Gerald Anderson Plays A Macho Dancer in Reunion Movie with Kim Chiu

Actor Gerald Anderson will play the role of a macho dancer in his reunion movie with Kim Chiu, tentatively titled Crazy Love. The former couple will be working together again in this 20th anniversary movie offering of Star Magic.

Gerald Anderson revealed to ABS-CBN news that his role will be quite daring as he is set to play something he had never played before, a macho dancer and call boy.

"[Ang role ko] plain and simple - isa po akong macho dancer ni Ate Pokwang. Siya po ang suki ko," said Gerald during his first shooting day for the Star Magic movie last May 23.

Pokwang will play Kim Chiu's mother in the movie so Gerald will be coming in between the relationship of a mother to her daughter.

"Mag-nanay kami ni Nanay Pokwang, kino-control ko siya, kasi minsan mas matanda pa ako sa kanya. Maganda 'yung banter namin, funny and serious sometimes," Kim told ABS-CBN news.

How did Gerald prepare for the role? Well, in an interview with PEP, Gerald said that he did immerse himself in a gay bar so he can have a background of what to do. Of course, the hunk actor was in disguise all throughout, wearing a cap in the middle of the dark bar.

“Nag-immerse rin ako para dito. Pumasok ako sa isang gay bar, naka-sumbrero ako para hindi alam ng mga tao. Medyo madilim nung time na yun at pinanood ko yung mga sumasayaw sa stage. Para at least kahit papaano, may background ako.

The said movie, Crazy Love will be Kim and Gerald's reunion project after Till My Heartaches End in 2010. Gerald said that he is very excited to be paired again with Kim, knowing that both of them had already grown up as an actor.

"Syempre maninibago ka kasi last project namin more than a year [ago] pa. Pero more than ilangan, syempre mas excited, kasi 'yung mga natutunan namin last year, maipapakita namin dito," related Gerald.

When asked if there will be a kissing scene between him and Kim, Gerald quickly replied, "Secret" but added that he is very ready to do it again on-screen with his ex-girlfriend.

Kim and Gerald will be joined by an all-star cast in this 20th anniversary film offering of Star Magic,  including John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo, Maja Salvador, Diether Ocampo, Piolo Pascual, Jake Cuenca, John Lapus and Angelica Panganiban.

Aside from the movie Crazy Love, Gerald will be starring on his very first indie film entitled El Brujo with Jake Cuenca. The said indie film is an action-drama movie helmed by critically-acclaimed director Tikoy Aguiluz. El Brujo, which was shot on different locations such as Subic, Olongao, Antipolo and even Mt. Pinatubo required Gerald his fighting skills using a knife, gun and even hist fist.

Watch the behind-the-scenes video of El Brujo's movie shoot in Zambales.

Andi Eigenmann Leads 'Kahit Puso'y Sinugatan' Cast

Andi Eigenmann is set to topbill another big project of the Kapamilya network. This time, ABS-CBN put together Andi Eigenmann, Iza Calzado, Gabby Concepcion and Jake Cuenca in yet another winner teleserye on primetime, Kahit Puso'y Sinugatan (or Kahit Puso'y Masugatan).

Last May 7, the cast of Kahit Puso'y Sinugatan, Andi Eigenmann, Iza Calzado, Gabby Concepcion and Jake Cuenca had their look test and pictorial for their newest teleserye.

Andi was so kind to share some of their look test photos on Twitter. 

Still thankful with the praises his new afternoon series Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo has been getting, Jake Cuenca said he continues to challenge himself with every new role that comes his way.

“I’m honored, I’m very happy that ABS-CBN again has given me another great project like this,” he said in an interview with ABS-CBN news.

“I just continue to do my best, I just continue to challenge myself when it comes to portraying my roles. I just keep on trying to make the roles, each portrayal of mine different.”

Andi in her Agua Bendita days expressed how much  he wanted to work with Jake Cuenca in the future as the guy was his dream leading man. With this big project at hand together with Iza Calzado and Gabby Concepcion, Andi is living her dream, despite recent controversies she's into.

