Jericho Rosales headlines ‘biggest’ TV series to be aired in RP, Malaysia

- Ricky L. Calderon -

Pinoy heartthrob and award-winning actor Jericho Rosales is out to conquer the Asian television scene via the biggest and newest series to be shot in the Philippines and Malaysia next month, where he will be paired with popular Malaysian actress and model Carmen Soo. The series will be produced by Star Cinema and the Malaysian production group Double Vision.

After the phenomenal success of his soap opera “Pangako Sa ‘Yo” in other countries, Jericho is also set to make his mark in the Asian television history with his new and groundbreaking series to be shot in the Philippines and Malaysia.

Jericho and Carmen will begin taping on April 30 and will run for two months in both the Philippines and Malaysia.

Entering showbiz at the age of 17, Jericho had his first claim to fame after winning the talent search of the popular noontime show of Eat Bulaga called “Mr. Pogi.” His career was catapulted to even greater heights when he joined ABS-CBN’s Star Circle Batch 4 in 1997.

He got his first recognition when he won Best New TV Personality and Best Single Performance by an Actor for his “Maalaala Mo Kaya” episode in the PMPC Star Awards for Television.

Although he has scored numerous achievements in various fields, what is considered as his best and most successful project to date was the teleserye Pangako Sa’Yo of the Kapamilya network where he was paired with Kristine Hermosa. This launched his career to a wider reach. It was a big hit in other countries like Malaysia and Cambodia, making him an official Asian heartthrob.

With his remarkable success, Echo is even more determined to get the attention of even more Asian audien now that he’s doing this new series with Carmen Soo, which be shown in the Kapamilya channel before the end of the year.

With her angelic smile, flawless complexion and gorgeous face, Carmen Soo is definitely one of the most sought-after model-actress today after doing several TV shows, films and stage productions as well TV commercials all over Asia.

Beginning her career at an early age of 17, Carmen’s rise to fame started when she won the talent search organized by local magazine “Verve.” It instantly launched her career as model and immediately landed her first TV commercial.

Her career as an actress started after she did a cameo role in the Jackie Chan movie titled “Gorgeous.” She also appeared in the music video of Aaron Kwok, a famous singer.

She has shown her versatility since then, portraying diverse roles on stage (like the musical “Rose, Rose I Love You”) and on screen where her movie “The Third Generation” garnered for her a Most Promising Actress Award at the 2006 Malaysian Film Festival.

Angel Locsin and Luis Manzano were sighted at the MBX Mall in Bangkok while shopping. Angel was apparently in a shopping spree with matching bags. She was seen holding hands with Luis, and even sharing kisses with him on the escalator. It was on Friday, March 21.

Another sighting – Angel and Luis were seen “HHWWPSSP” at Siam Discovery Bangkok last Holy Thursday last March 20.

What does HHWWPSSP mean? “Holding hands while walking pa-sway-sway pa” was the playful meaning of the acronym that was sent by our source.

When we got to talk to Luis at the presscon for PBB Teen Edition hosts, he said that he and Angel have an understanding. He wouldn’t want to term it as “mutual” understanding but he added that whatever it is that he and Angel have, they’d rather keep it to themselves for the time being.
