Our stories have always been inspired by true events and I think it’s most evident with this series. The reality is that love is not always easy, but what matters most is having faith in love no matter how tough things may get and this lesson is what I hope people will take home after watching.”

Have faith in love

Director Pepe Diokno narrates a battle fought for love with “Anniversary”. Jason’s pursuit of a successful career spells trouble for his long-term relationship with Claire.

Tanghalang Pilipino’s CORIOLANO Challenges the Definition of a Hero

4:36 AM by Runner RockyNo comments

This February, Tanghalang Pilipino, the resident theater company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, stages CORIOLANO, a Filipino translation of William Shakespeare’s tragic play Coriolanus, which re-examines the life of the complex, multi-faceted hero. Directed by renowned film director Carlos Siguion-Reyna and translated by accomplished playwright Guelan Luarca, Coriolano runs at the CCP Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (Little Theater) from February 22 until March 17, 2019.

Coriolano is a complex hero and this play is believed to be one of the last two tragedies written by William Shakespeare. Literature from across generations provides a clear definition of a hero; that of someone who is revered for courage, exceptional achievements, and noble traits. William Shakespeare breaks this mold by introducing paradoxical characters that challenge that very definition, as evidenced in Coriolano.

Admired for his valor and military supremacy, but disdained for his resentment of the people that he actually serves, Coriolano provides one of the best examples of Shakespeare’s multi-faceted and complex heroes. Coriolano starts out gaining respect and admiration from the people because of his bravery and ability to lead Rome in victory; however, his arrogance has led him to be banished. Coriolano now becomes a tragic hero; someone whose bravery and uncanny strength is overshadowed by pride, causing him his ultimate downfall.

Playing the titular role is Marco Viana, together with Bryan Sy (Aufidio), Ms. Sherry Lara and Ms. Frances Makil-Ignacio (alternating as Volumnia), Jonathan Tadioan (Menenio), JV Ibesate (Sicinio), and Rhodora Dayao (Bruto), and the Tanghalang Pilipino Actors Company. Aside from Siguion-Reyna and Luarca, the other members of the artistic team are: Ohm David (Set), Bonsai Cielo (Costumes), TJ Ramos (Sounds), Dennis Marasigan (Lights) Bryan Sy and Remus Villanueva (Choreography).

Coriolano runs at the CCP Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (Little Theater) from February 22 until March 17, 2019, Fridays (8PM), Saturdays (3PM & 8PM), and Sundays (3PM). Tickets can be purchased at Ticketworld, or you may call Tanghalang Pilipino at (02) 832-1125, local 1621. You may also visit the Tanghalang Pilipino Facebook page for more details. 02/07/2019 (TV Series Craze)

GMA Telebabad's Newest "TODA One I Love" Enters the World of Love and Politics

7:00 AM by Runner RockyNo comments

Fans of the well-loved Kapuso onscreen pair Kylie Padilla and Ruru Madrid need not wait any longer as the KyRu love team banners GMA News and Public Affairs’ election offering and latest political romantic comedy series TODA One I Love which makes its world premiere this February 4 on GMA Telebabad.

Like the jeepney, the tricycle is a popular means of transportation in the Philippines that reflects the culture and identity of Filipinos. Aside from playing a major part in the daily commute of many Pinoys, the tricycle is also used as a vehicle to promote various products and even political candidates.

TODA One I Love will revolve around the family, dreams, and loves of three lead characters—Gelay, Emong, and Kobe. They will find themselves tangled in the topsy-turvy politics of the Tricycle Operators and Drivers’ Association or TODA, as well as the local mayoral elections.

TODA One I Love gives viewers a glimpse of Philippine local politics—all presented with a sprinkle of comedy and romance. At the center of this latest Kapuso Telebabad offering is the strong-willed, independent young woman Angela “Gelay” Dimagiba, portrayed by versatile actress Kylie Padilla.

An engineering student, Gelay is the daughter of a tricycle driver Mang Tolits and Aling Lea. Family is everything for Gelay; she is willing to sacrifice her own happiness for them. She has a childhood friend Emong, whom she has been crushing on since they were young. But Emong only sees her as a younger sister.

Playing Raymond “Emong” Magsino is Kapuso heartthrob Ruru Madrid. He is the son of Aling Jane and Mang Jessie, the incumbent TODA president. A hard-working lad, Emong is determined to better his life. With his TESDA course under his belt, he goes abroad to work as a mechanic. This temporarily cuts his friendship with Gelay. But when his employer closes shop, Emong has no choice but to go back to the Philippines. Upon his return, Emong discovers that Gelay is still the tough girl he knows—only she has transformed into a beautiful lady. Emong now finds himself head over heels with his childhood friend.

But Emong faces competition when it comes to winning Gelay’s heart: the handsome and prince charming material Kobe Generoso to be portrayed by Chinito heartthrob David Licauco. Even though Kobe is the son of the incumbent Mayor Migs and ex-mayor Mayora Dyna, he still wants to make a name for himself.

But before Gelay decides between her two admirers, her life makes a 180-turn when the TODA Elections spell trouble for her and her family.

Joining Kylie, David, and Ruru in this political rom-com series are Gladys Reyes, Victor Neri, Jackie Rice, Kim Domingo, Tina Paner, Maureen Larrazabal, and Raymond Bagatsing with the special participation of Allen Dizon.

