Erik Santos and Christian Bautista Wow Vienna Audience

After their successful concert in other parts of Europe, Erik Santos, Christian Bautista and Pooh wowed audiences in Vienna on March 2 for their next stop in their European concert tour.

The concert hall at the UCI Kino, Millennium City was filled with Filipinos, Austrians and Indonesians who all wanted to witness 'Champions of the Heart' with ace comedian Pooh.

It was the first time that the 3 ABS-CBN talents performed live in Austria.

“We attribute the success of our ‘Champions of the Heart Concert’ in Austria and in other parts of Europe to all of our sponsors and to all of our kababayans here, who have given us a warm welcome and continue to support us in our endeavors,” Bautista told the audience.

Ericson Cruz Oliva, producer of the Vienna concert, told ABS-CBN News, “With this once in a lifetime concert of the high-caliber and famous Pinoy talents--Christian Bautista, Erik Santos and Pooh--I am very much overjoyed by the support and enthusiasm of our kababayans here in Vienna. The concert hall was fully jam-packed. Ibig sabihin, we have the full support of the Filipinos here. In return, we make sure that our events get bigger and better, bringing them even closer to home.”

Santos and Bautista captivated the hearts of the Filipinos and Austrians with their remarkable performance. Adding more spice and laughter to the event was the marvelous comedian Pooh, whose biting wit and spot-on punch lines really tickled the funny bones of the crowd. He brought endless laughter to the crowd.

“Watching The Filipino Channel (TFC) and being a subscriber, I have watched countless shows and news from this network on my free time. A friend from Vienna told me that there would be a concert with the popular celebrities of ABS-CBN talents in Vienna. The show was great. Christian, Erik and Pooh were excellent in their performance. I was extremely satisfied with their show and it was indeed a wonderful experience,” a TFC subscriber from Upper Austria, who travelled 5 hours to Vienna for the concert, told ABS-CBN News.

The Filipino Channel (TFC), one of the main sponsors of the European concert tour, is committed to go beyond boundaries to bring true Pinoy talent and entertainment to a wider global audience, connecting and nurturing relationships with and among Filipinos worldwide.

Aries Fortuna, TFC Area Sales Manager in Austria, contended, “Through grand events like these, we are able to reach out not just to our TFC subscribers but also to the many Filipinos who have chosen to live abroad and hopefully, even in our own small way, bring them closer to the Philippines once again.”

The Chemistry of Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson

Newest love team Gerald Anderson and Pop Star Princess Sarah Geronimo reacted to talks saying that they have good chemistry on-screen as seen in their film's teasers.

Anderson, Milby and Geronimo are starring together for the first time in Star Cinema's upcoming movie "Catch Me, I'm in Love."

During the photo shoot for the said movie, the two expressed happiness over the positive feedback.

"Talaga? Wow! Relieved kami. Kahit paano masaya na din kami na ganoon ang reaksyon ng mga tao," Geronimo said.

"Sa lahat ng pagod at pinaghirapan namin, I'm sure matutuwa ang mga tao. At ito ang first time naming magkasama ni Sarah at sa movie pa, so kami din excited," Anderson added.

Coming from successful team-ups with John Lloyd Cruz and Kim Chiu, Geronimo and Anderson admitted that it will be a big challenge for them to surpass the success of their previous movies with their former partners.

"Panibagong challenge. And it's good kasi galing ako kay Kim at siya, 'yung movie niya with John Lloyd. So bagong challenge," Anderson said.

Asked if Anderson already convinced the Pop Star Princess to do a kissing scene with him, the actor replied: "Let's see what happens."

Directed by Mae Cruz, "Catch Me, I'm in Love" will hit theaters on March 23.

Enchong Dee Admits Dating a Kapamilya Star

After months of keeping mum about his love life, Enchong Dee finally confirmed that he’s dating a fellow Kapamilya star. But he still refused to disclose the identity of the special girl in his life for fear that showbiz intrigues might ruin the happiness they have right now. “Nagflo-float [ang love life ko] pero uunahan ko na kayo kasi kung tatanungin niyo kung sino, hindi ko siyempre sasabihin, pero masaya ako ngayon. Taga-showbiz siya and Kapamilya siyempre. Siguro masayado ko nabuhos yung sarili ko sa trabaho na minsan kapag nababakante ka, parang ang lungkot mo naman na mag-isa ka lang ‘di ba? Ngayon ko lang na-realize na there’s always time for everything,” said Enchong who was officially launched as a new Jollibee endorser at the Great Float Fair in Trinoma Mall last March 3.

