Margaret and Harry Themesong

Say That You Love Me
Martin Nievera-original version
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1uk9zE1HXg

My morning starts to shine
With teardrops in my eyes
And here I am alone starting to realize
That my days would be brighter
If I could learn to hide
The feeling that I have for you
Keeps haunting me inside

Then my days begin
With simple thoughts of you
Hoping that tomorrow will be me and you
Sharing dreams with each other
And making them come true
Holding one another, saying all I need is you

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when I need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
(Ooh) This I swear is true
My love will always be with you

Now my nights would end
With just one wish, that's you
To hold me in the dark
And help me make it through
'Cause the pain that's inside me
Would simply melt away
If I had you here with me
And promise me you'd stay

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when I need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
(Ooh) This I swear is true
My love will always be with you

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when I need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
(Ooh) This I swear is true
My love will always be with you
My love will always
My love will always ooh, ooh
My love will always be with you

I'M FALLIN' FOR YOU
Jamie Rivera

What is this I'm feelin'
I just can't explain
When you're near
I'm not quite the same
I try to hide it
Try not to show it
It's crazy, how could this be

I'm fallin' for you
Finally my heart gave in
And I'm fallin' in love
I've finally known
How it feels

When you said "hello"
I looked in your eyes
Suddenly I felt good inside
Is this really happening
Or am I just dreaming
I guess it's true
I can't believe

I'm fallin' for you
Finally my heart gave in
And I'm fallin' in love
I've finally known
How it feels
So this is love

It doesn't matter where I am
Thoughts of you still linger
In my mind
No matter what time of day
I'm really, really
Fallin' for you

I'm fallin' for you
Finally my heart gave in
And I'm fallin' in love
I've finally known
How it feels
So this is love

Full Ending Of HIram

by fara

Full Ending Of HIram

Stephanie started to tell Margaret all her anger deep inside, from the time when she let go of Harry up to the time when all of Steph?s plans were ruined because Margaret left. It was very painful to Stephanie to know that she is not part of Margaret?s life anymore, why is she being punished and not Margaret? She even got her mommy, Tita Diana and Harry. Destiny is just too unfair to her. She let Margaret feel all the punishments that God had made to her. Then Margaret said, her sickness in her heart got back and she will soon die. She had a wrong decision of not letting her family know about her sickness. Up to know, she is still asking Steph to help her carry her again. Edward, Harry, and the police are not yet stopping in finding Margaret. And the friendship of Margaret and Steph was fixed when they both said the truth, steph asked for help. But she can?t ask for any help because Dindo had hurt the kidnappers. At the same time, one of them saw that the police were coming. They were panicking because the police were coming and because of the struggle, Steph was shot. Margaret crawled to reach for her friend and they both fainted while holding the hands of each other. They had been rescued by the police and were brought to the hospital, Margaret, whose heart is about to die and Steoh who has a severe gun shot. When Diana and Sophia knew about what happened, they didn?t know what to do. In the ambulance, Steph had a chance to say goodbye to Harry and then she fainted again. They were in a helicopter and they were brought to the hospital, and there Diana and Sophia saw their daughters who were both worrying about their daughter?s condition. They were both asking Steph and Margaret to hold on to their life. Sophia apologizes to an unconscious Steph while Edward and Diana
watch over their ailing daughter. And when everything was over,
Stephanie left them. But Margaret got her heart, Steph saved her friend and Steph is still alive in Margaret. In the cemetery, Sophia told Beatrice to take care of her daughter. And after some time, their wounds will all start to heal. Xander and Sophia had another chance while Diana and Edward had a baby which they named Stephanie. Margaret and Harry were together again and William also had some other girl too.

William Espino... all bout him

MTB TV Idol Ahron Villena is the newest member of the �MTB: Ang Saya-Saya� family. Having recently won the coveted hosting job, Ahron now appears regularly on the show. On the other hand, his fellow TV Idol finalists AJ Dee, Marc Cortez, JE Sison and Kiko Matos appear on separate weekdays. They are seen on-screen pitting their singing, dancing and hosting skills with the other noontime hosts. They are true testaments of MTB�s ability of being able to showcase wholesome family entertainment and Workshop@ABS-CBN�s dedication to mold future artists through specialized training.

The �MTB TV Idol� search innovates the usual contest on TV by showing that good looks and charisma are not the only winning criteria needed but also talent. The TV Idols have gone through extensive training at Workshop@ABS-CBN under the supervision of Star Magic�s (Talent Center) SVP Johnny Manahan and Workshop@ABS-CBN�s manager Beverly Vergel. Workshops in acting, voice, dance, speech and comedy improvision not only enhanced their confidence and skills but equipped them with the discipline and values that would aid them in their future showbiz careers. Seasoned host Boy Abunda and Dominic Ochoa in turn shared their knowledge and experiences in their hosting workshop.

Moreover, the training for the TV Idols aims to improve their craft and learn further techniques while integrating values such as discipline, responsibility, self-empowerment and teamwork, which are learned through exercises that also encourage social interaction and self-expression.

Ahron said that he used to be shy but nevertheless he tried his luck in auditioning. He says, �Walang masama mag-try (in auditions). Kasi tulad ko, nag-try ako. Pinalad ako. Kaya kung may talent kayo, kung magaling kayo, go for it!� To those who eventually make it big. He advises, �Huwag lalaki ang ulo kasi dun ka babagsak at babalik ka sa pinanggalingan mo.�

Ahron himself recommends Workshop@ABS-CBN to aspiring contest auditionees and future artists. He mentions that though you may have innate talent, training is still needed to improve and develop yourself.

Like Ahron an the other TV Idols, get the edge with Workshop@ABS-CBN! Discover the thrill of performing in Acting Workshops, synch and jive to the beat in Streetdance Workshops, reach for the high notes in Voice Classes. Voice and Dance courses are offered year-round.

Other courses offered are the Newscasting and News Reporting Workshops. Enrollment is on going and limited slots are available.

Watch out for the Hosting workshops to be handled by Boy Abunda and Arnell Ignacio, as well as the Feature Writing by An Alcantara and Entertainment Writing by Leah Salterio. For details and inquiries, call 415-3828, Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can also e-mail workshops@abs-cbn.com or text Workshops to 2366.

Hiram OST

Hiram
[zsa zsa padila - version]

May isang umagang `di mo hahagkan
Ang mata kong `di ka magigisnan
Turuan mong ako'y h'wag masaktan
Kahit ako para sa `yo
Ay `sang hiram At hindi dapat magdamdam
Di mo lang alam na kahit pa mali
Naging langit ang bawa't sandali
Magmula nang halik mo'y dumampi
Pag-ibig mo pag-ibig ko kapwa hiram

Wala ka bang pakiramdam
Di ba ako'y tao lang na
Nadadarang at natutukso rin
Maiaalis mo ba sa `kin na matutuhan kang mahalin
Sa bawa't sandaling hiram natin
Di ba ako'y tao lang na
Nadadarang at natutukso rin
Maiaalis mo ba sa `kin na matutuhan kang mahalin
Sa bawa't sandaling hiram natin hah hoo
May isang umagang `di mo hahagkan
Ang mata kong `di ka magigisnan
Turuan mong ako'y h'wag masaktan
Kahit ako para sa `yo
Ay `sang hiram At hindi dapat magdamdam
O hiram na kung hiram bawa't saglit
Wala ako isa mang hinanakit
Basta't kapiling ka'y langit
Walang sa `yo ay papalit
Hinding-hindi ako sa `yo magdaramdam
Kahit hiram

It Might Be You

by brown monkey

It Might Be You

The hottest young love team of the year returns with the biggest teleserye of the season as ABS-CBN presents John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo in It Might Be You, which debuted last Monday, November 8, right after Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas.

It Might Be You brings a fresh, youthful and light touch to the teleserye genre in this refreshing love story centering on Earl Lawrence Trinidad (John Lloyd Cruz) and Cielo San Carlos (Bea Alonzo), two teens in the small town of Montegracia.

