Pretty Secret and Jillian Ward Launch Mermaid Collection

To say we can't get enough of JILLIAN WARD is going to be an understatement today as we get to be with her during her Meet and Greet event at Watsons The Block at SM North Edsa yesterday. It's for the launch of their collaboration with makeup brand Pretty Secret that's been taking the metro by storm, plus we did get to enjoy a movie of The Little Mermaid too afterwards, check out this video I prepared about the highlights of the event:

The theme for the occasion was Mermaids, and during the meet and greet, Jillian and the brand's fans used the make up and dressed up clad in the same colorway, it was really fun to see! Jillian was also asked much about her makeup process, she likes them colorful and bright hence the "Hello Sea! Mermaid" collection. There were also several things in the line that you'll really appreciate.

First is Jillian's favorite the Mermaid Eyeshadow Palette. It's got coral, turquoise, pink and mermaid shades on it which you can mix up for daily wear or special occasions. I like the Mermaid Eyelash Curler, with its specially designed mermaid tail as handles, you just know they took time designing it. There's also the Groom and Go Tinted Eyebrow Mascara with Free Spoolie that can get you a smooth, non sticky finish that also lasts long. Imagine the things you can do with it from office to date night. She also suggests the use of the Mermaid Powder Pact Foundation which can control oil, cover your blemishes and has got UV protection. These are just some of the things you can use for those who want to be #MadeToBeMermaid.

Make sure you visit WATSONS stores and SM Beauty sections as it will all be sold exclusively on these stores nationwide. Just go and ask for Pretty Secret, the pigment is bright you'll love it especially on those special days!

Congratulations Jillian! Hope there will be more products from Pretty Secret that you can showcase very soon!

JILLIAN WARD is your DreamGirl

Seeing Jillian Ward again after her very posh debut (a few months ago) I can say, it was about time! Her show even then was already successful, but evidently, it has become something BIG these days, every home knows who Dr. Analyn is from "Abot Kamay Na Pangarap". The series has also transcended every age, as seen on social media, people have been rooting for the genius doctor. They are continuing to do so, and today, part of the reason to be happy is her being the celebrity endorser for DreamGirl. 

Currently they have one product out in the market, particularly the DreamSkin by DreamGirl GluKoGen Soap. What it promotes is giving you that toned healthy glow. With regular use, it could give you brighter, younger looking skin. Aside form that, they have DreamGlow by DreamGirl Hand and Body Lotion with SPF50 PA+++. It's a non greasy lotion that can also give you protection from harmful UV rays to prevent it from darkening. It'll be out soon so if you want to know more about it, be sure to follow their social channel here.

Jillian says "I personally have used the products first before endorsing it. Taking good care of your skin has been something that I just do, because it's the base of everything, before you even put makeup. Playing the role of Dr. Analyn in "Abot Kamay na Pangarap" was a bit difficult because you won't be able to use heavy make-up almost all the time. You would depend on your skin, and make sure it's clear, without blemishes can still make you look good on camera."

Here's part of our interview with her that morning.

 

Again, if you would like to know more about the brand, follow their social channels and see more of Jillian Ward there!

JILLIAN WARD Celebrates 18th Birthday

Did you ever imagine that Jillian Ward would become like this? The Kapuso star, vlogger, actress just turned 18 this February 23 and we participated in her debut last February 25 at the COVE in Okada Manila. Jillian's family, celebrity friends, and people who have been part of Jillian's showbiz journey were invited, almost 700 people, as she wished for them to have a good time during this event. This is her way of thanking everyone, in a not so formal uptight way, and certainly, we were all just at awe at how Jillian is blossoming into the fine woman she is now.

Do you remember Trudis Liit? Her child star days must have stuck into people's minds, but recently she did really good reprising the role of Analyn in hit show "Abot Kamay Na Pangarap". Her fellow cast members were all in attendance and some became part of the program too. Here's a few of the scenes that happened during Jillian's 18th Birthday Celebration!

Thank you so much to Sparkle, to Jillian's Mom, her Dad and Jillian for having us on her special day! We really had so much fun! Congratulations on your upcoming shows, and perhaps appearances in noontime shows because she really did good in singing and dancing during this event. She rightfully deserves to showcase that to an even newer audience! 

