Richard Gomez, Dawn Zulueta and Bea Alonzo for The Love Affair

Saturday, August 08, 2015


The Love Affair doodled by the Star Cinema digital team

We were at The Love Affair blog conference a few days ago to meet Richard Gomez, Ms. Dawn Zulueta and Ms. Bea Alonzo. I know, they're really big stars, and seeing them on the big screen is very close to impossible because they've all got their careers going on. Much of you are probably like me, big fans of the Richard and Dawn pairing. Even though they didn't end up together, they've got really good family lives and a blooming friendship. Bea Alonzo looked so gorgeous that afternoon.... and one look at her just makes you feel life is unfair, like when it rained gorgeousness all over the world, she must have had her umbrella broken. Anyway, I was trying not to become a fan and feel particularly small amongst these great actors. We asked them right away about this project and what they think about their characters disposition; about love and relationships. Here's what they have to say!

Ms. Dawn Zulueta says "How can you forget the love? You also remember how much you've forget. I don't remember but we've been comfortable ever since. I learned how important it is to show appreciation to your partner. It's been years, you work on it and show appreciation, if your partner doesn't see that, you'll have cracks. In forgiving, I need to see proof. I need to forgive but it's not cheap, I need to really see that person is ready and capable to receive that, you also have to return the trust and that part is hard."  







Richard gets in and says this after being asked about him working with Ms. Dawn Zulueta after so long "After splitting up, we had a project like a soap, we've been comfortable with sensitive scenes and we've remained good friends and find ourselves in the same circle. Yes, we did get hurt but we started greeting each other, touching her a few times and we're good now. Love is very powerful, I learned that in this movie. There are a lot of scenes that I dubbed and felt some of it happened to me. I get really affected... and I sometimes cried while doing it. 

I can forgive, I can do that, what's important is the process, you need to do it otherwise you'll carry the pain for years and it would be difficult for you to move on. If you can't forgive, you just have to forget."













"It's your responsibility to be happy for yourself, you're not gonna get that from others. Watch out for my scene with Al Tantay because I don't do that in real life, sharing your life with your parents is hard, and I tried to do that with my Mom. I learned that it's possible. I have a hard time saying sorry if I don't mean it, especially with friends but thank God that hasn't happened yet. I don't know, because it's not easy." says beautiful Bea Alonzo. It was in this part where I felt she was talking to me, I know... I know... I can relate and that's why this movie is worth watching this coming week.




I almost fainted when she looked at me! LOL


Direk on this bit says he was the other woman of Richard Gomez! They were absolutely funny during the blogcon!


There were some instances where Bea was teasing Richard about Dawn, she also says she's a fan too!





"To see the world from his eyes, I have people to talk to, I didn't invent the feelings and it's all real. Towards the end, we had to talk about what to do that would show Bea talking to different people, eventually it's the father and we had to find out what they'll say at that particular time." says writer Vanessa Valdez. 

"It's a process, the rushes completely tell a different story and the emotions, they give it and make the scene work. You tweak it a little and you'll get to watch that in the film." Direk Noel says as he promises this when you see it on theaters August 12, 2015.






This film has so many issues that you, your friends or family can relate to because they've written and executed it with realness in mind. The conversations are also said in a manner where ordinary people like you and me would understand easily, much like in the real world. There hasn't been that much talk of women going the other way in cinema and this is definitely a fresh take on that. Vince, Patricia and Adie will take you to a place where not much people talk about, or do most of the time. If you were in the shoes of Vince, would you forgive and give another chance? Or would you pick up the pieces of your broken self with someone else? That's the question they want to answer when this goes on theaters this August 12 in cinemas nationwide! Oh and they told me that the trailer doesn't say much of the story, they have different angles why this situation came about and if you want to know why, you've got to watch it they say!

Let The Love Begin Cast Says Thank You!

Friday, August 07, 2015



It was so nice to see the cast of Let the Love Begin all smiles during the "Last Hurrah" party that GMA Social Media put up a few days ago. Present during that afternoon were Ms. Rita Avila, Ms. Donita Rose, Sancho Delas Alas, Phytos Ramires, Abel Estanislao, including sweethearts Gabbi Garcia and Ruru Madrid. It was a time to say Thank You to all the countless people who have made their show successful these past few months. Now that the show is ending, they don't want to forget all the support that you've given them so they called in media and online friends to a party in Alab Restaurant in Scout Rallos in Quezon City.



During this time, they let loose, they reminisced about the days they worked so hard during the making of this program. Gabbi and Ruru started by singing for us in front and says making their first debut in Prime Time was a thing they would never forget. Even off cam, I adore Gabbie for her very pleasing personality. She makes you feel welcome, talk to you and happen to do it like you've never lost touch. Ruru on the other hand may have quirks, but that's exactly what makes him cute if you ask the fans who have fallen in love with his character Erick in the show. Gabbi who plays Pia, Erick's childhood sweetheart was trying to take photos of the layout they had in the venue but Ruru went in and covered the view which made her a little irritated during this bit above. In just a few minutes, they were all so sweet and cuddly, that's how close they have become and what I've heard from them is that, they'll truly miss this show.

  







Abel Estanislao grabbed the microphone and began serenading everyone while they were preparing some games for the bloggers. Abel, Phytos and Sancho were super involved when they started some acting contests using the scenes from their show. Let's just say they enjoyed it so much that I couldn't even show some of the photos during that part of the show because it's not for general viewing. I laud these guys for letting the press and other bloggers have fun with them even just for a while.


Ms. Donita Rose couldn't stop laughing when the scenes included her and had the bloggers portray it. Remember the part where she got pregnant? Oh it just became hilarious when the bloggers had a hand in it. She also said a few words towards the end of the program and said "I hope people would stop bashing me because I really didn't know that in the beginning when you portray the role of a contra bida they would really tell you some nasty things! It's just a role po so please don't be mad at me!" and then she laughed. She also thanked everyone in the production and her co actors Ms. Rita Avila by the way was also proud about her book The Invisible Wings because it just got nominated in the Jaime Cardinal Sin Catholic Book Awards, we hope she wins! 





Gabbi Garcia and Ruru Madrid then sang the theme song of the show. As you can see, they didn't stop teasing each other, especially when people were egging them to kiss after the song haha! They were so cute, I could have mistaken them to be officially real boyfriend and girlfriend. They're still concentrating on work though, which would be good for them in the long run. Still, you can't help buy gush on these two!

Oh and at the end of the program, they awarded the cast with some titles they earned during the making of LTLB!



























They also thanked their fans, supporters who never missed a day of their show and for sternly supporting them during the show's existence. Today is their last day so if you're at home or have TV, please do watch their last episode and see if Erick and Pia end up together, like happily ever after!

Congratulations Gab and Ruru! Also to everyone who made the series what it is today. You have taught valuable lessons to Pinoys, congratulations on your show as you air your last hurrah!
