The Reasons for the Delay of 'Maria La Del Barrio' and 'Nasaan Ka Elisa?'

Until now all is waiting for the premiere of the two much-anticipated TV series of the Kapamilya network. Almost three months ago the Kapamilya station keep on promoting their so-called "Kapamilya Gold" which includes the best new teleseryes to offer. And two of these soaps were the Philippine remakes of "Maria La Del Barrio" and "Nasaan Ka Elisa?".

Almost all of the "Kapamilya Gold" line-ups like "Mula Sa Puso," "100 Days to Heaven," "My Princess," and "The Biggest Loser" were already shown. Even "Guns and Roses" which is set for the second quarter of the year already premiered. Now where is Elisa and "Maria La Del Barrio"?!


According to reports, the reason for the delay of these two much-awaited TV series is that the Kapamilya network is fixing some issues related to the airing of these new shows. For "Maria La Del Barrio," they replaced some sexy and daring scenes included in the soap. They want to make it more wholesome so that even children can watch the said show and to inline it with the guidelines of MTRCB.

In case of "Nasaan Ka Elisa" which is supposed to be on the daytime block, its two main stars namely Agot Isidro and Albert Martinez had a contract with ABS-CBN stating that their TV series project will be on Primetime. So the TV station will put this newest soap in Primetime in accordance with their contract agreement.



And of course the major reason for the delay is that "wala pang paglalagyan sa Primetime!" Yeah, Primetime Bida line-up is currently overloaded! But preferably, right after the Koreanovela "I Am Legend", "Maria La Del Barrio" will take its timeslot! On the other hand, "Nasaan Ka Elisa?" will replace "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin!"

Now what do you think?!

Rayver Cruz has no problem with working with girlfriend Cristine Reyes

by Bernie Franco

Rayver Cruz confirmed that he will be the leading man of girlfriend Cristine Reyes in the upcoming teleserye Reputasyon. Rayver’s role was first offered to Derek Ramsay who had to decline for personal reasons. The role was next allegedly offered next to Jake Cuenca before Rayver got the part.

“Siyempre natuwa ako, happy ako,” related Rayver when he found out that the role went to him. “Hindi na importante sa akin kung pang ilang choice, ang importante sa akin natutuwa ako kasi napili nila ako. Happy ako, nagpapasalamat ako sa opportunity and at least may show na naman. May mapapanood na naman ang tao, meron ulit tayo work.”

He did not deny that he somehow feels pressured because the first two choices for his role are known good actors. “Pero aayusin na lang ang work and trabaho. Maganda talaga ‘yung role,” Rayver assured.

The actor is also glad because lately, he has been given roles which give him the opportunity to prove himself as a serious actor. “Natutuwa lang ako kasi kada show na magkaroon ako, nage-effort ako. Medyo seryoso, unti-unti na akong nakakaalis sa dating ako na bagets, ‘di ba?”

He added that he is glad not just because he will get to work again with his girlfriend (they worked in the Kristine Series) but also as a co-actors. “Kasi nga masarap siya katrabaho, very professional. Sinasabi ko ito hindi dahil sa girlfriend ko siya, masarap talagang katrabaho si AA (Cristine’s nickname). Magaling pang umarte.”

While many showbiz couples resolve not to work on the same projects to preserve their relationship, Rayver thinks that this does not pose any problem on his relationship with Cristine. “Hindi naman kasi ‘pag kami katulad sa Kristine (Series) ‘pag may time [after takes], may time para magkwentuhan, maglambingan. ‘Pag time ng work, work talaga. May time na ‘pag mabibigat ang eksena, hindi naman kami nag-uusap kahit ‘di kinukunan.”

He continued that he and Cristine try to be professional about work and they don’t let their quarrels affect their performances when they act in front of the camera. “Pag nagkakatampuhan ng maliliit na bagay, wala lang ‘yon. Hindi namin dinadala sa work.” He added that his relationship with Cristine continues to grow stronger.

Maja Salvador denies that she's a playgirl and a 'bilmoko' girl

by: Rachelle Siazon

Maja Salvador refused to be alarmed with rumors that she’s romantically involved with a lesbian and a rich non-showbiz boyfriend. The same newspaper report also accused her of being a playgirl and a high-maintenance type of girlfriend (colloquially referred to as “bilmoko” girl). But she all took it in stride and even turned the controversy into a joke in her Twitter account. “Ang pangalan ng writer [na naglabas ng issue] ay Nanet... Jimbentor... hahaha! Baka gusto mag-guest sa jimbento files!!! Wahahaha. Basta masaya ako, hindi ni’yo ako magagapi,” she tweeted.