Sanya Lopez was there!

Yen and Chuckie Dreyfus

GMA's Senior handlers and News personalities, all personal friends of Jillian

18 Shots, showbiz and non showbiz friends of Jillian gave her a toast!

Jillian also took time to thank everyone who came to the occasion.

Happy birthday Jillian! Hope this is the start of something big for you!

Kapuso Star JILLIAN WARD Expecting Over 700 Guests on Debut

 

This morning was certainly super fun as we got to talk to Kapuso star Jillian Ward. She's been in the industry since she was 5, and has worked in several shows like Trudis Liit, Super Ma'am, My Special Tatay, Prima Donnas, and recently Abot-Kamay na Pangarap. She's not much of a child actress anymore and is turning 18 now, so preparations for her birthday celebration has been keeping her busy even after work. Even with no sleep, she innocently posted a photo on Instagram and it went viral for the good reason that she still looks absolutely gorgeous in it. Today on the blog conference, she detailed some of her debut's preparations and here's how our small talk with her went!

For starters, she's expecting over 700 people to attend the event. She tells us, a lot of these individuals are people who have worked with her in previous shows and it's why she's electing a more celebratory theme rather than something formal. She wants a party where she could just have fun with her loved ones, much of which has been instrumental with her successful career in GMA.

Jillian mentioned Alden Richards, several veteran actors, leading men from GMA's stable. She also wants Ms. Marian Rivera and her family to come but they might have plans prior to the event, she says they might arrange something with Dingdong Dantes before the day comes. She looks up to Marian and thinks so highly of her. 

Jillian will also be with several GMA actresses, her friends who have also been with her in different shows so this will certainly be a huge gathering of stars. Mak Tumang will also be designing her ball gown, and a few will also be made in different parts of the event where she'll be performing. There will also be different stars performing in the event, and one of the reasons why she's busy these days is because they are already preparing, doing rehearsals for the big day!

Jillian Ward is certainly not a kid anymore. She wishes that everyone who she loves, and loves her would all be there. Happy birthday dear!

GMA's "Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko" (My Grandma Is Better Than You)

I've always had high regards to story lines that include grandmas. As someone who had experienced the love of my grandma, I always reminisce how she would always make time telling stories about history, the war torn years in the Philippines and what they did to survive. When I was a kid, she told me a bunch of stories that included mythical creatures, fables, commonly seen in English literature which made my interest flourish during those days and kept me love the language even more. I haven't really touched Philippine folklore (or fantasy) or anything like it aside from the ones I've learned in school, so this new program from GMA would definitely change the way Filipino kids, and not so kids alike to know more about it today.

Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko stars the grand dame of Philippine Cinema Ms. Gloria Romero (who plays Lola Goreng), childstars Jillian Ward (who plays Alice), David Remo (who plays Elvis), Chlaui Malayao (who plays Moira) and Julius Miguel (who plays Jorell). They'll be part of the cast who will tell the story and of course, tell you about the lessons you can learn with every episode. This will be part of GMA Sunday Grande Sa Gabe (at night).

Ms. Gloria Romero says "I'm glad to have been gotten to play this role, who would have thought that at this age I'd play a fairy right? This is very light, very cute and I'm really enjoying it! The kids that I'm with in this project are super good so I do have to come prepared to the set because they already know their lines."

Jillian Ward adds "I really love how Ms. Gloria shares her stories and you can really pickup a lot of lessons when she takes time to talk to us in between takes. You would eagerly want to do good in your work after having conversations with her."

This pilot week, they will have Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera guesting on their show. It starts this Sunday on GMA's evening primetime block. Get the updates about this show on Facebook.com/GMANetwork and www.gmanetwork.com today!

Jillian Ward's 10th Birthday!

It's a lovely afternoon and we went to Star City today to celebrate Kapuso Network's prime child star Jillian Ward. This event was organized by GMA Artist Center and thanks to her sponsors, they'll be treating her guests to the happiest place in Manila. 