Although there were persistent rumors that he’s dating Kim Chiu, Enchong denied that she’s the one who’s keeping him inspired nowadays. “Malapit kaming magkaibigan ni Kim. Lumalabas kami minsan, pero as friends. Sabi ko nga napakaswerte ko naman talaga dahil bibihira na lang kami magkita ni Kim, bibihira na lang kaming lumabas, kapag nakikita pa, nai-issue pa, kahit grupo kami. So uunahan ko na wala talaga. We’re very good friends. Oo, dati may admiration [ako para sa kanya], kasi ‘di ba sabi ko nga, tanungin mo kahit sinong lalaki kung may gusto sila kay Kim, lahat yun sasabihin may admiration so I’m just one of them.”

Enchong further explained that he had to open up a bit about his love life to clear the names of all the girls who are romantically linked to him including Bianca Manalo and Erich Gonzales. “Wala, parati na lang siya (Bianca), kawawa naman. Kasi parang nadadawit si Kim, nadadawit si Erich, parang ang daming nadadawit. Para hindi sila maisama [kailangan kong sabihin na merong iba]. Para kumbaga may sariling buhay sila, ‘wag na natin silang guluhin. Huwag na ihalo yung kay Enchong. Sabi ko nga sa mga fans ko, hindi naman namin ever sinabi ni Erich na we’re together. We’re very good friends and we always support each other.”

The 21-year-old was aware though that it’s only a matter of time before the media gets hold of the identity of his special someone—which is why he’s also extra careful when they go to public places together. “Siguro naman [maipapakilala ko din siya sa inyo kasi] napakaliit nitong industriya para hindi mo maispotan kung sino kasama nung isa. Tsaka lumalabas-labas kami minsan, pero siyempre [masyadong bulgar] para mas tahimik at mas maprotektahan yung private life namin.”

As for the status of their relationship, Enchong said that they’re not yet an official couple although they’ve been getting to know each other since last year. “Ay hindi pa kami pero last year pa yung masasabi kong na-realize ko na gusto ko siya.”

Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin Premieres Monday

A rare kind of drama, romance and action will be shown on TV beginning March 7 when "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin" premieres on ABS-CBN's prime time block.

The new teleserye features a formidable cast: Coco Martin, Andi Eigenmann, Maja Salvador, Tonton Gutierrez, John Estrada, Ronaldo Valdez, Boots Anson-Roa, Amy Austria and Lorna Tolentino.

Coco Martin will tackle his biggest break to date in this series.

“Sundalo ako dito at tulisan. Dalawang magkaibang karakter po,” Martin shared, and added that this is his most challenging character ever.

“Sinusubukan po talaga ng mga karakter na gagampanan ko 'yung kakayahan ko. Magkaiba po kasi talaga 'yung personalidad nung dalawang characters,” he said.

Martin will have two beautiful leading ladies, Eigenmann and Salvador.

“Grabe 'yung role ko dito. Lahat ng training na pinagdaanan ng mga sundalong lalaki, ginawa ko rin. This is the toughest role I have ever portrayed,” Eigenmann said.

Salvador, meanwhile, revealed she enjoys her unique character in the series.

“NPA ako dito eh. Sa masukal na kagubatan kami nakatira. Ang saya. Kasi 'yung mga bagay na 'di ko pa nararanasan sa totoong buhay, at least may pagkakataon akong ma-experience sa pamamagitan ng seryeng ito,” she said.

Lorna Tolentino, on the other hand, said this could probably the hardest role she would ever portray.

"Hindi harder ang role ko. This is the hardest na ginawa ko sa career ko," she said.

The veteran actress will play the role of a mentally imbalanced wife of a military official.

In the series, Tolentino will face off with award-winning actress Amy Austria, who was persuaded by Tolentino to act again.

Austria has stopped acting for a while, considering herself "retired".

Tolentino and Austria have been close friends since they worked together in the film “Dulce Amor Ina” in the 1970s.

Other Kapamilya artists are also slated to appear in the series: Kim Chiu, Erich Gonzales, Xian Lim, Agot Isidro, Albert Martinez and Angel Aquino.

“Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin”, directed by Ruel Bayani, tackles two worlds, that of soldiers and that of bandits, and shows how these differences will link two opposite poles. The story delves on love, family and conviction to one's principles.

KC Concepcion Joins ASAP Rocks

Kabilang na rin sa ASAP Kapamilya ang Mega-daughter na si KC Concepcion starting today’s episode, March 6, 2011. Linggo-linggo nang makakasama ni KC ang kanyang nobyo na si Piolo Pascual sa weekly noontime musical variety show ng ABS-CBN.