John Lloyd and Bea are also joined by an acclaimed cast who will bring the vision of this teleserye to life.

John Lloyd plays the only child of the Trinidads, the ruling family in the small town of Montegracia. "I'm so glad to be in another ABS-CBN teleserye, especially in a project that's so different from my previous ones, which have required me to be so dramatic week in and week out," said the young actor. "I just wish that the fans would support It Might Be You the way they supported Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay."

Bea Alonzo plays Cielo San Carlos, the feisty adopted daughter of the San Carlos family, who operates the town's local movie theatre.

"It's such a good feeling to be back in a teleserye, because it's like forming another new family - one that contains John Lloyd and Miss Jean (Garcia) from my old family at Kay Tagal," Bea says.

Another top teen idol, John Pratts, has been tapped to play the role of Gian Carlo Pablo, Lawrence's adopted brother. "This is actually my first teleserye," John notes. "After 12 years in show business, I've finally gotten the chance to be in a teleserye, and I'm really excited, because this is a really different project."

Jean Garcia essays a completely different role as Orlanda Mae Lacuesta, the "town-idiot" who holds the secret of the town of Montegracia.

"There are two things I'm thankful for regarding It Might Be You," says Jean. "First is that I have another teleserye with the ABS-CBN family. Secondly, I have a new role that keeps me from being typecast, because Ola is such a different role for me, and that makes it an exciting challenge."

Tirso Cruz III and Maritoni Fernandez take on the roles of the all-powerful Mayor Ernesto Lord Trinidad and his wife, Dr. Frida Montegracia-Trinidad, who both head the most respected family in the town of Montegracia. "I'm looking forward to working with this group, having heard a lot of really great things about ABS-CBN's teleserye team in the past," says Tirso, who is doing his first teleserye for the network. This also marks Maritoni's return to the teleserye genre since gracing another ABS-CBN teleserye, Darating Ang Umaga.

Two more acclaimed actors make their teleserye debut with It Might Be You, as children's TV veteran Bodjie Pascua (best-known for his roles on Batibot and Epol/Apple) and controversial former sexy star Sarsi Emmanuelle take on the roles of Eseng and Lupe San Carlos, Cielo's parents.

"I've been out of show business for more than 10 years," notes Sarsi. "Mostly, my fears are only drawn from whether I can give the kind of performance people expect from the ABS-CBN teleseryes. I really hope I can - this project deserves it."

"I don't really know what to expect, this being my first teleserye," says Bodjie. "It's a little daunting, but then I realize I'm surrounded by many people who are veterans of this genre. All I hope for is that people can accept this new side of me, now that I'm not in a children's program anymore."

After his role in the smash hit teleserye Bituin, Gardo Versoza assumes his newest teleserye part as Camilo San Carlos, Eseng's younger brother and Cielo's mysterious uncle. "It's an exciting project for me because It Might Be You is trying to present something different for the viewer. It's not all drama, drama, drama, but it has humor in it, too... just like life," says Gardo.

Baron Geisler also marks a return to the teleserye fold as Derek Castro, Cielo's friend. "It's my only other teleserye project after Recuerdo de Amor, and I'm glad that this character is not an average teenybopper like Fonzy from Tabing Ilog. It's another interesting character for me to play, he has responsibilities, a job, a different aura."

It Might Be You also introduces a new young star, Maja Salvador, in the role of Cara.

It Might Be You is directed by Gilbert Perez and Don Cuaresma.

Ricky Lee serves as the series' Creative Manager and Headwriter. Olivia M. Lamasan is It Might Be You's Creative Director, with Malou N. Santos as the Executive In-Charge of Production and Annaliza A. Goma serving as Supervising Producer. Grace Ann Casimsiman is the Executive Producer.

It Might Be You (2003-2004)
Character's name: Cielo San Carlos
Casts: Bea Alonzo, John Lloyd Cruz, Jean Garcia, Gardo Versoza, John Prats, Baron Geisler, Tirso Cruz III, Maritoni Fernandez, Marco Alcaraz , introducing Maja Salvador, Mico Palanca
Directors: Gilbert Perez and Don Cuaresma

IT MIGHT BE YOU

ERIK SANTOS-version

Time... I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life...
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me...

Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you...
All of my life...

Looking back as lovers go walking past...
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last

If I found the place
Would I recognize the face?
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it might be you

So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make

I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time...
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life...

I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before...

Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life...
It's you..
It's you...
I've been waiting for all of my life...

Maybe it's you...
Maybe it's you...
I've been waiting for all of my life...

Maybe it's you...
Maybe it's you...
I've been waiting for all of my life...

Repeat to fade...

About this boy... Axel Rivero

by brown monkey

About this boy... Axel Rivero

Twenty-year-old actor Marco Alcaraz said that he once questioned God for what was happening to his life.

It all happened after he sustained an ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament). He was then a varsity player for the San Sebastian Stags and he had high hopes of joining the Philippine Basketball Association after college.

"I came all the way from Cebu. My parents knew how much I wanted to be a professional basketball player someday.. That?s why they supported my decision to study in Manila. But then ACL happened. I asked God why, because I worked hard to be in the team. I was devastated. I cried for months!" His injury put him in therapy for almost six months. Without a clue as to what will become of his childhood dream, he was convinced to dabble in modeling. At 6?1, with good looks and a ball player?s physique, he was a shoo-in as a ramp model. It was then through his modeling that he met his manager Arnold Vigafria of ALV Productions. He was asked if he wanted to audition for a role in one of ABS-CBN?s new soap opera last year. For reasons he couldn?t fathom, he risked personal embarrassment to try acting. Acting, he recalled, was something he laughed at when he was in high school. Already a ball player he would find it amusing to see his friends act in school plays.

"I was so depressed then that I decided to audition and probably do acting for while I was recovering. But I wasn?t expecting a role that big. I got in and everything followed. I suddenly was enjoying acting. I was very happy?the irony was that I didn?t like acting before in school and now I?m the one pursuing an acting career," Marco stated. His audition was a success and last year the name Marco Alcaraz became a byword on prime time television in ABS-CBN?s "It Might Be You." He was the third angle in the love triangle in the movie with John Lloyd and Bea Alonzo.

Televiewers avidly watched to see who would get the girl in the end. For Marco, "It Might Be You" was a big break for him in showbiz. He never had any experience in acting nor did he know anything about dealing with other actors then. He didn?t even know how popular the tandem of John Lloyd and Bea Alonzo was. In an instant, Marco, the actor, was also becoming a hit like his soap opera.

"For me, the Lord works in mysterious ways. Sometimes things happen that you don?t understand. But you realize everything has a purpose," Marco shared.

He added that at the moment he has benched his dream to be a professional basketball player. But he still plays the game given the time. In fact, he is scheduled to leave for Bahrain in a month?s time for an exhibition game with past PBA superstars.

As he made a name in "It Might Be You," he was luckily cast in BAS Films? "Ae****e Imasu 1941: Mahal Kita," an official entry to last year?s Metro Manila Film Festival. He made a mark as the loyal assistant to the Japanese captain who fell in love and impregnated a Filipina. Since then he has done guest appearances in various shows and has hosted events.

"Hanggang ngayon dumarating ang mga blessings. This is why I realized that probably I wasn?t really meant to play ball. I mean I even injured my arm when I was in Cebu a few years back. Maybe He is just leading me into another way, the right way?blessing in disguise yung ACL. Because of it I was included in the love-triangle with John and Bea," he shared.The good projects that kept pouring into his lap have brought Marco to a seeming ethereal level of happiness. Who wouldn?t? After seeing his childhood dream crumble right in front of him, a bigger door of opportunity opened for him.

