Galema: Anak Ni Zuma's Finale on March 28!

We attended the Finale press conference of Galema: Anak Ni Zuma a few days ago and they just announced that the series will end on the 28th of this month to give way to new shows in ABSCBN. It's bittersweet says Director Wenn Deramas because it's been a long time that I have forged friendships again in a show. The cast is tight knit, very close, like family because the experience working almost every day for the past few months needed that relationship for the story to work. Andi Eigenmann says she will miss the cast and is very thankful that the management continue to trust her as she'll be in Dyesebel too right after this.

The last time I saw Sheryl Cruz in the flesh was in our house in the late 80's since her Dad and my Uncle were good friends. Long story. She'll be playing a very big role in the last few days of GALEMA. You all thought she's going to be that kind mother everyone wants, but do you remember Zuma transferring a lot of venom on her? That and the amulet will make her transform into a half snake half human anti hero in this series. Galema will surely have a hard time because in the end, she'll still have her parents as her enemies. We all know what happened to Zuma the last time when she decapitated him just so he stops his rampage.

Matteo Gudicceli's character had so much transformation in the series. Even Galema doesn't know if he loves the new snake daughter he has in the show. She gave birth to twins but one of them is a real deal snake which Matteo's character had a hard time accepting. Later on, he had trouble in the story because even Galema doubts his loyalty. 

When asked about them having a real romantic involvement in real life, Andi says that would never ever happen because they've known each other for a long time. Neither one said they'd be interested with each other because they are extremely platonic. They treat each other as brother and sister. That's how close they are but it would never ever be romantic. Matteo adds that he'd probably be loving Sarah only and fight for that. Well categorically it was Director Wenn who said that during a consultation, he's the in house therapist they say. Andi also said that Ejercito's really special, whatever they have going on is tops for her.

Then we had a special guest come in during the press conference. You won't believe it but those muscles are true! Ladies and gentlemen, Derrick Hubalde aka Zuma!

He's indestructible and can practically resurrect if you try and kill him. He didn't talk that much in the press conference because the make up and costume took hours to put on. It was awesome seeing him in the green... in the flesh I mean.

Make sure you watch the show at 4:15 PM in the afternoon at ABSCBN and TFC elsewhere in the world. Watch how she'll have the last battle with Sheryl Cruz in the last few days of Galema: Anak Ni Zuma!

Maja Salvador and Matteo Gudiccelli for My Cactus Heart

When you want someone in your life and you find him/her, you have to go all the way to get his/her heart... but what if you don't know that you are afraid to do so?! What if you were the last one to know you couldn't love because you fear the things that come with it? That's exactly what Maja Salvador and Matteo Gudiccelli found out in this movie promptly called My Cactus Heart. I was so excited to be invited for their blog conference!

Famed Director Enrico Santos, Maja Salvador and Matteo Gudiccelli. It was nice to see Maja again and I was giddy to ask them about their roles in the movie. I've met her during the Thelma blog con, this is the first time for Direk and Matteo... they found the ambiance so different from regular press cons and I like that fact.

Direk Enrico Santos never found it hard to get some sort of chemistry between Maja and Matteo. He remembers how everything started between him and her since when they filmed this over a span of 1 year, everything was different. Matteo has abs, Maja was a little off putting with his leading man... but true love prevailed with these two... now they are the sweethearts everyone has also fallen inlove with. Direk also says Xian's role is the perfect counter role to Matteo who plays innocently in his starring role. Classy and proper versus Innocent and sweet, he wants to show this particular choice for Maja's character... and how she in the end finds who she really loves!

It wasn't so hard for these two to get into character because they say there are similarities in real life. It wasn't too hard to shy away from their roles in My Binondo Girl since the span of shooting this film was longer. The characters they portrayed is from another world but the interesting twists and turns how she believes in love again was something to look forward to.

I love every instance Maja answers some intriguing questions about Matteo. It always feels like they are so inlove with each other. Blogcon pa lang kinikilig na, what more the movie! Matteo had a blast shooting this film, he found each moment funny because Maja was eagerly impressing him while shooting. That includes a scene while rappelling and getting her hands hurt in the process. All for Matteo hehe.

They are both quite nervous about this film and how it would fare in the market. They trust Star Cinema's decision because they know that Maja and Matteo are ready. I wouldn't say otherwise. If you want to see their love story, you should definitely watch this film because aside from the movie itself... you get to see how their real life relationship bloomed into something so NICE!

If you want to learn to love again, learn that love can be a beautiful thing and you don't have to be afraid then watch this movie. Matinik umibig so they say in relationships but there is something to look forward to. To find someone that was intended for you is the greatest thing that you will ever see, hear or learn in this world. This film will be out on January 25, so please do yourself a favor and watch it!

P.S. Thanks for noticing me from the crowd Matteo! I have nothing to say but thanks! :)
