Albert Martinez: From King of Yangdon in 'Princess and I' to King of Aswangs in 'Juan Dela Cruz!'

Albert Martinez created a remarkable role playing King Anand, the good and respected King of Yangdon in the recently concluded hit royal-serye "Princess and I." Now, he will create another remarkable character as he portrays another exciting and extra-ordinary role!

From a good and handsome king of a beautiful palace in Bhutan, Albert now portrays another king role. This time, he turns as the King of the Aswangs in the newest superhero fantaserye "Juan Dela Cruz"!

Far from his character in "Princess and I," Albert in this newest teleserye is bad, killer, and antagonist. He kills people. He conquers with darkness and evilness! For him, "ang mga tao ay pagkain!"  

In the series, Albert camouflages himself as the rich businessman Samuel. He lives in wealth with his family - with his wife Zsa Zsa Padilla and his son Aaron Villaflor. But, he is aiming to dominate the world with darkness! At night, he turns to be a powerful monster!

Albert is also the long-lost father of Coco Martin's character as Juan Dela Cruz. He didn't know that he has a son to the human and cross caretaker Amelia (Mylene Dizon). His real son is actually his mortal enemy! This is the great twist which makes the story of "Juan Dela Cruz" more exciting and far from the usual teleseryes we used to watch before!

Playing the character of an aswang and a villain at the same time once more proves the versatility of Albert Martinez as an actor! In the Kapamilya network, Albert already did different remarkable characters. He played as the powerful mayor Enrique in "May Bukas Pa" (2009), as a pirate captain and father of Princess Sarah in "Princess Sarah" (2007), as the head pilot in "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo" (2010), and as King Anand of Yangdon Kingdom in "Princess and I" (2012).

This is also the second time that Albert and Coco play the character of father and son. Yes in 2010, Albert already played as father to Ringo (Coco Martin) in the hit Kimerald teleserye "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo." Coco in the said TV series was the son of Albert and Jacklyn Jose.

Watch the reunion of Coco and Albert and of another interesting character of Albert Martinez in "Juan Dela Cruz" which premieres this Monday, February 4, 2013 in ABS-CBN's top-rating Primetime Bida! Exciting!(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

Poll Result: Daniel Padilla is the Bet Prince for Kathryn Bernardo in 'Princes and I!'

 

Daniel Padilla emerged as the favorite and the bet prince for Kathryn Bernardo in the hit Primetime royal teleserye "Princes and I".  Daniel defeated Kathryn's other two leading men Enrique Gil and Khalil Ramos.  

Based on the online poll survey garnered by this website, Daniel got an overall percentage votes of 63%. Enrique only got 30% putting him on the second spot while Khalil landed on the third place with 6% total votes.

Here is the final poll result:

Daniel is playing the character of a bad boy Gino in the teleserye "Princess and I."  His tandem with Kathryn who is playing the role of Princess Micai was well-loved by many as they always portray a cat-dog relationship!

Enrique on the other hand is playing the character of Prince Jao, a royal-blooded Prince from the Kingdom of Yangdon. He is the only son of the wicked Ashi Behati played by Ms. Gretchen Barretto.

Meanwhile "Princess and I" is Khalil's very first acting role on TV. He is playing Mica's bestfriend Kiko. Through thick and thin, he is always there for Micai as her bestfriend.

The tandem of Kathryn and Daniel or popularly known now as KatNiel started last year via the hit ABS-CBN's teen-oriented show "Growing Up." Daniel replaced the former love team of Kathryn who is Albie Casiño after a controversial issue with Andi Eigenmann.

"Princess and I" is actually the second TV project of Kathryn and Daniel. Well, since their love team becomes an instant hit, expect to see them in upcoming movies and other TV series!

Do you think Kathryn and Daniel or Princess Micai and Gino live happily ever after in the end of "Princess and I?" We'll see. Thumbs up and more power to KatNiel!(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

Daniel Padilla's "Prinsesa" Official Music Video!

 

 

After the success of his first single "Hinahanap-hanap Kita" which also gave him a Gold record, the Kapamilya young heartthrob and one of "Princess and I" leading men, Daniel Padilla releases another single. This is "Prinsesa" which most of us already familiar with.

"Prinsesa"  is a 1995 hit song popularized by the Pinoy Band named Teeth. In 2007, the group 6CycleMind revived the same song and eventually conquered the music scene!

Now in 2012, a young actor gave his very own rendition of the said song. His version was first played in the royal teleserye "Princess and I" which fitted his love interest Kathryn Bernardo. Afterwards, the song was now heard again in different radio stations after five years.

Inline with this, the official music video of "Prinsesa" starring Daniel Padilla is now released! And here is it:

As you can see in the music video, Daniel is singing inside a maze of hedges looking for someone. The concept is somewhat royal-inspired with the warrior facing all the challenges just to find his princess!

Daniel's album entitled "Hinahanap-hanap Kita" is released by Star Records. It contains six track namely: the carrier single Hinahanap-hanap Kita, Pagsubok, Paniwalaan Mo, Prinsesa, Grow Old With You, and Ako’y Iyo Ika’y Akin Lamang.
