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.
Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson Invite Public to Watch Second Movie Together
Actor Gerald Anderson and Pop Princess Sarah Geronimo called on the public to support their second movie project.In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Thursday, Geronimo said she and Anderson are working hard to make their movie beautiful.
“Nagpapasalamat kami sa lahat ng tumanggap ng tandem namin ni Gerald. Sa bawat project namin, ang goal [namin] ay mapasaya kayo, ma-entertain kayo nang husto,” she said.
Geronimo is hoping that people would appreciate this film the same way they patronized "Catch Me...I'm in Love," the Pop Princess' first movie with Anderson.
“Tulad ng sabi ni Direk Cathy, ang gauge ng pagiging magaling na aktor, hindi basehan sa klase ng role o storya, kundi kung paano mo na-execute. Yun ang pagtatrabahuhan namin na maging iba kahit simple lang ang characters and storya namin,” she said.
Anderson, for his part, said he is looking forward to working again with Geronimo as they are already comfortable with each other.
“Excited ako sa kuwento, 'yung teamwork na gagawin namin dito para mapaganda ang movie. Siyempre mas madali na para sa amin ni Sarah kasi nagsama na kami sa isang movie. Adjusted naman kami. Teka, adjusted from what? Ha ha ha. Mas sanay na kami sa isa't isa,” he explained.
The movie is set to be shown before the year ends.

Former Pinoy Big Brother housemate Robi Domingo has revealed his plan to take up medicine after college.In an interview with “Kris TV” on Thursday, 21-year-old Domingo said that he wants to be a doctor, just like his parents.
“Either cardio[logy] or optha[lmology],” Domingo replied when asked about the specialty he is planning to pursue.
According to Domingo, he is willing to go straight to medical school immediately after graduating from college if his work schedule permits it.
“Kung wala pong projects na dumating, kung wala pong offer, I’ll go straight [to medical school] kasi sayang po ‘yong time e,” he explained.

Kathryn Bernardo Doesn't Want to Assume That She is a Big Star Already
Parehong naging emosyunal sina Kathryn Bernardo at Julia Montes, ang mga bida ng pelikula ng Star Cinema na Way Back Home nang ganapin noong Martes, August 16, ang premiere night. Nawala daw ang kaba nila nang makita kung gaano kadami ang nagpakita ng suporta sa kanilang launching movie. Puro good reviews din ang nakuha ng pelikula mula sa mga nanonood.“Masaya kasi nakita namin sa mga scenes kinikilig din sila, naiiyak din sila,” kuwento ni Kathryn nang ma-interview after the screening. “So natutuwa kami kasi effective. So sana ‘yung mga ‘di pa nakakapanood sana magustuhan din nila.”
Dahil sa magandang review sa pelikula, inaasahang lalong kikilalanin ang dalawa bilang promising young actresses. Confident na ba sila ngayon na lalo pa silang sisikat? “Hindi pa rin po ganun ka-confident,” sagot ni Kathryn. “Siguro na-lessen din po [ang kaba] pero hindi mo pa rin masasabi ‘yon. Ayoko pong mag-assume so sana ‘yung mga tao willing silang magbayad [para mapanood ang pelikula]. Wag bibili ng fake DVDs ganyan. ‘Yun ang talagang wino-worry ko. Tingnan natin ang week na ito kung susuportahan nila.”
Dahil sa phenomenal success ng kanilang pinagbidahang remake ng Mara Clara, marami ang nagsasabing sina Kathryn at Julia na ang next big stars. Dahil din sa magandang launching movie, sinasabing hindi raw ito malayong mangyari.
Pero para kay Kathryn, masyado pang maaga para mabansagan silang young superstars. “Hindi ko rin nilalagay sa ulo ko na young superstars kasi hindi naman parating kami lang. May darating [na bago]. ‘Yung sa akin po ibinibigay ko lang po ‘yung best ko sa lahat. Ayoko namang mag-expect na ako lang kasi maraming kakompitensya din. So ngayon ine-enjoy ko lang po ang blessings.”
Sa nasabing premiere night, sa lahat daw ng papuring narinig ni Kathryn, pinakagusto raw niya ang pagbati sa kanya ng ABS-CBN executives na sina Star Cinema Managing Director Malou N. Santos at ABS-CBN Entertainment Productions Head Cory Vidanes. “’Yung makita ko lang na happy po ‘yung mga boss, sina Tita Malou, Tita Cory, makita ko lang na kino-congratulate kami at umiiyak sila, ‘yun eh. Sobrang magandang prize na ‘yon. Makita ko lang ang Mara Clara family, ‘yung Growing Up family na proud na proud sila sa akin, para sa akin okay na ‘yun eh.” Ang Growing Up ay ang upcoming teen-oriented teleserye na pagbibidahan nina Kathryn at Julia soon.
