promo ng pelikula ko. For something this special, itong sa amin ni Angel, hindi sa umiiwas ako, hindi sa ayaw kong pag-usapan. Never kong gugustuhin na maramdaman niya 'yun, na hindi ko siya prina-prioritize. It deserves a better timing. Hindi naman tanga ang mga manonood. Opo, wala po akong sinasabing iba. Ang sa akin lang, yung sa amin gusto kong bigyan ng pagpapahalaga na tingin ko ay karapatdapat para sa amin.”

John Lloyd added:

“Isa sa pinakamaganda about this relationship, sa amin ni Angel, ang maganda dito is kaya namin, naiintindihan namin kung nasaan kami, kung saan namin ipo-posisyon ang sarili namin. Walang takot to do everything today because tomorrow hindi natin alam kung mayroon pang tomorrow. May nag-e-exist na paniniwala na you do what you have to do today, I’ll do what I have to do today, we have the rest of our lives.”

Angelica Panganiban Hints on 'Special Relationship' with John Lloyd Cruz

Angelica Panganiban posted a collage photo of her with rumored flame John Lloyd Cruz on Instagram last Sunday, the first time that the versatile actress shared something about her and John Lloyd publicly.

In the photo, Angelica Panganiban and John Lloyd Cruz were smiling together with the camera in one of the four frames of the collage which also showed Angelica and a scene of what could be a picnic (or a romantic date) at the rooftop armed with grilled fish and beer bottles.

The photo was labeled “Perfect Sunday!!!! According to the guy in pink.” Apparently, John Lloyd is the guy wearing pink. In the photo's caption, Angelica said "Welcome, happiness. Joy, pursued. Welcome everyone. Especially those who are smiling out of warmth."

Just recently, reports about Angelica Panganiban and John Lloyd Cruz's random sightings came abuzz with others claiming that they have seen the two hot Kapamilya properties kissing. These intensified speculations that Angelica and John Lloyd were dating and now in a 'special relationship.'

Is the above photo a confirmation that Angelica and John Lloyd are officially together and ready to shout to the world their feelings? Both are now officially single after their respective break up with former romances Derek Ramsay and Shaina Magdayao, so there's nothing wrong that these two enjoy each other's company.

Somehow, they look good together. That leaves us to watching the Star Magic 20th anniversary movie where John Lloyd and Angelica will be playing reel lovers. Could it be that their Vietnam shooting made them real lovers?

Angelica Panganiban Plays a Dual Role in 'Apoy Sa Dagat'

Award-winning actress Angelica Panganiban is set portray two characters in ABS-CBN upcoming teleserye Apoy sa Dagat. The said teleserye which is deemed as the Kapamilya network's next grand project is slated  for release later this year.

In an interview with ABS-CBN news after the story conference for Apoy Sa Dagat, Angelica confirmed that she will be playing a dual role in the series.

"Sobrang challenging dahil dalawang character 'yung gagampanan ko. Doon pa lang kaabang-abang na siya," Angelica Panganiban said.

According to leading man Piolo Pascual, Angelica's characters in Apoy Sa Dagat will play a vital part in resolving the conflicts of the show's plot. 

"The story's so rich, ang daming sanga, ang daming mangyayari sa story. But, of course, ang essential part of the story will be Angelica, who's playing a dual role. Siya 'yung magtatagpi-tagpi lahat nung connections ng bawat character, and all of us are correlated and would have to co-exist with her para ma-solve niya 'yung conflicts sa buhay niya," shared Piolo. 

Angelica Panganiban said she feels like in heaven being a part of this ABS-CBN big project. "Parang hindi ako makapaniwala na parang part ako ng isang sobrang laking project. Tapos grabe 'yung mga makakatrabaho ko, makakasama ko, hindi lang mga artista kundi 'yung mga bumubuo ng buong proyekto," she said.

Apoy Sa Dagat will shoot most of its scenes at sea and we can expect that a lot of skin will be bared in the series.  "Basically kasi nasa dagat kami, so doon pa lang given na siya," said Angelica. 

Angelica Panganiban will be joined by Piolo Pascual, Diether Ocampo, Angel Aquino, Liza Lorena and Sylvia Sanchez in Apoy Sa Dagat. This will mark Angelica's teleserye comeback after Rubi in 2010 where she also got to work with Diether.

Claudine Barretto Tries Reaching Out to Star Magic Says Head

Is actress Claudine Barretto trying to make amends with ABS-CBN?

According to Star Magic head Mariole Alberto, Caludine Barretto tried to reach out when she called Star Magic chairman emeritus Johnny Manahan on his birthday last February 11, but Manahan refused to speak to her. "Better things to do," Manahan said.

"They know how they were treated, e. And makikita nila kung ano 'yong iniiwan nila. And I've seen so many people naman who tried to come back. Si Claudine na nga lang....," Alberto said in an interview published in the July 2012 issue of YES Magazine, which looked back at 20 years of ABS-CBN's talent management arm.

When asked if Claudine had tried to return to ABS-CBN, Alberto "waved the question away," the magazine said. "The point is, it's better that you let them go and they choose to stay," Alberto said.

In the interview, Alberto admitted that the rift between Star Magic chairman emeritus Johnny Manahan and Barretto "has never been fully healed."

The rift started  in 2010 a year after Caludine Barretto left ABS-CBN to move to GMA-7.

Claudine at the time accused Angelica Panganiban of spreading rumors that she was having an affair. Claudine Barretto threatened to sue Angelica Panganiban but Mr. M told Angelica to keep her silence and did all the speaking for her.

Actor Piolo Pascual, a prized talent of Star Magic, told YES Magazine that he also felt sad when Caludine decided to leave ABS-CBN.

"That was bittersweet because, you know, Claudine was our first and... It's hard. It's really hard for us because  Mr. M and Tita Mariole naman would give it their all. So, siyempre, ako -- I didn't want any one to leave. But if they felt na they could grow elsewhere, you've got to let them go," said Piolo, who was Claudine's leading man in the hit 2004 film "Milan" and the television series "Walang Kapalit" in 2007.

ABS-CBN is investing on another big project that will star three of the best actors in movie and television. With the title Apoy Sa Dagat, this grand teleserye will star Piolo Pascual, Diether Ocampo and Angelica Panganiban. 

In an interview with ABS-CBN news, Piolo Pascual revealed he will start working for Apoy Sa Dagat next week and will train a lot because of the physically challenging role that he will portray. Piolo has just wrapped up shooting with Dahil Sa Pag-ibig which ended on a high note last Friday.

Piolo also shared that he couldn't resist doing Apoy Sa Dagat with Angelica Panganiban and Diether Ocampo because of its "new" concept and the added challenge of his role being "very physical."

Apoy Sa Dagat is a drama project which according to Piolo will have a 'water element' that is, they will be shooting at sea. This will be Diether and Piolo's first teleserye together. Diether had already worked with Angelica in Iisa Pa Lamang and Rubi while Angelica and Piolo were paired not only in their latest movie Every Breath U Take but also in the TV series, Mangarap Ka.
