Xian Lim Eats the Food Brought by Jolo Revilla for Kim Chiu

Mismong si Kim Chiu ang nagsabing napaka-galante ng isa sa tatlong leading man niya sa My Binondo Girl na si Jolo Revilla. Palagi raw itong nagdadala ng makakain nila sa set ng kanilang serye. Nang malaman daw nito na paborito niya ang siomai, na ito lamang ang kinakain niya sa uma­ga, tanghali, at gabi ay dinalhan siya nito sa set. Pero hindi lamang para sa kanya ang dala kundi sa lahat ng katrabaho nila. Ang dalawa pang leading man niya na sina Xian Lim at Matteo Giudicelli, at maski na sina Gina Pareno at Cherry Pie Picache ay nakikikain pa sa siomai niya.



“Ang takaw-takaw nga ni Xian, palagi na lang nanghihingi ng siomai ko,” sabi ng primetime princess ng ABS-CBN na binabalikan ang paggawa ng serye.



Pero kung si Jolo ay sa pagkain kinukuha ang loob niya, si Xian ay tinuturuan siyang tumugtog ng mga musical instrument tuwing break nila. Sa kabila ng effort ng dalawa na makagaanan niya ng loob, inamin ni Kim na closest siya sa Fil-Italian na si Matteo na kapwa niya Bisaya kaya madali silang nagkaintindihan. Ilang beses na rin silang lumabas hindi para mag-date kundi para mag-bonding.



Natawa si Kim nang may magtanong sa kanya kung nagpaalam ba siya kay Maja Salvador para makapareha si Matteo.



“Hindi, bakit naman ako magpapaalam sa kanya hindi naman ako ang kumuha kay Matteo kundi ang produksiyon. I’m sure sinasabi ni Matteo kay Maja kung ano ang mga ginagawa niya kaya aware ito na magkasama kami sa My Binondo Girl,” paliwanag ni Kim.



Palabas na ang My Binondo Girl sa August 22 sa Primetime Bida ng ABS CBN, Lunes hanggang Biyernes sa oras ng Guns and Roses.

In "My Binondo Girl," Picache will play the character of Margaret dela Vega.



Asked if she is not getting tired of doing antagonist roles, Picache replied, "Kontrabida na yata ako all the way. Hindi naman nakaka-stress, mas maganda 'yon kapag nasa soap mas napapaglaruan mo."

Gerald Anderson Loses 15 Pounds for Budoy

Actor Gerald Anderson said he lost 15 pounds for his role in ABS-CBN's newest series, "Budoy."



In an interview during a press conference for his product endorsement, Dermablend soap, Anderson said he had to exercise and follow a strict diet to get back in shape.



"Siyempre kailangan po bagong itsura, of course," he told abs-cbnNEWS.com.



"Fifteen pounds, actually, 185 pounds to 170 pounds. Sa diet ito, exercise, cardio," he added.



The actor admitted that he needed to slim down not only because he has a new project but also because he is already overweight.



"Oh yes, overweight [na ako]. Actually sabay kami ni Sam (Milby), galing kaming States, kain kami nang kain doon. When I got back, doon nag-start na akong mag-research, mag-diet at mag-exercise. So I'm happy sa weight ko ngayon, mas magaan, mas fit," he said.



Anderson then described Budoy, his character in the new television series.



"Si Budoy ay isang 20- to 22-year-old man [pero] ang isip niya is 10 years old. Ang makikita niyo doon, ang journey ng buhay niya. 'Yung sino ba talaga ang pamilya niya at saan siya manggagaling, bakit siya ayaw tanggapin ng mga tao eh araw-araw ang ginagawa niya lang ay mag-smile sa tao at tinutulungan niya ang tao, tapos di siya tinatanggap. Isang mali lang parang napakalaki na ng ginawa niya," he shared.



He added that the new show, which will premiere on ABS-CBN before the year-end, gave him a better understanding of people with disabilities.

