Globe Blue Carpet for MMFF 2020 

This evening's MMFF Gabi ng Parangal was a whole lotta fun as we saw celebrities come one by one. We saw at the Globe Blue Carpet Ritz Azul, Gerald Napoles, Maui Taylor, Michael De Mesa, EA Guzman, Zanjoe Marudo, Alfred Vargas, Harlene Bautista and John Arcilla.

Paulo Avelino was so dapper, he had silver hair, wore a tux, shared his music, told us about his fans and the hosts Giselle Sanchez and Bekz Battalions Chad Kinis just got so crazy wild because he looked so good. They also warned people about piracy which probably is a problem this year in MMFF.

They also announced the Best Float (virtual) this year which went to Magikland, while Isa Pang Bahaghari came second, while third went to Fan Girl.

Marco Gumabao and Kylie Verzosa hosted the formal awards show, MMDA chair reiterated these are done online for the safety of the general public.

Say Hi To CHANG AI EXPRESS

Ms. Aiai Delas Alas for the new Chang Ai Express

We had a short luncheon with Comedy Queen Aiai Delas Alas about the new branding they did with Chang Ai Express “I felt Ai Sarap Express was a little too old so we changed the menu and now we call it Chang Ai Express. Some people have been complaining also that they go to another place in ABSCBN. It’s now going to be known as this so they will find it in Esguerra easily. In 2005, I had a Chinese partner with Ai Charap and I find Chinese food really apt for my taste. I will also put up a restaurant soon in Ayala Malls, I am thinking of an Asian fusion themed restaurant and perhaps I’ll do it with other Asian flavors in other restaurants that I plan to do soon. I may do another branch of Chang Ai Express. I need to do a lot in one day, I don’t stand around even when I am home so I have been doing this for Sancho. I also enjoy seeing people, entertaining them sometimes when I am here. I will put up more restaurants soon, so that is exciting.”

About the recent noise in The Clash “I know it’s a hard job to judge but for my bashers, do know that song choice is a thing that they should consider when joining the show. They also need to know rap still has to be clear and be understood by people. I have been a judge in so many shows, but do know how hard it is to make a decision, we need to do that even if it is hard. I have heard a lot of things, seen angry people but I acknowledge what they feel for their bets and relatives, I am the judge though so we all have to make that decision.”

Chefs Sancho Vito Delas Alas and Ren Tuito

Ms Ai also said her piece about the Best Actress award for Cinemalaya and says “I always make sure the roles I choose are good especially in Indie films. I choose also what I do because if it’s too physically challenging I have to think twice. I wasn’t really expecting the award, Sancho asked me while I was in the Clash judges table, I cried when I heard about it. I don’t know what made me win but I think the character is profound, and I thank the jury of Cinemalaya for taking notice. I praise God for that. I wasn’t able to attend the awards ceremony because I had taping for Sunday Pinasaya, I was okay with whatever he could give me even if I was against Glaiza who did so well in Liway and I knew she was the favorite, I am thankful for the award.”

Cauliflower with Green Beans

Fish and Tofu

1 pc Chang Ai Fried Chicken with Siomai

Mango Sago Medley

Chang Ai Express proudly introduces mainstays and new items on the menu. For appetizers, they have Lumpiang Chang Ai, Chicken Feet, Meat Ball, Siomai and Siopao. They also have viands and mains like Sweet and Sour Pork, Fish and Tofu, Honey Soy Glazed Chicken, Beef and Broccoli, Orange Chicken, Mandarin Chicken, Chow Mien, Mushroom Chicken and their Chang Ai Fried Chicken. Pair it up with the special Chang Ai Fried Rice and a serving of Bokchoy with Oyster Sauce, Kangkong with Garlic, Cauliflower and Green Beans, their sizzlers Sizzling Pork Sisig, Sizzling Chicken Sisig and Pork Liempo. Save room for desserts like the Mango Sago Medley, Creamy Almond Lychee and Coffee Jelly. If you want to save they have combo meals served in the afternoon (11am-3pm) like the 1pc Chang Ai Fried Chicken meal with 3 pc siomai, 1pc Chicken or Sisig with 5pc Siomai both with steamed rice/noodles and iced tea. 

So what do you do now that it’s raining? Order Chang Ai Express via Food Panda or just go visit the branch at the corner of Mother Ignacia and Sgt. Esguerra. 

I love the Chang Ai Fried Chicken, it’s so good!

The Millionaires Wife: Cannes Best Actress Ms. Jacklyn Jose

I wouldn't want to pass the opportunity to interview Ms. Jacklyn Jose. Yes, the one and only Best Actress from Cannes is also a part of The Millionaires Wife. She plays the villain Stella Vergara Montecillo and she wreaked havoc on Louisa's life. Aside from the money, she's just aiming to see how miserable she can make Louisa as Alfred Vergara is already dead. She didn't mean to have her father killed but it was just the result of her brainwashing Jared Montecillo. Without him in the picture, she wouldn't be protected at all and perhaps Stella would make her life a living hell, she's that determined.

Here's our video interview in two parts. Enjoy!

I love the way she answered our questions, and how she was so enthusiastic to tell us about the process in molding her character. She mentions that there are tons of highlights in the show that is only going to happen today so you better catch the finale!

I was told by her co stars in this project that it is indeed an honor to have worked with Jacklyn Jose let alone the Cannes Best Actress. I was actually a little put off because she didn't want to put that out in the open but I think she's got her reasons. She didn't want the others to make that a big deal but says it is an opportunity to be proud of our country. I couldn't imagine how much stress and physical work they had to put in into each scene. She's more meticulous and doesn't even do it if she doesn't know where the character is coming from. This is much harder to shoot because they don't do it by following the story, they do it per scene so it kinda skips, pretty hard to remember. She does her homework and that's something that the other actors of this project actually learned from her. Maybe me too in the near future, I kid!

There will be someone dying, but I laughed so hard when she told us about the forest scenes (which was pretty much done in every teleserye). The Filipino audience actually sometimes wouldn't find the ending great if they didn't do that part. Playing a villain or the hero, it doesn't matter to her because both are fulfilling. She also mentions how much work they've put into this project and hopes people get to know how these all ends!

Thank you for the opportunity to talk to you Ms. Jacklyn Jose! Thank you also for being so candid while we were doing this interview. I hope to get to watch you do A1 Ko Sayo which is more of a comedy flick. I'm sure you'll continue to be loved with that too!

Thank you to the cast and crew of The Millionaires Wife who were all so accommodating during our set visit! Hope you all get to watch the show today as it ends Louisa's story.
