Kathryn Bernardo Reacts to the Crying Girl of Viral Video

As proven by her hysterical fan on You Tube, Mara Clara lead star Kathryn Bernardo was overwhelmed the extent of her influence over viewers because of her dramatic portrayal in the show. But she refused to take the credit alone, knowing that her success wouldn’t be possible without the help of her co-stars and the staff of Mara Clara. “Hindi naman po nilalagay sa ulo namin yung success namin ngayon. Siguro thankful lang kami dahil tinanggap ng tao yung character namin ni Julia (Montes). Hindi naman po ako magiging effective na bida kung hindi effective yung kontrabida so nagtutulungan po talaga kami sa set. Pero bawal maging mayabang, ayaw namin,” she said in a recent interview.

In fact, Kathryn made an effort to get to know her avid fan Pamela del Rosario who’s based in Chicago. The 11-year-old recently made headlines due to the video of her emotional outburst while watching the ‘death’ of Mara last week. “Siyempre na-touch po talaga kami nung napanood namin yung video na yun. Gusto ko talaga siya ma-meet dahil nakita ko talaga kung gaano napamahal sa kanya si Mara.” Kathryn even prepared a video of herself, assuring Pamela that her character didn’t really die. Then they finally had the chance to chat via Skype with the help of TV Patrol last Thursday, March 10.

Although it’s a bit hard to be seen in public with her instant fame these days, Kathryn shared that she gets to interact with her fans via her active Twitter account instead. “Siyempre sa Twitter namin, palagi sila nagre-react about Mara Clara, talagang nakaka-touch po kasi makikita mo na sinusubaybayan nila. Tsaka before Mara Clara kaunti lang yung followers ko, ngayon madami na, nagulat din ako. Kasi hindi naman lahat makikita mo, unlike sa Twitter matwi-tweet mo sila and malaking bagay na yun para sa kanila.”

But with all the recent scandals involving celebrities on Twitter, the 14-year-old actress agreed that she has to be extra careful when posting comments online. “Siguro yung Twitter malaking tulong talaga lalo na sa mga artista kasi yun ang way para makapag-communicate ang mga artista sa fans, pero siyempre kailangan responsible din. Kung anong iti-tweet namin kailangan magingat kami, kasi konting mali lang, pwedeng mabigyan ng meaning.”

Angelene Quinto Willing to Do Acting

Noong Sabado ay pinahanga tayong lahat ni KC Concepcion sa kanyang magaling na pagganap bilang si Angeline Quinto sa Maalaala Mo Kaya. Sobrang tuwa at honored naman ang Star Power first female superstar sa ginawa ni KC. “Nagpapasalamat ako kay ate KC, malaking karangalan po iyon sa akin, isa siya sa mga idol ko. Sobrang galing, talagang parang sobrang naramdaman ko yung mga nangyari. Parang nag-flashback sa akin, masayang-masaya ako. Hindi naman ganun ang itsura ko, KC Concepcion, ang ganda-ganda,” nakangiting pahayag ni Angeline.

Masuwerte talaga ang dalaga dahil napiling gamitin ng teleseryeng Maria La Del Barrio bilang theme song ang kanyang kantang “Patuloy Ang Pangarap” mula sa kanyang self-titled album. Ito yung kinanta niyang original composition by Jonathan Manalo noong Grand Finals ng Star Power. “Iyon ang isa sa theme song ng Maria La Del Barrio, natuwa talaga ako, at noong narinig ko di ko alam na ako. Akala ko ay may ibang kumanta, kaya tuwang-tuwa ako nang malaman kong ginamit palang theme song iyon,” dagdag pa ni Angeline.

Bukod sa pagkanta ay gusto na rin daw subukan ni Angeline ang pag-arte at mayroon siyang mga gustong maging leading men. “Tatlo po kasi iyon, kaya lang ay kay ate KC na na yung isa (Piolo Pascual) kaya dalawa na lang. Si Gerald Anderson at Coco Martin, si Gerald sobra akong natutuwa sa kanya nang first time naming tiga-Star Power sa ASAP. Natuwa ako sa pagbati niya sa amin, siyempre sikat na sikat si Kuya Gerald, siya po yung unang nag-approach sa akin. Si Coco naman po, na-meet ko po siya sa isang hotel, parang nakita ko rin yung sarili ko sa kanya. Tahimik po siya, parang mahiyain din parang ako,” kuwento ng singer.

Albie Casiño on His First Starring Role in a Movie

Albie Casiño was on cloud nine when he attended the story conference of his very first movie with Star Cinema which will also feature his Mara Clara co-stars Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes. The movie will be directed by Cathy Garcia Molina who helmed last year’s blockbuster hit My Amnesia Girl, which was top-billed by John Lloyd Cruz and Toni Gonzaga.

Albie, who was a relative unknown prior to being chosen to play one of the leading roles in the top-rating primetime teleserye Mara Clara, said in an interview following the story conference that he was overwhelmed that the success of the teleserye has led him to a movie under Star Cinema. “Sobrang saya ko na napaka-successful ng Mara Clara. Hindi ko talaga inexpect na magiging ganito kalakas ang impact namin sa mga tao. Bago mag-air ‘yung show ang takot ko lang noon na sana hindi ako magmukhang tanga.”