Justin Gonzales Got Break in Maria la del Barrio

Newcomer Justin Gonzales shared that he was so surprised when he learned that he had a role in the teleserye Maria La Del Barrio as the childhood friend and secret admirer of lead star Erich Gonzales. In an interview with ABS-CBN.com, the 19 year-old said he hopes more people will take notice of him in this teleserye. “Sobrang masaya and excited pero at the same time kinakabahan kasi malaking role. I just hope other bigger opportunities will come. Lagi naman akong nagdadasal for more blessings. I trust naman ABS-CBN that they know what’s best for me. Every time naman na binibigyan ako ng work I always give my best.”



He added that to be paired with Erich is such a big honor and he currently enjoys spending time with the actress on the set. “Nakilala ko siya nung nag-guest ako sa Magkaribal. Hindi kami masyadong nakapagkwentuhan dun. But here in Maria La Del Barrio since laging magkasama ‘yung mga characters namin mas madalas ko siyang makausap sa set. She’s fun to be with.”



Justin had done a few guest appearances in various ABS-CBN programs like in a couple episodes of Maalaala Mo Kaya. He was discovered by Star Magic when he used to be a part of an all-male dance group that used to serve as back up for Joross Gamboa and Gerald Anderson. “I was a backup dancer of Joross, magkasama kami ni Gerald noon. Before pa nun mag-PBB si Gerald. Then after mag-PBB ni Gerald, ‘yung grupo nag-backup naman for him. Dun ako na-discover ng manager ko ngayon and he recommended me sa Star Magic.”



As he aspires to someday follow in the footsteps of Gerald and other Kapamilya hot leading men, Justin doesn’t want people to think that he is intentionally emulating his good friend. “Gerald is Gerald na. I want to achieve rin kung ano ‘yung na achieve niya pero gusto ko rin magkaroon ng sarili kong name.”



Justin explained that he feels he is at the right age to do kissing scenes should it be required in Maria La Del Barrio. But if he has to take his shirt of for a scene, he said he needs time to work out. “Open naman ako for kissing scenes. Pero kung maghuhubad hindi pa ready ‘yung katawan ko kasi payat pa ako ngayon. I need to start working out muna.”

Kim Chiu Made Sacrifices for New Teleserye

Actress Kim Chiu is sacrificing a lot for her new series "My Binondo Girl."



In an interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, Chiu said that it was not easy to play the role of Jade, a young lady who will pretend to be a young man to feel the love of her Chinese father.



Actress Kim Chiu binds breasts for "My Binondo Girl"



Chiu said that aside from lowering the tone of her voice, she also needs to endure the pain of binding her breasts.



"Bine-bend ko siya ng bendang benda na konti na lang yung hininga ko. Basta yung hininga mo ay konti lang kasi ang sikip sikip na tapos ang init init pa at sobrang masakit na kapag gumalaw ka ng todo ay masakit," Chiu said.



Despite the hardship, Chiu said there's no reason to worry because the show's production was there to help.



"Hindi naman (nagwo-worry) at ok lang naman yon. At saka kapag take lang naman namin bini-benda kapag cut na tinatanggal namin," she added.



Chiu also shared said that for the series, she had to watch shows where girls pretended to be boys like "Hana Kimi" and "Boys Don't Cry."

In the end, Chiu hopes that viewers would see her effort for the show and would watch it from beginning till end.



"Well sana, tina-try ko naman ang full effort ko para mapaganda ang show na ito. Masaya ako na binigyan ako ng ganitong klaseng chance at tiwala. Siyempre gagampanan ko yon sa abot ng aking makakaya. Hanggang kaya ko gagawin ko," she said.



Meamwhile, Chiu was also game in addressing question if she would be willing to do a kissing scene with a girl.



"Kung sa ikakaganda ng show na ito bakit hindi? Napanindigan ko nga na ako ay lalaki, eh role lang naman ito. Ok ako sa ikakaganda ng show na ito, sa ikagugulat niyo bakit hindi?" she said.



Asked which girl she prefers to kiss, she said: "Ayaw ko ng maging choosy. Kahit sino na lang."