Bukod din sa dalawang dalaga, umani rin ng magagandang reviews ang kanilang mga leading men sa pelikula na sina Sam Concepcion at Enrique Gil na nagpadagdag kilig sa mga manonood. “Kasi sina Enrique at Sam talaga tinutulungan ako para kiligin ang audience. Kahit na first time naming magka-love team natutuwa ako kasi kinilikig ang mga tao sa mga scenes namin, sa fish jokes namin [ni Enrique] so salamat kasi effective actors sila.”
Kim Chiu Welcomes Gerald Anderson's New Leading Lady
Kim Chiu reacted to a "Showbiz News Ngayon" report that Jessy Mendiola has been receiving hate mail and negative tweets since she started working with Gerald Anderson for the television project "Budoy."Anderson is Chiu's long-time on-screen partner.
The report said that some members of "Kimerald," or fans of the loveteam of Chiu and Anderson, do not like the latter's new leading lady.
Chiu maintained, however, that most of the Kimeralds have already expressed support for Anderson and Mendiola.
"Alam ko wala naman [issue]. Siguro mga dalawa or isa lang 'yon. Sa 100% siguro mga 5% lang 'yon at ang 95% naka-suporta sa kanila," Chiu told abs-cbnNEWS.com in an interview during a press conference for her upcoming series, "My Binondo Girl," which will premiere on ABS-CBN on August 22.
"Sa ngayon open naman po ang fans, alam ko. At sinuman ang magustuhan ni Gerald ay magugustuhan na din 'yon ng mga tao. And siyempre mas matutuwa ako kasi may taong nag-aalaga sa kanya."
In a recent interview, Mendiola said she fully understands the reaction of some fans.
"Mayroon na nagagalit sila, pero ang iba naman ay very supportive. Hindi naman lahat ng Kimerald ay ganoon. Mayroon lang talaga na hindi nila matanggap na magkahiwalay na ang love team [nila]," she said.
"I feel very bad kasi ginagawa ko lang ang trabaho ko. Gusto ko lang i-clear sa lahat na hindi naman lahat ng Kimerald ganoon, 'yung iba naman nagti-tweet na 'bagay din kayo ni Gerald,' ganoon."
Members of "Kimerald Forever" have denied that the hate mail came from them.
Meanwhile, Chiu also addressed speculations that some female stars are now afraid to work with Anderson because of the diehard fans of their loveteam.
"Sa akin di ko na call 'yon. Na kay Gerald na 'yon wala na po sa akin 'yon. May kanya-kanya na kaming buhay ngayon," she said.
Chiu said what is important now is that she and Anderson are good friends.

Sarah Geronimo Denies Switching Network
Now that she’s back in the country, Sarah Geronimo is busy with showbiz commitments, endorsements, and her upcoming movie Gerald Anderson. After the success of their first movie together, Sarah admitted that there is less pressure on their onscreen team-up. “Nung bagong simula yung aming pelikula siyempre may doubts kami kung mag-wo-work ba yung kami, kung may chemistry ba kami, ganun. Thank God na lahat ng supporters na-appreciate nila yung effort namin in making a good movie for all of them,” she shared.But even while shooting their first movie, Catch Me, I’m Falling, Sarah admitted it was not hard to adjust to her leading man. “Yan yung nakakatuwa sa amin ni Gerald, naging kumportable kami agad sa isa’t isa na nabibiro ko siya, hindi siya napipikon so yun po siguro yun,” she admitted.
Although they have chemistry as a couple onscreen, Sarah clarified that she and Gerald only share a professional relationship. “Ang goal namin hindi maghanap ng girlfriend or boyfriend. Ang goal namin is mag-entertain ng tao. Huwag sana tayo mag-rely sa mga intimate na scenes kasi puwede naman na kahit na walang love scenes or kissing scene. Wala namang pressure na ganun sa amin. Not at all. Kasi okay kami eh. Hindi naman kailangan ma-pressure di ba?” she said.
