Angel Locsin Sets to Return on Primetime TV Series Next Year!

Blessings are pouring in on actress Angel Locsin with the many film projects given to her. The actress however wishes to be back in doing teleseryes.

Her last project was a back-to-back team-up with John Lloyd Cruz in the teleserye “Imortal” and in the film “Unofficially Yours”. This year, she was given two movies to work on – “One More Try”, a film that will join the Manila Film Fest this December and a horror-comedy film that co-stars Vhong Navarro.


According to the actress however, the aspired teleserye won’t arrive this year. “There are plans but it won’t be this year. Most likely next year,” said Angel.

“I really enjoy doing films, but since I’m a breadwinner, I want to be able to save up,” she added. Despite this, the actress is positive that next year is the best time for a teleserye because it would be difficult for her to manage it with her upcoming films.

Meanwhile, contrary to her success in real life, her character, Isabel Padausdos in “TODA Max” will undergo depression for being unemployed for six months. The whole neighborhood will try their best not to make Isabel (Angel) feel useless by not mentioning anything related to being jobless.

Justin’s (Vhong) previous employee Hap wants to go back to work in his carinderia but Justin has already hired Benjo (Benjie Paras) to replace him. Unbeknown to many, Benjo is Hap’s half brother and the two are not in good terms. Their strife will get worse because of the job and will result to a mixed martial arts fight.

How will Isabel move on from her depression? Will the brothers Hap and Benjo ever make peace? Find out this Saturday (September 1) on “TODA Max” after “X Factor Philippines” on ABS-CBN.(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

Protege Andres Vasques Shares His Surprising Feeling on His Two Acting Awards!

He may not be a full-fledged astista yet but Andres Vasquez has already reaped two acting awards from last Sunday's Protege gala night. Andres was one of those few proteges who were awarded for their exemplary performance in last week's acting exercise wherein all the proteges got the chance to act alongside the "Diamond Star" Ms. Maricel Soriano in five short films directed by Cannes Film Festival award-winning director Brillante Mendoza and written by Palanca awardee Floy Quintos.

The 21-year old protege from Metro Manila was awarded as Best Male Protege by Ms. Maricel Soriano and was also chosen by Brillante Mendoza to receive the Breakthrough Performance by an Actor Award.

After the show, Andres was lost for words when he was interviewed backstage about the awards he received.

"Masayang masaya ako kasi actually hindi ko talaga inasahang magkakaroon ako ng award at hindi naman nila sinabi sa amin na meron palang awarding na mangyayari, nalaman lang namin bago mag-gala. Tapos ito biglang may dumating, tapos dalawa pa, kaya talagang napa-wow nalang ako," said Andres.

Before joining Protege, Andres has already been acting as a professional theater actor. He became a stage performer after he was spotted by a theater director while he was working part-time in a fast food chain. From then on, stage acting has become part of his daily routine.

"Binibigay ko po talaga yung sarili ko sa pag-arte ko. Ang goal ko lang talaga ay mapakita ko yung acting talent ko and maging safe ako sa elimination," he shared.

Apart from Andres, Elle Ramirez (Mega Manila) also received a special award for Best Female Protege and the Visayas Team for Best in Ensemble Acting.(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

Rafael Rosell Expresses Excitement in Working with Marian Rivera!

"Kung pwede lang akong tumambling ngayon gagawin ko e (laughs). Ganun ako ka-excited. It’s a new journey, new people to work with, new atmosphere. Para sa akin change is good; it will help you develop more as a person not just as an actor. Mas mag-eexpand yung experience ko dito!”

This is how Rafael Rosell expressed during his contract signing with GMA-7. He is so excited to work in the Kapuso network most especially working Marian Rivera who will be his leading lady in the Philippine remake of the Korean series Temptation of Wife.”


He candidly shared his initial impression of Marian. “To be honest, I’ve heard a lot of rumors about her – both positive and negative – pero sa akin kasi until makausap ko talaga yung tao hindi ako naniniwala. Pero nung nakasama ko siya doon ko nakita that she’s a very nice person, she’s nothing like what people are saying. Para sa akin, first-hand experience is what matters,” he said.

Rafael did not expect that upon his transfer to GMA-7, he will immediately venture into primetime with GMA’s Primetime Queen.

“Sobrang honored talaga ako kasi hindi ko naman inexpect na yun kaagad ang ibibigay sa akin ng GMA pagdating ko dito,” said Rafael.

Rafael said that working in a new network feels like joining show business once again.

“Tulad nga ng sinabi ko sa mga kaibigan ko, para akong nag-uumpisang mag-artista ulit. Naaalala ko yung unang punta ko dito sa Pilipinas, I was so excited, I was inspired, ganon na ganon ang nararamdaman ko ngayon kaya sobrang excited po ako,” he said.