Jason Abalos Doesn't Mind Playing Second Lead

Jason Abalos said that he doesn’t mind playing second lead in Reputasyon since he has had his fair share of exposure on other Kapamilya shows. “Natuwa ako kasi sa Alynna at Bianong Bulag, binigyan ako ng project na lead role talaga. Yung mga ganito, nakakatuwa kasi humingi sila ng tulong ko para magbigay ng suporta sa isang show. Una yung Agua Bendita, si Matteo (Guidicelli) at Andi (Eigenmann) kailangan mo suportahan sila ’di ba? Parang ako, nakakatuwa kasi ginagamit nila akong poste para panawid sa aming tatlo nila Cristine (Reyes) at Rayver (Cruz). Ang mahalaga yung tiwala nila (ABS-CBN management) sa akin buong-buo.”



While he would certainly welcome bigger projects coming his way, Jason explained that longevity in showbiz is what he’s really aiming for. In fact, the talented actor has never been accused of being particular about his roles from the very start. “Ang hirap naman kung ngayon may trabaho ka, tapos bukas maprapraning ka kakaisip kung anong susunod mong project. Kaya okay sa akin ang nangyayari sa career ko, kasi ang plano ko gusto ko tumagal. At the same time, yung craft mo napag-aaralan mo ng mabuti. Mas minamahal mo siya kasi ang dami mong nadi-discover sa bawat project na ginagawa mo.”



Jason, who recently starred in Cinemalaya’s Rakenrol, expressed how happy he is now that more Filipinos have come to appreciate such indie films. “Nakakatuwa kasi nanood ako ng Cinemalaya. Sobrang dami ng tao. Naalala ko nung nag-Endo kami nun, bilang lang ang tao eh. Pero ilang taon lang ang dumaan, ngayon lahat ng tickets sold out at sa pagkakaalam ko umabot ata ng 50,000 ang nanood ng Cinemalaya,” said the 26-year-old who has top-billed Endo (2007) and Adela (2008) among others. “Hanggang ngayon willing ako gumawa ng indie film kasi yun ang nagbukas sa akin ng realidad ng showbiz eh, dun ko nakita yung totoong trabaho.”

Jake Roxas on Maria la del Barrio

Jake Roxas started out in showbiz during the late ‘90s doing teenybopper roles. He was said to be on his way to leading man status just like Richard Gomez and Aga Muhlach, but his career took a sudden setback and he faded away from the limelight.



After staging a comeback with Imortal, he’s now part of the upcoming teleserye Maria La Del Barrio top-billed by Erich Gonzales and Enchong Dee. During the press conference of the drama series, Jake said he never regretted his decision to leave showbiz to become a family man. “Wala namang regret. May pinili kasi akong iba kaya hindi ko narating ‘yun. Hindi ko ginamit ‘yung aking baraha at pinili ko ‘yung mas maayos. Happy naman ako na nandito na ako as Kapamilya. Malaki ang utang na loob ko sa kanila. Natutuwa ako na natutuwa sila sa trabaho ko at nabibigyan pa rin nila ako ng trabaho.” Jake now has three kids aged fifteen, ten, and nine years old.



He explained that he wanted his kids to grow up with him always present instead of him being caught up in showbiz commitments. “Laki kasi ako sa lola. Nasanay akong wala ‘yung magulang ko. Ayoko namang mangyari rin ‘yun sa mga anak ko. Kaya iniwan ko ‘yung showbiz para makasama ko ‘yung mga anak ko.”



But he eventually missed acting, and when he decided to come back, he was fortunate enough to get help from Direk Chito Roño who got him two teleseryes. “Nung ready na ako mag-showbiz uli, I was lucky kasi nakita ako ni Direk Chito at inalok niya ako ng role sa Magkano ang Iyong Dangal?Sumunod dun ‘yung Imortal, at ngayon kasama ako sa Maria La Del Barrio. Mas happy akong magtrabaho ngayon kasi tunay acting ang gusto kong ipakita.”



