JULIA BARRETTO is your TANDUAY CALENDAR GIRL 2024

The Tanduay Calendar Girl 2024 is a much coveted spot and title for empowered actresses, personalities, who had it made in the industry. They just announced who it is today at the Elements tent Centris in Quezon City. Previous calendar girls include Erich Gonzales, Heart Evangelista, Bela Padilla, Ivana Alawi, and Bea Alonzo. Entitled "DARE", this woman has gotten fame with her stint in different networks, shows, brands across the country, belonging to the gorgeous clan, she's no other than Julia Barretto. Dare means one who aims to be herself, to reach her dreams and to inspire.

 

Julia says "I hope that the team and my new Tanduay family are happy about what I've done, it's been a few months since we prepared for this launch. The shoot was easy because I am thankful that they did it in a very collaborative way. I trusted them and have my input, it was an easy thing because they involved me in the process. The fabric we are wearing today is from the shoot, it was a nice to see it all today. I've been given opportunities and there will be a lot of things to look forward to because my films will be coming out, plus a few surprises. Unfortunately I couldn't share much, but a film will come out early next year but we have already shot it this year. The pictorial had me in a very challenging rut because I had to exercise while finishing a project out of town. You don't have to be ready just now, you ALWAYS have to be ready all the time. If it's for roles, I don't think it's daring, I think it's just being confident in your body, in your flaws, it inspires me to be more confident with who I am. I've become a braver woman!"

ALLTV Starts Broadcast With All Star Event

ALLTV started their broadcast operations with a bang with a stellar lineup of stars last September 13 in the evening. Viewers were treated with their favorite Wowowin filled with artist appearances, song and dance numbers, plus the insane games, hosting banter that Willie Revillame is known for. Aside from that, they also featured Toni Gonzaga's interview with Bongbong Marcos which was exclusively shown in the new channel.

 

Ceremonies started at 12 noon and lasted the whole day with AMBS Executives, Toni's pilot show, and Willie Revillame's antics flexing his comedy program bringing entertainment to thirsty viewers. How big was the event? Let's just say they gave out two units of houses from BRIA and Lumina Homes on Wowowin. They also gave away cash prizes, big prizes every hour to make sure TV viewing would be fun all over again with ALLTV.

AMBS President Ms. Maribeth Tolentino says "Our new channel is for the Filipino and what we want to happen is keep them entertained and happy. This is why we've prepared huge shows just for you. Rest assured, we'll have new progams to change your TV viewing experience wth ALLTV."

As of today, the personalities that joined AMBS include Willie Revillame, Toni Gonzaga, her husband Paul Soriano, Ciara Sotto, and Mariel Rodriguez. There are some photos that surfaced today that included Julia Baretto, but we haven't had any confirmation as of this writing. Aside from that, there's now a partnership with CNN Philippines to manage their nightly news program that will be done on primetime. 

 

They are now live on free to air TV, scan your digibox also to get their channel. They are also on Cignal and other cable operators, so make sure you re-scan to see the new shows. 

JOSHUA GARCIA in his latest JOLLIBEE Commercial

Joshua Garcia is the talk of the town today. The trending video he did with Julia Barretto just gave us so many memories of their past relationship, so much that all the things they said on that Moira music video, felt so real... as if it came from the words they weren't able to tell each other before they broke up (if that did happen). Anyway, Joshua doesn't just do drama these days, he's actually working out and if you haven't noticed, he's getting a bit bigger than what he looked like a couple months ago. It's a good regimen which might land him in future roles as he's extremely capable of doing so.

iWANT: Julia Barretto and Toni Labrusca in I AM U

iWant just came out with a very compelling trailer for the new iWant Original story called I AM U. It stars Julia Barretto, who consequently finds her doppleganger and makes her a part of her life. Unfortunately, her character got a little jealous and made the mistake of actually killing her in a truth or dare supposed game. The good thing is, will come out this February 26 on the iWant app which is free to download on Google Play and the App Store.

