INA RAYMUNDO and WILL ASHLEY Does May December Affair Film "X and Y"

Sunday, April 14, 2024


When I heard about this film and the lead stars, I was so eager to cover it. It's called "X and Y" starring my generations "SABADO NIGHTS" icon, Ina Raymundo and the Prima Donnas teen heartthrob Will Ashley.

The film is about a May-December affair, which looking at them physically might have been a long shot but Director Adolf Alix Jr. told us that the characters of Xander and Ysha have their "maturity as individuals" to define that. This is produced by G Channel PH who's quite known for creating content for entertainment especially during the pandemic. This foray to romance and movies was something they wanted to do since the material was masterfully crafted and executed by Direk, their creatives and prolific movie and TV writer Gina Marissa Tagasa (who was also there during the presser).    


Will admits he didn't know who Ina Raymundo was and had fears about approaching her on set. This is officially his first film as a leading man, and was quite nervous about it. Ms. Ina on the other hand was also a bit clueless who Will was because she's been on hiatus for about 8 years prior to this project. She says "I'll be honest because I admit, I'm not quite updated with young stars since I haven't been doing projects for a while now. But I was given enough information by our director where I could stalk Will a bit especially in his Instagram account. I found out how popular he is on TikTok. I also wanted to work with Direk Adolf Alix whom I've worked on TV in the past... which is why I immediately said YES to this film. Will is SO YOUNG! I remember when I met him on the first shooting day, he was 20 at that time. In a sense, he's younger than my first born. My worry really was if I'd do scenes with him, it would look like it's forced because I'd look like his Mom in the movie. He's officially the youngest guy paired with me. I had apprehensions, but I've seen our photos together and I think it did work." 

Will said "That's exactly how I felt when I met you. I asked my Mom about who she was, and her thoughts if our pairing would work. I slowly got the hang of it when I saw the photos we shot, I realized how it would look like on screen and felt good afterwards."

Here's the press conference on video, please enjoy!


The film also stars Elizabeth Oropesa, Bembol Roco, Divine Tetay, Bugoy Carino, Kirst Viray, Ron Angeles, Thor Gomez, Jake Rosales, Glenda Garcia, Rico Barrera and Marnie Lapus.

Make sure you watch it on April 17 as the movie not only talks about romance, ageism, but finding one's dreams, realities. The cast also warned us to bring tissues because it'll be a cry fest in some scenes. This is definitely interesting, and people would relate to their characters as it also discusses the limits of morality and love. 

Who are we to judge?

Gino Santos for Love Me Tomorrow

Sunday, June 12, 2016



I've met Direk Gino Santos in person during the AXE event a few months ago. I then figured out about the hype on why this director is being hounded by the press. Not only is he a good director, but he's actually a good looking chap. I could have mistaken him to be an artist than a director, but that's not why we're here in the blogcon for his movie. 

Love Me Tomorrow is now being shown in cinemas outside the country. It'll be in Singapore and Malaysia on June 19. Fans of Dawn Zulueta, Coleen Garcia and Piolo Pascual are still hounding theaters because this story talks about the different generations, one that asks if it's actually possible to be in love with someone older. Direk Gino lauds the whole cast, also Ms. Dawn Zulueta who he was just able to work with for the first time in this movie. He says "She's really different, you should watch the silent EDM scene where she danced freely, that was something that just happened and it was magical!"

Here's our interview with Direk Gino on Video:















Love Me Tomorrow is still showing on cinemas nationwide. Try to watch it with your friends, I'm sure they would be able to relate with the story. Especially those of the Titas of Manila kind, and the millenials. You'll feel they're all human too and these relationships don't need age to define them.