Before Andi and Jake's name figured as member's of the cast, there were reports that Angel Locsin and Derek Ramsay will be part of the series together with Iza and Gabby. It was last March when it was confirmed that Andi and Jake will be starring in this soap, prior to Derek Ramsay's transfer to TV5 and Angel Locsin's contract renewal with ABS-CBN.

Kahit Puso'y Sinugatan will be Iza Calzado's first teleserye on ABS-CBN and the comeback teleserye of Gabby Concepcion on the Kapamilya network. The series will be helmed by Wenn V. Deramas.

Meanwhile, the plot thickens in Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo as Paul (Jake) and Sarah (Shaina) start their married life. Now that they have decided to live with Paul’s family, the strength of love will be put to test with the meddling of Remedios (Gloria Diaz) in their relationship.

Diether Ocampo and Maja Salvador Team Up for New Movie

Hunk actor Diether Ocampo and actress Maja Salvador will be playing lovers in the upcoming Star Magic movie in celebration of its 20th anniversary. Maja Salvador will play the secretary of Diether's character in the film.

Even with a wide age gap (Maja is 23 while Diether is 37), Maja Salvador was very thankful that she had the opportunity to be paired with Diet, being a relatively more experienced actor.

“Akala ko hindi ko na siya maaabutan, pero naabutan ko siya. Dati ‘diba, bagets-bagets pa talaga ako, nanonood ako nu'ng mga team-up niya with Kristine Hermosa, with Claudine Barretto, sina Judy Ann. Tapos ngayon, ang-swerte ko naman, magkasama naman kaming dalawa,” Maja told ABS-CBN news.

Meanwhile, Diether appreciated Maja's youthful energy on the set. Maja revealed that Diet somehow missed that kind of energy and occasionally amazed with Maja's funny antics.

Maja Salvador drpped a few hints on what the story will look like. Somehow, the film will be reminiscent of Manong Gilbert Perez' Jologs where the characters with their own stories to tell will meet in the end (a 'small world' conclusion) yet this one will show the farthest lengths one can go to for love.

“’Yung kwento nito – ano ba ang mga kabaliwan natin? Ano ba ang magagawa mong kabaliwan para sa pag-ibig? Lahat kami dito, may kanya-kanyang kwento. Magtutugma-tugma kaming lahat, magkikita-kita kami, at sa bawat isang character, mare-realize ng manonood na, ‘Ay, ginawa ko na ‘yan [para] sa pag-ibig.’”

Star Magic's 20th anniversary film offering will also feature Kapamilya stars John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo, Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Piolo Pascual, Jake Cuenca, Pokwang and Angelica Panganiban.

Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo Doha Premiere Moves OFWs to Tears

As soon as the lights went out and the scenes of `Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo’ played, tears immediately flooded the Sheraton Doha Resort and Convention Hotel, venue of The Filipino Channel’s (TFC) premiere of the first ever teleserye shot in the Middle East.

Shaina Magdayao, Jake Cuenca and Bangs Garcia

Filipinos from Doha and nearby cities witnessed the first few episodes of the series co-directed by Lino Cayetano. Personally there to share the preview were lead stars Jake Cuenca, Bangs Garcia and Shaina Magadayao plus Executive Producer Jennifer Soliman who all felt honored to be portraying our kababayans considered modern heroes of our time.

Regional Marketing Manager for ABS-CBN Middle East Maribel Hernaez muses that it was truly a sight to behold as even the male audience had no shame in shedding tears as scene after scene unfolded.

The teleserye deeply touched the hearts of Filipinos in the Middle East because it spoke of the greatest sacrifice Pinoys experience to be able to work and fend for their families – physical distance, something which Jake and Shaina experienced similarly with their television parents Christopher de Leon and Philip Salvador. More than the distance, the teleserye also speaks of the complicated love that ensued between the lead stars, a reality that some of our overseas Filipino kababayans face.