Julia says "I had to switch characters, it was damaged hair when I got home. I practice lines and do Elise shots and dual shots. It was efficient. In some series I watch I learned much of the doppelgangers and I enjoyed it as much. Elise is well off, she wears the best things, bags, outfits while Rose is simple, very dressed down and she just enjoyed the way they look. The way they talk, the way they talk to other people are different. It is interesting."

Tony adds "I watched Split and I'm a fan of science fiction and thrillers, this was a joy to do with Julia. Kyle is straightforward, he just does so many things because he was intimate with the characters. They ask us if we are comfortable with the scene, even require things but I didn't want to break boundaries."

There's a lot more where that's coming from, go watch it on iWant starting Wednesday. 

Gerald Anderson and Julia Barretto for Between Maybes

It looks like Black Sheep is trying another formula as they pair up Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson for the movie Between Maybes. It’s not fully a romcom but a very light romance.

The setting is a little over 2 hours away from Fukuoka, in a place called Saga. The character is very close to real life Julia but she stressed “At the end of the day it’s my job and it was needed in the script and without it the gravity of the situation won’t have impact, it tells intimacy and it should be done as actors, it shouldn’t be an issue. My mom was happy and she appreciates Gerald in the film too. I don’t think he watched it or I don’t know if he will, he knows it and when he knew about it he told me he acknowledged it and if it is needed he’ll understand, I appreciate that part. I think people forget that we have management, this is well thought of and it’s all laid out in a plan. I have always liked tea even before the shoot.”

JP Laxamana says “The script wasn’t thinking with any actress in mind so when they asked for the requirement she did it. I really admire her, I didn’t want to get limited creatively. We did a workshop before shooting this film and they are good actors to begin with. As I said she is being a professional actress and they knew how to deliver the vision.”

Gerald says “There are days when I want to do this too, there are a lot of people who want to relate to it. I focused on Louie and how he found someone thinking it would bring him happiness but it didn’t end that way. Louie is very distinct, it happens to OFW’s and it’s not hard to emulate something real. I may not be much like Louie, but if you think about it he’s like much of our kababayans who work outside the country.”

Saga was essential for them because it was all quiet, during the whole shoot there they probably saw around 5 people in the community and it was normal, only a handful Filipinos from other cities went there when they got word they were shooting there too. It felt so serene and they had a conscious effort to not look like a tourist spot hopping location, it was rural Japanese villages, it was a decision for them to feature the community.

If you love Gerald, Julia, and Japan, take it to the movies and make them a box office success. This is under Black Sheep productions and there will be screenings in the US, some EU, Asian countries, Japan too. Gerald and Julia is currently in the cover of Saga’s official mag, if you can get a hold of it.

It shows May 15.

Julia Baretto and Joshua Garcia for Ngayon at Kailanman

This evening was nice, more so to see the ensemble cast of Ngayon at Kailanman the new soap starring Joshua Garcia and Julia Baretto. The two have been making waves in recent blockbuster movies, more so with their previous shows and this exciting drama - and love story.

Today was the first day to forever, they had us enjoy the pilot episode this evening with the cast and their fans, plus a glimpse of who their characters were. They set the mood straight and told us the reason why they ended up fatherless, and how their lives got in great danger.

Now more characters start to unfold, but the thing we noticed earlier is how intense each one of them presented themselves especially Iza Calzado, the kids and Mercedes Cabral in the first few gaps. This involved murder, death and lies told for years just to save the young Julia Baretto in the series.

I asked them earlier about having this ended early so they can market this in other countries but they would rather do it for years just like the successful shows Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa starrer years back that got the nod and dubbed in other countries, the same fate definitely wouldn't be bad.

Make sure you watch this show on ABSCBN's primetime slot. It's got more up it's sleeve and we couldn't wait to see more of Julia Baretto and Joshua Garcia on screen. This chemistry must be tested on daily TV.