The limelight, the popularity that goes with being a pro in basketball would have happened in many years and the probability of it materializing could have been slim. But he got those in a matter of months with his break in "It Might Be You." He also meant so much for him that he could provide some financial assistance to his family even though they don?t need it. For him, it was his simple way of saying thank you for their wholehearted support in all his endeavors. (Marco is currently in the one month special episode of "Wansapanataym" entitled "D Supers" wherein he plays a super hero with the power of super speed.)

"As of now, I haven?t set any goals in showbiz. I just make it a point that whatever role is given to me, I would do my best to make it come out as effective as possible. I really would do my best to give justice to my roles!" Marco?s latest challenge as an actor is in Ben "M7" Yalung?s "Birhen ng Manaoag" which is slated for a Holy Week release. In the movie that retells the story of the "Birhen ng Manaoag" on film, he plays a seminarian and a researcher and expert on the story of the miraculous Birhen ng Manaoag. According to the director, he immediately cast Marco because of his good aura which the filmmaker took as a good sign. On the other hand, the screenplay writer Chris Vallez explained that the expressive eyes of the actor caught his attention. He said that Marco had a sad look in his eyes. The reason for such emotional requirement was because of the plight of Marco?s character. In the film, as a seminarian, he suddenly lost faith in God when his mother, played by Alicia Alonzo, died. He couldn?t believe it when this tragic event transpired because he has devoted all his life to serving God. For Marco the biggest challenge for him in the film was his reaction when his screen mother died.

"If you saw the trailer, you?d know that it was hard for me to break the statues of saints. I?m a Catholic and it felt wrong to be throwing those statues on the floor and breaking them. There was really hesitation on my part but then it was a job I had to do."

He added that at his present stage as an actor, his vulnerability is also one of his challenges. "I often run out of motivation to deliver the needed emotion. I have a happy life but I just know that a happy life is not an excuse not to be able to cry when needed. I really need motivation on that part and I worked hard to be more effective in my characterizations."

Staying for five days in Manaoag, Pangasinan, Marco was fortunate to be close to the statue of the Birhen ng Manaoag as compared to devotees who adore the Blessed Virgin from a distance. "I was so close that when I pray to her, I can just feel her presence. Just looking at her eyes felt like she was talking to me. My faith really became stronger after doing this film?it was just unfortunate that I wasn?t able to see the miraculous petals," he intimated.

Joining him in "Birhen ng Manaoag" is Joyce Jimenez, Eddie Garcia, Albert Martinez, Jodi Santamaria, Cherry Pie Picache, Bianca King, Jean Garcia, Ina Feleo, Ella Guevarra, Paolo Paraiso and Matthew Hunt as Jesus Christ.

As of now, Marco has realized that showbiz is not all about glamor and fame. It is also about passion in being an actor.

"I?m already a year old in the business and I thought before that showbiz was an easy thing to do. Then I found out that you have to internalize your roles and you have to read the scripts. You go through sleepless nights; acting is really a very tough job. The competition is stiff and you have to do your best in everything. Whenever an opportunity comes along you just have to grab it and make the most out of it!"

Marco Alcaraz has transformed his passion in basketball to acting and he has been making all his shots! He is one versatile actor ON THE RISE!

Sa Dulo Ng Walang Hanggan [Eternal Point]

by gergoz

Sa Dulo Ng Walang Hanggan [EternalPoint]

[Story]
Sa Dulo Ng Walang Hanggan is the best soap opera ever produced in the Philippines. Teleserye at its best. This show has the best set of cast to date. From Claudine Barretto to Dennis Trillo to Kaye Abad. Everyone was brilliant especially Mylene Dizon (Sally Conception). Mylene was the best villain in this soap. We all loved to hate her. The main plot and subplots were all interesting. All actors (movie and theater) in this soap were really good. This is Wenn Deramas' best work ever. KEiko Aquino and Rondel Lindayag and all writers were really brilliant in organizing the plots. from 1912 to 2001. Superb. If ABS-CBN will air this soap again, I would watch every single episode. Although not all characters resolved their issues at the end, the last episode was still worth watching. Very touching finale.

IS TJ TRINIDAD THE NEXT TELESERYE PRINCE?

As Richard Gutierrez kindle the
magic of fantaseryes, a new prince charming from
tinsel town is vying to revive the Filipinos� delight
for melodrama.

He is TJ Trinidad, a leading man on the rise as he was
given another boost in his three-year-old showbiz
career�becoming the love interest of soap opera
princess Kristine Hermosa in the remake of the
historical teleserye Gulong ng Palad.

�Acting is my no. 1 priority. It�s a passion of mine,�
said TJ who plays Carding, a spoiled rich kid and
mama�s boy who fell in love with Kristine�s character,
Luisa.

�But the role I play in the soap is very far from who
I am in reality,� he pointed out.

TJ, or Raul in real life, got his doses in acting from
the TV commercials he did since he was 10. San Miguel
Beer, Head & Shoulders, Nescaf�, Swatch, and PLDT are
just some of the products he endorsed.

Coincidentally, becoming a staple in boob-tube
advertisements is one of the things he shares with a
long-time crush�the queen of commercials
herself�Sharon Cuneta.

�When I was a kid, I used to believe that I was the
Megastar�s Mr. DJ,� he confessed, further saying that
working with the 1998 Box Office Queen and Grand Slam
Best Actress is one of his much-awaited fancies.

From minute TV appearances, TJ�s craving for more
acting stints started to steer. His training grounds
were the amateur theater performances he made to raise
funds for a parish in Alabang.

During his college years, this football and tennis
aficionado concentrated on being the frontman of his
band Mofo, alongside earning his B.S. Commerce Major
in Marketing degree from De La Salle University.

Like any young bachelor, TJ practiced a corporate
career after college, but after the three companies in
which he worked were padlocked, the half-Norwegian,
half-Spanish heartthrob decided to track down his
childhood calling.

Through the help of family friend Edu Manzano, TJ was
introduced into showbiz via June Rufino, his present
manager.

�I never planned anything. As long as I�m acting, I�m
happy,� TJ told his fans in an online forum. �I let my
manager do the planning for me. I never compromise my
principles for the sake of popularity or advancing my
career.�

For his talent and sincerity, TJ impressed director
Jerry Sineneng and another co-director, making him win
a spot in Judy Ann Santos� heart as John Paul in the
defunct action-drama series, Basta�t Kasama Kita.

As he put it: �Any actor of any caliber would count
himself lucky to even be mentioned in the same breath
as Judy Ann.�

Nevertheless, TJ�s fortune as the on-screen lover of
one of this generation�s premier actresses multiplied
two-fold. In Gulong ng Palad, He was not only matched
with another actress of the likes of Judy Ann. This
time, he handles the lead role.

�I can�t name the difference between Juday and Tin.
They�re both hardworking and talented. They have
different ways of approaching acting. Both are also
fun to work with and are good kissers,� he told in an
interview.

Since he only met Kristine through an audition for the
soap, TJ, as of press time, does not feel that he
could be Tin�s real-life darling, just like what
happened in the previous lovebirds who graced the
foremost Gulong sequels.

�I will not court a girl who�s already committed,� he
firmly said. �Tin and I are only friends, for now.�

He, however, did not discount the fact that he enjoyed
doing the honeymoon scene with his leading lady,
together with his first crying scene, which he
surprisingly got during the first take.

�My whole experience in making the drama series is
memorable,� he melodiously said. �Every scene and take
is a new learning experience for me.�

Andrea del Rosario, who plays the thorn between lovers
Luisa and Carding, reckons her working (and smooching)
experience with TJ and another co-star, Rico Barrera.
�TJ kisses better than Rico,� she said, proudly
stating that she christened Rico�s lips. �Maybe it�s
because TJ is more veteran than the other.�

Indeed, TJ and the cast were able to reawaken the
nostalgia of the old Gulong ng Palad, according to
Loida Virginia, original writer of the series.

�The actors of the Gulong ng Palad today have equaled
the performance of the past actors of the first
version,� she declared.

