The Millionaires Wife: Cannes Best Actress Ms. Jacklyn Jose

I wouldn't want to pass the opportunity to interview Ms. Jacklyn Jose. Yes, the one and only Best Actress from Cannes is also a part of The Millionaires Wife. She plays the villain Stella Vergara Montecillo and she wreaked havoc on Louisa's life. Aside from the money, she's just aiming to see how miserable she can make Louisa as Alfred Vergara is already dead. She didn't mean to have her father killed but it was just the result of her brainwashing Jared Montecillo. Without him in the picture, she wouldn't be protected at all and perhaps Stella would make her life a living hell, she's that determined.

Here's our video interview in two parts. Enjoy!

I love the way she answered our questions, and how she was so enthusiastic to tell us about the process in molding her character. She mentions that there are tons of highlights in the show that is only going to happen today so you better catch the finale!

I was told by her co stars in this project that it is indeed an honor to have worked with Jacklyn Jose let alone the Cannes Best Actress. I was actually a little put off because she didn't want to put that out in the open but I think she's got her reasons. She didn't want the others to make that a big deal but says it is an opportunity to be proud of our country. I couldn't imagine how much stress and physical work they had to put in into each scene. She's more meticulous and doesn't even do it if she doesn't know where the character is coming from. This is much harder to shoot because they don't do it by following the story, they do it per scene so it kinda skips, pretty hard to remember. She does her homework and that's something that the other actors of this project actually learned from her. Maybe me too in the near future, I kid!

There will be someone dying, but I laughed so hard when she told us about the forest scenes (which was pretty much done in every teleserye). The Filipino audience actually sometimes wouldn't find the ending great if they didn't do that part. Playing a villain or the hero, it doesn't matter to her because both are fulfilling. She also mentions how much work they've put into this project and hopes people get to know how these all ends!

Thank you for the opportunity to talk to you Ms. Jacklyn Jose! Thank you also for being so candid while we were doing this interview. I hope to get to watch you do A1 Ko Sayo which is more of a comedy flick. I'm sure you'll continue to be loved with that too!

Thank you to the cast and crew of The Millionaires Wife who were all so accommodating during our set visit! Hope you all get to watch the show today as it ends Louisa's story.

The Millionaires Wife: Mike Tan

I could tell you the names of my friends who would probably faint at the sight of Mike Tan. He's one of GMA's most prized actors, and with good reason. He's got a sculpted physique, he's also donned countless drama projects under his belt and nobody I know questioned how good he is in that department. He plays the role of Ivan Meneses in this series and he doesn't hold back. He's done countless scenes in this show that has been talked about countless times because it's so sexy. Oh yes, there's bed scenes, but I like the one they did in the shower... it was so animalistic! The passion that goes into each scene is evident, you'll be shocked at what will happen when they see each other. I've seen some of the shots during our set visit, and I totally agree you'll love how this will end. 

Here's our interview with the good looking guy on video:

He finds Andrea Torres a lot different from his other leading ladies as she's more of the silent type. She often focuses on the job and gets it done as they do it. They never even talked before they had that iconic kissing scene and just did it so there wouldn't be awkwardness between them. In fact, Mike even felt it was Andrea who took care of him because it's not everyday that you get to do these things. He mentions how professional Andrea is and hope this isn't the last time they'd be able to work together. He wants to do more shows with GMA and I'm sure there will be more opportunities for this great actor.

Thank you Mike for taking time to sit and talk with us! Hope people would get to see the scenes you've done with Sid and Ms. Jacklyn Jose! I know they'll love that! Thank you too to GMA Social Media for hooking us up! Make sure you watch the last episode today on GMA Afternoon Prime!

The Millionaires Wife: Sid Lucero

 This is the first time I'm interviewing Sid Lucero. He's an award winning actor, very animated when you see him. He's not that tough guy you see on screen and you can feel how much he's engulfed so hard to put his passion into work, more so in The Millionaires Wife. He plays the character of Jared Montecillo, the son of Jacklyn Jose in the series. He's a little deranged to put it lightly, because when Stella puts her magic to this guy right here, he goes beyond it and kills his own Grandfather. He's been heavily influenced by his Mom hence the way his character ends up like that on the show. Yes, he rapes people!

Here's our interview on video:

Sid didn't really think much about getting a Best Actor award at the 19th Los Angeles Comedy Festival, but even wanted to use that to further his cause for the Philippine Movie and TV industry. He wanted his voice to be heard, with good purpose and I was impressed by that. His countless indie films, tons of shows, all of that felt like it didn't matter because he had a more endearing cause to support, I was so happy there are people like him in the industry. 

