Jake mas pinili ang career kesa kay Jessy

Although ’di inililihim ni Jake Cuenca na attrac­ted siya to Jessy Mendiola, his leading lady in Maria Mercedes, ang upcoming series ng ABS-CBN, adap­ted from a popular Mexican teleserye, wala raw siyang balak ligawan ito.

Obvious na seryoso si Jake sa desisyon niya to concentrate on his showbiz career this year. After all nga naman, when one looks at it, he has never had it so good.

After the movie, Lihis, which is part of the All Masters Edition ng Sineng Pambansa ng Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), he cannot be more happy having Maria Mercedes for his next assignment.

Lihis co-stars Jake with Joem Bascon and Lovi Poe. Si Joel Lamangan ang direktor.

The other  entries will be shown in SM Cinemas nationwide, simula ngayon, Sept. 11.

Mother Lily gagawa ng mga pelikulang OTJ ang dating

Watch for Mother Lily Monteverde make good of her promise to go active anew in producing films, yes, before the year ends. This time raw, plano niya to do relevant movies like On the Job (OTJ), that her son Dondon Monteverde co-produced for his Reality Entertainment with Star Cinema.

The film, as is common knowledge, didn’t do well the first few days it opened sa mga sinehan. But since raw napanood niya ang pelikula, during its premiere sa Robinsons Magnolia, alam niyang when the good reviews about OTJ starts coming out, moviegoers will be curious to watch it.

And what follows is the word of mouth, which is another form of good publicity, Mother Lily said.

True enough, when my pamangkin and two of my assistants watched On the Job sa sinehang Gateway three days ago, they had to suffer from stiff necks.

Ang kuwento kasi, they went to watch the movie and late na nang finally makakuha ng tiket dahil sa haba ng pila sa takilya.

When finally they entered the cinema showing the movie, it was full-packed. At heto and siste, they were assigned seats sa first row, malapit sa screen.

Pero dahil nasa loob na sila at nagagandahan sila sa kanilang pinanonood, hayun at tiniis na lang nila ang sakit sa leeg na kanilang nararamdaman.

Going back to Mother Lily, after Let’s Take a Chance, which is now on the works kumbaga, starring Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez, her next project will have Joey Javier Reyes for a director.

Let’s Take a Chance has Jun Lana at the helm.

Mga dating housemate sa PBB, Bigatin ang mga trabaho

Aliw kami na muling nakita na magkakasama sa Sunday program ni Vice Ganda, ang Gandang Gabi, Vice, ang mga dating teenager na sina Gerald Anderson, Matt Evans, Fred Payawan, at Mike Lee, pawang graduates ng Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) First Teen Edition.

Would you believe na seven years na ang nakalipas? Kaya natural lang na, thank God, may kani-kanilang na silang achievements o pinagkakaabalahan.

Among the four of them, only Gerald at Matt ang aktibo sa showbiz.

Bukod sa still currently showing On the Job, nasa top series din na Bukas na Lang Kita Mamahalin si Gerald.

Maganda rin ang role na ginampanan ni Matt, who claims he is now a father of a one-year-old baby, sa Muling Buksan ang Puso.

Fred is with the sales department ng ABS-CBN. He was 17, he revealed, when he joined the reality show.

Nag-aaral daw si Fred noon sa De La Salle University where he was enrolled in marketing.

Mike Lee was an honor student at the Ateneo de University. Kaya ang tukso raw sa kanya ng mga co-boarder niya sa Bahay ni Kuya ay siya si Ateneo Genius.

First runner-up daw siya to Kim Chiu who emerged champ in that particular episode ng PBB Teen Edition.

Now employed sa isang multi-national firm, Mike works in Singapore. He purposely came home raw para sa guesting sa show ni Vice Ganda.