Viewers should also look forward to the characters of Cai Cortez, Buboy Villar, Archie Alemania, Kimpoy Feliciano, Ayeesha Cervantes, and Bruce Roeland.

TODA One I Love is written by Volta delos Santos, Robert Raz, Mario Banzon, Lei Chavez, and Aya Anunciacion.

At the helm of this series are directors Jeffrey Hidalgo and Nick Olanka.

Catch the world premiere of TODA One I Love on February 4 on GMA Telebabad.

Kapuso viewers abroad can also catch TODA One I Love on GMA Pinoy TV. For the program guide, visit www.gmapinoytv.com. 02/01/2019 (TV Series Craze)

Here is the teaser video of Diaz for the season 2 of "Los Bastardos" introducing her character:

Diaz who is playing the role of Consuelo Cuevas, the mother of Lorenzo (Joseph Marco) was saved by Don Cuevas from a tragedy. Suffered from amnesia, it was believed that her husband Don Roman tried to kill her. Therefore Don Cuevas brought her to California to save her.

Will Gloria Diaz' character a protagonist or a new villain in the story? How will she remember her past? And, how she and Don Roman's path will cross once more?!

Kaya maraming salamat talaga, para sa kanila ito,” he said.

On the other hand, Tekla looks at comedy as a serious thing so he promises to exert more effort in putting a smile on people’s faces.

“Yung nararamdaman ko is tuwa and at the same time, challenging din ito para sa amin ni Boobay kasi mabigat na responsibilidad ang comedy. Kung sa iba siguro pagpapatawa lang yun, pero para sa amin, seryosong bagay ito. Pero mas nangingibabaw yung feeling na lumevel up na kami kasi dati sa online lang kami nakikita, ngayon sa national television na.

Angel Locsin Returns as Rhian Bonifacio in “The General’s Daughter,” The Series Also Airs Worldwide via TFC

6:38 AM by Runner RockyNo comments

ABS-CBN opens the year with the much-awaited union of generations of grand slam actors in the upcoming series “The General’s Daughter”, which is seen in most countries outside the Philippines via The Filipino Channel (TFC), with its pilot episode streaming via TFC Online (www.TFC.tv) on January 21.

The Kapamilya network’s first offering for 2019 features the return to doing TV series of Angel Locsin, who will play Rhian Bonifacio, the daughter of the respected military general who yearns for the love of her parents. She constantly proves herself to them to get the affection she deserves.

Locsin considers her role in the series one of the hardest she has done in a TV series. “I have done several roles, and I must say this is one of the most complex characters I’ve played. It is hard. But it is also fun because I get to act with great actors, so I draw from them the proper emotions,” said explained.

She also added, “I think this is the right time to return to doing teleseryes (TV series). I think everyone I dream of working with is here. I am surrounded by my idols and the people I respect in the industry.”

Veteran actor Tirso Cruz III will also amp up the action as Gen. Santiago Guerrero, Rhian’s father who hones her to become their biggest weapon against their mortal enemy. Also part of the cast is Janice De Belen as Amelia, Santiago’s wife, who carries a deep grudge because of the death of their son.

Albert Martinez, on the other hand, plays Gen. Marcial De Leon, Santiago’s rival, whom the latter blames for his eldest child’s death. Multi-awarded actress Eula Valdez is also part of the show as Corazon, the loving wife of Marcial.

Growing up, Rhian was led to believe that her biggest enemy is the De Leons. To please her parents, she enters the military as a spy and eventually infiltrates Marcial’s personal life. As she gets closer to Marcial and his family, Rhian also inches her way towards the truth that will redefine her life --- her true father is Marcial, and Santiago only made her a pawn to kill his arch nemesis.

Aside from the lies she must put up with, love will also be one of Rhian’s enemies as Franco (Paulo Avelino) and Ethan (JC De Vera) both fight for her affection. Rhian will also meet her biggest rival Jessie (Ryza Cenon), the ex-girlfriend of Ethan, who will compete with Rhian to bring back her former lover to her arms.

Meanwhile, the highly-anticipated series also marks the return to television of the Philippines’ Diamond Star Maricel Soriano in her role as Isabelle, the woman who will give refuge to Rhian after she gets shot in a mission. With Isabelle’s help, Rhian will discover the truth about her identity and find the love she has been fighting for.

Kapamilya star Arjo Atayde, on the other hand, will once again prove his acting prowess as he plays Elai, a special child who will show Rhian that a person’s true character is found in a person’s heart.

Also bringing love to the series are Ronnie Alonte as Ivan and Loisa Andalio as Claire -- two lovers who will let love reign despite the chaos around them.

“The General’s Daughter” also stars Art Acuna, Anne Feo, Cholo Barretto, Kim Molina, Kate Alejandrino, Luz Valdez, and Nico Antonio. It is under the direction of Manny Palo and Mervyn Brondial.

Watch out for the highly-anticipated series “The General’s Daughter” seen in most countries outside the Philippines via TFC. The show’s pilot episode will be streaming via TFC’s different platforms simulcast its local airing on January 21, at 8:30 p.m. (Manila Time), in all territories except for the U.S. where the simulcast streaming will be in East coast only.
