#KathNiel for The Hows Of Us

This is the film most awaited by fans and just about anyone I know. I think we were just so hungry about updates, the teasers alone gained thousands of views, and we know why. It’s because the most popular loveteam in the country is in it, who wouldn’t love #kathniel. Mind you Darren Espanto, Susan Africa, Jean Garcia, Kit Thompson, Ria Atayde, Alwyn Uytingco, Juan Miguel Severo and a lot more will be here. 

They will showcase the love story of Primo and George and how they try and save a love that lasted for years - when you try and give reasons to stay, but fall on a thousand more reasons to be in separate ways. 

Direk Cathy say “They are matured now, it’s not easy to make them cry, in the same manner you get tougher in life and it’s simpler in the past. You will see another layer with KathNiel, I did not direct Daniel Padilla here, he just did it. He has grown and I am proud of him. They have never dwelled on matured roles and Inwas warned not to do this but I did it in this film, talk about s3x, relationships, but not into something that is not needed in the film. I have kids so I won’t make something they couldn’t watch. How honest can I be? I needed to see something new from them, they had previous projects with a different feel, it’s why we are doing this story. People doubt the capacity of my artists especially Kathryn, it’s why she did it with flying colors. It’s not just a story, this is more because it’s a slice of life, from young years til they mature. It was a challenge for all of them and it’s one of the reasons why we did this. KathNiel fans want HURT, they ask me to do something that would make them carry towels to cry on in the movie. There is romcom, the end though has a twist.”

Kath adds “Every time I make something I ask if it will help, but not to the point of safe, some skin once in a while so you can go out of the box. I take my time, I don’t hurry growing up. Yes we did also have things to do to save our own relationship in real life, I made the right choice because even if we want to make it perfect it isn’t, we grow and move on. The secret with us? You grow together, you don’t give a reason for it, the things we fought two years ago isn’t the same today, just not too much of our lives, we have separate ones but we are so good when we are together. I think it shouldn’t be just us all the time, we have support systems, we have friends, we have families and it is an effort because I know people miss him too. We are here because we have the reason to stay and why we grow together.”

Daniel says “It is always a decision, I am not a love guru but I always go back to the reason why I loved her even if there is a problem now, where we are and where we are going. Some if the scenes here are from Kathryn and I’s own experience. Just think how hard the material is, it’s difficult and has more instructions so there is definitely a change in her direction style. Do we get tired of each other? Yes but she’s part of my everyday, we still have a lot to do and we are in the next level of love, next level of relationship. We see facebook worthy relationships, but love is different for every person, it’s a 24 hour job to be a malupit na boyfriend, I struggle, it’s a problem when that happens because it should be always difficult. In this industry, it’s been a while but in life I still have a lot of things to accomplish. I am always serious when I am in a relationship, otherwise you just do rock and roll. That’s the plan, Kathryn makes me a better person. Other than kilig, I found why I lover her.”

It will be also seen in Brunei, Papua New Guinea and the Middle East on September 6, the US and Canada on September 7, London on September 8, Spain on September 9, Australia and New Zealand on September 13, and Taiwan on September 16. 

Again, make sure you fight for movie tickets this coming August 29, 2018. If you’re not there, they will hunt you down haha! Though really it will be a good one, it felt like it while they were talking about the film at the press conference.

I love #KathNiel.

John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo in "A Second Chance"

I'm probably just one of the millions waiting for this second installment of the John Lloyd - Bea starrer "One More Chance" where generations upon generations got hooked with the love story of Popoy and Basha. We have all sulked, cried, laughed, loved and learned that what may seem to be an impossible situation, still spark hope if deep inside you still love each other. Yes, you can say Pinoys are very melodramatic, even mushy than that. Though in this day and age, that story taught us a lot of things and reminded us to hold on to relationships if you can say that with all the pain... it's worth it!

