Arie Reyes Hates Miles Ocampo Because of Arvic Rivero in LUV U

Despite their frequent fights on the teen comedy series “LUV U”, Miles Ocampo and Arie Reyes never hated each other in real life.

“We’re really good friends,” said Miles. “In real life, we don’t get into petty fights and snatch each other’s boyfriends.”

Contrary to their good friendship, Honey’s (Arie) hatred over Camille (Miles) deepens because she thinks that Camille is stealing Bryan (Arvic Rivero) from her. Honey will plan her revenge but it will fail and she and Camille will both end up at Principal Spencer’s (Smokey Manaloto) office.

Meanwhile, an inspector from the Villarama Foundation will roam around the campus to assess if the school deserves an increase in budget. In his desire to get this approved, Principal Spencer will think of ways to impress the inspector, to the point of coming up with lies.

Will the inspector bust Principal Spencer’s stories? Will Honey and Camille ever make up? Find out in “LUV U” this Sunday (August 12) after “ASAP 2012” on ABS-CBN.

'LUV U' Pilot Episode Wins TV Ratings, Trends on Twitter

More teens are now hooked to the newest romantic yet hilarious comedy series of ABS-CBN, “Luv U.” This was evident in the TV ratings the program got on its pilot episode.

According to data from Kantar Media last February 9, “Luv U” obtained 11.9% TV rating, which is higher than the 9.1% of a teen-oriented show in the competing station.

Besides the television viewers, netizens are also captivated by this new Kapamilya Comedy offering. On his Twitter account, the program’s lead teen actor Marco Gumabao reposted a fan message that praises his boy-next-door image a lot. “JB, I can’t get you out of my mind,” goes the fan’s t weet.

Marco’s love teammate Miles, on the other hand, also received support from her Twitter fans. “Your love team is so cute. Kilig much,” goes the tweet.

Their first ever campus tour in Ramon Magsaysay High School in Cubao, Quezon City was also well received by the students.

This Sunday, JB (Marco), Camille (Miles), Boom (CJ Navato), April (Angeline Gonzales), Rocky (Igiboy Flores) and Whitney (Kiray Celis) will continue their quest to spread laughter and teen romance.

To see their crushes Camille and April, JB and Boom will convince their buddy Rocky to visit and court Whitney who lives with the two girls. Rocky, however, doesn’t see Whitney as an attractive girl. That’s why he’ll imagine that Whitney is the sizzling hot Ms. Casimsiman (Bangs Garcia). Will JB and Boom score some points with their crushes?

Meanwhile, ng Lamberto Uy Villarama University (Luv U) Principal Spencer (Smokey Manoloto) will host a quiz bee, but something unexpected will affect the school head’s speech. This scene will definitely complete everyone’s weekly dose of laughter.

Crush – Tweens of Pop (TOP) Lyrics
Ohhh, Ohhhh. Alam Mo Ba? Sinong Nagsabi?
Na Crush Ko sya, Di ko sinabi.
Alam ba nya ang aking Feelings.
Alam ko na sa akin sya’y may pagtingin.

Pano naman ang aking puso?
Damdamin nya at nakatago.
Paano mo ba to malalaman.
Ganung di mo naman ako tinitingnan.

Chorus: 
Crush na,Crush na, Crush kita!
Di mo ba nadarama. Crush mo rin kaya ako?
Cross my Heart P.S. I Love you!

Di ko alam ang nangyayari.
Paghanga lang nung una dati.
Bakit ngayon ay Gumagrabe.
Di na ako nakakatulog sa gabi.

Chorus: 
Crush na,Crush na, Crush kita!
Di mo ba nadarama. Crush mo rin kaya ako?
Cross my Heart P.S. I Love you! (Repeat 2x)

Rap: 
Nung Una Ay Paghanga Lang.
Itong aking Nadarama. Pero Habang tumatagal.
Ba’t parang na Mi miss kita? Na Mi miss ko ang mukha mo.
At gusting lagging Makita. Di mapigil ang saya. Kapag nasa harapan kana.

Ito ba ang sinasabi Nila na Puppy Love?
First time mong Mai-in love.
Sa Bata mong Edad. Paghanga lang ba Talaga.
Ang aking Nararamdaman? Sabi nila “Crush lang yan.
Madaling Malimutan”.

Chorus: 
Crush na,Crush na, Crush kita! Di mo ba nadarama.
Crush mo rin kaya ako? Cross my Heart P.S. I Love you!

Di ko alam ang nangyayari.
Paghanga lang nung una dati.
Bakit ngayon ay Gumagrabe.
Di na ako nakakatulog sa gabi.

Chorus: 
Crush na,Crush na, Crush kita!
Di mo ba nadarama. Crush mo rin kaya ako?
Cross my Heart P.S. I Love you! (Repeat 3x)