He also got lauded by Ms. Jacklyn Jose, equally impressed at how he works and says if there's one thing she would want to do is to work again with Sid Lucero. He was the one person that convinced Ms. Jacklyn Jose to accept this project in the first place. She's really got reason why, because Sid is brilliant. Underrated yes, but I hope he gets to be noticed and given more projects because of his caliber of acting.

Thank you for the opportunity to talk to you Sid and I hope people get to see the finale today!

The Millionaires Wife: James Blanco

I have known James Blanco for quite a while now. The first time I've seen him in person was during the Star Olympics in... well let's not mention the year LOL. He was one of the neophyte basketball jocks while I was doing referee work in Volleyball. It was awesome to also get to know him on a personal level on interviews like these, his birthdays, and a couple more events in GMA. The man now is part of The Millionaires Wife, a show that's about to end today. To pay homage to the show, I am making these posts for the individual artists so you wouldn't miss their characters that much. James plays Mark Crisostomo, the professor of Louisa, but soon to be the love interest of Ms. Ina Raymundo's character Allison Montecillo. Unfortunately his mother got sick, and he had to stay away.

Here's our interview with the James, he talks about how he worked with Andrea Torres. He also talks about how he feels since the show is ending today.

James is a very deep person. He's also very passionate about his craft. He does the job, does even more of what he's asked for. He's the shoulder to cry on, and will be one of the causes of the rift between Ms. Ina Raymundo's character and Andrea Torres.

Make sure you watch the finale today on GMA Network's Afternoon Prime. He promises this to be worth your while, and he thanks everyone who has been so nice, supporting the show during it's run. Thank you James for the opportunity to talk to you!

The Millionaires Wife: Ina Raymundo

She's been in the minds of men for years. Ina Raymundo was someone we started to fantasize about when she played the "Sabado Nights" vixen everybody loved. She's gone leaps and bounds from that young 90's commercial model era and has gone through life just like the rest of us. But just look at her, how can anyone be at this age and look like this? I already felt life was unfair and age was really just a number when we talked to Allison Montecillo, the lady she played in The Millionaires Wife. As the daughter of a rich man, she believes this woman (Luisa played by Andrea Torres) who suddenly came into their lives was just after their family's money. She couldn't do anything about it as she was also brainwashed by the character of Stella played by Ms. Jacklyn Jose, who later on she found out, was plotting a scheme to get it for herself; and may incidentally had Alice's father killed by Jared (Sid Lucero's character). The story's pretty much going to be discussed by her on this video, listen in!

Her Grandfather's death in the story was a coincidence but it further flamed her to believe the lies that Jacklyn Jose's character told her. It's pretty hard to even prove there was love between Luisa and her Grandfather and that, will ultimately be a spark to the conflict between them. Ina Raymundo was lauded by her peers (particularly Sid Lucero and Ms. Jacklyn Jose) even though at first she thought she had an evil bone on this character. Sid Lucero mentioned that if there was one thing that he'd wanted to do after this show, is to work with Ms. Ina more, even in other projects. He felt this stint in the show working with her was too short, and perhaps he'd get to do more when the time comes.

I like the part where Ms. Ina  also mentioned things about her Dad. I actually know Mr. Jun Raymundo because he's one of the original members of Bits and Pieces, a popular band in the 60's because my Uncle Reggie Bueno is part of that band too. I just kinda messed up explaining that to her during our small chat though LOL. Anyway, I'd like to be able to talk to her again sometime soon. 

 

The show is about to end and The Millionaires Wife will surely be missed. Don't forget to watch the last episode today too on GMA's Afternoon Prime!

The Millionaires Wife: Andrea Torres

The show is about to end this week and I was thinking of releasing this as an homage to the men and women who have been painstakingly doing their job to make a really interesting show in the Kapuso network. I really love how passionate I've seen these actors and actresses were and in the fulfillment of their work, I sat down with them to ask about how they feel now that the show's about to end. Lead star and vixen Andrea Torres shares her experience working with her co stars and what she'll be missing most about doing the show. 

Here's our video interview:

It's been a while since I've seen Andrea but it's a good thing she still remembers me. She's extremely dedicated to her craft, I've also heard her co actors tell us how much work she's put out just to make this show look good on screen - and I don't think I'll be ever surprised if she lands another project on primetime in the next few months. 

She deserves it and if luck finds it's way, she'll be an even brighter star as she is today. Thank you for the opportunity to talk to you Andrea and sorry for bugging you during your taping in Batangas. It was a pleasure interviewing you!
