Bea Alonzo's Teleserye Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon Faces Legal Issues

The upcoming teleserye of Bea Alonzo titled Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon is facing legal issues after director Romy Suzara claimed that he has the intellectual rights over the said title.

"Sana nag-research 'yung title nito. Bakit sa dami ng titles na pwede nilang pagpilian. bakit Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon? Napakahirap at that time na mag-isip kami ng isang title so 'yun ang naisip ko. Sa katunayan nga ay nagpagawa pa ko ng kanta kay George Canseco, theme song ng Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon," said Suzara referring to his movie of the same title back then.

"Sana na abisuhan man lang ako na 'direk sa iyo pala ito.' 'Yun lang. Gusto kong malaman nila na kaya ako nagrereklamo ngayon kasi na bypass ako. Kung hindi siguro nila ako papansinin baka magkaroon ng legal na kuwan pero nasa paguusapan lahat 'yan. Wala naman masama doon kung mag-uusap kami," he said.

"Hindi naman pera-pera yan. Kamukha 'yan ng kapag gumawa ka ng nobela ni Carlo Caparas, nakalagay ang pangalang 'Carlo Caparas.' 'Yun lang ang gusto ko, i-acknowledge lang nila na sa akin ang title," Suzara added.

Meanwhile, the management said the title of the upcoming soap was derived from the song Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon and not from Suzara's movie.

"Ang titulong 'Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon' ay hango sa theme song na may parehong pamagat. Ang kanta ay pag-aari ng BAMI na nasa ilalim na rin ng Star Records na kabilang sa Kapamilya network. Titulo at kanta lamang ang may pagkakatulad pero hindi ang kwento," the management said in a statement.

Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon is one of the first offerings of ABS-CBN this 2014. Aside from Bea, the said teleserye will also star Albert Martinez, Paulo Avelino, Susan Roces, Dina Bonnevie, Tonton Gutierrez, Maricar Reyes and Ms. Anita Linda.

Bea Alonzo and Paulo Avelino Topbill Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon Teleserye

Movie queen Bea Alonzo and Paulo Avelino will be paired for the first time in the upcoming ABS-CBN teleserye Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon. This is Bea's comeback project on television after A Beautiful Affair ended early last year.

The project was unveiled in a press conference held earlier. This new ABS-CBN teleserye, which is a collaboration of Rondel Lindayag with director Trina Dayrit, is set to feature Bea Alonzo portraying three different characters.

Bea and Paulo will be joined by an ensemble of actors from different generations which include Albert Martinez, Ronaldo Valdez, Dina Bonnevie, Tonton Gutierrez, Iza Calzado, Michelle Vito and two of of the most respected veteran actors in the country, Ms. Anita Linda and Ms. Susan Roces.

This will be the first time that Bea will be working with the cast, except for Ms. Anita Linda and Ronaldo Valdez who already worked with the actress in the movie The Mistress. 

Meanwhile, Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon will be a reunion of sorts to Ms. Susan Roces and Paulo Avelino, who previously worked together in Walang Hanggan, and to Tonton Gutierrez and Dina Bonnevie who were part of Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin.

Produced by Dreamscape Entertainment, Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon is slated to premiere this 2014.

Nag-Iisang Bituin by Christian Bautista Lyrics

Sa lamig ng gabi
May pupuno ng puwang sa 'yong tabi
Pagmamahal ang tanging hatid
Patitingkarin ang 'yong kislap sa dilim
Malayo man, maihahatid din ng hangin
Ang mga hangarin ng puno ng pag-ibig

Ang pangarap ko'y para sa 'yo, nag-iisang bituin
Laman ng puso at damdamin ko, nag-iisang bituin
Kahit san ka man dalhin ng tadhana'y dama pa rin
Dahil tayo'y nakatitik, sa iisang bituin.

Tanging hiling ng puso ko'y
Tibayan and loob sa 'yong mga pagsubok
Malayo man, maihahatid din ng hangin
Ang mga hangarin ng puno ng pag-ibig

Ang pangarap ko'y para sa 'yo, nag-iisang bituin
Laman ng puso at damdamin ko, nag-iisang bituin
Kahit san ka man dalhin ng tadhana'y dama pa rin
Dahil tayo'y nakatitik, sa iisang bituin.

Tulad ng mga tala sa langit
Ika'y magniningning

Ang pangarap ko'y para sa 'yo, nag-iisang bituin
Laman ng puso at damdamin ko, nag-iisang bituin
Kahit san ka man dalhin ng tadhana'y dama pa rin
Dahil tayo'y nakatitik, sa iisang bituin.

Kathryn Bernardo Thankful for the Success of Princess and I

Kathryn Bernardo is thankful for the unrelenting warm support of TV viewers for ABS-CBN’s ‘royal drama,’ “Princess and I.”

“I am grateful that we have consistent high TV ratings and now it’s even getting higher. So I really hope that the viewers continue to follow the adventures of Mikay every night because we are all doing our best to make it much better,” shared Kathryn.

Based on the latest data of Kantar Media, the trending and top-rating drama series topbilled by the ‘primetime princess’ Kathryn together with its powerhouse cast Albert Martinez, Gretchen Barretto, Precious Lara Quigaman, Dominic Ochoa, Enrique Gil, Daniel Padilla, and Khalil Ramos gained a national TV rating of 31.7%, or almost 15 points higher than the 16.8% national TV rating garnered by its rival program in GMA, “Biritera.”

Kathryn dedicated the success of their show to its first-of-its-kind story and the commitment of their team. She said, “Aside from the fact that our story is very light with a touch of drama which Pinoys love; one of ‘Princess and I’s big success factors is the great working relationship of the team especially with our directors, Dado Lumibao and Francis Pasion, because they closely monitor our characters, ensuring we execute it right.”

With Kathryn’s show shining in the Primetime Bida block of ABS-CBN, viewers cannot help but compare her with ‘Mara Clara’ co-lead star Julia Montes, who is currently one of the lead stars of another Kapamilya top-rating primetime teleserye, “Walang Hanggan.”

“Julia is really like a sister to me, so there was never a time that competition became an issue to us,” said Kathryn. “I’m super proud of her because I know very well that their show is doing great too in the ratings. Actually, I’m a fan of ‘Walang Hanggan.”

Meanwhile, along with her hardships to get her father (Dominic)out of prison, Mikay’s (Kathryn) heart will be put to test too with the coming of three ‘princes’ in her life. Who will win Mikay’s love–his bestfriend Kiko (Khalil) who just confessed his love for her; Jao (Enrique) who visits the Philippines to look for himself and for the girl who took his heart; or ‘bad boy’ Gino (Daniel) who irritates Mikay at every encounter?