During her short stay abroad where she took dancing lessons to further hone her skills, Sara said she did miss seeing Gerald. “Oo naman. Napaka-gentleman naman ni Gerald at saka napaka-professional as an actor. At kahit wala kaming constant communication like through texting, nandudun pa rin yung chemistry at yung friendship namin. Hindi naman kailangan na lumalim pa doon para mas maging effective kami as partners onscreen. Okay naman kami. Hindi naman kailangan na constant communication para mapangalagaan yung kung ano mang meron kami, yung tandem, so okay naman,” she shared. Sarah also adds that she has thankfully not received any backlash from fans of the actor and former love team partner Kim Chiu.
While her next movie is still in the planning stages, Sarah admitted she has prioritized her singing career over acting lately. “Wala pang teleserye. siguro kasi marami kasing concerts, priority ko talaga yung concerts. At saka may pelikula naman so yun lang siguro muna,” she said.
But before all that, the Pop Princess answered the issue that she is planning on leaving the Kapamilya Network. “Yearly ako nagsa-sign ng contract. Katulad lang yan nung na-issue sa amin ni Angeline (Quinto) noon, buti na lang yun tapos na. Unti-unti natatapos na. Hindi po talaga totoo. Hindi ako lilipat, ayoko. Grabe talaga yung naitulong ng ABS-CBN sa career ko. Sila talaga yung nagbigay ng importansya sa akin, ng big break,” she stressed.
The 22 year-old said that she has learned to accept the constant flow of intrigues that come her way being in the limelight. “Kumbaga yung issues, talagang never-ending yan when you’re in show business, so tanggap ko na yun. Ako wala na talaga sa akin yung mga intriga. Kasi bahagi yan ng showbiz world. Alam ko na yan,” she said.
The Popstar Princess said that even though she has many projects lined up, it is not an excuse to feel like a big time celebrity. “Hindi talaga. Ako po ay talagang very thankful sa importance na binibigay nila sa akin. Hindi ko iniisip yung mga ganung bagay, hindi maganda. Gusto ko lang patunayan na deserve ko yung tiwala na binigay sa akin ng tao,” she added.
Now that Nora Aunor is back in the country, Sarah admitted that she would love to get the chance to work on a project with the Philippines’ Superstar. “Siyempre dream come true yun if ever matuloy yung makatrabaho ko ang superstar na si Miss Nora Aunor. Hopeful ako para diyan sa project na yan. Sana matuloy. Nagkita na kami dati sa LA, na-meet ko si Ms. Nora. Siyempre star struck ako kasi si Nora Aunor yun. Nabigyan ako ng chance na makapagpa-picture with her. Tinanong ko rin kung kilala ba niya ako (laughs). sabi niya oo naman, ganun,” she recalled.

Paulo Avelino recently signed a three-year exclusive contract with ABS-CBN, and in an interview following the signing, he expressed his gratitude to the Kapamilya network. “Very excited po ako sa bagong environment, bagong mga tao. Kapag ganun lagi akong napu-push sa limits ko. Thankful and happy ako na ABS-CBN accepted me. Hopeful ako na matulungan nila akong maging mas mahusay hindi lang sa pag-arte pati na rin sa pagiging tao.”Paulo started out in showbiz as part of an artista search on another network. He clarified that there’s no bad blood between him and his former bosses, and that his decision to switch was for the growth of his career. “Nagpaalam naman ako nang maayos. Kinausap ko ‘yung mga bosses, sumulat din ako. Alam naman nila na wala akong ikinagagalit. Sana wala rin silang ikinagagalit sa akin. Gusto ko lang mag-explore, go out of my comfort zone. I want to re-invent myself. For my career growth lang.”
The projects in store for the 23-year-old actor is still under wraps, but according to him, he would love to hone his skills in dramatic acting. “Gusto kong i-hone ‘yung dramatic acting ko. Kung gumaling na ako, sana makapag-shift din ako sa comedy, then action, at iba pang field. Kung ano lang ang meron, ayos sa akin. Hindi naman ako mapili sa project. Gusto ko rin na pabago-bago ‘yung mga roles na magagawa ko.” He recently starred in the Cinemalaya movie Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwa ang Paa.
When asked who among the Kapamilya leading ladies he would love to work with, Paulo named My Binondo Girl star Kim Chiu. “Sa mga babae gusto kong maka-work si Kim Chiu. Aside sa galing niya sa pag-arte, napaganda talaga niya. Nakikita kong napakabait niyang artista. Napanood ko siya sa Tayong Dalawa. Hi hello lang kami sa ilang Bench fashion shows. Laging nakaka-star struck kapag nakakakita ka ng artistang hindi mo madalas makita.”
Meanwhile, among the ABS-CBN leading men, Paulo said he has so much respect for Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin actor Coco Martin. “Sa mga lalaki gusto kong makasama si Coco Martin. Mahusay siyang umarte. Feeling ko mas gagaling ako bilang aktor kapag nakatrabaho ko siya. Madami akong matututunan.”
