Pauline Mendoza Takes on GMA Primetime Show "Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat"

 

New year, new show, and that means there's room for some new artists on GMA. The show is called "Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat" (I will get everything back!) which is top billed by Pauline Mendoza who's done several shows like Little Nanay, That's My Amboy, Alyas Robin Hood, My Love from the Star, Kambal, Karibal, Cain at Abel, , Love You Two and One of the Baes. Needless to say, she's worked her way up and 2021 is her year, which means you're going to see her star shine even more.

The vibe I got from this blogcon was so nice, the whole cast became extremely close during the locked in taping and when they did meet again during our press conference, the jokes were thrown from all directions. The experience of shooting during the pandemic had them be together with other artists as room mates, so even after the long day, they got to eat, tell stories and talk about how their day went.

As you can see, there's no shortchanging in the looks department as artists like Therese Malvar (who plays Lala), Kristoffer Martin (who plays Joel Espejo), Manolo Pedrosa (who is Justin Roxas) and Dave Bornea (who plays Randall Madrigal) will also be in the show. They will be involved in Pauline's character Iris as what she believes was a perfect and contented life with her family, suddenly would fall into shambles as Carmina Villaroel, Tanya Garcia, John Estrada will put their past troubles on the shoulders of their daughters. Watch out for the character of Liezel Lopez named Trina Espejo because she'll be the one you'll despise in this show.

 Here's our short chat with them a few days ago. You'll love "Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat!"

 

 Show starts February 22 and will air weekdays. It can be watched on GMA Pinoy TV too if you're not in the Philippines, so please ask your cable provider.

 

The Cast of GMA's "Hahamakin Ang Lahat" Facebook Live Sessions

GMA is starting a new afternoon header called "Hahamakin ang Lahat" (means renouncing everything just to please you) starring Kristoffer Martin (who's hunkier now), Joyce Ching (yes they're exe's in good terms), Thea Tolentino (premier villain), Renz Valerio (who promises to do mature things in this soap), and newcomer Bruno Gabriel (a very tall guy with good looks) and a couple more people to complete the cast. 

Now I wasn't prepared to actually see what was going to happen to the Facebook Live Q&A because honestly this is my first time to see them in this setup. I was expecting it to be a little more on the interactive side and I think they even gave more than that. The greeting alone was shocking because they said "Hi and Hello" like it's the 4th of July. 

This is my first time to see Bruno Gabriel and if my hunch is right, he probably is a ramp model. His built, very muscular body, would probably pass off as very athletic. He plays football, tennis, and just learned that he's the son of former actress Lani Lobangco. Albeit a bit quiet during the event, he comes off very eloquent when he talks, he got teased about that because it looked like he prepared a lot about what he was going to say in that live stream. I think the show had a different working title previously but he says he's excited to be part of this show. He's not nervous anymore because he got a lot of help from his co-actors. I think they're probably trying to pair him with Thea Tolentino in the show, but we have yet to find out how that would turn out.

She's lovely, a bit thinner than the last time I saw her and she's raring to challenge the KrisJoy pairing on this show. She's one of GMA's believable anti heroes, and she's done a remarkable job in her past shows. Now that she's in "Hahamakin Ang Lahat!" she plans to attack the character differently as she's not directly going to be evil. I got the sense that you might be rooting for her as well as she tries to be in the way of KrisJoy in this soap. We will find out on their premier this afternoon. I still owe her a Strawberry Shortcake because when I went to Trinoma that morning Papermoon didn't have one yet on the shelves and said to go back at 4pm, long story! But I'm so glad she's still here, remember the long running Half Sisters? Ah, you should expect more!

Joyce is very versatile. She could play possum one day and a monster the next. She's very bubbly, and Kristoffer and her rapport is just contagious! They're like an automatic tag team when playing around, they even finish each other's sentences. It would be easy to find them sweet on this show because I think they are in real life. If I didn't know Kristoffer's gf I would've believed they're still together. I'm sure you'll get along with how she'll portray her role this time as the romance evolved between her character and Kris'.

Kristoffer bulked up a bit, probably stemmed from working out a lot these past few months. He's a dynamite ready to explode when you put him in a group. He was drawing punchlines left and right, hugot's even. But this show will probably showcase his knack for drama, he's always been good in that department and this show would probably prove to be another challenge to see if KrisJoy still have what it takes to be a love team. I'm a fan of these two!

