A Second Chance
The romantic drama has already smoked the competition with its massive P300-million opening week gross. This number is more than impressive as we take into account that the John Lloyd Cruz -Bea Alonzo starrer film was released alongside six other Hollywood movies. And if we extrapolate, it would be safe to say that the movie could break box office records set by The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin (2014), considered the highest-grossing local film of all time.
Elmo Magalona
The newest Kapuso who decided to join the Kapamilya talent pool obviously thinks he made a sound decision. Not only warmly welcomed by ABS-CBN executives, he was instantly given a television project. We understand why Kapuso let go of this fine young actor – they’re too busy focusing on just one star. Soon enough they’d realize that they also need a talent like Elmo who is versatile in terms of what he can bring to the table. When that happens, it’s already late.
Sunday Pinasaya
There are ratings records that combusted under the heat of this new player and the casualty is obviously finding it hard to recover. Many doubted that Sunday Pinasaya could compete head to head with ASAP, but their fresh formula is the reason why the latter is struggling to keep its ratings up prompting its management to make some changes and even put Banana Split (now Banana Sundae) on a different timeslot.

General Emilio Aguinaldo: The First Philippine President
EJ Ejercito’s latest film has a very clear message – it is the right film with the correct story and screenplay to inform and educate the new generation of students. It also claims that it’s backed by years of research. But local audiences are more reasonable and discerning now. And we guess they’re not yet ready to see another historical film after Heneral Luna, apart from the fact that they are still hooked with Popoy and Basha. Sorry, the timing was just a bit off.
Kathryn Bernardo
She was also tapped to endorse a presidential candidate whose chance at winning the elections is quite blurred. It is interesting how celebrities like her became part of high-profile political campaigns but what is more intriguing though is the figure that she would receive after the job is done. And whatever her explanation is as to why she’s endorsing the candidate, we already have an impression that it’s all about the money.
Marlo Mortel
His rise as a matinee idol is suddenly hampered when Elmo Magalona transferred to ABS-CBN. We can’t say that the former Kapuso star stole Janella Salvador from him as his regular onscreen partner. Sometimes there are business decisions networks have to make to ensure their stables would have continuous growth. It so happens that he’s the victim of this decision.