She's also invited kids from Onesimo Bulilit, a community organization catered to uplifting lives of young ones in Quiapo, Manila. Some kids are part of the center and live there while others are community based so they go home to their families after activities during the day.

As always, sponsors have given these kids food and snacks during Jillian's birthday celebration. Star City also gave them gift passes so they can ride all day in Manila's premier theme park. She also wanted to thank Magnolia, New Zealand Ice Cream (really good imported ice cream), Pandelton (who makes really nice cupcakes!), Pastrybin and Fernandos Bakeshop. 

Jillian by the way will be starting to make their new series together with Dingdong Dantes called "Parekoi" and it will be shown around late March. She wants you to watch out for her new show and still patronize all the products she's endorsing, they helped her event happen and this is a bit memorable for her. 

Happy birthday Jillian! You're almost a tween now!

Jillian Ward's Birthday Celebration!

A girl that has been able to capture an audience unprecedented in GMA and continues to be blessed with projects here and there is child star Jillian Ward.

She's adorable, cute and super talented which made us not surprised why she's getting the breaks she deserves. Aside from that, this celebration just became VERY special as she and GMA Artist Center chose to include children from Virlani Foundation for Street Kids and a couple more from the streets of Manila. FUN RANCH in Ortigas became the venue where these kids had the activities like Cupcake Decorating Contests and the experience to RIDE ALL THEY CAN at Fun Ranch with Jillian herself.

Best of all, Jillian made sure the kids were happy by giving them gifts from her sponsors. Imagine that, the birthday celebrant was the one giving gifts... A noble gesture from the cute kid.

It was also the first time that I've seen her sing. She's really got a good voice, she must have trained a lot to be that good.

The kids also had some games played with her. It was fun at the red barn that day and I'm not surprised that she celebrated it this way. Jillian is a good kid and she's destined to have a good career ahead of her! Happy birthday Jillian!

Thank you also to your sponsors Fun Ranch Ortigas, Sweet Kiss for the cupcakes, Barbie who got her equally cute dresess, Elle, Waffle Time, Zagu, Minute Burger, Leon Phelipe (who's got good goat's milk and tdf pastillas!), Fernando's bakeshop and GMA Artist Center who made the lives of thes kids a tad better during Jillian's birthday! You guys are awesome!

"The Mommy Returns!" Showing on May 9th, 2012!

Different artists from different networks need not to worry Filipinos anywhere in the world. Why? There's always one film outfit willing to get these artists into one huge project. Think about the names Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez, Mr. Gabby Concepcion, Pokwang, John Lapus (whom I found so hilarious in Moron 5 and the Crying Lady), Gloria Diaz, Kiray Celis, Gerald Pesigan and GMA's premier child star Jillian Ward together in one movie and I'm sure you'll give this a shot. These guys have been able to get hits off their individual projects and with them together in this Regal Films concoction it'll be one heck of a Mother's Day Presentation and a horror-comedy film!

It's not an ordinary slapstick flick where they would need to hurt each other before someone would laugh in their seats; but heavily invests on situational funny moments in this family oriented comedy. This isn't my first time seeing Pokwang in roles like these because she has starred in quite a number of films I've covered. She's the matriarch who dies and was sent to purgatory. They have some funny terms used for that place and John Lapuz' character. After Pokwang dies in the film, beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez suddenly gets to capture gorgeous man Gabby Concepcion. His situation entails her dealing with the three kids Pokwang left plus the ghost she portrays in the film.

It was my first time seeing Ms. Ruffa Guttierez and she was really gorgeous! She cried a bit when asked questions about her Mom and the brouhaha that happened a few weeks ago. Ms. Gloria Diaz was also there together with Gabby Concepcion and John Lapuz. They recollect how much talk they had to do about love and relationships while doing this film. Some of them have failed marriages but everyone seems to want a lifetime partner. They also had so much fun doing this movie together with the kids. Photos from the presscon here!

.



This mother's day offering from Regal Films, Ms. Roselle Monteverde and Mother Lily is directed by the one and only Joel Lamangan. If you've got some time on May 9th, 2012 or the weeks thereafter, check out this film so you could laugh, cry and fall in love all over again with "THE MOMMY RETURNS!."