Julia Barretto and Ronnie Alonte for A Love To Last

"I am so happy to have been able to find Ronnie and Joshua, being paired with them was really worthwhile. I didn't want to give up and I think that word is not in my vocabulary. Ronnie is easy to work with. He doesn't complain and he brings out the 19 year old in me. In the series, I would probably often ask why, to my Mom and Dad, and why we had to suffer with their breakup. Words can't cure the situation. Just the presence, I think that would do a lot in their case and I would advise the kids to do that to their parents. I feel Ronnie is like the Julia thay is misunderstood in the past. He's very humble and he's different than what I experienced in real life. I was really glad that Joshua had nice things to say about me too, I felt it and it was genuine. I love flowers but I'd rather start with a good conversation. The show is real, authentic, relateable, and I hope people would watch it. I wish our trio would work in other projects, and another one that we could all star in. I feel like if we had to choose about somebody to pretend with or with someone real, we know how we would choose how it ends." says Julia Barretto.

"I think maintaining love is about is by being honest. I enjoy being with Julia during taping, she's easy to be with and I just needed an ice breaker to break the tension. I joked a lot with her and I think that worked. I thought she was not going to be pleasant to be with but she's actually very jologs and we're the same. I relate to my character because I work and strive hard for my family. The last time I felt kilig was when I performed with Erich Gonzales during my concert. Our pairing in this program is not like my concert which was a little sexy and romantic but more of a lighter, not best of friends at first, then maybe if there is a pairing, it won't be intended. People say a lot of positive or negative things, I'm just new at this and I know I could improve. I'm happy I did my job, I'll accept if I would be offered to work on an entry again. I would think I can just sleep if this becomes successful. I also hope we get a series of our own and perhaps with Joshua too." -Ronnie Alonte

A Love To Last will be premiered this Monday on ABSCBN after "Ang Probinsyano".

Block Screening Pics Of "Para Sa Hopeless Romantic"

This is the line to the Robinsons Cinema. Crazy right?

I was invited by a blogger friend Iyane of D'Sweetbox who's got friends from the fan clubs of JaDine. They were holding a block screening for their idols James Reid and Nadine Lustre who's starring in the film "Para Sa Hopeless Romantic" which is produced by Star Cinema and Viva Films. It's been a while since I've watched a Fillipino film and this was a treat so I went to the Robinsons Galleria leg and expected a bunch of teens running around crazy for these superb teen stars. I found them very accommodating and nice, going the mile of even having us led to our seats before the film started. The lines were CRAZY. Every one was in a festive and exciting mood because they'll see their idols on silver screen again based from the best selling book of Marcelo Santos III. He's a good chap by the way and we were just a few seats apart. I liked the book and I was somehow expecting the flow of the story to be quite similar in my head.

Direk Andoy Ranay must have really worked the screenplays to impose a lengthy read into a movie, because remember this could only last an hour or more. Aside from that, I had the notion of seeing James and Nadine again as most Star Cinema movies usually have their stars drop by events like these.

They were so nice during our last talk in the Viva Offices, I was really here to see the reactions of the fans seeing the whole story unfold before their eyes. I was right! They all liked it. It was said in a manner where the story didn't veer away from the book with some minor changes. Overall, the movie was really for kicks. Something that would remind you to believe in FOREVER again, if you forgot it along the way. Oh and you'll definitely like the LAST SCENE. I bet a lot would even do that in the next few years, haha!

Anyway, here's some gorgeous photos of James Reid, Nadine Lustre and Marcelo Santos III during the screening. Enjoy!

James Reid, Nadine Lustre, Iñigo Pascual and Julia Barretto for "Para Sa Hopeless Romantic"

We're live blogging from the Dolphy Theater in ABSCBN for the Grand Press Conference of "Para Sa Hopeless Romantic" a romantic drama starring James Reid, Nadine Lustre, Iñigo Pascual and Julia Barretto based from the best selling book of Marcelo Santos III. They're two of the most well accepted love teams of their generation. The story revolves around James' and Nadine's characters who initially hooked up, then when the guy left her she began writing a novel with Iñigo and Julia in it. It's like a novel within a novel, something different, something sweet to offer even in the middle of summer. 