Joy Cancio Clears Sex Bomb Dancers Guesting on Happy Yipee Yehey

Nilinaw ng SexBomb Girls manager na si Joy Cancio na guesting lang ang mangyayaring appearance ng sikat na all-girl dance group sa noontime show ng ABS-CBN, ang Happy, Yipee, Yehey!, bukas, March 5.

"Guesting lang po. Wala rin naman pong problema sa Eat Bulaga! dahil tinanggal na rin naman po sila roon," paglilinaw ni Joy.

Dagdag pa ni Joy, pagkatapos mag-pilot airing ng Happy, Yipee, Yehey! nung February 12, Sabado, pagdating ng February 14, Lunes, ay tinawagan na siya ni Television And Productions Exponents, Inc. (TAPE) Senior Vice President and Chief Operations Officer Malou Choa-Fagar at sinabihan siyang tatanggalin na ang SexBomb sa longest-running noontime show sa bansa.

Sa Eat Bulaga! nakilala ang SexBomb at naging bahagi sila ng programa ng higit sa isang dekada.

"Conflict of interest" ang ibinigay na dahilan daw sa kanya ni Ms. Malou.

"Di po ba, kasi pag sinabing conflict of interest, baka mamaya, maging... lumabas akong spy, di ba? Maikuwento ko sa Eat Bulaga! yung nangyayari sa Happy Yipee..., as well as dito rin. Parang gano'n ang intindi ko, e," pahayag ni Joy.

Nilinaw rin daw sa kanya ng TAPE lady boss na hindi sila magkaaway at purely business lang ang desisyong tanggalin ang kanyang dancers sa Eat Bulaga!.

"Na-explain naman pong mabuti ni Ma'am Malou yung magiging conflict, parang ganun. Nakakalungkot lang po kasi siyempre ang tagal na namin sa Eat Bulaga!, matagal na yung Sex Bomb sa Eat Bulaga!. Tapos, ako lang yung naghahanap ng trabaho, pati yung SexBomb, nawalan ng trabaho," saad ni Joy.

Kuwento ni Joy, mula pa noong July ng nakaraang taon ay hindi na siya kinukuha ng TAPE para mag-choreography at staging sa Eat Bulaga!. Wala naman daw siyang kontrata sa show at tuwing tatawagan lang naman daw siya nakakapagtrabaho roon.

"Siyempre po, may family po ako. Kailangan ko rin pong magtrabaho. Tapos, nawalan din po ako ng trabaho sa GMA," sabi ng dancer turned choreographer/talent manager.

Ang tinutukoy ni Joy ay ang pagka-cancel sa ere ng afternoon soap na Daisy Siyete last year. Ang Focus Entertainment, Inc., na pag-aari niya, ang producer ng show at stars dito ang buong SexBomb at iba pang talents ng Focus.

Ang SexBomb naman, mula pa noong June last year, ay hindi na raw pinag-renew ng six-month contract ng TAPE.

"I think June po last year nag-expire ang contract nila. Pagkatapos po noon, hindi na sila nagpadala ng contract, hindi na nag-renew. Usually po kasi, pagka-expire ng six-month contract, nagpapadala sila ng contract from TAPE office.

"Pagkatapos nga pong mag-expire nung June, wala na pong pinadala. Pero ang SexBomb po noon, with Eat Bulaga! pa rin. Lumalabas pa rin sila," sabi pa ni Joy.

Tuwing Lunes at Biyernes lumalabas ang Sex Bomb sa longest-running noontime show in the Philippines.

Tinanong si Joy kung may sama ba siya ng loob sa pagkakaalis ng SexBomb sa Eat Bulaga!.

"Wala po. Nalungkot lang po," sagot niya. "Dahil siyempre, hindi naman po puwedeng sumama ang loob ko, dahil natulungan kami ng Eat Bulaga! for how many years."

Masaya naman daw siya sa pagkaka-hire naman sa kanya ng ABS-CBN.

"Pinagdasal ko po ito for how many days na magkaroon ako ng trabaho. I'm so blessed na nabigyan ako ng trabaho. Trabaho lang. Wala naman akong naisip na... Nagtraydor ba 'ko? Hindi naman po, e. Di ba po?" balik-tanong niya.

Nagpaalam naman daw siya nang maayos kay Ms. Malou Choa-Fagar noong bago siya makuha ng Happy, Yipee, Yehey! para maging choreographer at stage director ng show.

"Sabi ko, okey lang ba na maghanap ako, as Joy Cancio, ng work sa ibang network. Sabi niya, okey po. Di no problem.

