JANINE GUTIERREZ Signs with STAR MAGIC

She's pretty, fashionable, and ultra talented, but didn't sit at the laurels of her parents Ramon Christopher and Lotlot De Leon. With several awards under her belt, and experience to boot, the gorgeous Janine Gutierrez is now ready to sign with top talent management, Star Magic under ABSCBN. 

Janine says "My role in Dirty Linen was really my dream role. It was a locked in taping, timeless, important and Alexa was really memorable. There's a lot more things I want to do, my next role will be Anna in the Loyalty Game, it's very layered and I'm excited because it is with Jericho again, pretty far from what I'm doing now. I still have Prime Video, I'll show you soon. It's not what you expect for both of us, so that's what is coming up next, plus Cinemalaya with Magiina, with Chery Pie Picache, in a screenplay that is Palanca awardee too. I will be with  Ray Red later this year. I am excited with the way Star Magic mentors their talents, I ask people a lot when deciding things, they've helped a lot of people in the past and I've seen it. I will be guided by them. They have been successful, and I'm looking forward to starting this year with them."

She adds "I am grateful that I have done a lot already but I still have dreams, contract signing with them will make that happen, I have the best people to support me, and Echo, I am surrounded by people that are smarter and more experienced than me. When I was a kid you were all there, and you are still here now!"

Janine also adds "In the beginning it would be negative to ask for help, but now I realize it is an asset for artists to do that. I hope it is one of the things that would make me an even better actress, and a better person. I wish to be part of Filipino projects that would be seen outside the country, I think it's inspiring to see how we will be looked at by people around the world. We have projects to be streamed globally, thank you Prime, and also Balarao on Netflix. I think I know people are helping me right now with my decisions, my family supports me to achieve my dreams. I want to do more, and I even showed my goals with Direk Lauren, and I think he also got pressured after that (she kids)."

You can bet your pretty face that she is going to have more series and movies while under their care. As she also said, she knows how Star Magic actually takes care of their artists. They'll be helping her in career decisions which she says has been a difficult job when she's in new projects. Are you ec

excited to see what she can do now that she is with ABSCBN?

Congratulations Janine! Thank you for being so nice earlier!

JC Santos and Janine Gutierrez Star in TBA Studios "DITO at DOON"

Theaters are opening and TBA Studios is going to have March memorable with a new movie called DITO at DOON directed by JP Habac. It's a movie about a chance romance between Len and Caloy played by the two artists, of which one is a Political Science grad while the other is a delivery guy. They met online and didn't quite end in good speaking terms.

Produer Mr. Vincent Nebrida says "We're very proud of this film shot during the pandemic. It feels good to watch and it's positive about the situation despite of these things."

Janine says "We've all been written as artists about things that are not even true. I've learned not to be judgemental because we don't know them which is part of what's spoken about in this film."

JC says "This is my first time working with her as lead actors, but we have worked in a project where Janine has guested. This is the first time we had a chance to talk, to get to know each other as a person. I really look at her as a person, I don't really do much on social media so I don't read much of what is said about me."

 Here's part of our interview on video:

 The cast includes Victor Anastacio, Yesh Burce and Janine's mom Ms. Lotlot de Leon. Dito at Doon will be shown on theaters nationwide. This is under WASD Films and TBA Studios. This is an interesting love story, will they end up together or be different people?

 Go watch it!
