Wala munang balak si Piolo Pascual na sumabak kaagad sa trabaho, after mag-off the air in three weeks time ang kanyang ongoing series, Hawak Kamay.
Magpapahinga raw muna siya, probably until Christmas, bago niya simulan ang mag-shooting for his next movie assignment for Star Cinema, a yet untitled flick which will co-star him for the first time with Sarah Geronimo.
This movie will sort of become a follow-up to his co-starrer with Toni Gonzaga, Starting Over Again, na kinukunsidera to date as a phenomenal box-office hit of all time.
It will also be Sarah’s first assignment pagkatapos ng May Be This Time with Coco Martin and It Takes a Man and a Woman, co-starring Sarah with John Lloyd Cruz, and had hit the reported P200M mark during its just eighth day run.
Walang binabanggit si Piolo kung saan siya magpapahinga. Although, we know, na simultaneous with his last few days taping for Hawak-Kamay, Piolo will be busy too, helping sa promotion ng Relaks, It’s Just Pag-ibig.
Not only because his Kaleidoscope Productions is producing the movie, but it marks, too, his son Iñigo’s first foray sa showbiz.
Co-directed by Antoinette Jadaone at Irene Villamore, both protégés of movie at TV director, Joyce Bernal, Relaks… also stars Sofia Andres at Julian Estrada.
On the other hand, Piolo, in Hawak Kamay, had for co-stars Iza Calzado, JM de Guzman, Tirso Cruz III, Pinky Amador, at child stars Andrea Brillantes and Xyriel Manabat.
Featured naman si Nadine Samonte.
Richard magbabakasyon grande kasama ang pamilya
Richard Yap definitely, will take a short break too, from showbiz, pagkatapos ng shooting nila ng The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin 2. A Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry, co-starring him with Vice Ganda and Bimby Yap.
He will definitely join the Parade of Stars bago magbukas ang mga pelikulang kasali sa MMFF sa December 25.
Go rin daw siya sa Awards Night ng MMFF, which he heard will take place on December 27.
On November 28, according to Richard, definitely will take a bow na ang kanilang long-time and much-loved series ni Jodi Sta. Maria, ang Be Careful With My Heart.
Of course, he will miss doing the series daw, ani Richard. But as marketing expert, feel niya na right time na rin for Be Careful… to end. Mas mahirap na raw na kung kelan ito ‘di na nagri-rate, saka mag-i-end.
Before the year ends, balak ni Richard na i-treat ang kanyang pamilya, wife Melody and their two children, to a trip abroad.
May ideya na ba siya what his next project will be after Be Careful… at Praybeyt Benjamin, we asked Richard.
‘‘Wala,’’ sagot ni Richard, ‘‘Which is just as well, since gusto kong i-focus ang isipan ko sa bakasyon grande naming mag-anak.
‘‘Sabik akong makasama sila na walang iniisip, maliban sa kanila,’’ pahayag pa ni Richard.
Ogie susunod kaya kina Jolina at Marvin?
Is Ogie Alcasid, like Jolina Magdangal, Marvin Agustin at Maxene Magalona going back to the Kapamilya network.
Well, today, Sunday, magpi-perform live si Ogie sa noontime program ng ABS-CBN, ASAP 19.
Well, if you recall, Ogie had a game show, na nakalimutan na namin ang title, with Michael V. sa ABS-CBN.
They left the Kapamilya together and signed up with the Kapuso.
Ogie is, we know, currently under contract with TV5. Bagama’t nakagawa ng TV show si Michael V sa TV5, he maintained his two programs sa GMA-7, ang Bubble Gang at Pepito Manaloto, a sitcom, co-starring him with Manilyn Reyes.