Since the expiration of his contract with ABS-CBN’s Star Magic, Rafael’s career has been managed by Popoy Caritativo who is also the manager of Marian Rivera and Dennis Trillo.

“Matagal ko na rin kasing naririnig sa mga friends ko sa industriya na interesado si Popoy na mag-manage sa akin and so nung mag-expire yung contract ko with Star Magic, siya ang unang naisip ko. Nag-meeting kami at wala naman kaming naging problema sa terms and conditions namin, at OK yung rapport namin, and so siya na,” shared Rafael.

Before working on “Temptation of Wife,” Rafael Rosell taped two episodes of Chef Boy Logro’s “Kusina Master” and he will also appear in the first week of the upcoming primetime fantasy series, “Aso ni San Roque.”

“Sa ‘Aso ni San Roque’ first time ko pong makatrabaho ang isang hayop (aso) and doon ko na-realize na after midnight, kahit tao pa man o hayop talagang hindi na nakakasunod sa mga direction and command,” he quipped.(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

But aside from these things, what makes "Amorosa" an extra-ordinary horror film is that the lead stars and the production staff of the movie experienced a real-life horror while filming the movie. These were unveiled by the cast and director of the movie during the recently held Blogger's Conference of "Amorosa" in Wangfu Restaurant, I'll Terrazo, Tomas Morato, QC.

The movie was shot in Tanay, Rizal. The foggy location in the middle of the forest contributes scream in the movie. "We rented an old house for this film," Direk Topel shared.

Direk Enrico Santos of Skylight Films said that while shooting the movie, they experienced their own ghost stories. "Minsan may biglang kumakalabog. Or minsan biglang sasara 'ung pinto kahit walang tao," he narrated.

"Sabi 'nung isang staff namin na nakakakita talaga, meron daw talagang nagbabatay dun sa bahay," Ms. Angel Aquino, the lead star of the movie added. "But we're thankful na wala kaming nagambala or na-abused na spirit while doing the movie," Angel further shared.

Adding more terrifying experience to the team was that, "kahit bumabagyo na at bumabaha sa buong Metro Manila, kami tuloy pa din sa shooting. Talagang na-trapped kami sa Tanay," Direk Topel unveiled. Majority of the scenes in the movie were finished during the devastating 'Habagat' week in the country.

Fresh from the success of "The Healing," Martin Del Rosario returns on another horror movie via "Amorosa." He plays the character of Amiel, one of the sons of Angel and the brother of Enrique. "Challenging ang role ko dito since I'll portray the character of a blind man."

When asked about his terrifying experience, Martin shared, "ako nung bata ako, takot talaga ako sa manyika." "But when I grow old, na-overcome ko na siya. Pero 'nung ginagawa namin 'ung movie na sinasaliwan ng frightening sound ng piano, bumalik 'ung takot ko. Pagnakakakita uli ako ng dolls, agad kong pinalalayo s'kin," Martin explained.

Enrique Gil on the other hand shared that he is a person who didn't got frightened easily. "Hindi talaga ako matatakuting tao. But when doing the movie, I felt scared because of the location." "Foggy kase 'ung place tapos nasa gitna pa ng forest na walang tao," he added. "Amorosa: The Revenge" is actually Enrique's first ever horror film!

The cast also revealed their favorite horror film which truly makes them scared. Majority of them like "Jaws" and "The Exorcist." Ejay Falcon who is also part of the lead characters shared that his most favorite scary movie is the "Aswang" episode of the local film "Shake, Rattle, and Roll!"

The Whole Cast and Director of the Movie

Angel Aquino further shared that her character as Rosa is her most challenging role. "Dito kase hindi ka lang nananakot. Horror sya na may kasamang drama," she emphasized. Angel is best known in the teleseryes like "Magkaribal" and "Maria La Del Barrio" as she played the remarkable antagonists namely Vera and Victoria Dela Vega! "Amorosa: The Revenge" is actually her second horror movie since she was already part of the previous classic film "Siquor."

The movie is also a family drama wherein the story revolves around the mother and sons. The family undergone an accident that will change their lives. It tackles the importance of decision and its consequences.

According to the director of the movie, the title "Amorosa" was derived from a midnight flower. We will see how this kind of flower is related to the whole flow of the story. For me, the title of the movie is actually the combination of the names of the characters of Martin as Amiel, Enrique as Rommel, and Angel as Rosa. Putting "Amiel," "Rommel", and "Rosa" altogether brings us "Amorosa!" Cool!

Also part of the movie are Carlo Aquino, Franco Daza, Nico Antonio, Jairus Aquino, Mosang, Richard Quan, and with the special participation of Xyriel Manabat. The movie also introduces Jane Oineza.

"Amorosa: The Revenge" will start to frighten the theaters nationwide this coming August 29, 2012! It's truly a must see movie and an extra-ordinary horror flick! Two thumbs up!(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)
