JODI STA. MARIA Launches The JSM Channel

Jodi Sta. Maria has always been very good at her craft. As an actress, she has gone miles and bounds from being that Star Magic teen that did iconic shows Gimik, Flames, Jologs and Tabing Ilog. 

Her recent stint in doing a Philippine adaptation of Broken Marriage Vow has earned her the highly coveted Best Actress Award for a Leading Role at the Asian Academy Creative Awards, and still is eager to re-invent herself. A few days ago, she announced her newest venture... and created a new YouTube channel called The JSM Channel. Her goal is to put out light and inspirational content and she gave us a glimpse of it too.

Jodi says "How much am I willing to share? It's not going to be an open book, it's just going to be parts of my life that I want to share and only those that would give valuable lessons. If they learn something from it, then it's good! I don't want to say it's a platform for me to practice my degree, just a place to share what is valuable to me, and if someone relates to it, then it's good. If there's something to talk about, we'd do it there. For now, my focus would be the JSM channel, and I still have a few projects this year, please watch out for that. 13 years ago, the idea for this started but it was just the pandemic that happened. I couldn't say it's the right time, but life just gave me so many reasons, it's not something that was given to me in an instant. This is a dream project, and am looking forward to produce more shows in the coming months."

When they asked about Thirdy, she says "I asked my son about him guesting in one or more episodes but he's busy with school. Having a platform means you should use it responsibly, use it wisely, instead of just tearing people down, you ask yourself if it's something you can be proud of."

Jodi has 3 shows on the channel now like Live Light, Let's Drink to That, JSM Travel and Tours. She will be with AC Soriano and Cheena Crab on Let's Drink to That to give the low down on what happened in the news that week (while keeping it light). Needless to say, AC and Cheena were really fun to watch and banter with so if you are fond of that, go watch it on the JSM channel. 

Claudine Barretto For "Etiquette for Mistresses"

The first day of box office might have just gauged it's success as it earned 15 Million. I took the time to watch it alone the other day because I figured I might actually be writing about it illegibly if I just wrote about it and didn't even get to see it on theaters. It was a bit full, so I chose the next screening in the evening that had about a couple or more seats in the center still vacant. I read the book but I remembered Claudine Barretto said that it wasn't strictly going to follow the story. I guess they just made the rules in the book and applied it on the film. I don't want to spoil things, but in my books, it's Claudine's character Chloe that has the most interesting background and story in this project. We talked about it during the short interview we had in the Star Cinema offices last week.

Here are excerpts of it:

I'm very SORRY to have been a little out of my mind asking non sensical questions, I was really nervous and forgot everything while I was talking. I didn't even get to take photos of her after the event. It's my first time meeting her and it was like meeting Gretchen, I was like that nervous! LOL!

Congrats to Etiquette for Mistresses, to Ms. Kris Aquino, Iza Calzado, Cutie Kimmy kimmy Kim Chiu and Cheena Crab. Hope you continue to promote this and have more block screening for the fans. People need to see this even abroad Star Cinema! I'd give it an 8/10.
