Hawak Kamay Grand Press Conference

Sunday, July 27, 2014



We met a very happy Piolo Pascual during the grand press conference of his new project called Hawak Kamay. You must have already seen it since it's been shown since Monday and I bet you already are hooked to the story. He's a struggling singer and performer that is met by a need for him to foster a couple of kids during this time. He signed up as their guardian initially as a requirement to adopt them which his sister and her husband made arrangements for but when they both died on a car accident, they were left with him... without a choice.


The kids were played by child superstars Zaijian Jaranilla who plays Raymond aka "Emong", Xyriel Manabat who plays Sandara or "Dara", Andrea Brillantes who plays the role of Lorry, and the cute Yesha Camile who plays Bituin or "Ningning" in the story. When asked about the experience, they only said good things about him and Zaijan mentions how generous Piolo Pascual is, even giving him a watch on their first few taping days.


Axel Torres, Sofia Andres, Ryan Bang and Victor Neri are also part of the cast. Axel just came out of the PBB house and it's a great deal for him to have projects this big left and right. He's thankful of the care and breaks that ABSCBN is giving him. Ryan Bang was hilarious in the event, we couldn't stop laughing at his antics even if he didn't do it on purpose. Victor Neri has been gone for quite a while and this seems to be his come back vehicle, not bad that it's a great series. I hear he's going to have some more now that he's back in the grind.


Iza Calzado and Nikki Gil were so gorgeous during the press conference. Iza plays the role of an Attorney sought to fix the adoption papers and custody of the kids. She was a little skeptical with Piolo's ability to take care of them but I think there seems to be some sort of romantic angle brewing there somewhere. The conflict is, Nikki Gil plays Piolo's long time girlfriend who decided to go and work on a cruise ship because they didn't know how to make ends meet. It was a little painful for both of them, but will this be something that would be complicated once the Attorney gets involved with Piolo in the show?


Oh and if you're asking why things are so complicated, if I'm not mistaken... they have about 7 Directors working on this project but the one on paper is only 3 namely Jerry Lopez Sineneng, Mae Czarina Cruz-Alviar, Rechie del Carmen. They'll conquer ratings for sure. Though it is going to be hard to also beat the other program from GMA which is Nino, Piolo doesn't  mind at all and he doesn't even think about it because all he wants to do is make sure he does a good job with this show.
 

Now that you've watched the first few episodes, what do you think about Hawak Kamay and the cast?

Piolo Pascual and The "Hawak Kamay" Family Day

Friday, June 27, 2014


The cast of Hawak Kamay starring Piolo Pascual, Iza Calzado and Nikki Gil

It was a hot afternoon but that didn't stop us from going to the family day of the "Hawak Kamay" (Holding Hands) cast at Hospicio De San Jose in Manila. It's a shelter for abandoned kids and elderly people managed by the Sisters of Charity, bless them for doing this! It was simple and well attended. Tons of sponsors were also there showing support for the cause and the artists of the show. The show stars Piolo Pascual who will play the role of Gin, a frustrated singer, a drunkard and a man with no direction... who later finds himself taking care of orphaned kids. Iza Calzado plays Atty. Bianca Magpantay, Nikki Gil will be Meann who will play as the two ladies in his life.The kid superstars Zaijian Jaranilla will play Emong, Xyriel Manabat plays Dara, Andrea Brillantes plays Lorrie and Yesha Camile (of famed Promil Ishine) will play Ningning.


Andrea Brillantes danced a bit for the kids, Xyriel Manabat sang and danced for the lolas and Zaijian Jaranilla sang and danced with the others to start off the program. You can really see that the orphans and elderly women enjoyed it because their smiles were priceless.


Piolo Pascual went in front and sang with the kids, I could hear the elderly women and shelter staff giggle a bit when he did that. 

Axel Torres was there too, he'll be playing the role of Benj. He just came out of the Big Brother house and he's already got a project this big! He was really happy. I congratulated him when he was about to go out of the venue and he said a simple "Thanks!".. I like it when they do that.


Here's the trailer:



It will show this July 7th replacing the program Mirabella which will end on the 4th of July. It's a family series that will show a different light on what a family is and how a man will strive to make this work even if he's struggling to make ends meet. So make sure you don't miss it!