Could this success signal TJ�s turn to trudge the path
toward becoming an in-demand leading man?

As of the moment, TJ still feels that he has not
fitted yet in Piolo Pascual�s or Jericho Rosales�
shoes.

�I want to be like Piolo in terms of
talent, not popularity,� he stressed.

Like his idol, TJ would also want to be in a tandem
with young, celebrated actresses like Bea Alonzo,
Claudine Barretto, and Heart Evangelista. Nonetheless,
he believed that �hard work and dedication are the
keys to success and not whom you�re paired up with.�

For TJ, who pledged loyalty to the Kapamilya camp,
Gulong is just one of the many opportunities that he
is excited to get his hands on. But for ABS-CBN, which
is again wooing its audience to go back to their
melodrama grassroots, TJ is a face of hope.

Gulong Ng Palad [Wheel ofLife]

by sweet honesty

[story]
The much loved soap opera of the late 70s, Gulong ng Palad is making a comeback, modernized but the story of true love defying all odds still remains. With a stellar cast led by Kristine Hermosa, TJ Trinidad, Luis Alandy, Cherie Gil and Rio Locsin to only name a few will surely have you riveted to your screens.

The story of Luisa and Carding unfold once more to the delight of the soap�s old fans and hopefully would capture the interest of new generation teleserye followers. The two star crossed lovers played by Kristine and TJ will bring back the good old days of Gulong ng Palad which was first a radio drama in 1949 then was made into a movie and a TV series in 1977. The classic story line of rich kid love poor girl will surely reach out and touch the hearts of audiences again.

Other artists to look out for are love teams Joross Gamboa, Roxanne Guinoo, Hazel Ann Mendoza, Mhyco Aquino plus sexy villainess Andrea Del Rosario and Nash Aguash reprising the role of the very cute Peping. Intended to run for 20 weeks, catch Gulong ng Palad every night starting this Monday, January 9 only from the station who gives you the country�s top notch teleseryes ABS-CBN.

The current Gulong ng Palad is a third generation soap which originally saw light on radio in 1949. Written by Lina Flor (Carolina Flores who later became Mrs. Koko Trinidad) who was a radio talent and a Daily Mirror columnist (Sundries), it was a daily 15-minute series on the air over DZRH.

Among the radio talents in the cast then, Loida Viri�a -- Lina Flor�s sister -- who voiced the role of Luisa.

After it ended as a radio serial in 1956, Gulong ng Palad became a popular series in 1977 up to 1984 on Banahaw Broadcasting 2.

This time with Lina Flor having died, Loida Viri�a became the soap�s writer. They took in an established star Marianne de la Riva to play the role of Luisa and Caridad Sanchez to play her mother Idad and new child actor Romnick Sarmenta to be the young boy, Peping.

Established performers made up the rest of the cast: Augusto Victa as the father Tomas, Tita de Villa as Donya Menang while Beth Bautista as Mimi.

It was the network�s wish to take in a new actor to play the male lead, Carding opposite Marianne de la Riva. I remember that many took part and the auditions stretched to weeks.

My friend Toto Confesor, in between his involvement in Kahirup ball and projects of the Ilonggos, was helping then the brothers Ronald and James Corveau. They brought them for auditions.

A week later, Ronald was asked to report to the set for taping to the excitement of Toto. Gulong ng Palad made him an instant star.

In fact, the soap changed the lives of Marianne and Ronald, the Luisa and Carding of Gulong ng Palad.

After taping one evening, they just got lost. They eloped and got married to the shock of their families�and media.

The first Gulong lasted for seven years on DZRH radio. The next Gulong, on TV two decades later, lasted for seven years (1977 to 1984) on BBC2.

***

Now after almost 22 years, the third generation Gulong ng Palad with ABS-CBN calling the shots, with Loida Viri�a being creative consultant.

No one from the old soap has been taken as part of the cast. Moreover, the story has been upgraded and expanded to include other characters. To be in keeping with the times, they point out.

Jerome Pobocan and Erick Salud direct with Kristine Hermosa (Luisa), TJ Trinidad (Carding), Rio Locsin (Idad), Joel Torre (Tomas), Cherie Gil (Menang), Andrea del Rosario (Mimi), Joross Gamboa (Totoy), Hazel Ann Mendoza (Nene), Nash Aguas (Peping), Tuesday Vargas (Saling) and Raquel Villavicencio (Carmela, Mimi�s mother).

Pagdurusa nito'y walang hanggan
Wag kang manimdim ang buhay ay
Gulong ng palad, gulong ng palad

Ang may kapal marunong tumingin
sa taong naghirap at nasawi
bawat isang gabi ay mayroong
isang umaga, isang umaga

Chorus:

Gulong ng palad
ang buhay ay
gulong ng palad
ang kandungan
ang kapalaran
kung minsan ay
nasa ilalim (2x) /ibabaw

(Instrumental)

bawat isang gabi ay mayroong
isang umaga, isang umaga

Repeat chorus

Kung minsan ang takbo ng buhay mo
pagdurusa nitoy walang hanggan
wag kang manimdim ang buhay ay
gulong ng palad, gulong ng palad

Eventhough they cannot do anything to help Ana, they always pray for her, and God finally listens to their prayers.

From the first time he sees Ana, Adrian falls in love. Adrian comes from a rich family. He is a good man, even though he is not too religious. He is looking for true love and never thinks much about wealth, which is the opposite of how his family feels. Mrs. Ratna (Adrian's mother) and Lika (Adrian's sister) are very materialistic. They resent Adrian and Ana's relationship. With the help of Hasyim and Vina (Adrian's uncle and aunt), they try to thwart Adrian and Ana's romance.

But love conquers everything. Adrian leaves his family, and lives a poor life in a small flat with his best friend Surya to get Ana's attention. God listens to his wishes, and he finally manages to marry Ana. His marriage goes well because Arman (his brother) helps him.

Arman is a wise, mature and responsible man. Arman really loves his brother and understands his character very well. Because of him, Adrian's family can accept Ana in their house. But their hatred does not dissipate. They keep trying their level best to separate Adrian and Ana in many ways.

After some time, Adrian and Ana have an accident on their honeymoon. Ana survives but Adrian is missing. Everybody thinks that Adrian is dead. But Ana still believes that God will not separate her from her husband. They finally find Adrian. But Adrian has lost his memory. He doesn't remember anything about his past.

Adrian's family uses this condition. Mrs. Ratna, Lika, Hasyim and Vina manage to influence Adrian. They use Ana's pure brotherly relationship with Arman as a weapon to make Ana look bad in front of Adrian. Until finally Adrian, who was very close to Arman, hates him. Even his love for Ana turns into revenge because Adrian thinks that Ana betrayed him and used him only to get his wealth.

But Ana's faith conquers all. Ana triumphs over all her troubles. She bears hate and insult with a smile. She only prays to God, and gives all to Him. Behind every ordeal there must be a gift waiting.

A dramatic romance that is full of religious undertones. Hikmah asks the audience to have faith in God. Behind every dark cloud is a silver lining. God only presents troubles to make humans stronger and truer to God and oneself.

Vietnamese Phim Bo : Blouse Trang (White Blouse)

Faces of Vietnamese Phim Bo that's Vietnamese language for Drama/Series.

Blouse Trang (White Blouse), is a 70-part TV series which portrays the lives of doctors and nurses in a general hospital. In particular, the show follows the challenges and conflicts faced by three talented young doctors: Thanh, Hung, and Thy Oanh.

All three are ambitious and work to realise professional success by following different paths, but share a common realisation that their most important duty is saving people�s lives.

"Blouse Trang is a story of modern youngsters who work hard to earn a living and progress rapidly in their careers," said the series� director, Tran My Ha.

Ha says his series is a message for Vietnamese youngsters who sometimes forget traditional values in the pursuit of money and career status. "I believe young viewers can learn valuable lessons from the show and its characters," said Ha.

