GMA Network's "Believe In The Magic of Christmas" Campaign

Had a nice evening with GMA's brightest stars, a few blogger friends and kapuso brigade people over at GMA Network's Believe in the Magic of Christmas Campaign Video launch. When they say magical, they mean it's the first locally produced, first in the country, 3D Animated Christmas campaign that starts Monday November 7 during the airing of 24 Oras, GMA's primetime news program. Their thrust is to air several heartwarming and magical stories so Filipino viewers here and around the globe would be able to believe in the magic of Christmas.

There will be three parts to the story of Magical Crayons, sending the message of getting wishes granted in the eyes of a child. They are doing this fresh from the win of "Alamat" (legend) which just won Best of Festival during the US International Film and Video Festival (USIFVF). The Christmas story project is the brainchild of GMA's Program Support Department under FVP Regie Bautista, AVP Dino Garcia, AVP Hasmin Marable, ACD BJ Camaya, PM Catherine Co, Writer Nicole Castillo, Juan Javier, Reybert Ramos, Laqy Laqueo, and done by GMA's Post Prod FVP Edward Achacoso, VP and Head of Operations Paul Ticzon, and SM for Video Graphics April Canasa - Angeles. The theme songs for this year's Christmas campaign will also be sung by Julie Anne San Jose. The other stories will come out soon so if you have watched the first one, stay tuned for the others on GMA Network. There will also be promotions done kn GMA network's social media properties so make sure you follow them there too!

I can't wait to see what the other stories would be!

Paulo Avelino for The Unmarried Wife

A story of a woman torn between holding on and letting go. Is it hard to forgive the one who hurts you over and over? How is trust gained back? Is it worth it to find someone else to love you? How does a married woman become an unmarried woman? Those are the questions that this movie wants to answer. Star Cinema presents THE UNMARRIED WIFE. This stars Dingdong Dantes, Paulo Avelino and Angelica Panganiban and is directed by Maryo J. Delos Reyes, written by Vanessa Valdez. 

Talking to Paulo Avelino, he says "In a way if you are happy with your wife, why would you look for temptation? It can be the fault of the other party too. How do you free someone from their past? Legalities, there is a saying that time heals but the best thing is to make them feel happy all the time. That perhaps is close to what I probably personally believe in, hopefully in the end, it would just take time. As per Bryan, he sees this broken woman smiling, so there is something wrong with her and that makes Bryan more fascinated and did the best thing to make her happy. I don't think it's a sickness, but you can forgive, Ann also has to understand why he did it again. I wouldn't call it cheating, but I always believe a vow is a vow. It's forever. You see a lot of people getting separated but I believe marriage can work things out to make it exciting. It's repetitive and sometimes it's boring, but you have to make a way to break a routine. In most of my relationships I always held on, even of the girl doesn't want it, even if they let me go."

Here's the rest of the interview on video, enjoy!

The movie will be shown next week November 16, 2016 so if you want drama and conflicts on screen, watch this on theaters nationwide! This is Directed by Maryo J. delos Reyes.

Gillette Mach 3 10vs1 Battles at Eastwood City

Gillette just got us to experience their best shaver yet, the Gillette Mach 3 which they say has the better edge than your current one. The call is, 10 versus 1 which means they promise that this particular model is BETTER than a new disposable even if you have used this 10 times. A tall order but I've seen it, and they tested it on people right there on Eastwood Mall's atrium!

They also battled it out with PBA player Japeth Aguilar and cool video blogger Wil Dasovich on booths that were opened to the public later on in the afternoon. It was cool to see the guys enjoy the basketball games and also the shaving services provided by John Barbers (a local barber establishment). 10 vs 1 might have looked a little too far but these guys all enjoyed the experience of using the Gillette Mach 3, why suffer knicks and bumps in the first place right?

Gillette Mach 3 and it's cartridges are available in all leading grocery stores, pharmacies nationwide!

Dennis Trillo's Greatest Form In New Movie

You love him, I know. With good reason too. Dennis Trillo is not just a great actor, he's one heck of a person. He's starring in this pseudo romantic comedy film called "Bakit Lahat Ng Gwapo Mag Boyfriend?"(Why Do Goodlooking Men Have Boyfriends?) and we got to watch it through a private screening with our friends from Team Dennis Trillo. 

The movie talks about a guy who they thought was gay, where two friends tried to find out in different ways if he really was. Anne Curtis tells the narrative much like Sarah Jessica Parker would do it, sans the New York scene. Some may say she's not, but I think she's funny enough. Her connection to Dennis started when her gay business partner had to arrange a meeting with him, not knowing if it was for a second chance at love or just a coming out story waiting to happen. Gay guy played by Paolo Ballesteros unfortunately didn't get what he wanted and end up doing favors for him more. You have to watch the movie to find out why.

The thing my friends and I noticed on this film though is not just the funny scenes, or the story, but probably the finest form of Dennis Trillo ever caught on screen bar none. He worked out and prepared for this role as one of the scenes in the early part of the movie needs it. You must watch it for that alone. 

"Bakit Lahat Ng Gwapo Mag Boyfriend?"(Why Do Goodlooking Men Have Boyfriends?) is still showing on theaters nationwide. The film is Directed by Jun Lana, same guy who did award winning Die Beautiful. Here's a short interview I did with Dennis before the private screening, please enjoy!