"That's the time na nagpunta ako sa ABS, pati po sa Channel 5. Fortunate din naman po na natawag ako ng Channel 2, sila po ang nauna, at in-offer-an ako ng show to choreograph and to stage. Do the staging," saad ni Joy.

Nilinaw rin ni Joy na hindi niya alam na pang-noontime show pala ang pagtatrabahuhan niya sa Kapamilya station.

"Hindi ko naman po alam na noontime show ito. Hindi naman po ito originally ang slot niya.

"May pinirmahan po akong kontrata, di ba po sa kontrata, hindi mo pa puwedeng ipagsabi ang show habang hindi pa umeere? May secrecy pa roon. Wala po akong power para magsalita tungkol sa show."

Nalipat daw ang timeslot ng show na gagawin niya at doon na nga lang niya nalaman na katapat na nito ang show na pinagtrabahuhan niya for 11 years.

Jessy Mendiola's Sabel Enters Final Week

Next week na ang huling linggo ng drama series ng ABS-CBN na Sabel, na nagsilbing launching project ng Kapamilya talent na si Jessy Mendiola.

Sa presscon para sa huling linggo ng Sabel noong Huwebes, March 3, ay humarap sa entertainment press si Jessy kasama ang kanyang leading men na sina AJ Perez at Joseph Marco. Ginanap ang presscon sa 14th floor ng ELJ Bldg. sa loob ng ABS-CBN compound.

Dahil ang Sabel nga ang nagsilbing biggest break ni Jessy sa showbiz, ano ang mga pagbabagong nangyari sa kanya mula nang gampanan niya ang pangunahing papel dito?

"Naging mature na po ako... Naging mature ako sa pag-iisip ko, sa mga situations sa real life. Mas naihambing ko si Sabel sa pagiging mas positive.

"Kasi, sa sobrang dami ng problema ni Sabel sa script, sa story, sobrang heavy na parang napakaganda lang tingnan sa kanya na nagiging positive pa din siya.

"So, yun po yung natutunan ko in real life, na kahit na ano pong masamang mangyari sa iyo, pag naging positive ka, may positive din pong babalik," saad ng 18-year-old actress.

Iniisa-isa rin ni Jessy ang mga pagbabago sa iba't ibang aspeto ng buhay niya nang makuha niya ang role sa Sabel.

"Sobrang laki po ng pagbabago," sambit niya.

"Kasi, simula po nung nag-Sabel kami, mas nakikilala po kami ng mga tao, mas nasusundan po nila yung istorya. Parang yung iba nga po, sobrang affected... Naglalakad ako sa mall, may lumapit po sa akin at sinabing, 'Wag mong ipapakita sa akin si Margaret [Rita Avila's character], ha, sasabunutan ko!'

"Talagang sinusundan nila yung story. Masaya lang po ako kasi alam nila yung nangyayari sa show namin."

Dagdag pa ni Jessy, nakatulong daw ang kanyang first major teleserye na pinagbidahan upang mas mapabuti ang work attitude niya.

"Sa sarili ko naman po, mas masasabi kong mas focus ako ngayon sa trabaho. Tinuruan po ako ng Sabel na mas maging maging professional, mature, and very hopeful po sa future," saad niya.

Pagdating naman sa kanyang lovelife, sinabi ni Jessy na mas nagiging maingat na siya dahil na rin sa mga nangyari sa kanyang role bilang Sabel.

"Mas conscious po ako ngayon. Natutunan ko po na pag masyado kang paligoy-ligoy, may mga problemang darating," aniya.

Sa istorya kasi ay nabuntis sa murang edad si Sabel.

"Sabi ko, 'Ay, ang hirap pala, ang hirap maging young mother!' So I give credit to...dun sa mga young mothers today na sobrang laking hirap ng pinagdadaanan nila."

Dagdag nito, "Focus lang po muna ako sa work ngayon. Mas maganda kung work lang muna."

Suportado rin daw si Jessy ng kanyang pamilya sa career na kanyang tinahak.

"Sa family ko, sobrang saya po nila na nabigyan po ako ng break. Very supportive po yung mommy ko, yung mga kapatid ko.

"Yung little sister ko nga po, pag nakikita ako sa TV, sobrang saya niya. [Sinasabi niya sa akin], 'Ate, nakikita ko yung show mo, lagi ko pinapanood. Lagi ako umuuwi para mapanood yun. Kumusta na si Kuya AJ, Kuya Joseph?'

"Parang ang saya lang kasi pati family mo, very supportive," pahayag ni Jessy.

Inamin naman ni Jessy na may mga pagkakataon na nahirapan siya sa ginagampanang role.