But Paulo clarified that he didn’t come to ABS-CBN to compete or outshine anyone. He explained that he just want to become a better actor and learn new things in the industry. “Hindi naman ako nandito para makipagkumpetensya. Nandito lang ako para ipakita ‘yung lahat ng makakaya ko. Siguro tao na lang ang makakapag-judge nun. Ibibigay ko lang ‘yung best ko. Sana ma-appreciate ng mga tao.”

Erik Santos' 'Kulang Ako Kung Wala Ka' Music Video
Here is Erik Santos's music video for his latest song " Kulang Ako Kung Wala Ka" from his newest album, "Awit Para Sa'yo" out now in all record bars nationwide. "Way Back Home" Combines a Touching Story with Powerful Cast
The movie Way Back Home tells the story of how a family was torn apart because the mother (Agot Isidro) stopped caring about anything else except for her missing daughter Joanna (Kathryn Bernardo). As a result, Jessica (Julia) grew up embittered by the fact that her accomplishments in school are not enough to bring back her mom’s zest for life. Until one day, they unexpectedly cross paths with Joanna and their family becomes complete again. But instead of being happy about it, Jessica’s insecurities get the best of her as Joanna wins over not only their mother’s love but even the affection of their schoolmates’ as well. How long will the rivalry between the two last? When will Jessica stop punishing Joanna for her miserable childhood?It’s a simple enough storyline and one that is used many times before in Philippine movies and soaps. Nevertheless, the dramatic prowess and mass appeal of both Kathryn and Julia prove to be a refreshing treat to moviegoers. Those who have watched the movie can’t help but shed tears every time their characters go through heart-rending circumstances. Aside from the big confrontation scene between the two during a school retreat, Kathryn particularly shines when she has a heart-to-heart talk with Agot, asking permission for her to go back to her family in the province. She is endearing all throughout the film and shows great promise as a certified dramatic actress. Julia, on the other hand, wows audience with how easily she transforms from a rebellious teenager to a loving daughter and sister in the movie. One of her notable scenes is the part where she finally voices out her long-buried resentments to her mother.
Although Julia and Kathryn don’t necessarily need a love team to make the movie work, viewers who are looking for a romantic angle won’t be disappointed at all. Enrique Gil and Sam Concepcion proved to be great additions to the cast since they established on screen chemistry with Kathryn and Julia, respectively. The two pairs even complement each other with Kathryn and Enrique's cheesy but sweet encounters together with Julia and Sam’s love-hate relationship in the film.
All in all, Way Back Home is a must-see film that’s not only value for money but is also good entertainment for viewers of any age.

Gerald Anderson Impressed With Sarah Geronimo's Dancing Skills
After the success of their first movie pairing Catch Me, I’m in Love earlier this year, Gerald Anderson admitted that he is looking forward to his next big screen project with Sarah Geronimo. With the yet untitled film still in the planning stages, Gerald said it might take some time for him to get some bonding time with the Popstar Princess. “Nasa meeting stage pa lang yung next movie namin. Inaayos-ayos pa siyempre yung mga schedule. Dun kami naging friends sa unang movie namin pero hindi ibig sabihin na dahil wala ng movie, hindi na rin kami friends. Yung friendship namin at yung professionalism, yun yung importante ngayon, lalo na that we might be starting on a new movie. Siyempre gusto rin namin sana na ganun rin success nung first movie namin. Tuloy-tuloy lang. Siyempre yung friendship yun yung foundation namin. Yung friendship namin yung importante ngayon, na ma-maintain yun,” he shared.The 22-year-old actor also explained why it is not always important that his onscreen chemistry with Sarah must translate offscreen as well. “Kasi hindi dapat pinipilit sa isang tao kasi kapag may chemistry kayo, hindi po kailangan pilitin. So siguro nakita nung mga tao na may chemistry nga kami and we’re happy for that. Tulad ng sinabi ko dati, dapat hayaan mo lang ang mangyayari, mangyayari. Dahan-dahan lang. Kumbaga step by step. Huwag na po natin pilitin. Kumbaga, kasi sobrang saya namin kapag nagkikita kami, kapag may mga ganitong events, let’s leave it at that muna,” he stressed.
Gerald, who is single at the moment, says he is not courting anybody for now. “My love life is okay naman, steady lang. Ngayon nag-fo-focus ako sa mga ginagawa kong projects ngayon na malapit na ipapalabas. Pero sobrang daming dapat abangan. Teleserye yun na malapit na ipalabas,” he shared.
