GMA Outs First Advocaserye “Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka!”

Love is happiness, love is dreamy, but what if you suddenly found out that you have HIV? Will that be the end of your relationship? Will that mean the end of your existence? What would be more painful than having it? What if you didn’t know how you got it? That’s exactly what this show will try to answer. This is “Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka!”

To inspire, to make you understand what an HIV positive person would go through while living with the virus. I think this is but a noble thing to do now that the statistics shows how huge HIV incidents happen in the Philippines. This is what they call an “advocaserye” (a series about an advocacy) and it’s starred by Yasmien Kurdi, Mike Tan, Martin Del Rosario.

Milo Alto Paz the show’s Executive Producer says “It’s not your usual drama, the incidents are high and people should be aware to actually make this successful and we hope you create a lot of noise so people would know more about it.”

Martin del Rosario says “Supporting this advocacy will help a lot of people, and I hope you enjoy watching the show.”

Mike Tan adds “I hope you get something more out of the episode, we hope you can help us spread the word about the show because it’s an advocacy which GMA spearheads. It’s like a documentary and people would want to watch this, it will help them to understand it and know how to help.”

Yasmien Kurdi says “I am so nervous, but excited at the same time for you to see what we’ve done for the past few months. On February 26, please help us through social media and help us make this known through your blogs so people would be able to read about it and watch our show.”

We watched the first episode ahead of everyone this afternoon and it’s quite nice to actually see how it all started. You’ll also get to know how each individual character would get connected, as Mike Tan says fate has a lot to do with how people meet. It’s a very complicated story to tell because the topic alone means you have to explain things. You have to be patient, but be prepared also to get butterflies when Marco and Thea’s love story begins.

Ms. Gina Alajar (Marco’s Mom) and Jackie Rice (Eva is Marco’s Girlfriend) will be making the whole thing miserable. Watch out for instances where they’ll be slapping them around silly... because it will happen and the prejudice against HIV patients is real. Watch out for the show during GMA’s Afternoon Prime starting February 26.

The Millionaires Wife: Mike Tan

I could tell you the names of my friends who would probably faint at the sight of Mike Tan. He's one of GMA's most prized actors, and with good reason. He's got a sculpted physique, he's also donned countless drama projects under his belt and nobody I know questioned how good he is in that department. He plays the role of Ivan Meneses in this series and he doesn't hold back. He's done countless scenes in this show that has been talked about countless times because it's so sexy. Oh yes, there's bed scenes, but I like the one they did in the shower... it was so animalistic! The passion that goes into each scene is evident, you'll be shocked at what will happen when they see each other. I've seen some of the shots during our set visit, and I totally agree you'll love how this will end. 

Here's our interview with the good looking guy on video:

He finds Andrea Torres a lot different from his other leading ladies as she's more of the silent type. She often focuses on the job and gets it done as they do it. They never even talked before they had that iconic kissing scene and just did it so there wouldn't be awkwardness between them. In fact, Mike even felt it was Andrea who took care of him because it's not everyday that you get to do these things. He mentions how professional Andrea is and hope this isn't the last time they'd be able to work together. He wants to do more shows with GMA and I'm sure there will be more opportunities for this great actor.

Thank you Mike for taking time to sit and talk with us! Hope people would get to see the scenes you've done with Sid and Ms. Jacklyn Jose! I know they'll love that! Thank you too to GMA Social Media for hooking us up! Make sure you watch the last episode today on GMA Afternoon Prime!

Mark Herras and Mike Tan Celebrates Birthday with Women in Crisis

Two good looking guys, two very accomplished actors. We were with Mark Herras and Mike Tan a few days ago for a small charity event as they celebrated their birthday with women in crisis at the Kaisahang Buhay Foundation in Quezon City. It's a shelter for women who can't provide themselves a roof over their heads, or support during their pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy in particular is very rampant still and they've got several cases of mothers to be as young as 12. They definitely need help, and with these gorgeous guys giving them entertainment even for a few hours, hopefully they'll forget, or be optimistic that whatever their problems are... they'll all get through it. 

 Mark is still in the series called Dangwa with Janine Gutierrez and Aljur Abrenica. He's portraying the role of Baste who is in love with Janine's character Rosa but couldn't find the courage to tell her. You should definitely watch their show every Saturday. It's aired worldwide in GMA Pinoy TV and will feature small stories in between their story. It's different every week and is something you should look forward to!

We had a chance to also talk to Mike Tan. He was so moved by the stories he heard from the women who were in the center. I could feel he really did get affected as he shared his own story. Growing up in a single parent's house, he was lucky to have been able to get better in life. He has been blessed because he's a good man, he also hoped for these women to stay strong despite of the things they're going through right now. Here's also our interview with Mike on video:

Mike Tan just finished his Aquathlon and done it in great fashion. He won a bronze if I'm not mistaken and for a first timer, isn't that amazing? Make sure you wait for more projects with this looking guy. He's probably going to be in primetime or afternoon prime as always. He's good in every show he's been in and I'm not surprised why he's always been blessed. 

Happy birthday Mark and Mike! It was my birthday too last December 6, being born in the same month as you guys make me proud especially since you're doing more good things. I want to emulate what you guys are doing :)
