Ella Cruz and Donnalyn Bartolome for CRY NO FEAR

It looks like Viva Films is changing your viewing habit as they take on a suspense-horror flick set to be shown on the silverscreen this June 20. Albeit a little early for Halloween, Director Richard Somes think this would be a good time to tease the Filipino viewing public with a scare, for millennials, starring millennials.

Donnalyn Bartolome

The story is probably apt for ages 13 and up, as it involves sibling rivalry, a disfunctional family, crime, a lot of running, blood and even death. The two have already worked in TV stints but felt this time, this has already made them even closer. Donnalyn plays KC and Ella Cruz plays Wendy. Coming from different mothers and the same father, it has always been difficult to make amends with the other sibling. "We are not just sisters, but half sisters. I was the princess of my Dad and really wanted to get rid of her. I learned a lot from Direk, I watched a lot of his films and I always wished for this to happen. I knew it was going to be hard but I had to do it, even almost got drowned."

Ella Cruz

Ella Cruz adds "I only talk to dogs, VLOG on my spare time as I don't really talk to people. We may be rivals in the beginning, but later on find how we all come together and become the sisters we're supposed to be. I have already worked with Direk when I was in GMA, when we reconnected it was like we just left off where we were. I love how he shoots systematically, he does the cameras not just in one room but the whole house in some instances."

I didn't know Viva's artists but when I discussed about this project to Viva they introduced the ones who would fit the role, Ella and Donnalyn looked perfect for it and it matched my script well. This would need work, as it is a horror film. They have raw talent, fragile, so it is exciting how we did the workshops because as soon as they did that, I was amazed. Ella was like fire, Donnalyn was emotional, they blew me away. We shot some of the days under the rain, as actresses, we saw how they were driven. This was a different process, with an early call time and late packup, but they go to set with excitement and eagerness as they did KC and Wendy. I just followed how they executed, it did set the tone for the film and got other artists too because they were willing to do it. They did the stunts, even if I didn't want them to do it, so they learned while in fight scenes."

Watch it on June 20! Remember, it can happen to anyone!

World Digestive Health Day on May 29th

Looks like our friends from world renowned brands Essentiale Forte P and Dulcolax are working together for a campaign that aims to highlight digestive health called World Digestive Health Day on June 29, 2018.

The goal is to make your digestive systems happy and healthy, so they’re taking out their thinking hats so they could let you know how to acheive these two with just the simple things you can do for yourself, your friends and family.

First off, Junk the Junk and avoid processed foods. Go for gold and consume those with probiotics, and those high in fiber so you get to be clean inside. Avoid having unnecessary antibiotics, as it also kills the good bacteria. Keep your liver in check and have good food less un fats, get Essentiale Forte P so you get Phospholipids which is good for the liver. Consult your doctor to know more about probiotics, it is essential you have the good ones in your digestive tract. Regularly have water and laxatives, Dulcolax might be a good idea. Get enough sleep and less stress, it would make you live longer, healthier too.

KZ Tandingan does SUPREME at the MOA Arena

She has just recently made us proud during her stint at China’s biggest contest SINGER 2018 and now is dubbed as Asia’s Supreme KZ Tandingan. The soul authority is now going to have her major concert this coning June 22, that’s a Friday at the MOA Arena in Pasay City.

KZ knows she has already penetrated the Chinese market and she is hopeful to also release a couple of singles/ one album for that market. They are in talks with Star Records to make this a reality. I also asked her about the prize she won in some of the games she did during Singer 2018, she thought she won a trip to New Zealand but it seems she heard wrong and the trip she won was only for a place that looks like New Zealand in China, she thinks she won't have time to actually get that because she initially had planned to take her folks to New Zealand. She needs to finish this concert and a couple of commitments this year, after that it'll be good.

She’s got big dreams, and with her great representation last month, she’s going to bring it all together with her friends Iñigo Pascual, Gloc 9, Moira Dela Torre, love of her life TJ Monterde, Kyla, Jason Dy and Daryl Ong. So expect to be wowed with some of the best in the industry and more surprise guests (ahh there’s more indeed!).

This is produced by Cornerstone Concerts (her management), Star Events, and will be directed by Mr. M himself. If you want to get tickets, you can get it through SM Tickets 470 22 22.

See why she’s called Asia’s Soul Supreme!
