“It’s his moment at this point!” she says. “No one can question the popularity of his AlDub love team with Yaya Dub or Maine Mendoza in Eat Bulaga. It’s simply phenomenal. He is really a great help and asset to our new show considering not only his mass appeal but artistic talents as well.”

Alden Richards is Sunday PinaSaya’s big come on

The Comedy Concert Queen is happy for Alden’s current success.

“I always tell him that. My initial encounter with him after I moved to GMA, I found him to be very kind and unassuming. I told him right away that he will become a big star because of his good attitude. I instantly saw the determination in him to fulfill his showbiz dream.

“Baby Boy (her term of endearment for Alden) also shared to me that it was his late mom who encouraged him to try the ‘biz. At first, he was hesitant. But when the mother passed away, he made it as his motivation to further his craft and dedicated all his efforts and triumph to her. That’s the reason why Alden is so hardworking. You don’t hear him complain. He’s tops!”

AiAi de las Alas glad she has more projects now at the Kapuso network

As for her own career, Ai Ai is very happy with how it goes at present.

“Honestly, I’m grateful to God for all the blessings He showers me with. Since I moved to the Kapuso lot, projects keep on pouring in. It’s continuous and follows a natural flow. After Let the Love Begin, the management cast me in Sunday PinaSaya. There are still a lot of plans for new shows which excite me no end.

 “I’m also slated to do a movie opposite Bosing Vic (Sotto). It’s under APT Films and is intended for the 2105 Metro Manila Film Festival. Alden’s also part of the project after he inked a contract with the said film outfit recently,” she ends.

Character actor Arnold Reyes is both happy and proud to breathe life to the late President Manuel L. Quezon in the re-staging of the play MLQ: Ang Buhay ni Manuel Luis Quezon, Isang Dula, which runs starting Aug. 19 at the new KIA Theater in Cubao.

 “Oh yes!” he avers. “Actually, I’m alternating with Gian Magdangal in the role. It’s an honor to be part of this grand production. If you will remember, this was first staged in 2009, during the 70th anniversary of the founding of Quezon City. This year, as the premiere city is celebrating its 75th founding anniversary, and to commemorate the 137th birth anniversary of President Quezon, the play is brought back.”

This time around, the play, which is under the helm of renowned director and playwright George de Jesus is more catered to the studentry.

“That’s right! It is in adherence to the QC government’s priority to education by providing an option on alternative learning through theater arts production. The production will be a free-viewing experience for all public schools in QC. I think it’s a nice move from the QC government to have this seen by students. After all, it hopes to serve as a catalyst for people to have better awareness and appreciation of the life of the First President of the Philippine Commonwealth.”

Interestingly, the play’s reboot has a twist: it is not a period production all throughout.

“The story is from the point of view of three contemporary students. There will also be a great number of musical parts. It will surely be a wonderful treat to the audience,” Arnold states.