Gerald also shared that he is not intimidated by Sarah’s Mommy Divine, who is reportedly strict when it comes to her daughter’s would-be suitors. “Alam mo nakasama ko si Mommy Divine for three months, almost everyday nag-shu-shooting kami sa movie. Sobra akong napapa-bilib talaga sa kanya, sa pamilya nila, kay Sarah. Wala naman dapat ikatakot kasi alam mo na buo talaga yung pamilya nila,” he shared.
Gerald also added that when the time comes that he does decide to court someone, it will be when he is fully ready to get into a relationship again. “Dapat lang sure ka. Kahit sinong liligawan ko siyempre dapat okay ako sa pamilya niya, okay ka sa lahat kahit sa mga kaibigan niya para mas malaki yung chance mo ‘di ba?” he said.
Gerald also commented on how impressed he was by Sarah’s dancing skills after taking lessons abroad for a few weeks. “Matagal rin siyang nawala sa ASAP, dun kami talaga nagkikita. Siyempre na-miss din siya ng madaming tao. Oo naman na-miss ko din siya kasi. Lagi kaming magkasama dun. Napansin ko lalo siyang gumaling sa pagsayaw. Talagang sobrang hataw niya. Iba yung stage presence niya nung bumalik siya. Sabi ko sa kanya pumuti siya,” he said.
Now that he was recently launched as Globe Prepaid’s newest endorser along with Sarah, Gerald admitted that he feels more comfortable with her now. “Nagkaroon na rin ako ng lakas ng loob at confidence na hingin yung number niya dahil lalo na magkasama na kami sa Globe. Hihingiin ko pa lang. Number lang naman. Wala namang ibig sabihin yun,” he said.

Enrique Gil Didn't Expect to be Part of Way Back Home
Enrique Gil didn’t expect to land a role in the movie Way Back Home, much less be paired with its lead star Kathryn Bernardo. As it is, his character was supposed to be played by Albie Casiño, who used to be Kathryn’s love team in the teleserye Mara Clara. “Hindi ko talaga inasahan na mapupunta sa akin yung role kasi ginagawa ko yung Mula Sa Puso that time at alam kong may parating akong bagong soap (Budoy). Tapos may tumawag sa akin, ang sabi, ‘Magsyu-shooting ka na in two days for the movie.’ Kaya may konting kaba kasi first time kami magkakaparehas ni Kathryn. Sana pumatok sa mga fans, sana ma-enjoy nila yung mga scenes namin together,” said Enrique in a recent interview with Push.com.ph.The 19-year-old cutie further shared that he owes a lot to director Wenn Deramas who gave him his first major break on TV. “Magandang experience for me yung naging role ko sa Mula Sa Puso kasi hindi na siya pang-tweetums. In-encourage kasi kami ni Direk Wenn na mas mature yung ipakita naming acting sa viewers. Nag-step up na yung role, pero it doesn’t mean na hindi na ako pwede sa mga pang-tweetums na role. Siyempre happy naman ako kung ano mang projects na ipagkakatiwala sa akin ng Kapamilya network.”
As for his love life, Enrique insisted that he’s not pursuing anyone at the moment. He also refuted previous reports linking him to Erich Gonzales. “Siyempre masasabi kong crush ko siya dahil mabait at maganda naman talaga si Erich. Naging close lang kami kasi hosts kami dati ng Shoutout. Tapos lumabas kami as a group ng iba naming kasamahan nung patapos na yung show. Pero hindi naman ako nanligaw [sa kanya], kasi trabaho lang talaga. Wala yun sa isip ko ngayon. Tsaka maraming nali-link sa kanya, ’di lang naman ako.”
Unlike other celebrity couples, Enrique claimed that he wouldn’t keep his relationship a secret if he truly has a girlfriend. “Kapag nagkaroon ako ng girlfriend at the right time, hindi ko ide-deny. Paano kung wrong time? Depende po eh. Kung totoo talaga, ayoko ng dine-deny ang girlfriend. Gusto ko kapag meron akong girfriend paninindigan ko. I want to be proud of it.”
Is he affected by the fact that Erich is projecting a sexier image in her latest soap, Maria La Del Barrio? “Ewan ko, I’m not in the right position para magselos. At siguro hindi naman din masyadong daring yung role niya. It's the management’s choice, so okay lang. Hindi naman siya nagpaalam sa akin. Hindi naman kailangan. Tsaka lately, wala na talaga kaming communication,” he added.