Direk Lino Cayetano and producer Jennifer Soliman

The advance screenings of Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo received an equally warm reception in other parts of the Middle East like the UAE, Kuwait and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia last April 13, 2012. In Kuwait, it was attended by POLO and OWWA officials while in Saudi Arabia, no less than Hon. Ambassador Ezzedin H. Tago (who was coincidentally celebrating his birthday); Hon. Albert Q. Valenciano, Labor Attaché – POLO/OWWA and his better half Madam Didit Valenciano; Engr. Fouad Taher, TFC Middle East Managing Partner witnessed how the Filipinos were deeply moved by the scenes and the lines from the drama series.

Meanwhile, these advance screenings were made possible by Xpress Money and Megaworld Corporation.

Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo airs via cable and satellite in the Middle East, Mondays to Fridays 1 p.m. Saudi Time and via the same platforms in North America, Europe, Australia, Japan and Asia-Pacific. In addition, Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo also airs video-on-demand in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and Japan. For interested parties, contact your nearest dealer or visit www.abs-cbnglobal.com.

'Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo' to Hold Red Carpet Premiere in Doha, Qatar

On April 16, ABS-CBN Corporation and TFC are unveiling yet another milestone teleserye – Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo (If You Will Leave Me) via Channel 2 and TFC worldwide.  The very first overseas Filipino-serye or OFserye, Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo tells the story of two individuals who traversed miles to be with each other and was mainly shot in Doha where the OFserye was set.  

Doha in Qatar is in the Middle East, home to the third largest group of Filipinos outside the Philippines.  Interestingly, while several movies have been made to tell the story of overseas Filipinos in the region like Dubai, a Star Cinema movie released in 2005, this is the first time that a teleserye has been shot in Dubai, UAE and in Doha, Qatar.  

The OFserye tells of two children (Jake and Shaina) of two best friends, played by Christopher de Leon and Phillip Salvador, both overseas Filipinos who served as inspiration to their kids’ chosen path. 

When Phillip Salvador saves Christopher from imminent death, the latter feels responsible for the welfare of Phillip’s family until he himself dies. Fate seems to always be bringing Jake and Shaina together as they fall for each other, and then torn apart with the presence of another girl played by Bangs Garcia.

On April 12 at 9 p.m., TFC Middle East, the international arm of ABS-CBN Corporation in the Middle East will unveil the first OF-serye in Al Majlis Hall, Sheraton Doha Resort and Convention Hotel.

The red carpet premiere will be graced by the lead stars Shaina Magdayo, Jake Cuenca and Bangs Garcia. Tickets are priced at QR 100 for VIP and QR 50 for regular seats.  In the premiere, attendees will preview the making of the teleserye and the preview of the first few episodes which will cover the first week of the airing.

Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo will air in the Philippines via Channel 2 beginning April 16 as well as internationally via TFC especially in the Middle East daily for about three months.

Actress Shaina Magdayao will have to leave showbiz temporarily so that she can recover from her ankle injury caused by an accident while she was performing on ASAP 2012 last February 26. She may not appear on today's show, March 4.

According to Shaina's boyfriend, John Lloyd Cruz, the actress is still unable to walk.

Jake Cuenca Tapes Steamy Scenes with Shaina Magdayao

Hunk actor Jake Cuenca said he and actress Shaina Magdayao taped some sexy scenes for their upcoming television series  (Doha) Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo. Jake, however, revealed he did not feel awkward doing the steamy scenes with Shaina even if he knows that his leading lady is in a relationship with actor John Lloyd Cruz.

Jake and Shaina had been working together for a long period since these two actors were always paired in television shows and series like Your Song and Rubi. Jake said in an interview with Push.com.ph that this helped a lot in doing the sexy scenes in their newest teleserye. 

Jake also noted that Shaina trusted her that much and in return, he always make sure that the actress feel comfortable with their scenes. According to Jake, a totally different Shaina will be seen in this show about the day-to-day lives of OFWs.

Many sensual scenes can be expected from the said teleserye since the characters that the two will portray are husband and wife where the one will have to go to Doha, Qatar as an OFW.  Intense clashing will await one upon the lover's return.
