'Be Careful with My Heart' Movie, Scrapped

The movie version of hit daytime teleserye Be Careful with My Heart will no longer push through according to one of the lead actors Richard Yap aka Ser Chief. 

In an interview with entertainment site PEP.ph, Richard confirmed that the movie version of the love story of Maya and his character Ser Chief is not getting its big screen version anymore. 

"Uhm, baka hindi na kami gagawa ng Be Careful The Movie. Kung next year baka, pero ibang theme na siguro. Ibang story na siguro," Richard told PEP. "Official na wala nang movie," he emphasized.

The said version is supposed to be Star Cinema's official entry to MMFF 2013 but the movie outfit withdrew the film from this year's festival (read related story here). Star Cinema explained that they decided to pull out the movie due to the "tight schedule" of the cast and crew.

"In a way we were really [saddened], kasi hindi namin kaya pagsabayin sa sobrang ano ng taping namin. Kahit tapusin muna yung teleserye, hindi natin masabi," Richard said talking about the cancellation of the film. 

"Basta hindi talaga puwedeng pagsabayin, mahirap on the part of the ano, siguro, the writers," he added.

Although there will be no movie version, fans of Be Careful with My Heart should not worry because they can still follow Maya and Ricky's love story on TV until next year. 

"Naka-hanggang next year pa ang show, kasi it depends, e. Depende kung what the audience wants or what the viewers wants. E, medyo ayaw din naman matapos muna ng management," said Richard.

When asked who he wanted to be his leading lady if ever he will star in his first movie, Richard revealed that he's looking on Dawn Zulueta and Anne Curtis, aside from his Maya loves, Jodi Sta. Maria.

Ser Chief Richard Yap Releases Debut Album under Star Records

Be Careful With My Heart lead actor Richard Yap, who is well known by TV viewers as ‘Ser Chief,’ is thrilled over the launch of his first-ever recording album under Star Records.

“It is a dream-come-true because I’ve always wanted to sing since I was a kid,” said the other half of the ‘Ser Chief-Maya’ (Jodi Sta. Maria) love team. “I am thankful to our teleserye because through our official soundtrack, people discovered that I can sing.”

The actor shared that his self-titled debut album is just like their TV series–a feel-good, easy listening collection of tracks composed of nine revivals that were all chosen by ‘Ser Chief’ himself. The carrier single of the album is “Don’t Know What To Do, Don’t Know What To Say.”

“It covers all genres, from pop to ballad to alternative, appealing not only to music fans in my age group but also to the teens and in-betweens,” said Richard, who stressed that his album is entirely different from “Be Careful With My Heart” album. “This is very special for me because I put a lot of hard work in it so that we could come up with something that’s really worth paying for. I’m hoping that all of my supporters will love it too.”

Richard, who grew up listening to the music of Queen, Barry Manilow, Kenny Rogers, Hall and Oates, Phil Collins, and Mike Francis, feels no pressure getting compared with other talented singers in the country.

“I don’t think there’s a need to compare because we have different musical choices and different target audiences,” he explained.

Featured in Richard’s solo debut album under Star Records are revivals of “Promise Ain’t Enough,” “Think I’m In Love Again,” “Can Find No Reason,” “You Take My Breath Away,” “Chasing Cars,” “High,” “Afterglow,” and the Chinese version of “Oh Babe.” The album also carries the bonus tracks “Please Be Careful With My Heart” and “Salamat.”

Richard’s first album is now available at all record bars nationwide for only P250. Digital tracks can also be downloaded via Amazon.com, Mymusicstore.com.ph and iTunes. For more information visit Star Records’ Facebook fan page at facebook.com/starrecordsphil or follow @starrecordsph on Twitter.

Aside from the first anniversary of “Be Careful With My Heart,” TV viewers also took part in the celebration of Maya (Jodi) and Ser Chief’s (Richard) first monthsary.

Be Careful With My Heart Movie, Star Cinema's MMFF 2013 Entry

Hit kilig-serye Be Careful With My Heart starring Jodi Sta. Maria and Richard Yap will reportedly have a film version which will join this year's Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF 2013).

According to a report published Thursday on entertainment news site Philippine Entertainment Portal, Star Cinema's entry to the 39th edition of the annual film festival is a movie version of Be Careful With My Heart.

The hit daytime TV series first aired in July 2012 and since then, the whole nation was hooked with the story of Maya, an aspiring flight attendant who leaves the province for Manila to pursue her dreams and Ser Chief, a widowed businessman who hired Maya as a family maid and helped her realize her dreams.

Due to its immense success, the show has been extended several times and is now close to airing for a year now. According to ABS-CBN chief executive officer Charo Santos-Concio, as long as the public supports the said kilig-serye, it will stay on air.

Be Careful With My Heart, which is directed by Jeffrey Jeturian and Mervyn Brondial is currently the No. 1 daytime series in the Philippines. 

If the planned movie version of Be Careful With My Heart for MMFF 2013 will push through, it will be the very first time that a film based on a TV series will join the annual festival. However, it's not the first one to be made into a movie. In 1999, Star Cinema also did the film version of highly successful soap operas Esperanza starring Judy Ann Santos and Mula Sa Puso starring Claudine Barretto and the late Rico Yan.

Do you think Be Careful With My Heart's popularity in television will also translate to the box office success of its planned movie version?
