RAFFY TULFO Starts WANTED: Ang Serye on TV5

 

 

 

Looks like they are amping up content creation over at TV5 and they're bringing in the big guns as WANTED sa Radyo now becomes a series with their new show WANTED: Ang Serye (Mga Kwento sa Likod ng Reklamo) starring the man himself Idol Raffy Tulfo. This will come out 9-10pm on Saturdays on TV5 and it's associated channels soon. The show will feature several of their actual cases, based on real life which have been shown on the hit news show.

 

 

The first few episodes include Epi Quizon, Ritz Azul, Adrian Alandy whom we also interviewed during the mediacon today. The first one talks about a transgender and a lesbian having an abusive relationship, the other one is about fidelity and all the complexities that come with it. This unfortunately will not be shown on YouTube yet but perhaps soon, as we were told, they will still be looking into it. Here's a short interview we had with them this afternoon.

 

Sir Raffy was asked about why he was the number one person to look for when they have issues, he says "Maybe because I am able to solve their problems, so when they need help they actually look for me first." Here's a little talk from the man himself.

Raffy also promised that in every episode that you will see in this show, you'll learn valuable lessons from the lives of ordinary Filipinos who have been on the show. Not only that, you'll also see some of the really nice solutions to domestic problems that are all around the country. You'll also get to see how they end up, some really reconciled... but you would have to see that on the show. Make sure you do this Saturday at 9PM on the Kapatid Network, TV5!

Vhong Navarro Stars in Sequel MANG KEPWENG: Ang Lihim ng Bandanang Itim

 

This is produced by CINE KO Productions and Star Cinema. On Christmas day, we'll see a dose of comedy courtesy of this film derived from the 80's iconic film of the same name, Mang Kepweng. This generation has a different spin on it so they properly called it Mang Kepweng: Ang Lihim ng Bandanang Itim.


Tickets are now on sale via upstream.ph. We talked to the stars this evening and they had a lot of stories. Here's some of their statements during the zoom conference.


Fumiya says "We are together here, my best friend is Yamyam and it's a complicated relationship. We are dwarfs but we don't get along that well."

Yamyam says "My role here is a dwarf that could give Mang Kepweng the direction so he can get the magic for his bandana. My grandpa was actually an albularyo, he cured me with a lot of rare leaves and roots, he used a few on me with smoke, he told me I was really punished by spirits hence a lot of bumps on my skin appeared. I got smoked, I got prayed upon and got cured by my grandfather, I believe 50%, I don't know for sure but I think it was true."

Ritz Azul was a bit perky during the call and says "I am the queen of Engkadya and I'll be helping Mang Kepweng fight Maximus on his journey to find magic on his own polkadot bandana. I did experience a lot of albularyos in our province, they did dishes, eggs, they pass on powers to people, there are lots of things that I can explain but they do get cured."

Joross Gamboa plays the villain of the film and he says "I am the enemy here, I have the black bandana and I will make Mang Kepweng's life miserable. This film is for the whole family so make sure you do this Christmas. There are a few comedians that can whip their faces like that, who can make funny faces and comedy out of it, Vhong is qualified to do it."

Ryan Bang joked around and said  "Of all the friends of Mang Kepweng, I am the most good looking... almost 70 percent I will be with him in his adventures. I read the script so many times but when I get to the set I just end up with people who will not go with the script. This is for kids, I hope people will see it because it's fun, it's just that so many things happening here but I don't know what it means. I hope you become happy watching this but if you don't we can't do anything really."

Ms. Jaclyn Jose says "I am the mother of Mang Kepweng here and I have been since the first one, so they have no choice but get me for this second installment. The albularyos of the first Mang Kepweng has been brought to this generation, I watched the original in the cinema, he can play Chiquito really.I love the cinema, I hope we could watch it there instead but I'm not worried, I'm sure it will be back. I want people to forget problems, this film is funny and if you could forget an hour and a half of those problems, I'd be really glad."

Barbie Imperial says "I have a lot of experience being cured by albularyos, in the province we really believe in them and I had to seek their help because I always get sick when I was a kid. I wasn't able to get help from doctors, but when I seeked their help, I got better. In Bicol, I got treatment from them and with that experience, I really did get healed."

Vhong Navarro was so proud of this film and he says "I play MK or Mang Kepweng, he will be continuing with his mission to cure everything. He will need his friends to fight aliens, monsters, without facial mask or shields because this was shot before the pandemic. I am sure though that you will enjoy this film, you just need to look for Mang Kepweng on upstream.ph and pay 250 only to watch it with your family.That's what new technology can do this MMFF 2020 and Christmas. I wanted to really look for the copy of the original Mang Kepweng but the quality of those on digital is just too poor, but I'm glad CineKO agreed to do a part 2 because this was their baby and together with Star Cinema there will be a good comeback. I'm also glad they chose me to play the lead role again, I was chosen because they see Chiquito in me so I reprised the role again. I don't think it's bad to believe in things that could better health with faith and albularyos. We even filmed everything on the actual home of Mang Kepweng during the 80's and that connects the generation. We're both happy and sad because we got in the MMFF 2020 but a little sad about how it's different on how we watch movies without movie houses. It's good though because a lot of people will learn on how to use technology. I haven't really researched about albularyos and just based what I am doing with the character of the late Chiquito, I am privileged to be able to do this as my first film that got a sequel. It's a good feeling because people loved it, the producers believed in me again and I got to work with brilliant writers that made this even better. I want to make sure it would be better than the first one because we'll put a lot of adventures in Mang Kepweng now."


Other stars are also in this film like Lou Veloso, Mariko   Ledesma, Kaladkaren, Patricia Roxas, Ritz Azul, Ion Perez and Benjie Paras. Watch it on Christmas day!

6 Reasons Why You Should Watch The Hopeful Romantic

Had fun watching the movie The Hopeful Romantic by Regal Entertainment. It stars Ritz Azul and Pepe Herrera who did a really good job playing Jess and Veronica, it felt genuine, endearing. Love has definitely a lot to do with this story, when you give your all, when is it okay? When is it called love? 

Here’s some reasons why you should watch the movie:

1. It’s time to prove or unprove if the only virgins left in the world are the UGLY ones.

2. Pepe Herrera is such a great crooner. You’ll melt your knees listening to him sing.

3. The two leads have comedic timing. You’ll never see a use for whitening lotion the same way again.

4. See opulence, lifestyle of the rich and famous. Big things by Hashtag Niko.

5. Lies, deception, you’ll learn where it takes you. You’ll see why you should always be yourself and see why it shouldn’t be something to start a relationship:

6. The movie is fun, there are a ton of funny scenes which are not shown in the trailers.

7. As a bonus, you will learn a lot about how to love, how to face your fears and pray for the film. Hahaha. You’ll see why I said that when you watch this on theaters starting September 12 on theaters nationwide!

Good job on the film Topel Lee!
