Angelica pahinga muna sa pagbibida, magiging kontrabida kina Kathniel

Did we hear it right that Angelica Pa­nga­niban will finally play the role of Claudia in the remake of Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa’s long-time and much-loved series noon na Pangako Sa Iyo.

The role of Claudia was formerly performed by Jean Garcia.

Hindi na tiyak kung sino ang gaganap na Amor Power, na ginampanan naman ni Eula Valdez, although, we heard that it is being offered to Jodi Sta. Maria.

Tapped naman to play the roles popularized  by Jericho and Kristine are teenage love team, Kathryn Bernardo at Daniel Padilla.

Edu at Marvin, parehong busy sa pagkalipat

Solid na ang pagiging Kapamilyang muli nina Edu Manzano at Marvin Agustin. Both of them will soon start their individual series for the Network.

Both, likewise, just have their individual contracts with TV5 completed.

Edu topbills The Bridges with Jericho Rosales, Maja Salvador, Carmina Villaroel, at Xian Lim.

Did we hear it right that replacement si Xian kay John Lloyd Cruz, who was first offered the role na kanyang ga­gampanan, but, for an unexplained reason daw, begged off?

John Lloyd’s current movie starrer, The Trial, with Richard Gomez, Jessy Mendiola at Gretchen Barretto, is still showing in theaters nationwide.

In Marvin’s case, if plan do not miscarry, he might reunite with former ka-love team, Jolina Magdangal, in the series, Flordeliza, with a new child star laying the title role.

Jolina, who for a time, like Marvin, turned Kapuso, when her contract with ABS-CBN expired, is now a parent like Marvin.

She is Mom to a baby boy, na kamukha raw ng asawa niyang si Mark Escueta na miyembro naman ng bandang Rivermaya.

Marvin’s twins, Sebastian and Santiago, are now nine years old and study at the Dela Salle University.

The twin’s Mom, Tetet Dy, is a pre-school ow­ner. She and Marvin are not married, although, they are solid friends, according to Marvin.

Marvin is in the cast, as well, of the soon-to-be released Viva Films movie, Moron 5.2, The Transformation, co-starring him with Luis Manzano, Billy Crawford, Matteo Guidicelli, and DJ Durano.

Directed by Wenn Deramas, featured is John Lapus, who played the ‘‘crying lady’’ sa unang Moron, Moron 5 and The Crying Lady.

Zanjoe may bagong anak na aalagaan

Another former Kapuso talent who turned Kapamilya, too, just recently is Maxene Magalona.

Maxene was first seen bilang isa sa mga judge sa isang kontes ng It’s Showtime, the daily musical program ng ABS-CBN.

Well, featured si Maxene sa upcoming series na Dream Dad, which will have Zanjoe Marudo playing the title role.

Hindi pa matiyak kung sino ang batang artista na gaganap bilang anak ni Zanjoe pero kasama sa cast si Gloria Diaz.

Dream Dad is not the first time that Zanjoe is playing Dad to a child star. Naging foster father din siya ni Andrea Brillantes, sa series na Annaliza.

Inaasahang maging ka-close rin ni Zanjoe ang batang gaganap na ‘‘anak’’ niya sa Dream Dad tulad ng naganap sa kanila ni Andrea during the period na ginagawa nila ang Annaliza.

By the way, heard that Maxene will play a kontrabida role in Dream Dad.