Jake was asked to clear up the rumor that the reason he went missing from the limelight for a while was because of his attitude problem. The actor explained, “Nung time na ‘yun kasi, ‘yung manager ko galing sa advertising. Wala kami masyadong kakilala sa showbiz. E may mga natapakan, kaya ayun napaginitan kami. Hindi ko pa alam kung paano maglaro dati so maraming nambato. Bata pa ako nun. Pagbalik ko, humingi na rin ako ng sorry. Kaya ngayon nakabalik na ako.”

Ejay Falcon Closer Now to Empress

After the primetime series Guns and Roses started last June, Ejay Falcon admitted that he and onscreen partner Empress have been spending more and more time together mainly because of their long taping days on the set. The 21-year-old actor said that even before they started doing the show, he and Empress were already friends. “Hindi pa nagsa-start yung Guns and Roses, kaibigan ko na siya. Nararamdaman ko na mabait siya kaya nagiging doble lang yung closeness ngayon kasi palagi kaming magkasama,” he shared.



Ejay said that even if he develops feelings for Empress, he prefers to keep things simple for now. “Masaya kasi kami na magkaibigan. Baka kasi magkaroon ng ilangan. Pero siyempre sa ngayon mahirap sagutin yan. Yung driver niya mama niya. Tapos kasama rin yung tatay niya. Patagalin muna natin yung pagiging magkaibigan namin,” he said.



Although it was Empress who admitted to Push.com.ph that her parents think Ejay is a nice guy, the former PBB Teen said he does not want to abuse their trust and just makes sure he treats Empress well on the set. “Ginagawa ko lang yung pagiging leading man ko siguro. Hindi ko masasabing nagpaparamdam ako pero ginagawa ko yung kagaya nung sinasabi ni Empress na kung gentleman yung ginagawa ko sa kanya, yun lang,” he admitted.



But Ejay admitted that it’s not hard to fall for someone like Empress. “Kahit naman sino yata, maiisip na maganda siya at mabait. Sobrang bait talaga niya. Pero ngayon mas masarap na magkaibigan kami. Mas close na kami ngayon kasi parati na kaming nagkakasama. Parati kami sa tapings at mga guestings. Madalas kaming nag-uusap. So masasabi ko na mas close kami ngayon. Napakabait niya, napaka-masunurin sa mga magulang. Yun lang ang masasabi ko. Hindi yan pasaway. Kasi pag lumalabas kami as a group, maaga yan umuuwi kasi bawal sa mga magulang,” he explained.



In Guns and Roses, Ejay plays the role of Robin Padilla’s younger brother Onat, a policeman who torments his older brother Abel as punishment for abandoning their family. Ejay said that he really studied his character well because he knew he would be doing a lot of scenes opposite his idol, Robin Padilla. “Siyempre lahat naman kasi ng bagay napapag-aralan. Dati kasi nung nag-uumpisa kami, mahirap para sa akin yung role kasi mahirap magalit sa kanya. Kasi nauna na kasi na idol ko siya. May ganun yun eh. Kapag kaharap mo yung idol mo parang ang hirap magalit sa isang tao na gusto mo. Pero dahil sa tulong nila Direk at ng workshops, siguro napapag-aralan naman and ngayon naman, mas okay na,” he admitted.



Ejay is also thankful about all the positive feedback he has been getting regarding his acting improvement as shown on Guns and Roses. “Happy ako. Siyempre pinagpapasalamat ko sa lahat ng nakakapansin. Di ba dati sa Katorse madaming nakakapansin na hindi ako marunong, hindi pa ako hinog pero ngayon hinog na daw umarte kaya masaya ako,” he said.

Enchong Dee Aims to Gain People's Respect

Sa The Buzz ay very general si Enchong Dee sa kanyang sagot nang tanungin siya ng host ng show na si Charlene Gonzalez hinggil sa taong nagpapasaya sa kanya ngayon. “Of course my family and some other people,” pa-safe na tugon ng aktor na gaganap bilang si Luis Fernando sa Filipino adaptation ng Mexicanovela hit, Maria la del Barrio. Nali-link ngayon si Enchong kay Julia Montes pero itinatanggi ng dalawa na sila na nga.