The script for the series was written by Nguyen Manh Tuan, a popular screenplay writer. Tuan and Ha worked together to adapt the screenplay for TV.

"Our story is a real story," Ha said, adding that he and Tuan spent nearly two years writing the script.

Lauded as one of the country�s most talented directors, Ha has attracted large youth audiences for previous films such as Giua Dong (Mid Stream) and Ong Ca Ho (Mr Ca Ho).

"Many critics are concerned that Vietnamese audiences prefer foreign movies over local ones. But I believe that with our quality films, we will attract movie fans, despite the domination of Korean and Chinese films," Ha said.

Before making Blouse Trang, Ha asked the actors to visit two inner-city hospitals.

"I wanted the film to reflect the true lives of doctors. They are ordinary people who must work like superman to care for their patients."

"I want Blouse Trang to be a realistic story. I hope real-life doctors can see themselves in the film."

He explained that doctors differ in personality, lifestyle and age, but they all share the same dedication to helping people.

"We contacted many doctors, particularly young doctors and nurses in the city. This way we could understand their lives and the hardships they face. Their energy and talent made a strong impression on us," said Tuyet Thu, who plays Thy Oanh.

"I love this series, and my role. Through my work, I can learn about different experiences and feel confident and powerful in finding my true path," she said.

Tuyet Thu is particularly enthusiastic about a scene in which Thy Oanh�s boyfriend ends their relationship because he thinks that she loves her patients more than she loves him.

"Thy Oanh cries that medicine is her destiny and becoming a doctor is her role and her duty," Thu explained. "Thy Oanh faces trials that only doctors like her can understand. She devotes her all time to caring for her patients. I hope everyone will understand the difficulties that female doctors like Thy Oanh face."

Malaysian tvDrama :Manjalara

SEKALI lagi penonton-penonton televisyen akan disajikan dengan sebuah slot terbaru di stesen televisyen swasta, TV3 iaitu Akasia.

Jika sebelum ini, kita sudahpun disajikan dengan slot-slot seperti Samarinda, Asian Potpuri, Sinetron dan Identiti, Akasia pula bakal menampilkan tayangan adaptasi telenovela daripada Amerika Latin -salah satu daripadanya ialah Manjalara.

"Manjalara merupakan adaptasi telenovela Sepanyol ke versi Bahasa Melayu yang pertama di Malaysia," umum Johari Salleh selaku Pengurus Pengurusan Penjenamaan TV3 semasa sidang akhbar pelancaran slot Akasia di Palace of The Golden Horses baru-baru ini.

Pengarah sensasi Khabir Bhatia diberikan amanah untuk mengarah adaptasi telenovela Mi Gorda Bella (My Sweet Valentine) yang akan menampilkan pelakon-pelakon terkenal seperti Emelda Rosmila, Jehan Miskin, Mustapha Kamal dan Sheila Rusly.

Telenovela garapan pertama Khabir dilihat seperti meniru bulat-bulat Mi Gorda Bella (My Sweet Valentine).

Manjalara berkisahkan seorang gadis gempal yang bernama Manja (Emelda Rosmila) yang merupakan seorang yang ceria dan manja walaupun seringkali dipersendakan oleh keluarganya.

Manja jatuh cinta pada saudaranya, Eskandar (Jehan Miskin) yang merupakan antara insan yang memahami siapa Manja yang sebenarnya.

Dalam masa yang sama, Manja terpaksa melayan karenah ibu saudaranya, Sahara (Sheila Rusly) yang tamak dan berhasrat merampas harta kepunyaan Manja.

"Kami tidak mengikut jalan cerita telenovela ini 100%. Sebenarnya, terdapat banyak perubahan yang kami lakukan sebagai tindakan untuk membawa identiti Malaysia serta menerap masuk nilai-nilai ketimuran menerusi Manjalara," ujar Khabir, yang juga pengarah filem Cinta.

Katanya, mesej yang ingin disampaikan merupakan sebuah mesej yang amat universal.

"Seperti yang kita tahu Manjalara mengisahkan seorang gadis yang kehilangan bapanya dan mewarisi harta yang banyak. Sayangnya, sikap tamak segelintir pihak keluarganya melihat Manja dipergunakan.

"Malah, susuk badannya yang gemuk turut mengakibatkan dirinya didiskriminasi oleh saudara maranya," jelas Khabir mengenai plot serta subplot Manjalara yang diambil dari Mi Gorda Bella.

Khabir berkata bahawa terdapat beberapa elemen seperti adegan kamar tidur antara lelaki dan wanita tidak akan dilakonkan di dalam Manjalara.

"Memandangkan beberapa adegan yang dilihat kurang sesuai sudahpun dimansuhkan ataupun ditukarkan. Antara contoh watak Farahida (dipegang oleh Ayu Raudah) pada asalnya adalah seorang gadis ghotic.

"Tetapi dalam Manjalara, wataknya diubah menjadi seorang gadis bertudung yang alim dan sentiasa menegakkan keadilan," jelasnya.

Telenovela yang bakal menampilkan 75 episod itu turut menggunakan kostum untuk merealisasikan watak Manja sebagai seorang gadis yang gemuk.

Ketika ditanya mengapakah pihak produksinya tidak mengambil pelakon yang berbadan gempal untuk memegang watak tersebut, Khabir menjawab, "Itulah rahsia yang bakal tersimpul pada penghujung cerita ini nanti."

SYNOPSIS

[AKASIA MANJA LARA] Everyone who knows the young Manja loves her. Her beautiful spirit and sweet disposition make up for her less-than-perfect physical appearance. Food is the salve that soothes her empty heart and nurtures her through the pain of having been exiled into boarding school at an early age. Just when fate seems about to smile on her, tragedy takes her mother�s life and Manja is forced to live under the hateful grip of her Uncle�s menacing wife, Sahara who endeavors to rob her of her inheritance.

Fate�s grim sense of humor then shoots Cupid arrow as Manja falls in love with her cousin, Eskandar who is the only one in the family apart from her uncle, who treats her well. However, she keeps it a secret as Eskandar is after all, her cousin brother. Manja is often taunted by her cruel aunt and cousin sister Ariana. She soon found out Sahara has been creating havoc within her family to get her greedy hands on Manja�s inheritance. Unable to withstand the taunts and her growing secret love for Eskandar, Manja is constantly depressed until her aunt shows up and whisk her away overseas.

Four years abroad and an independent life�s experiences changes Manja. In her sadness and determination to overcome adversity, she loses weight and gained confidence. When Manja left, Eskandar starts missing her and soon realises how much he loves his cute lovely Manja.

Singaporean Drama : The Champion

The Champion [Singaporean Drama]

Synopsis:

Don't you dare miss this idol drama starring the hottest young stars from Singapore and Taiwan! Starring: Qi Yuwu, Jeanette Aw, Fiona Xie, Felicia Chin, Xiao Qiao, Toro, Yan Xingshu, Joey Ng.

Lu Kaixin (Fiona Xie), Guo Jingwen (Jeanette Aw), Wang Tong (Felicia Chin) and He Yilin (Xiao Qiao) are members of the Fei Yu Swimming Team. But they can hardly be considered a �team�, since they remain non-committal to Flying Fish and swimming competitions.

After a pathetic swim meet where only 2 of the swimmers turned up, the manager of Fei Yu decided it is time to whip the girls up into shape.

The new coach, Wu Zhenkang (Yan Xingshu), held the national record for the 50metres freestyle swim. Even in a competitive and materialistic society, he chooses to remain a swimming coach, leading his career-minded wife Huang Anni (Jamie Yeo) to leave him. With his young son Wu Jie in tow, Zhenkang returns to Singapore.

Coaching the lackadaisical swimmers is by no means an easy feat. His strict rules and physical and mental training are met with much resistance from the girls. With various loves, friendship and the run-of-the-mill obstacles strewn along their paths, it remains to be seen which of the girls will emerge a true champion.

