Jasmine Curtis Topbills My Fair Lady on TV5!

TV5's premier actress Jasmine Curtis was just a little shocked last week when Brian Poe Llamanzares suddenly appeared after the press conference of her latest show - the remake of Korea's My Fair Lady. Apparently, Brian had the hugest crush on Jasmine after seeing her on a billboard in Katipunan Avenue back when he was still studying in Ateneo De Manila University. Jasmine was actually also studying there but they didn't get the chance to meet as she was a few batches ahead of him. The cute son of Presidential hopeful Grace Poe said it was his chance to get to know the girl of his dreams and he didn't hesitate doing it uttering "It's now or never!" complete with a bouquet of about 2 dozen roses. He's an accomplished professional host, worked for several NGO's and his Mom's office. He's also ADMU's Mr. School of Management in 2010, putting a stamp on his good looks. He's hoping to get to know Jasmine's family first and of course, court her in the process. He hopes this starts something really good. 

Here's what transpired during the presscon, watch it on HD:

In this show, Jasmine will be having 2 leading men in the persona of GMA 7's Luis Allandy and TV5's hunky actor Vin Abrenica. Vin mentions his small sulking has completely disappeared and says he's very glad about this great break. He also dispels rumors of conflicts with TV5's current golden boy Mark Neumann as he's treated like a brother says Vin. Vin will be working hard so TV5 won't be sorry they gave him this project, it might be challenging but he's going to do his job and promises not to disappoint them. Luis was loaned from GMA and says he's here to do the project and as Madame Wilma Galvante mentioned, they won't hesitate getting other actors from different stations if they'll make the program better. They need artists to fit the role and Luis is an example of that. 

This is also the comeback of Marjorie Barretto on TV and says she's both excited and nervous because it's been a while since she's been here. She had a short moment during the event where she vented her disappointment about what is being said with the media and what her ex husband is doing in real life (says it's completely different stories). In fact, she really took time explaining that without going into details because they've both been given a gag order already - of which she's a little heated why the other party is trying to make efforts, trying to look good publicly.

My Fair Lady also stars the lovely Chanel Morales, Yayo Aguila, Joross Gamboa, Jenny Miller, Katrina Legaspi, DJ Durano and the one and only Eddie Gutierrez. My Fair Lady will show on September 14, that's this Monday on the happiest network in the country, TV5!

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.

Bench x Ronnie Salvacion - 25 Things I Learned From My Bench Shoots - An Art Installation

Ronnie Salvacion has been working for Bench for years. One day, he gave Mr. Ben Chan a simple gift... it was a collage of photos from the past Bench photo shoots that he did which included some of the local and international stars that have been with Bench for the past 25 years. 

It was so touching that Mr. Ben Chan made it into a book, and got it printed as is. Aside from that, a whole exhibit cum art installation was also done at the Basement of the new posh Bench Tower. I've been so blessed to have been invited during the Lee Min Ho presscon, and this event came after that. Simply, it was nostalgic looking at these photos.. let alone the celebrities that were there too to witness the occasion.

You might know some of them =)

Mr. Ben Chan saw in Ronnie Salvacion something that nobody did, it was the artist in him. Congratulations on this great show! Now, here's a glimpse of the whole exhibit in a few minutes. Enjoy!

Julia Barretto Stars In This Week's Maalaala Mo Kaya!

She arrived in the conference room of Star Cinema exuding with confidence and a very optimistic demeanor. I watched her being launched in StarMagic batch 2013 together with other promising teens; and seen how much the public has adored her. She belongs to a line of actresses who has graced Philippine cinema which we know had that distinct Barretto look. Gorgeous as her Mom, Aunts, sisters and cousins, she is definitely Bestined for stardom. She is taking it bit by bit and I think she is going to get it really BIG. 

She answered all our questions without spilling some of the things to be shown in this week's episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya. She knows she has a lot to prove just to be considered as part of MMK because she has watched a lot of episodes from this program. From award winning actors and actresses, she knows how important this is to at least be in the likes of them so she did the legwork. She has done so many workshops and she hopes to bring this all on the table when you see the episode on Saturday. 

She doesn't mind to be paired with anyone in TV or in Film but she wishes to work with John Lloyd Cruz. She also admitted that among the young stars, Julian Estrada is really the closest. She knows she might be getting suitors pretty soon but she has her priorities. She wants to work hard for her craft and still finish her studies and she's glad that she is doing so fine at St. Paul. When she gets to see bad remarks on her performance this week, she said she'll take it like a grain of salt. She'll accept those which are going to help her be better at her craft and weed out those that are just plain bashing. It's normal she says but she'll do her best in any program that ABS CBN trusts her to do.

Mom Marjorie didn't actually have anything to say when she got this role. She just told her to pray about it and that's exactly what she did. All these blessings don't come to just anyone and she hopes this is the start of all the nice things that are planned for her. I laud her for being so humble, so smart, so pretty and so beautiful in a nutshell. She hopes all her fans and those that watch MMK this week be as hopeful and learn FORGIVENESS and giving SECOND CHANCES in this episode entitled "INIWAN".