Sa buhay nga raw niya ngayon, kung mayroon pa siyang mahihiling, ito ay respeto mula sa ibang tao. “I always tell them you don’t have to admire me, hindi mo naman ako kailangang magustuhan. Kailangan ko lang ng respect ng isang tao kasi bilang artista ginagawa mo ‘yung trabaho mo, ginagawa mo ‘yung best mo. Ang sini-share mo ‘yung kalahati ng buhay mo sa kanila.”



Nang tanungin kung ano ang hindi pa alam ng tao tungkol sa kanya, ang sagot ni Enchong, “I’m very normal.” Pagbibigay niya ng halimbawa may mga araw daw na kapag walang ginagawa ay nasa bahay lang siya at buong araw na hindi siya naliligo. “’Yung mga ganong bagay na you get to show the people hindi porket andito kami sa estadong ito kumbaga extraordinary na kami.”



Kahit nga unti-unti nang may napatutunayan si Enchong sa showbiz, patuloy pa rin ang pagiging achiever niya sa akademya. Pagka-graduate kasi niya ay nag-enroll si Enchong ng post-graduate studies o masteral degree pero hindi niya ito maipag-patuloy dahil sa kanyang hectic ng showbiz schedule. “Gusto ko talagang mag-stay sa school. Sabi ko nga if I’m not doing what I’m doing now, I’m probably a teacher. Gusto ko ang environment ng school. Kelangan ko lang talagang i-stop because of the schedule kasi once you get a low grade, hindi mo na siya pwedeng mabawi.”



Sa isang nakaraang interview ay nabanggit ng aktor na bukas siya sa mundo ng pulitika pero sa ngayon, hangga’t nakatutulong raw siya sa kapwa ay hindi pa niya kailangang sumabak dito. “Mahirap ang mundo ng pulitika. Ang sabi ko nga my purpose of (wanting to enter) politics is to help other people. Baka naman pwede ka naman makatulong sa ibang tao na hindi pumapasok sa politics, ‘di ba mas maganda?”



Simula sa August 15 ay magsisimula na sa primetime bida ang teleserye nila ni Erich Gonzales na Maria la del Barrio. Inusisa ni Charlene kung bakit hindi sila nagkatuluyan ni Erich. Ipinaliwanag ni Enchong na ayaw niyang maapektuhan ang trabaho nila. Siya raw kasi ang tipo ng tao na very transparent at alam niyang kung mayroon silang ‘di pagkakaunawaan ni Erich ay lalabas ito sa kanyang pag-arte.

Luis Manzano Reveals Upcoming Projects

Aside from hosting Pilipinas Got Talent and Entertainment Live, Luis Manzano happily shared with Push.com.ph that he’s slated to do several acting projects within the year. “In the works na yung soap (Muling Buksan Ang Puso). May nakita nga akong tweet ng headwriter ng show na patapos na raw sulatin yung pilot episode. So malapit na magsimula yun. Tapos may movies na nakahanda with Star Cinema and Viva Films, excited ako pero at least hindi nagsabay-sabay. Kasi yun ang hesitation ko eh. Naranasan ko na yung walang tulog. ‘Di ba sabi nila huwag tumanggi sa grasya? Pero minsan kailangan din bigyan ng halaga ang sarili,” he began.



For the teleserye, Luis said that he’s excited to start working with the other cast members since he’s good friends with all of them. “Si Angelica nakasama ko na sa Rounin. Tapos Dyosa boys yung dalawa pang male stars, sina Sam (Milby) and Zanjoe (Marudo). Si KC (Concepcion) nagkasama kami sa isang episode ng I am KC noon. It’s my first time to work with Gretchen. But I’ve watched her on Magkaribal and I’ve interviewed her a few times sa E-Live, so I feel that we’d get along easily.”