Taller, feistier, Renz Valerio was also trying to fool around with the cast that afternoon. He's not that shy anymore and he exudes good manners even if he's trying to be naughty. He's a really good example for teens now trying to phase in the more mature roles like in this soap. They were joking about him drinking and stuff, you should have been there live. His adoring fans can't wait to see him, they were the most vocal that afternoon and he's pretty thankful for that.  Watch his character become involved with the lovers, the other people in the show because he's someone to watch out for.

I hope you are all enjoying the show right now. Here's a rerun of thay Facebook Q&A shot from my camera. Enjoy!

A Touching Birthday with Kristofer Martin

 

It's been a few days since this happened. Kristofer Martin, star of GMA shows such as Endless Love, Tween Hearts, Munting Heredera, Pahiram ng Sandali, Kakambal ni Eliana, Kahit Nasaan Ka Man and Sunday All Stars just turned 20. He hasn't actually made any arrangements and was already on a grumpy mode because he thought nobody remembered it was his birthday. His handler, his Mom and Dad went with him to a contract signing because they told him someone was interested to get him as endorser. With that in mind, he was already having resentments because he's got no party happening that day, no simple dinner, no gifts, no people. Then when he got to Centerstage, he got surprised big time by GMA Artist Center!

 

Kristofer Martin and Tess Bomb

Kristofer was so happy to see some of his closest fans in attendance. Tess Bomb hosted the show and the crowd had fun with her antics. She teased Kristofer and played with his fans too. Then while the program was running, they asked Kristofer to sing on stage. Since Centerstage is a place for Karaoke, they had all the newest tunes and everyone could pick a song and sing in front of the stage just for kicks. Kristofer made sure his fans were kept happy too by giving away stuff from his sponsors Unisilver Time, Hammerhead, YSA Botanica, Meister Watch (who gave him a brand new spanking watch!) and Candy Club. Fans were there since afternoon and was part of the surprise, Kristofer saw how much they loved him so he did sing a couple of songs, but in the middle of that, someone arrived in the venue.

They went wild when she came in, yes it's Joyce Ching! I think they still look good together and Kristofer almost burst into tears when she surprised him. Joyce actually came from shooting and she didn't have sleep yet but she wanted to be here on Kristofer's special day. I don't know their relationship status but from the looks of it, they are as good as "in love". Kristofer Martin's Mom was there though and was very protective haha!

Close friend and good looking actor Derrick Monasterio also surprised Kristofer during his birthday celebration and even sang a Josh Groban number. He's a good man, good actor and I hope he gets better at it. He deserves to have a lead role in his own soap soon. He wished Kristofer to have a break from his busy schedule and perhaps go out with the guys. His best friends were there anyway, and I think they did really go out that evening.

Now these guys were just the tip of the iceberg, because he had more surprises after these celebrities that evening.

Kristofer's fans went up on stage and put him in the center. They began singing a song for him which he really appreciated. He liked it so much he began balling, he was really touched by the gesture and the love these guys and gals gave him.

Then after that, Kristofer's Mom and Dad gave their message. Kristofer started balling and cried as his Mom and Dad thanked him. Dad also said that even if he's not around, he should always follow Mom's advice and I think he took it to heart. His folks also reminded him that there are a lot of people who believe and love him so he better not disappoint.

Then I saw a lot of people crying. The fact is, this guy is just starting but he's felt really loved during this day. Tess Bomb told me that among the events we've been in, she says this one has got a lot of heart in it. I couldn't agree with her more because Kristofer has been working so hard and this was some sort of GMA Artist Center saying "Thank You" to him too. He was surprised they organized something this big, in some way I hope he felt special.... because he is after all a prized young talent in this station.

I heard he's going to be in a new program called Healing Hearts next year, so that's something you should watch out for. He's going to be together with Joyce Ching on that too so if you like the pair, that's even more reason to love them. Happy happy birthday Tun! Don't doubt that you are loved okay? Don't cry so I won't post photos like that next time haha! Sorry had to! :) Happy birthday man!

Thanks to GMA Artist Center for having us during this event!
