KEN CHAN Wishes To Work with JULIE ANNE SAN JOSE and GLAIZA DE CASTRO Soon

Our boy Ken Chan is doing mighty good with his shows and now he's taking his newest single QUARANFLINGS in the promo route. This will be launched in June 12 on AOS, but the track has already been released in social channels and streaming sites so if you're looking for something you could relate to go ahead and listen to it now.

Ken Chan says "We didn't have anything to do but survive during the pandemic, but I think the only person I have had the pleasure of being with during the whole thing was Rita Daniela. For that I am grateful, and yes, there are a lot of people who messaged me but if I've met them, I treat them as friends. During the pandemic, there are a lot of people who have had the experience of having a relationship, and I think they'll be able to relate to Quaranflings. This is a song composed by Lolito Go and produced by Paulo Agudelo under GMA Music."

He adds "I know Rita and I would really have a good following, I am looking forward for more projects with her but there's a good time for that. We both know that we should work with other artists. If I was going to work with other actresses, I wished for Bianca and it came true for Mano Po. Next time, I want to work with some of my closest friends like Julie Anne San Jose or Glaiza De Castro. To clear, I just picked up that quote I tweeted a couple weeks ago on Google, I think I forgive easily." 

Here is Ken's latest single

Here's our blog conference this morning:

With his wish to go back to AOS and soon to work with Julie Anne San Jose or Glaiza De Castro, Ken Chan will surely be a remarkable leading man on GMA and their new shows. Aside from being busy with businesses he's put up in the last few years, he's continuing to make music, to hopefully release more next year or late this year.

Ken Chan's Empire: Opens Second Branch of CAFE CLAUS

Just left Greenhills Promenade while writing this piece as I've attended the launch of CAFE CLAUS at this location, their second one after putting up CAFE CLAUS in Tandang Sora QC. For Ken, this has been a pretty memorable place because his tatay German Moreno aka "Kuya Germs" used to bring him here to unwind and have fun when he was still alive. The new branch has a German Christmas theme as they wanted a different one in every branch they put up, and yes, talks are in the works for putting up about 3 more of these within the year.

 

Their Ensaymada is glistening in gold! Just one of the nice things at Cafe Claus!

Ken and his partners are ecstatic that the first branch is doing well and they've been able to study the market well even if we're still under the pandemic. Food served in this branch still has the classics but will have some special items in the menu that would represent the German them they are executing for the Greenhills branch. We talked to Ken, his partners and chefs about their future plans which seem so exciting especially for those who are in the look for a coffee shop that would make them escape reality while having a cup of joe in their shop (even for just a few hours). Here's what transpired during the launch!

My only question was, is he building his empire? Ken says "I don't know if it's an empire or not, I'm just venturing into businesses that I love, ones that I have passion in and if that means it'll all be successful in the near future, I'd love that!"

In the press conference, they also have confirmed reports about building branches in Eastwood City, Tagaytay City which will also have different themes. So if you're a fan of Ken or just love Christmas, you've got several places to go this year as they expand CAFE CLAUS in Mega Manila. They also have plans to put up one in nearby provinces, pretty soon in Visayas and Mindanao too. I suggest you get the Roast Chicken and Lasagna which is such a hit with regulars at Cafe Claus. They have mean cakes and pastries too that's not too sweet because they do use sugar free options too (perfect for diabetics like me). For those who would want to visit, just go to Greenhills Promenade and find them at the center right at the side of the escalator from the cinemas. Thank you to the super nice people at Cafe Claus Greenhills Promonade, I'll be back there real soon!

Ken Chan and Rita Daniela for One of the Baes

This show will be about our very less recognized seafarers, Ken Chan and Rita Daniela will tell you more about their love story and how it intertwines with the lives of marinos in their hood. Their successful pairing in My Special Tatay will be there, so good news for RitKen fans, and they’ll be adored once again for a different type of friendship, and hopefully love story, when it happens. She’s called Jowalyn, he’s called Grant, one is an owner of a boarding house, the other the son of an owner of the school. They will be going around to show places and make people see how gorgeous dive spots here in the country.

It won’t be easy because they will have anti heroes with EA Guzman, Gelai, Buboy, Joyce Ching in the mix too. Jestoni Alarcon will also be there as Ken’s Dad. Rita says “I think what happened with My Special Tatay was the work of God, it just changed when Bobrey was formed. It’s hard to lead a show and I don’t know what will happen. I got challenged with how colorful her life is, I too am one of the boys and if you think about it you might see how she’ll still be as normal to fall in love. Grant believed in having fairytales, and he wished for his one true love. Roderick Paulate is a hard worker, he sets the mood and even introduced himself when we first met and he’s very excited, passes on his joy to us. You’ll see that on the show.” Ken adds “I hope whatever love they gave for My Special Tatay, it would be the same with One of the Baes. This is a first to tell the story of seamen, you’ll see real training, we got dark because of that. We are so blessed to have great actors in our midst, it made our set a fun one. When we shot our first scene, they saw Boyet and had to fix a lot of things, because he still shows sometimes. I had to ask for help by veteran actors and I am so thankful for them. My Mom made me believe in fairytales, to show the lives of vloggers. I’m also a bit of a nature freak who will choose love or destiny.”

Joyce says “I was telling EA about how he already has a show and the next day I got a call that we are together in this show.”

EA says “Joyce isn’t hard to work with, I saw her post on IG and didn’t know we were together again, in consequently our third show. We will give our best, even more than Dragonlady. I am not a soldier, I am a son of a businessman so it’s a rich guy. I will be here for Jowa and see if I could take her off Ken’s hands.”

James Teng says “We love the show and believe in it so all the training, the look, we kinda sacrificed a lot to do the show. It was so hot there. It wasn’t acting, you can see our skin discoloration and it’s real sweat you’re going to see on screen.

Jestoni adds “The Philippines is nice however there are some places which isn’t quite nice to show on the series, some are really dirty but perhaps this could be a call to clean up our shores a bit. We also have this as an advocacy in our show.”

Now go and watch out for their plug shoot, on 24 oras or Youtube. They’re going to show you a few scenes on their plug which they made quite nicely. This premieres on September 30 on GMA’s primetime slot.