Their love story, unfortunately isn't perfect. Becca (Nadine's character) created her own love story, and still made it tragic. Her bitterness, lack of hope, showed in the story and if she would like to move on, will it happen to her own real life love story too? It's going to hurt a lot of people, you'll learn the reason why Nico had to leave the relationship later on. How can something so perfect get torn down in an instant? Will love survive and become better? A second wind? 

During the press con Direk Andoy Ranay says "Working with them was better because I treated them as my friends rather than a director. It's my style, I know my responsibility for the people who watch this and for the producers. We have the writer and screenplay done by people, what we did was collaborate in different drafts, we couldn't fit all the content in the number of minutes we had for the film. How the screenwriter pieced this together was hard, but I think it worked! Viva films chose this project, they do materials from other mediums now and assigned this material. This was perfect for the two pairs. What we look for them, the characters will make them see, there's a connection between the story of James and Nadine, plus the story of Julia and Iñigo's characters."

Nadine said that in this film "There's a certain amount of responsibility, it's different, we have to be more careful now because we need to be good examples. We strive to make them more kilig when we need to. Everything that I tell him, he comforts me. Even if I'm problematic, he's there and he's like a security blanket."

James Reid says "I became more serious, there's a lot of pressure and we really had to do it. Friends lang talaga kami, there's chemistry but we didn't know where it came from. We just know it works!"

Iñigo said some things about Juila, he starts "She's the closest friend, a person that I can talk about anything. We need to trust each other to also make this work. It's a dream come true to be paired with her."

Julia says "At this point Iñigo and I are good friends, that's a start. It's a great place to be in. It's crazy when I met him, we became friends even back when we started and this is something that we both wanted to do, we said we would work together and we did."

"The book actually is based on real life, some parts of it is actually my story. I used to sell books myself until I got a publisher, that's where I started. I didn't think about who will be the stars but I'm happy we got the perfect cast." says Marcelo Santos who wrote the book.

The movie Para Sa Hopeless Romantic is  showing on May 13 and is produced by Star Cinema and Viva Films.

Julia Barretto on her 18th Birthday: Just Julia

These are the times when you feel you're blessed, that no matter where your fate takes you, you just need to become humble and say "Thank you!".

Debuts in the Philippines mark the coming of an age, where a teen grabs life from the end of its trail and declare she's now a lady. She went the long way from fixing her realtionships, to working hard and now, she's celebrating it with friends, family, the people she loves no matter what consangnuity.

Also, she said her goal this year is to keep the people in her life in good terms and she hopes her birthday could spark talks with her Titas, her Mom and Dad. She also divulges that her first dance would be Dennis Padilla and her last would be teen hearthrob Iñigo Pascual.

Just Julia will happen this March 10, 2015 and will be shown on public TV this March 28th in the evening. We hope Julia gets her personal wish and perhaps make the stars align for her.

Iñigo, Sofia, Julian and Erica for "Relaks It's Just Pagibig"

We're here doing a live blog of the grand presscon of "Relaks It's Just Pagibig" starring Iñigo Pascual, Sofia Andres, Julian Estrada and Erica Villongco. Listening to them speak in a press conference this big is something new. They are not stragers though because Iñigo is the son of Piolo, Julian is from the Estrada clan, Erica is from the girl group "Krissy and Erica" and Sophia has been at this for quite some time now.

Love must be a big thing to discuss with them and since they just had a few relationships. This film also involves those feelings, first love, taking chances, the whole nine yards. 

Sophia says "I wasn't that comfortable with him at first but working with him made me discover a lot of things. It was awkward to have my first kissing scene on screen with Iñigo but I think it turned out good." When asked if she likes Iñigo to be his boyfriend, Sophia says "Yesssss!"

Iñigo says "After that kiss, she slapped me. So it wasn't that romantic at all." Then he laughed. When asked about how she wants Sophia to be his girlfriend, he says "We'll see if it happens! Being compared to my dad is hard but I'm making that as an inspiration so I'm working hard to prove myself to a lot of people. I hope they see that."

With the help of Spring Films and Star Cinema, they hope to see the success of this small film. They've been working hard promoting this film through mall shows and various TV appearances. "Relaks It's Just Pagibig" will show in November 12, 2014.
