Enchong pinuputakte ng suwerte nang hiwalayan ni Julia

Now, finally getting the big breaks (yes, with an S) long due him is Enchong Dee. As we all know, of course, he is currently doing a film, still untitled, but directed by Box-Office Director Cathy Garcia-Molina where he plays a younger brother to Bea Alonzo, Toni Gonzaga, Shaina Magdayao, and Angel Locsin. The idea alone of having these four top leading ladies for his co-stars overwhelmed him na when he was offered the role, according to Enchong.

Now that they are finally starting work on the movie because they have to rush it for the May 28 playdate, the more na ina-appreciate niya ang experience or working with the four top talents.

Now, here comes another big news, ’di pa man natatapos ang kanyang top series na kasalukuyang ginagawa, Ina, Kapatid, Anak, co-starring him with Kim Chiu, Maja Salvador, Xian Lim, Alex Medina, and senior stars Janice de Belen, Cherry Pie Picache, Ronaldo Valdez, Eddie Gutierrez, Pilar Pilapil, at Eddie Gutierrez, he is being tapped to play leading man to Jessy Mendiola in the latter’s first title role series, a Tagalog adaptation of the Mexican telenovela Maria Mercedes.

“If this is not a series of luck coming my way, I don’t know what is,” punung-puno ng kasiyahang saad ni Enchong. “Really, God is kind. I love Him and I can not thank Him enough.”

Well, bulong sa amin ng isang malapit kay Enchong:

“Let’s hope this somehow compensates for the disappointment na kanyang naramdaman dahil kay Julia Montes.”

Well, do we still have to unearth ang story nina Enchong at Julia? Kailangan pa ba, Salve A.?

Sakit na nararamdamaN ni Editha Burgos ramdam na ramdam ni LT

Excited na si Lorna Tolentino to start work on her first indie film, Burgos, so much so, eager na siya to finish with her new series for GMA 7, Home Sweet Home, where luckily she will play a guest role lang.

Kaya she will only be in the series sa mga earlier scene. At e-exit na siya.

“Need niya kasi to have her long tresses na iklian, tulad ng gupit ni Editha Burgos,” say ni Lolit Solis, talent manager ni LT. “Familiar personality din kasi si Edith. Kaya alam ng mga nag-follow ng kanyang plight as a mother ang kanyang hitsura.”

In portraying Edith’s role, LT wants to look exactly like her. Hence, pumayag din siya na “ipitan” ang half of her hair ng puti.

“’Di yata nagpapa-hair color si Edith,” susog pa ni Lolit.

Isang basa pa lamang ni LT sa script ng Burgos, na-in love na kaagad ito sa karakter ng kanyang gagampanan. Seldom, after all, do an actress come across a role na real na real na, kasi based on a true story, napaka-endearing pa.

“Here is a mom who will do anything to seek justice for her son na ’di niya alam kung patay na o buhay pa, at kung patay na ito, anong klase ng kamatayan ang dinaanan niya?

“At kung buhay pa siya, nasaan siya ngayon? Kumusta na siya? Iniisip ko pa lamang how I would go about the role, nagkakaroon na ako ng goose pimples. Gusto ko nang umiyak.

“Hay, this is one movie where every mom would never want to experience what Edith went through. Yes, mapi-feel nila ang pain na dinanas ni Edith every time she thinks of her son, Jonas,” tukoy pa ni LT.

Directed by Joel Lamgangan, who immediately told LT that his first choice for the role was Nora Aunor, he is excited na simulan na agad ang pelikula.

Direk Joel has just wrapped works for The Bride and the Lover starring Jennylyn Mercado, Paulo Avelino, at Lovi Poe. Produced by Regal Entertainment, Inc. it will open May 1 in theaters nationwide.