The Story

During the summer two years ago, five high-school boys brought fame to a small town in Japan. What was so unique, was that they formed a "men's synchronized swimming club." Their involvement and struggles while learning synchronized swimming-known to be a sport for girls-brought much attention to their school and town.

Two years have passed since that summer, and the boys of Tadano High School are still in the club. The Fuji Television drama "Water Boys" shows how these young boys fight to learn synchronized swimming, fall in love, and enjoy friendship with one another.

South Korean Tv Drama:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNz-jCTY6yU

" Love is All Around " [Korean Drama]
Everyone has first love and this love doesn't always have a happy ending. Even to Bo-Ra comes this first love and an unbearable crisis as well. The guy she loves with all of her heart turns out to be the son of her mother's boyfriend. She didn't know the end of her love would come so soon. Neither did she express her love as much as she could. She never knew that if you lose that opportunity and that moment, love just melts away like ice cream.

Jin, Bo-Ra (Acted by Jang, Na-Ra)
She takes exactly after her mom in every taste and character except for her stubbornness, which she got from her father. That's why though extra very close to her mom, when she gets in a fight with her mom, it becomes more than just huge. But she's also a big girl with the biggest heart enough to go and comfort her mom who's working her night away. One day, she discovers a fan letter on her mom's desk and suggests that her mom remarry. And this is of course when she was not aware of the identity of this fan. She's smart and cool. She's dating Ha-Neul but intends to hide it until she graduates from high school. She keeps telling herself that she won't be a fool like her mom but she's also putting her every hope on her first love, Ha-Neul.

Yeon, Ha-Neul (Acted by Yeon, Jung-Hoon)
He could be a top star. He has hundreds of fans in his school who just go crazy for him. He's tall and handsome. He's also excellent in every sport from basketball up to swimming. Recently he has started fencing lessons as well. He is secretly dating Bo-Ra and eagerly looking forward to welcoming Bo-Ra into university. Even to this Mr. Wonderful lies a dark painful past and it was when his mother and his little sister died by a car accident when he was young. He still secretly keeps the blood-stained doll which had belonged to his sister. Since then, he has poured all his love for just one, Bo-Ra and pledged himself that he'd do anything for her whatever happens. But now he learns that his beloved Bo-Ra is to be his stepsister. This is much more than he can ever bear. Will he be able to accept this harsh reality?

Bravo for South Korean Drama

I find Korean dramas really well produced with lots of good production skills in terms of clothes, fashion, lighting, scenery, landscapes, and very high on sentimentality. Chinese dramas -- you'll have to differentiate between the ones produced in main China or Taiwan.

It's good to improve technical production in the telenovelas, isn't it?

I get to watch a couple of Filipino soaps here too, and so far, they have nothing to do with the Korean/chinese nor the latin american novelas...in terms of production technicalities.

All soap operas have the same stories no matter what their nationality.... simply love, hatred, lust, revenge, sacrifice... what else can there be??

HAALUFA (the champion) Israel Telenovela

by AsianTele Drama

HAALUFA (Middle East Asia)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDId_34YT90

An elite soccer team is undergoing a severe crisis, after its owner commits suicide and leaves it deep in debt. When a rich man buys the team as a gift for his lovely young wife, Meital, the team's star striker Saar welcomes them with open arms, unaware that his life is about to take a vicious turn.

When his teammates, fans and even his wife begin to turn against him, Saar is determined to find the truth behind his crumbling life, convinced that he is faced with a powerful enemy. And indeed, behind his demise stands none other than Meital, a once poor girl named Sima, who experienced her first love with Saar. After he left her to fulfill his dream of playing soccer in Europe, the devastated Meital discovered she was pregnant and complications in the abortion resulted in her inability to ever bare children.

Hungry for revenge, Meital went on to change her name and appearance, evolving into a manipulative woman, who married for money in order to carry out her devious plans. When Meital enters Saar's life again, he does not recognize her, but is crushed when he learns of her true identity. Saar and Meital's relationship, which are the center of this story, go through extreme ups and downs studded with secrets and lies, until Saar reaches the end of his rope, and Meital realizes there is a thin line between love and hate.

Mula Sa Puso (From The Heart)

by brown monkey

Mula Sa Puso (From The Heart)

[Story]
The television series that have inspired and touched the lives of millions of Filipinos for the last three years, Mula Sa Puso is the classic tale of the struggle between good and evil, truth versus lies and deceit, kindness in the face of greed. It is also the story of an overpowering love that defies the boundaries set by an intolerant society, a love that refuses to be destroyed by hatred equal in its intensity. At the center of this is Via (Claudine Barretto), raised like a princess, prepared and pampered for the role she will ultimately take as the heiress to the banking empire her father, Fernando Pereira (Juan Rodrigo) built.
The turmoil in Via's life begins when a group of armed men abducts her during her 18th birthday celebration. The would-be kidnappers are about to kill her when Gabriel (Rico Yan) and Warren (Patrick Garcia), hear her screams and come to her rescue. Gabriel saves Via's life. This ignites the romance between Gabriel and Via and reunites Via to Magda (Jaclyn Jose), adoptive mother of Gabriel and Warren and unknown to Via, her real mother. But things would not be easy for the two. First, Via is already engaged to her childhood friend, Michael (Diether Ocampo). Second, her father does not approve of Gabriel because of his hatred towards Magda. Third, Selina (Princess Punzalan), the sinister aunt of Via is obsessed in making her suffer as a form of revenge towards Fernando. Despite the circumstances, Gabriel and Via struggle to keep their love alive. As the story flows, all the complexities arise like a puzzle but in the end all will slowly fall into place and will form the most romantic love story that has touched millions of viewers in television.

Claudine Barretto

Patrick Garcia

Rico Yan

[Lyrics]:
MULA SA PUSO (from the heart)
Jude Michael -version

Bakit nga ba ang puso pag nagmamahal na
Ay sadyang nakapagtataka
Ang bawat sandali lagi nang may ngiti
Dahil langit ang nadarama

Para bang ang lahat ay walang hanganan
Dahil sa tamis na nararasanan
Kung mula sa puso ay tunay ngang ganyan

Nais ko'y ikaw ang laging yakap-yakap
Yakap na sana'y walang wakas
Sana'y laging ako ang iniisip mo
Sa maghapon at sa magdamag

Init ng pag-ibig ating pagsaluhan
Kung mayroong hahadlang 'di ko papayagan
Kung mula sa puso ay tunay ngang ganyan

Init ng pag-ibig ating pagsaluhan
Kung mayroong hahadlang 'di ko papayagan
Kung mula sa puso ay tunay ngang ganyan

Nais ko'y ikaw ang laging yakap-yakap
Yakap na sana'y walang wakas
Sana'y laging ako ang iniisip mo
Sa maghapon at sa magdamag

Init ng pag-ibig ating pagsaluhan
Kung mayroong hahadlang aking paglalaban
Kung mula sa puso ay tunay ngang ganyan, oooh...
Kung mula sa puso ay tunay ngang ganyan

about Philippines Entertainment

by viet boi

Well, philippines entertainment. I saw a few philippines serie and i have to say, compare to HKnese, chinese, taiwanese and korean serie, they still have much rooms for improvement, like story, scenery, acting!(too fake) and voice(i still can�t stand their voices, maybe it is not their faults, but the sound quality is just bad). But i also have to agree, they have improved in some ways, too. But the actors and actresses are pretty.

Well, music industry. I like Christian Bautista Lea Salonga as singer. The others ain�t that good at all.

Teleserye: Information from Answers.com

by gel

Teleserye

For English counter part, see Soap opera. For Mexican Soap opera, see Telenovela.

Teleserye is the local name of produced soap operas in the Philippines,derived from the terms "tele" short for television and serye, ("series"). They can have different sub-genres; they could be melodramatic, fantasy themed (fantaserye), action (action serye), musical (music-serye), or they could be be derived from movies (sineserye).

