Piolo hindi makapaniwala sa kinita ng pelikula nila ni Toni

Let’s expect Piolo Pascual, Salve A., to do more rom-com (for romance-comedy) movies, now na talaga namang overwhelming ang naging first day gross ng kanilang first team-up ni Toni Gonzaga, Starting Over Again.

On its opening day last Wednesday, Starting Over…, grossed a cool P25M, we heard. No wonder that the following day, Thursday, Star Cinema, which produced Starting Over… increased the number of theaters na nagpapalabas ng pelikula to 200.

For how long ito ipapalabas sa 200 sinehan, nakatawang sabi ni Piolo, in an interview with Boy Abunda at Kris Aquino sa bagong programa ng dalawa, Abunda-Aquino Tonight, daily on ABS-CBN, hanggang siguro pinipilahan pa.

Well, according to Piolo rin, it was his decision not to do rom-com muna and concentrate on out of the box office vehicle. Like nga naman On the Job (OTJ), which napansin ng international film reviewers when it was shown at the Cannes Filmfest last year. OTJ, directed by Erick Matti and produced by Star Cinema and Reality Entertainment, is now being exhibited in selected theaters abroad.

Piolo admitted na nanibago siya doing rom-com anew. So, much so, sa eksenang he was confronting Toni for deserting him for no reason at all, he had to make pakiusap to Direk Olive Lamasan to help him.

He and Direk Olive had worked together in the series, Sa Sandaling Kailangan Kita. Nagkasama rin sila sa pelikulang Milan, which also starred Iza Calzado and with whom he is reunited with, too, in Starting Over…

Of Toni, na first time niyang nakasama, he revealed sobra ang admiration niya rito for being professional. Lalo pa nga at maraming scandalous scenes sa pelikula na aware raw si Piolo na ngayon lang pumayag na gawin si Toni.

Saludo rin daw siya sa husay umarte ni Toni.

Kris marunong magpasalamat

It’s good to her that, at least, Kris Aquino has open, kumbaga, her heart to former husband, James Yap. Pinayagan nitong makasama ng anak ang ama ngayong araw na birthday ni James at kasama pa si Joshua.

At ang ginawa niyang stand for James na kahit kelan, bilang top cager, ‘di nito naging ugali ang magbenta ng laro.

Kaya, profused rin ang pasasalamat ni James.

Obvious na she realized din, siguro, ni Kris na importante sa isang anak ang kanyang ama, no matter what. Naranasan niya ang hindi maging close sa kanyang father na si Senator Benigno Aquino, compared to her elder siblings. Simply because nang kanyang kabataan, dahil Martial Law, nabilanggo ang kanyang ama.

Di rin naging matagal ang pagsasama nilang mag-ama sa Amerika, dahil umuwi nga ng Pilipinas si Senator Ninoy. Na naging sanhi ng kanyang kamatayan.

From how we look at it, James is a good father to Bimby. Sana nga, maging frequent na ang pagkikita ng mag-ama.

One thing we admire, too, about Kris is that she’ll never fail na pasalamatan ka kahit sa pinaka-simpleng pagbati through text na ginawa mo sa kanya.

Like when we text(ed) her happy birthday sa kanyang kaarawan kahapon (February 14).

Nakatanggap kami kaagad from her ng thank you.

Sana, pamarisan ng ibang artista si Kris, na hindi na nga kasing sikat niya ay kung bakit walang alam sa good manners and right conduct.
