Piolo Pascual and Rosanna Roces in Manila

July 5, 2009 · Filed Under movies · Comment 

Please watch the film, Manila, by Directors Raya Martin and Adolfo Alix, Jr. The Film is part of the Official Selection, Festival de Cannes 2009; Official Selection, Moscow International Film Festival 2009; and the Opening Film in the Cinemalaya V.

Please do watch it.. You know, I’m really amazed with one of the Directors as I remember seeing him on campus back in the days (no, he doesn’t know me..). I remember when our batch (and probably the rest of the Masscom people in our school) got so excited when we heard that his student film, Ada, will be commercially produced. Melted my heart pendant jewelry, and our hearts. Hihihi.

Anyway, going back to the topic, Manila opens on July 22 in selected theaters — SM North Edsa, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, SM Manila, SM Fairview, Robinsons Ermita, Robinsons Galleria, Gateway, Trinoma, Glorietta 4, Sta. Lucia, SM Davao, SM Cebu, SM Pampanga, SM Taytay.

Released by Star Cinema, it stars no less than Piolo Pascual, Rosanna Roces, Jay Manalo, Baron Geisler, Alessandra de Rossi, Iza Calzado, Angelica Panganiban, Jiro Manio, William Martinez, Anita Linda, Marissa Delgado, Menggie Cobarrubias, John Lapus, Katherine Luna, Aleck Bovick, and Jon Avila.

Calayan versus Belo

February 25, 2009 · Filed Under celebrities · Comment 

… just when it’s almost over…

This time, it’s Dr. Manny Calayan versus Dra. Vicky Belo. Nothing serious really (I hope), but Dr. Manny finally lets his heart out on the issue that Dra. Belo said that if you wanna look like Boy Abunda, go to Calayan’s.

Dr. Manny, in rebuttal, said Dra. Vicky should have picked an endorser of his clinic who’s of the same age (or almost) as Dingdong Dantes and Piolo Pascual. He said Dra. Belo shouldve had picked Jon Avila and Jake Cuenca, also endorsers of Calayan.

Well, Dr. Manny’s right… Same age! Truth is, Boy Abunda looks good for his age… add that to the fact that he is one of the sensible people on tv.

Anyway, I hope this thing gets settled na. I think Dra. Belo has a lot of problems now, and this one would just add to her stress.

I could see light at the end of the tunnel… err, it’s light fixtures pala.. toinks.

No, seriously, I hope things get well between them.

The world needs love — and beauty.
