Aljur Abrenica, Mark Herras and Janine Gutierrez for Dangwa

Don't you just feel life is unfair when you see too many good looking people in one shot? I know, I've felt that a thousand times. This however happened during the Dangwa Blogcon a few days ago in Quezon City. I missed Aljur Abrenica on TV and he seem to be okay now, we all know that brouhaha that happened in the past. He's totally into his game now and doing this with Janine and Mark was a welcome thing. He's worked so hard and is continually doing so. The format of Dangwa is different, it's like there are several stories inside their own story. Rosa played by Janine Gutierrez is like a fallen angel/cupid that needs to stitch relationships together so she could go back to her true form. Mark and Aljur play Baste and Renz respectively and they're going to be Rosa's suitors in the show. Renz is a very cool and reserved guy, somewhat alta, so he's the one who gave intentions to court Rosa in the show. Baste on the other hand is the childhood best friend who didn't muster enough courage to court Rosa until he saw what Renz was doing, he felt jealous afterwards. 

Here's our interview with Mark Herras during the blogcon:

Mark Herras for Dangwa

I've always regarded Mark as one of the greatest artists produced by GMA. His affinity with the dancing has made him worthy to carry the title Ultimate Badboy of the Dance Floor, something that others won't be able to get years from now. He's also super nice, very humble and straightforward in answering questions. Aside from his sculptured physique, he's one heck of a good looking guy. He's also a proud father and says if ever he's going to have someone in his life, loving his kid too is non negotiable. He's actually still dating, hopeful that if he meets the one it'll be something that he'll cherish for the rest of his life. He deserves to be happy.

Meanwhile, Aljur and Janine suddenly arrived after our interview with Mark Herras, here's a video of our conversation with the Dangwa stars:

Aljur, Mark and Janine for Dangwa Part 2

Janine Gutierrez also admitted that she's looking forward to work with Elmo. We didn't know at that time that he was already in ABSCBN and didn't get to ask her about it. Apparently it was all a secret. Anyway, they're planning to have Alden and Maine be on the show sometime next year and the director says there's an effort for them to guest on the show. There will be more small stories in between the story of Baste, Renz and Rosa that you should watch out for. They hope you get to watch the episodes this month and when the year ends. It's going to be great, exciting, and surprising because you can only expect great guests on the show real soon.

Here's some shots we got from the blogcon last Saturday:

Oh by the way, if you've loved the theme for Dangwa and plan to sing that song, record it and share it on their page here to get featured on their social media accounts! Thank you so much to Janine, Aljur and Mark!

Aljur Abrenica Back with 2 New Films and PUMA Endorsement

He worked so hard to get to where he is right now. He's not stopping anytime soon. 

We met Aljur Abrenica a couple of days ago to get to know a couple of things about what he's doing this year. First off, I watched his movie with Kris Bernal a month ago which was entitled EDSA during a premier in Megamall. I thought it was going to be a little historic but I think they used present day interpretations and metaphors, but I liked the story. I also liked the fact that it is their comeback movie (of which I thought would never happen since Aljur left the station a couple of months ago). They also looked so happy doing the project which was not intended to be commercially released but to educate students as it'll be shown in schools and universities. Aljur is proud of that film and we even got to talk to him before the premier, here's a video of our short interview:

Aljur is also glad that he's back in the grind, with a few more films this year including the one directed by Ato Bautista named EXPRESSWAY. He's going to be together with Alvin Anson in this movie and this isn't the run of the mill indie film because he had to talk, personify a real life gunman. He was a little afraid to actually talk to him but he needed to do it so he can learn the nuances, the treatment he'd want to show in this project. He's a hired gunman who is part of a syndicate and all he wanted to do was impress his boss. It wasn't too hard for him to kill people either as he was already trigger happy in the beginning. Will that pose a problem for his acceptance in the group or not? We don't know. This will also be part of the Sinag Maynila Festival showing on April 21 to 26, 2016. You should check out http://www.sinagmaynilafilmfestival.com for details about their schedules and theaters.

Aljur is also still working on another project set to be shown around September, you should watch out for that. His album though is still out in the market and he's got a single he's promoting "Mahal Pa Rin Kita" which is a cover, originally sang by Rockstar (in the 90's). He convinced us quite easily when he sang it during the latter part of our interview so please grab a copy of it on major record bars and stores nationwide. 

He's back, definitely back. Hopefully he's going to do more and perhaps a new series on GMA after doing the successful Dangwa series with Janine Gutierrez and Mark Herras. Oh by the way, Aljur just got the endorsement for international brand PUMA. He's going to be the face of PUMA in the Philippines and you should expect an advertisement anytime soon. Puma's representatives said that he embodies what they wanted in the brand as the "ultimate" personification of it. He's hunky, athletic and he does quality things in his craft. 

Congratulations Aljur! I'm sure you're going places!
