Cuddle Weather Premiere + Red Carpet Shots

September 13 as part of Pista Ng Pelikulang Pilipino (a Filipino Film Festival) will be fun as there will be a ton of whimsical entries, one of which is Cuddle Weather. It starts Sue Ramirez and Raymond Bagatsing, bringing to life the story of Adela Johnson and Ram, two adult workers whose life intertwine. Their celebrity friends came in throngs to support the film and they didn't disappoint as we all enjoyed this R-13 flick.

The film was funny, but concentrated on the realities of a worker involved in this industry. Their humor, is current and relatable. Ram (RK) is a sweetheart, as innately innocent he may be, he's got his own knack in caring for Adela Johnson. There's also that part where he cares for his family, sans this being a forsaken kind of work, it is lucrative and may add to their goals. There is also some parts of the film discussing the relationships and dynamics of a broken family. The film also involves a lot of learnings about the birds and the bees, how to safely do it and how to be responsible of yourselves. 

This may be an entry to the PPP but it's more of a romcom, in a different situation, in a different way of telling it. This isn't a drama piece, nor is it award piece, but given its merits, people could learn a lot, feel a bit of kilig, none of those adult innuendos either. You'll see some of that but it's not the whole story. 

It just feels good to watch. Make sure you do when it shows in 160 theaters nationwide!

Angel Guardian outs DIKO Single Under GMA Records

Mesmerized by her voice, this gorgeous lady named Angel Guardian gave us her brand of music. Honestly, I find it so good as a soundtrack for a youth oriented show. Although it talks of love and relationships, it could pass for other things aside from that, a song of love and hope. She is very talented, appearing in several commercials (including an ice cream brand still airing now), she’s also doing several shows, TV guestings and now a single out from GMA Records.

Angel Guardian sang "Diko" and she shares “I was pressured to make this but when I did it was a chance to be in the music industry and people said it was nice, I became more confident when it was getting attention. I haven’t had voice lessons, I didn’t know a specific style but I just sing when I can. I am planning to improve on it because it is one of my passions. It gives me a different feeling, I also am trying to write new ones and I am getting into the groove. I like Julie Anne, if ever I had the chance I’d love to work with her. I don’t know about Diko that much but I just related it to a situation that I could connect with. It’s about a girl trying to fall inlove with a guy, but it ended up that he told her about another girl he’s falling in love with, it’s a bit hurtful. It was a composed song in the banks of GMA and among the five, I chose two that I felt was in tune with who I am now, to be in the moment. I have already recorded the second single and I am excited about that too, but for the meantime, I hope people would enjoy this. Also, I sing a lot of genres and I can’t pinpoint a particular one which I could only sing. This one is very youthful, very up to date, I love how it sounded so we are releasing this today. For the music video, we will be making one soon. I hope people get to appreciate the song on streaming platforms and also the one we are making soon!”

It was her birthday too!

Make sure you search, stream and download it off digital stores because she deserves this break, she’s very good actually. This is again under GMA Records.

Princess Velasco Signs with GMA Records

Sat down with Acoustic Princess Princess Velasco who just signed up with an exclusive contract with GMA Records. She used to be from the other channel appearing in their noontime weekend show but concentrated more in gigs and appearances elsewhere after they got reformatted. Princess Velasco now has a family, but the singing bug bit her for a long time and as they say, her voice just gets better with age. We asked how she is now and she gamely answered questions for us.

Princess says “I see them in shows and appear in GMA, I envied them and hope I would be visible in GMA programs soon. It was 6 years in ASAP Sessionisras, but we have always been part of each other’s lives. I thought initially they were showbiz friends but they are now lifelong ones because we are each other’s kids ninongs and ninangs. I choose songs that I go through with, not just love but everyday struggles. My official music video will be up at 3pm and you’ll see Norman, the Aeta who graduated in UP. I am sure there will be a lot of people who will relate with it. I am planning to have a very intimate show for my birthday this year, perhaps for charity. Of course acoustic, something fun. Konti Na Lang is for those who are tired, a song of hope, to take your journey one day at a time. To wake up, do your thing, do your job. Maybe soon I will be able to work with Julie Anne San Jose, hopefully I will meet her and work with her soon. I want to also work with Christian Bautista, Ruru Madrid, Rita and Ken, I like the and how hey use their voice. I want the song to also be part of a series, maybe for news and public affairs, it fits the ofw audience. When I gave birth, my voice became more round, my range became higher. My singing career wasn’t really something I was looking for, I was just fortunate things fell into place. I went through issues in the past, push your self and get up, do whatever you want with your life. What you think of others might not be as worse as you may think it is. You have to also be careful these days, even if it is hard, I would want to mentor people rather than judge them. For noe it is a single but probably, we will completing a compilation of more songs, hopefully soon!”

Princess has her single Konti Na Lang out in digital stores, so go stream or download them off Spotify if you love her type of music. I used to play her CD’s nonstop in our family car because she’s soothing, gets less stressed when driving. Happy to see she’s doing more music, hope to see her on stage very soon!

Alden Richards for The Gift

This will show on September 16, a few of you have it already tweeted I’m sure.

Alden says “This is the first time I am portraying a blind character. Jo Berry will play my Mom and the fear here is not doing other characters you could explore with. My grandparents are my inspiration especially in my life. This story affected me so much because the story is hopeful, regardless of circumstances.”

We saw the first few episodes, much like a long trailer. They took time establishing the characters back story, why he ended up with his Mom and the whole tragedy that happened with his life. Add to that the fun things he’ll do with his love life, oh yeah he’s going to have that happen a few days. Until something abrupt happens. It will change his life... and destiny.

The cast includes Jo Berry, Elizabeth Oropesa, Jean Garcia, TJ Trinidad, Mikee Quintos, Mikoy Morales, Martin Del Rosario, Christian Vasquez, Betong Sumaya, Rochelle Pangilinan, Tetay, Luz Valdez, Victor Anastacio, Isabelle Ortega, and Thia Thomalia.

Check out our coverage here from the September reveal last night!

Make sure you stay tuned on GMA this September 16, you wouldn’t want to miss Alden of course!
