Jodi, Robin, Richard in New Afternoon Show Before Showtime

Leo, Martin, Mona and Lisa. These are just names to you now but as soon as it airs on ABSCBN this coming Monday, you’ll love each of their characters as portrayed by Robin Padilla, Richard Yap and Jodi Sta. Maria. This is called SANA DALAWA ANG PUSO (I wish I had 2 hearts) and will be the afternoon offering right before Showtime on the kapamilya channel.

Robin plays Leo, a man who takes odd jobs for a living. Although poor, falls madly in love with rich beauty diva Lisa of the Loriano Group of Companies (played by Jodi)... who was in a supposed arranged marriage with Martin Co who later finds himself a poor barrio girl who looks exactly like Lisa but is named Mona, a chicken farmer. Will their lives intertwine? Will love be good for these four people? How are they related? You have to watch the first episode tomorrow on ABSCBN.

Jodi says “I am personally very excited to see this, this is fun, you’ll learn a lot of things, sometimes very romantic and I hope you get to watch it. The postponement had nothing to do with Robin but our creative team had to do revisions with the script and characters. We were not ready yet last August but this is good now. There will be 4 characters tomorrow and I believe they will be in love with Martin and Leo, you can’t compare then because they have different stories that should be appreciated by people.”

Richard Yap adds “We have been gone for a while but I hope people would go back to this time slot, hopefully the same people who watched us will get to see us again. My character is different now, I had to reinvent myself to be this character, I have long lines and I should have asked something like a man of few words like Robin.”

Robin says “To belong here is really but an honor for me, I am a fan of their show in the past and now I’m with them in the series. ABSCBN was a bit behind schedule and our schedules got mixed up between this and a movie we tried to make in between. They are bringing in a show about love, so it’s light and very Filipino. It was just a matter of timing I guess. My two movies were postponed (by Vidanes) and we did this instead. I asked ABSCBN to just make my character to be as close as possible with me, they agreed.”

The show also stars Christopher De Leon, Bobot Mortiz, Alma Moreno, Nikki Valdez, Bayani Agbayani, Ryan Bang, Ylona Garcia, Buboy Garrovillo, Kitkat Favia, and a whole lot more. Again it starts tomorrow January 29 after showtime!

10 Grand Finalists Battle at It's Showtime's "Tawag Ng Tanghalan"

It's been decades since they've held "Tawag ng Tanghalan" (Call of the Stage) in ABSCBN, and when they created it as part of "It's Showtime!" people have been religiously watching it on TV because even if the format is a little old, it still had the grit, the powerful voices and the antics of the hosts which has proven it successful.

During the Thanksgiving Presscon the Director says "We have been doing these changes to make the contest more exciting. As you may have seen in the show, we're getting reactions, left and right, and we're happy about that."

Vice Ganda says "In the longest time we've been together we  already know each others quirps and what you see on cam is just like what it is in real life, we're like a family. Even if I feel offended, I take the high road and just shrug it off. (he kids)"

Ryan Bang adds "They are all special to me, even if I see them everyday I still look forward to hear their jokes."

Amy Perez says "Different personalities, different people, hungry, and I believe the kids I have at home helped me take care of these hosts because I studied them for quite a while before we easily became close. I bonded with them everyday and I'm thankful for that."

Anne Curtis says "All the Grand Finalists will have their contracts with ABSCBN for two years and right now, a lot of them already have their respective managers and gigs to attend to even after the show. The exposure that they get, even if they don't win actually take care of their careers and they get a whole fan base, the support they get from the show doesn't end with the announcement of winners. I think TNT came at the right time because it's like a concert everyday. Seeing them sharing their talent is just insurmountable."

The finalists of Tawag ng Tanghalan thanked everyone especially their supporters, their families for getting them where they are today. They know how much you're excited about the Tawag ng Tangalan Grand Finals which is all happening this week, and will culminate on Saturday. You should watch it!