"Ako po, pag gumagawa ako ng mga eksena, minsan po hindi ko siya nabibitawan agad. Yung mga very heavy scenes na involving sampalan, sabunutan, sapakan, ganun.

"Mahirap lang siyang dalhin, lalo na po yung rape scenes. Kasi, hindi pa naman po ako nare-rape!" natawang sabi ng dalaga.

"Sobrang bigat lang po para sa akin at ni Joseph. Tapos, pag titingnan ko si Joseph, parang siya pa yung ire-rape ko," biro ni Jessy tungkol sa kanyang co-star.

"Yun yung hesitation ko minsan. Pero nung pinag-usapan naman namin na 'wag kang matakot, tulungan kita, hindi kita pagsasamantalahan...' Tapos yung director namin, nandun lang. Ginawa ko na lang din kasi I trust them naman."

Meron ding mga negatibong komento na naririnig si Jessy tungkol sa seksing imahe ng Sabel, ngunit hindi raw siya nagpapaapekto rito.

"Well, you can't please everbody naman. Others naman, sinasabi nila, 'Ang bata-bata mo pa, nagpapa-sexy ka na.'

"Hindi naman po siya talaga sexy, it just so happens na ganun yung tema ng show namin. And hindi talaga siya sobrang bastos, kasi some things happen in real life talaga. I think it's realistic," paliwanag ni Jessy.

Nang tanungin si Jessy kung magpapatuloy na siya sa pagtanggap ng sexy projects, umiling ito at sinabing meron pa rin siyang mga limitasyon.

Isa mga limitasyon nito ay ang pagsusuot ng bikini.

"Sa ngayon po, hindi pa ako handa na magpakita ng mature na mature na," sabi ni Jessy.

Inamin din nito na hindi pa siya ganun ka-confident sa kanyang katawan.

"Insecure pa po kasi talaga ako sa katawan ko. Kung puwede ko nga balutin lang yung buong katawan ko, gagawin ko!" natatawa niyang sabi.

Pero dagdag ni Jessy, "Para sa akin po kasi, basta maganda yung role, tatanggapin ko. Ang pagiging aktres po kasi hindi puwedeng yun at yun lang ang gagawin mo.

"Dun naman po sa mga scenes na medyo daring, I'm sure naman po na hindi ako pababayaan ng management. So, trina-trust ko naman po sila."

May mga nag-offer na rin daw kay Jessy na mag-pose sa men's magazines, ngunit tinanggihan ito ng dalaga.

Sinagot din ni Jessy ang napapabalitang paglaki na raw ng ulo niya pagkatapos niyang magbida sa isang teleserye.

"As long as kilala ko yung sarili ko, at yung nakakakilala sa akin, alam nila na hindi ako nagbabago," sabi ni Jessy.

"Para po sa iba, siguro nasasabi yun kasi hindi ako masyado kilala. Pero alam ko po, 'tsaka sinabihan na po ako ng mga bosses at saka mga handlers na pagdating sa mga ganyang launching, may mga kaakibat na isyu na 'Lumalaki ulo mo, at nagkaka-attitude.'

"Alam ko po kasi pag nagka-issue yung isang artista na lumalaki ulo, siyempre ide-deny. Kasi siyempre, sino ba naman aamin na, 'Opo, lumalaki ulo ko!'" pagbibiro ni Jessy.

"Pero sa akin po talaga," patuloy niya, "hindi ko po maramdaman yun. Siguro po nakikita po nila pag pagod na ako, hindi po kasi ako masyadong palangiti sa mga taong hindi ko kakilala. Kaya po lumalabas yun.

"Pero hindi po ibig sabihin nun lumalaki ulo ko kasi pare-parehas naman po tayong mga tao, may trabaho. Artista po o hindi artista, napapagod.

"Siguro po, respeto sa co-actors, sa staff, respeto po sa artista. Kasi po yung iba, iniisip nila yung mga artista hindi napapagod, walang nararamdaman.

"Parang kunwari, may magsasabi, 'Ay si ano, pangit naman 'yan!' Tapos pag narinig niya [artista], masasaktan, maaapektuhan na siya buong araw. At kinabukasan, sa taping, iisipin niya, 'Ang pangit ko daw. Ano gagawin ko?' So, may mga reason bakit nangyayari yung ibang bagay.

"Yung iba po nai-issue na ganun, naiintindihan ko po yun, pagod sila. Pero may mga iba po naman talaga na sinasadya nila."

Sa pagtatapos ng Sabel ay may follow-up project agad si Jessy—isang "primetime teleserye." Ngunit hindi pa raw puwedeng ibunyag ang mga detalye ng naturang proyekto.