But the 17-year-old actor admitted that thinking about this movie project has given him the jitters. “Takot ako kay Direk Cathy. Baka masyado nang mataas ang expectation ng mga tao sa akin because of Mara Clara. Takot ko na dito sa movie hindi ko ma-meet ‘yung expectation ng marami.”

The movie will also star AJ Perez who will play Julia’s leading man. Albie and AJ have been good friends for some time now. “Super excited ako kasi makakasama ko si AJ, ha ha ha! Magkabarkada kami niyan sa school. Parang two birds with one stone kasi this is my first movie and first time to work with him.”

Speaking of the success of Mara Clara, Albie also shared his thoughts on the online video of a little Filipina girl who cried in front of the TV after watching the character of Mara reportedly die in the teleserye. “Nakakatawa ‘yun, sobra! Ha ha ha! Tawa ako nang tawa nung mapanood ko ‘yung video. Sa taping, lahat kami pinanood namin nang sabay. Nasa likod ako, hindi ko mapigil ‘yung tawa ko. Sabi sa akin, ‘Ssshhh! ‘Wag kang maingay, nanonood kami!’ Grabe ‘yung bata, umiyak talaga nung mamatay si Mara. ‘Yung lola ko umiyak din nung mapanood ‘yung episode. Sana ma-meet namin ‘yung bata.”

Judy Ann Santos Now a 100% Panatag Mom

Mula sa camera at tungo sa hapag: ganyan ang drama ngayon ng mga pakikipagsapalaran ni Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo sa kanyang pagbabalik sa TV. Pero ang challenges na kinakaharap niya, walang kinalaman sa pagiging aktres; bagkus, tungkol ang mga ito sa pagiging ina. Pagdating kasi sa pagpapakain sa anak niyang si Yohan, dumadaan siya sa drama, action, at romance—drama basta’t may iyakan dahil sa hirap minsan magpakain ng anak, action basta’t may sagupaan sa hapag sa pagitan ng nagpapakain at ng ayaw kumain, at romance sa tuwing inaakit ang bata ng paborito niyang pagkain gaya ng cheesedog.

Tila adventure na may paulit-ulit na episodes ang pinagdadaanan ni Judy Ann, at mayroon siyang mga katuwang para gampanan ang kanyang motherly role: ang asawa niyang si Ryan Agoncillo, na pangunahin niyang partner pagdating sa anumang may kinalaman sa pamilya; at Lactum, ang pangunahing milk brand na nagsusulong ng 100% nourishment para sa mga bata, kasama ng three balanced meals a day. Sila ang nagpapanatag sa kanya nang 100%. Ang sentimyentong ito, matutunghayan sa TV commercial ng Lactum kung saan gumanap ang mag-inang Judy Ann at Yohan. Bukod sa ang advertisement na ito ang magmamarka ng pagbabalik ng batikang aktres sa Philippine TV, ito rin ang magsisilbing hudyat ng pagpasok ni Yohan sa mundo ng pag-arte.

Bilang bagong 100% panatag mom at endorser ng Lactum, magsisilbing ambassador ng 100% nourishment ang aktres. At bukod sa pagiging ina, angkop na angkop din ito sa kanyang role bilang chef. Dahil mahalaga sa kanya ang kinakain ni Yohan, natututukan din niya ang nutrients na pumapasok sa katawan nito; kaya naman inalam na rin nang husto ni Judy Ann ang mga bahagi ng food pyramid na siyang batayan hindi lamang ng isang balanced meal kundi batayan din ng sustansyang nasa bawat baso ng Lactum bilang suporta sa tatlong balanced meals araw-araw.

Ang kinalakhan nating face of Philippine soap opera, is now a Lactum 100% Panatag Mom—at ang mukhang kilalang-kilala na natin sa TV at sine, siya na rin mismo ang kumikilala sa pangangailangang i-advocate ang pag-nourish sa mga bata. Nawa’y pakinggan ng kanyang fans ang kanyang mensahe hinggil sa pag-aalaga gaya ng pakikinig nila sa bawat salita ng kanyang dialogue sa mga teleserye’t pelikula.

Tambayan 101.9, ABS-CBN’s FM radio station, was also victorious after being named Best FM Station. DJ Chinaheart and DJ Charlie also tied for Best Disc Jock while the “Martin D at Chinaheart sa Tambayan 101.9” show was named Most Development-Oriented FM Program.

DZMM also successfully held the 12th edition of the DZMM annual fun run for a cause, dubbed this year as “Takbo Para Sa Karunungan” last Sunday (Mar 13). About 4,000 runners converged at the starting line at Quirino Grandstand to run for the benefit of 25 young scholars from Metro Manila. Among the celebrities who participated were ABS-CBN Chairman and CEO Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III, former Vice President and current DZMM anchor Noli “Kabayan” De Castro, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim and Kapamilya artists like singer-actress Karylle.