Teleseryes are produced by the two main Philippine TV networks ABS-CBN, which is Philippine's largest producer and exporter of Teleseryes and, GMA Network,by the independent company TAPE Inc. and by the movie producer VIVA Entertainment.

History

Soap operas in the Philippines originated in radio, then it expanded into television in early 1960's. The first Filipino TV Soap Opera was "Hiwaga sa Bahay na Bato" in 1963 produced by ABS-CBN.

Soap operas in the Phillipines were usually shown during daytime. Among the most popular daytime soap operas then were, Gulong ng Palad, Annaluna, Mara Clara, Annaliza, Aguila and Valiente. But in 1996, soap opera programmimg was move to primetime due to the popularity gained by mexican Telenovela, Marimar, aired on RPN 9. This is the start of telenovela craze in the Philippines.

ABS CBN made the first Filipino Telenovela on primetime, when it shift the timeslot of Mara Clara from it's daytime programmimg to primetime slot. This move was also followed by it's biggest competitor GMA Network.

In 2000, ABS CBN, made a milestone in Philippine Telenovelas when it introduced "Pangako sa 'Yo", which was known to be the first teleserye, and Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay". These teleseryes became a big hit in the Philippines and likewise to other countries.

Again, in 2004 ABS-CBN introduced a new genre of teleserye which mixes soap opera, fantasy, myth, magic and enchantment.This genre was called Fantaserye. Marina was the first fantaserye.Today fantaseryes are the most viewed TV program in the philippines. Recent surveys by media research firms AC Nielsen and AGB state that fantaseryes have the highest ratings in the evening prime time block.

This coming 2007, teleserye and fantaserye production will again be changed. ABS CBN will be introducing the first filipino Sci-fi teleserye which also incorporate anime genre.Rounin will be the first Sci-fi-Anime teleserye in the history of Philippine television.

Unlike the first season of Star Magic Presents, which presented many stand-alone stories in single episodes, the entire second season of the series is devoted to just one story, with the title Abt Ur Luv.

The story revolves around the lives of four young women -- Neri, Brenda, Celine, and Gwen -- as they experience and fight for true love while they are taking on the challenge of proving to the world that they're full-fledged adults.

Spotlight : Carrie Lee

Miss Malaysia Carrie Lee: A modern-day Cinderella
By Maridol Ra�oa-Bismark
The Philippine Star 02/10/2007

One look at Miss Malaysia 2004 Carrie Lee and you know why Alfred Vargas and LJ Reyes decided to cool off from their relationship. The rumored apple of Alfred�s eyes is not just another pretty face. Her Cinderella story � somewhat akin to another beauty queen, former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres � is for the books.

As a struggling teenager born to a humble family, Carrie had to take on odd jobs just to get by. At 16, she was already working as a waitress and a flower shop staff. At 17, she took on three jobs: for an education software company, a sidewalk caf� as a waitress, and � on Sunday, her supposed rest day � she modeled for another outfit. Out of her earnings, Carrie not only financed her studies, but that of her brothers� and sisters� as well.

Probably because she knows how to handle life�s ups and downs, Carrie was at the receiving end of Lady Luck�s blessings. She was distributing leaflets one day when someone saw her and suggested she join the Miss Malaysia pageant. And, like the magic wardrobe in The Chronicles of Narnia, Carrie stepped into a brand-new world of opportunities and adventures beyond her wildest dreams.

She instantly found a friend in Jackie Chan, whom she met in the Hong Kong airport on their way to a charity project to help the tsunami victims in Indonesia. Carrie also entered Malaysian TV, where she did dramas. She also hosted shows and appeared in a couple of ads not only in Malaysia but also in Hong Kong and Vietnam. This is where her skills in English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Indonesian came in handy.

Fate has never been this kind. Carrie moved out of her humble abode and transferred to more comfortable, spacious quarters. She parlayed her experience as a beauty queen and host to put up her own company. White Fairy � which carries her signature white and pink colors � organizes beauty pageants and other special events.

When she returned to Malaysia from the Philippines where she had a three-week stay recently (she�s back here to tape the soon-to-air GMA afternoon teledrama Muli), Carrie graced the opening of a new branch of her boutique in Kuala Lumpur.

Now that she�s back in the country, Carrie is getting her fair share of intrigues. She�s coy when people ask her the inevitable: Are she and Alfred sweethearts? Ask Alfred, she tells the most curious of reporters.

She has nothing but nice words to describe him though.

"Alfred is handsome, nice and caring. He�ll make an ideal boyfriend," she says.

How can she tell?

"I know by the way he treats people. He treats the rich and the poor equally," she replies.

She showed him around in Malaysia when they went there for some scenes in Muli.

Yes, she admits. Her former boyfriend got jealous of Alfred because his photos happened to be in Carrie�s cellphone. Those photos of them together were taken during their scenes for Muli. But Carrie�s ex didn�t like them any. He promptly deleted them.

Those photos, however, were not the culprits that wrecked havoc in their relationship. It was work. Carrie�s ex, it turns out, didn�t understand her work before the cameras. They come from two different worlds, and never the twain shall meet.

Now Alfred may be steeped in showbiz, but Carrie is mum about the romantic possibilities between them. Give her a break, she has known the guy for only a few months!

He has told her about Boracay and Tagaytay, where Carrie is raring to go, now that she�s on an extended stay here. She�s also getting Filipinized day by day. Carrie admits she adores street food, like dirty ice cream, which she first tasted while taping in Cavite, and the humble taho.

She spent her first three weeks in Manila learning her Tagalog speaking lines in Muli and a smattering of conversational Filipino: "Mahal ko kayo, Kapuso and salamat po," Carrie told visibly amused writers around her.

She�ll learn a lot more as days go by. No, make that several weeks, perhaps months.

Carrie herself is amazed at how she has not felt homesick on any given day she�s in the Philippines. The people are so hospitable and caring, she gushes. And how sinigang and the native crabs make her mouth water!

Best of all, Carrie just can�t get enough of acting. She may have lost her boyfriend along the way, but she has moved on, like she always does.

Carrie Lee is no survivor of life�s school of hard knocks for nothing.

Romantic in a traditional way

by gergoz

Romantic in a traditional way
By Maridol Ra�oa-Bismark
The Philippine Star 02/17/2007

Alfred Vargas is such an old-fashioned romantic he�s the type who will fly all the way to New York to meet the parents of LJ Reyes. Any girl would melt at the first sign of devotion such as this. LJ did � of course. But now, their busy schedules are getting in the way. Alfred admits that though they haven�t broken up, he and LJ are in the cool-off stage.

"I have shows (one of them is GMA 7�s new drama series Muli, to premiere Feb. 19 after Daisy Siete on Dramarama sa Hapon). She herself has one. She also has her studies at La Salle, where she�s a dean�s lister and family obligations to attend to," he adds.

It could also be a case of familiarity breeding, not exactly contempt, but irritation. Alfred thinks he and LJ have been together so often the slightest problem between them leads to arguments. And so, before the flame grows into a burning fire, they decided to distance themselves from each other.

It has not reached the point of no return, for sure. Alfred invited LJ to a Valentine dinner with his mom recently. He even marked the occasion by sending LJ a bouquet of roses.

"We�re more relaxed these days," says Alfred, pointing out that the strain in their relationship is gone. With the stress gone, they can each buckle down to their respective work. Which is just as well.

Alfred is foraging into relatively new territory � drama � on Muli. We first saw him in the Seiko sex comedy Bridal Shower and later in Bikini Open. But we have yet to see Alfred show his flair for drama.

This he does as Muli�s Lukas, who leaves his pregnant wife (Marian Rivera) in the custody of his aunt (Odette Khan) to work in Malaysia. There, he bumps into Cheryl (2004 Miss Malaysia Carrie Lee), who is about to marry a man she doesn�t love. And the plot thickens.