Ms. Cathy Garcia Molina was initially hesitant to do a sequel because the first one was already super successful that people might expect a lot of things and she wouldn't do it. After 8 long years, of course... a lot would have already changed between the actors and the characters they portray. The marriage, the love, the affinity that got lost somewhere in time. We all know that's not gonna be easy, nor do we expect it would be a real happy ending... But we do hope this movie might turn out just right to make us think. To also make us believe it would still be something good between Popoy and Basha when the trust, the love somehow gets blurred in the process. 

Here's the grand presscon on video including some excerpts of the Q&A with the cast this evening:

Here are some photos from the same event too:

A Second Chance will show on theaters this November 25, 2015 and is produced by the good people from Star Cinema. Bea Saw (who's roaring for a comeback in the industry), Janus del Prado (the dramatic but funny bestfriend), Ahron Villena (who looks like is having a wonderful pairing with a YFSF contestant) were also there too during the presscon. Btw, you must watch this because Direk Cathy just spilled earlier that John Lloyd has butt exposures and Bea is a little more matured so you can only expect she's going to do what a proper house wife would do. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo: She's Dating The Gangster

We were able to see Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, Cathy Garcia Molina and Carmi Raymundo yesterday before the premier night of She's Dating A Gangster at the Star Cinema office in ABSCBN. It was a nice to see them after a long time and they've been going through morning shows before this happened. They were a little tired but they were still game to answer questions. I loved how Direk Cathy went on and joked about Daniel sleeping while in the blog conference... we laughed profusely about that. Kathryn Bernardo was a ray of sunshine. She was really pretty and I find that very appealing. This is why she's liked by millions of youngsters today. Putting them together in a project like this was just something bound to be successful. And I just learned they did 15 Million pesos on their first day! Isn't that amazing?

Bianca Bernardino, author of the book She's Dating A Gangster

This is also the first time that the author actually attended a blogcon and she was ecstatic to tell us the story behind the book. It has sold over 70.000 copies and has gotten around 600,000 readers through Wattpad. They also made a version of the book now with Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla on the cover which totally made the sales soar even more we were told. Nothing surprising though, I think them having bigger on screen appearances is now a norm!

Director Cathy Garcia Molina has several blockbusters in her belt

When asked about casting, Director Cathy Garcia Molina said that there were no other choices other than making this film all about Kathryn and Daniel. They were the perfect ones for the role and they thought about it immediately upon seeing the material. Without batting an eyelash she wanted to only see these two to play the role. Their on and off screen romance just speaks volume on how they would be able to make these roles believable... which I think actually came out good in the movie according to those who have watched it yesterday.

Then when Kathryn Bernardo was about to answer questions from us, you know what Daniel did? He removed the cable from the microphone and played with it. These guys are crazy and we find that very cute... undeniably, even if Daniel was a little bit naughty he often consoled Kathryn by being very touchy that afternoon. The small things, like stroking her hair... the little quirks he does like putting his head on her shoulder... if we're not aware, we would really thing that these two are already in a relationship. I'm sure Kathniel fans would love that!

They were quite aware of the "albularyo" comparisons on social media but it looks like they were even making jokes about it. Their roles Kenji and Athena will revolve around their unexpected love story. They will also involve the future and the past. This is where Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta's role come in later on in the movie. You'll love that part if you see the movie. I even saw people crying no joke. The movie also stars Khalil Ramos, Sofia Andres, Pamu Pamorada, Marco Gumabao, John Uy, Alex Diaz, Igi Boy Flores and Yana Asistio.

She's Dating a Gangster is shown in over 150 theaters nationwide and will tell you a story about love that encompasses time. Make sure you watch this 20th Anniversary offering of Star Cinema. I hear they are running a few weeks so make sure you get felt on social media as well. Star Cinema listens to your tweets and Facebook posts so make sure you do not miss this on theaters even if it's raining outside! Let's see if it can be the biggest blockbuster this year!