Luis also shared a few details about his upcoming movie with Pokwang, Erich Gonzales, and Enchong Dee under Star Cinema. “Medyo pangit pakinggan pero isipin niyo po muna bago niyo husgahan. Ang title ng movie na prinesent sa akin ay Tuhog. Weird kasi green pakinggan, pero may relevance ang story. Basta nothing sexual or romantic, iba yung atake. Hindi ko pa masyadong ma-explain kung anong genre niya. Tignan na lang natin how it will play out”



When asked about the clamour for Kanto Boys to do a film together, Luis admitted that the project would have to be put on hold for now because of the stars’ busy schedule. “Malabo yung movie kasi may kanya-kanyang pinagkakaabalahan kami ngayon nila Billy, Vhong at John Lloyd. I think Lloydy has something lined up din. Siya nga naguguluhan kung ano at sino sa mga leading ladies niya ang makakatrabaho niya para sa gagawin niyang movie. So sa susunod na muna yung sa Kanto Boys siguro.”

Kim Chiu Tells Moustache Incident While Taping in Hongkong

Drama Princess Kim Chiu said she is happy to return to primetime television with her upcoming series, "My Binondo Girl."



She thanked ABS-CBN for giving her an opportunity to go abroad to shoot some scenes.



"Ito 'yung pinakaunang show na magte-taping kami sa ibang bansa -- and Hong Kong pa -- para sa isang teleserye. Kaya masaya at excited kasi bagong experience for me," Chiu said in an taped interview in Hong Kong last week, which was aired on "The Buzz" on Sunday.



"Hindi naman lahat ng shows ng ABS-CBN may nagshoo-shoot sa ibang bansa kaya sobra akong nagpapasalamat at sobra akong thankful na nabigyan ako ng ganitong chance."



Everything was working well in Hong Kong, Chiu said, until a stranger attempted to burn her fake mustache while she was looking around some shops.



Some scenes in "My Binondo Girl" require Chiu to be dressed as a man.



"May bigote pa rin ako, tapos makeup din. Tapos tumitingin ako ng mga tinda tinda. Sabi ko, bakit nakatingin ka ng ganyan sa akin? Lumapit sa akin, ganito ka-lapit," the actress said, with her hand a few inches away from her face.



"Sinigawan ko siya! Tapos susunugin niya 'yung bigote ko. May ginanung lighter. Sabi ko, 'aaaaaaaa!' Tapos tumakbo ako," she added, laughing.

Jessy Mendiola Happy to be Paired With Gerald Anderson

Sinabi ni Jessy Mendiola na patuloy ang workshop niya kasama ang iba pang cast para sa teleseryeng Budoy na pagbibidahan nila ni Gerald Anderson. First time na ipagtatambal si Gerald kay Jessy. Happy at honored daw ang young actress na napili siya para makapareha ng aktor.

Nang itanong kung paano si Gerald as a leading man, paglalarawan ni Jessy, “Maalaga si Gerald at saka gentleman siya, mabait siya.”

Hindi itinanggi ni Jessy na nakatanggap siya ng mga “hate comments” mula sa ilang Kim Chiu-Gerald fans pero nauunawaan daw niya ang mga ito dahil avid fans sila ng napaka-successful na team-up. Meron naman daw mga Kimerald fans na sinusuportahan ang team-up niya kay Gerald.

Tinukso rin ang aktres na baka ma-develop sila ni Gerald since pareho silang single ngayon. “Hindi naman mahirap maging crush siya, guwapo talaga at mabait.” Gayunpaman, tila ang pagkakaroon ng romantic involvement with the actor is not her priority.

Nang itanong sa dalaga kung crush ba niya si Gerald, ang sagot niya, “Hindi eh. Noong una ko talagang nakilala si Gerald parang, ‘Ay ang bait naman niya.’ Pero hindi ko pa siya nakikita as super maging kami. Ang bilis naman wala pa ngang taping,” pagbibiro pa niya.

Gusto kasing mag-concentrate ngayon ng dalaga sa kanyang trabaho. In fact, kinakabahan nga raw siya knowing that Gerald came from a very successful love team. “Pressured din ako na sana ‘yung love team din namin maging okay. But I guess as individual artists mas maganda kung solo-solo tapos magsasama kami (at) magugustuhan nila kami.”