Having a Malaysian as leading lady and Malaysians as co-stars and members of the production crew opened Alfred�s eyes to a lot of things.

The first is that the "language barrier is nothing." You can get along famously as long as you respect each other.

For instance, Carrie observes, Alfred has the utmost respect for Pinoy art and culture. She loves Fort Santiago, where they shot one of the scenes (another location is the world-renowned Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur).

"She�s a superstar in Malaysia. I saw her face on billboards. She�s very elegant and regal, to the point that you�d like to offer her a chair as soon as you see her," gushes Alfred.

If Carrie would have a counterpart in the Philippines, he adds, it would be Miriam Quiambao and Precious Lara Quigaman.

The second lesson Alfred learned from his stay in Malaysia while shooting Muli is that "respect, regardless of nationality, can lead to friendship."

The Malaysian crew hired by the production outfit Creasian Sbn Bhd (the teledrama�s producer together with GMA Network) may have shorter working hours a day.

They put in as much as 14 hours per day on the set (Filipinos can work as much as three days straight, without sleeping). The Malaysian crew, as opposed to their Pinoy counterparts, is confined to TV work alone, and doesn�t cross over to the movies. But the Pinoys don�t take this against them.

What�s more important is that they come up with a teleserye that showcases the best of the Philippines and Malaysia, something both countries will be proud of (Muli will also air in Malaysia).

The teleserye has also taught Alfred that, "even if you�ve found your special someone, it�s still destiny that dictates how things will work out."

Yes, you can bet your last centavo. The guy is an old-fashioned romantic all right.

Pinoy Teleserye in Cambodia

The teleserye �Pangako Sa �Yo� was broadcasted here in Cambodia with Khmer dubbing. If you go to the market during noon, you�ll see all the vendors tuned in to Jericho Rosales speaking in a high-pitched Khmer voice. The teleserye was so popular that many Cambodian babies are named �Angelo.� Right now, Cambodian channels are broadcasting �It Might Be You: with John Lloyd and Bea Lucero. I guess the new babies would now be called Lawrence.

MAALAALA MO KAYA TO AIR IN BRUNEI

MAALAALA MO KAYA TO AIR IN BRUNEI

The country's most-awarded primetime drama anthology begins its conquest of the Asian region this month, as the leading free-television channel of the Kingdom of Brunei Darussalam, begins airing syndicated episodes of Maalaala Mo Kaya starting this Monday, August 30.

This new deal, which was announced by International Sales and Distribution head Reena de Guzman Garingan, places each Maalaala Mo Kaya episode on the late-morning slot, at 11 AM to 12 noon from Mondays to Thursdays.

The Brunei agreement is yet another coup for ABS-CBN's International Sales and Distribution Group, which has already scored broadcasting deals for several of the network's leading teleseryes for the Asian market. Mula sa Puso, known internationally as From the Heart, began the Filipino teleserye sensation in Malaysia when it ran 180 45-minute episodes on a national scale, from Mondays to Fridays. This was followed by Pangako Sa 'Yo (The Promise), which made its stars Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa bona-fide celebrities in the region. Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay (The Long Wait), Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako (The Moment You Need Me) and Sana'y Wala Ng Wakas (Timeless) followed, to similar success. And finally, Pangako sa 'Yo has also been winning over viewers in Cambodia, where it is aired on a UHF channel, dubbed in Khmer.

Selling individual programs to different markets all over the world, ABS-CBN International Sales and Distribution has made the Philippines a name to be reckoned with in international television by providing material appreciated not just by Filipino communities, but by audiences worldwide.

Sana Maulit Muli (Hoping to Happen Again)

Sana Maulit Muli (My Destiny,Hoping to Happen Again)

They say that life is a game of destiny andthat love is a matter of fate. But what if destiny seems to be playinga trick on you? Will you change your destiny if you were given that onechance?
This January, ABS-CBNis proud to open the year with a new addition to the roster oftop-rating shows in its Kapamilya Primetime Bida block, a drama titled Sana Maulit Muli. Theteleserye showcases a love�s whirlwind journey to happiness, starringKim Chiu (Jasmine Sta. Maria) and Gerald Anderson (Travis Johnson). Thelove story of the two begins when their paths cross as stowaways in aship from Cebu. They are separated by time, fate and distance, only tobe brought back together after a series of deceptions. How will the twostar-crossed lovers overcome their destiny which is working againstthem?
Also joining the castare Mickey Ferriols (Emily Sta. Maria, the mother of Jasmine), TontonGutierrez (George Soriano), Glydel Mercado (Clara Soriano) and ErichGonzales (Camille). Ms. Gloria Diaz (Monica Johnson) plays mother toTravis and Jake Cuenca (Brandon) will be her other son. The verymysterious "Mr. Destiny" will be played by Michael de Mesa (MangAndres).
Talented youngstars Neri Naig (Bianca), Mark Bautista (Francis Marquez), ArronVillaflor (Kevin Roque), Marco Aytona (Bruce), Nathan Lopez (RomeoBato), Jeffrey Santos (Arnold Bato), Cheska I�igo (Maria Bato), andintroducing, Little Big Star Season 1�s Kyle Balili (Tam), complete thepowerhouse cast of Sana Maulit Muli.
Helmed by directorsJerome Pobocan and Tots Sanchez-Mariscal, with Executive-In-Charge ofProduction Deo Endrinal, Production Manager Julie Anne R. Benitez,Creative Manager Rondel Lindayag, Executive Producer Brenda LeeEstopacio, Head Writer Reggie Amigo and Writer Philip King, Sana Maulit Muli will surely touch your hearts with its unique look on destiny and loving.

The first local soap to hit television in the Year 2007 is ABS-CBN�s Sana Maulit Muli, a family story of mothers and daughters and the families who love them.

In a way, the cast shows some exciting features.

Tonton Gutierrez who plays the patriach which Jerome Pobocan directs in this TV drama which utilize Gary Valenciano�s popular song, where the soap got its title, insists that this is the first time that he and real-life partner Glydel Mercado play husband and wife in the movies or on TV.

Actually, the story hinges on the mystery behind two mothers and two daughters in this soon to air daily primetime soap which stars also Mickey Ferriols, Kim Chiu, Erich Gonzales, Gerald Anderson and Jake Cuenca.

The fact that Glydel and Mickey play mother in this soap unearths an interesting feature: They are both hands-on mothers. So they aren�t ticklist about play TV mothers to even older childen, Kim and Erich.

Glydel in real life is mother to Aneeza who is two years and five months. When at home Glydel confides she is a full-time mother. When she works -- which isn�t most of the time -- her mommy is in full charge over the other helpers at New Manila (Quezon City) home.

Incidentally, the baby�s name Aneeza comes from Tonton�s real name Antonio Eduardo and Glydel�s Flordeliza.

Glydel who was a grandslam winner as best supporting actress for the Joel Lamangan-Nora Aunor movie Sidhi delights in her motherhood. After all, she makes so secret about her living together in with Tonton for more than six years before they got married in 2004.

Aneeza, Tonton and Glydel tell us, has taken in their "athletic" prowess since the baby has her own version of push-ups and dumbel exercises.

***

Mickey Ferriols, the beloved of Archie Alemania, glows when she talks about son Brent who is now a year old.

After motherhood, she had a lot of time with the baby since her last TV work was Maid-in-Heaven, a 2004 sitcom at the ABS-CBN.

So her maid role to Tonton and Glydel and mother role to Kim Chiu in Sana Maulit Muli is a comeback for Mickey.

She is aware that she has a lot of dramatic moments in this soap. She just hopes that she does justice to a role she considers "challenging".

For Mickey, there is always a first time -- for play a dramatic role, for playing mother to a teenager in this soap.

"Kaya masaya ako at excited with this soap," she tells us.

Indeed, two mothers in real life playing mothers on television are quite interesting to write about.