When ABS-CBN reporters caught up with her at the recently-concluded Star Awards for movies, however, she admitted that her family and friends couldn’t help but feel affected by the controversies about her. “Siyempre naapektuhan din yung feelings ko lalo na nakalagay dun sa dyaryo na bilmoko girl daw ako [at madaming karelasyon]. May Matteo (Guidicelli), may Coco (Martin), may lesbian lover at may non-showbiz boyfriend pa. So kahit anong ingat ko sa image ko, kahit na kayo, kilala ni’yo naman kami, nakikita niyo naman kami kung saan-saan… Parang hindi lang mabilis agad na matanggap yun kahit hindi naman totoo. Maaapektuhan yung image mo eh, lalo na kapag may endorsements na pumapasok, baka magback out. Kaya ako, tini-tweet ko agad, kini-clear ko agad kasi ayokong madismaya yung mga fans ko.”

The young actress further explained that she had never been involved with a lesbian lover. “Yung tito ko nag-text pa. Bad trip daw siya dahil may lumabas sa dyaryo. Ako sinagot ko lang, kasi yung lesbian na karelasyon ko daw, napakatagal na no’n. Tsaka hello, wala akong naging karelasyon na lesbian. Hindi naman po sa minamasama ko yung mga lesbian o bakla. Nirerespeto ko po sila, pero wala akong naging lesbian na karelasyon.”

As for the persistent rumors about her being called a “bilmoko” girl, Maja stressed that she doesn’t need a wealthy boyfriend for her to be able to indulge in shopping sprees. “Yun nga, gusto ni’yo ipag-shopping ko kayo? Sabihin ni’yo lang sa akin, tatawagan ko kung sino man yun (laughs). Wala talaga, ano ba ‘yan! Kaya ko naman ipag-shopping ang sarili ko kahit papaano. Marami din naman akong paghihirap sa trabaho. So kapag nag-shopping ako, kung nakikita ni’yo ako… Medyo bawas na nga eh, dahil yun sa nagtratrabaho ako. Siyempre minsan hinahayaan ko din naman yung sarili ko na i-enjoy yung pinagtratrabahuhan ko.”

Rachelle Ann Go on John Prats and Bianca Manalo’s rumored romance: ‘Ayoko na pakialaman yun’

by: Rachelle Siazon

Although obviously hurting from their sudden breakup, singer Rachelle Ann Go still refused to say anything bad about John Prats who’s currently being linked to his Happy Yipee Yehey co-host Bianca Manalo. But she was honest enough to admit that it was unfair of him to leave her without any explanation. “Yes, [hiwalay na kami]. Hindi niya ako kinausap eh. Hindi pa talaga kami nag-usap. Siyempre hindi naman ako plastic para sabihing okay talaga kami. Nandun yung may sama ka ng loob, kasama yun. Lahat naman siguro ng babae, kung ilagay yung sarili nila sa sitwasyon ko, siyempre unfair [yung nangyari]. Mahirap, naguguluhan rin kasi ako kaya hindi ko alam ang isasagot ko sa lahat,” she calmly explained.

When told that Bianca previously stated that she doesn’t want to date a guy who leaves his girlfriend just to be with her, Rachelle maintained that she’d rather not comment on that subject. “Kung yun ang sinabi niya, ayoko naman na mag-react sa kanila, ayoko na pakialaman yun. Kung kami ni John ang may problema, yung sa amin lang [ang dapat intindihin ko].”

But if ever she crosses paths with Bianca in the future, the talented singer claimed that there’s no reason for them to avoid each other. “I don’t know her personally. Hindi ko rin alam [kung paano siya nasali sa issue]. Pero oo naman, babatiin ko siya kung sakali mang makita ko siya. Kumbaga, wala naman dapat alitan na mangyari. Hindi ko rin naman alam kung ano nangyari. Kumbaga respeto lang naman.”

When asked if she had a lover’s quarrel with John prior to their split, Rachelle insisted that it’s normal for couples to have misunderstandings from time to time. “Siyempre normal sa relasyon yung ganon. Sa ngayon ayoko muna pag-usapan. Kapag ready na ako sabihin lahat, sasabihin ko naman lahat. Siguro yung closure sa aming dalawa, kailangan din naman siguro yun sa tamang panahon. Mahirap, pero siyempre kailangan tanggapin. Iniisip ko na lang yung brighter side and purpose kung bakit nangyari ito.”

As for Toni Gonzaga’s involvement in this whole controversy, Rachelle admitted that she was equally surprised when she first heard about the former’s slip-up on The Buzz. “Hindi ko kasi alam kung bakit nasabi niya yung ganon. Hindi ko alam kung ano mararamdaman sa bagay na yun. Nagulat ako kasi wala ako sa Pilipinas nun. Pagdating ko na lang, yun na sumalubong na balita sa akin. Mahirap sabihin na [break na kami ni John nung time na yun], kasi hindi pa kami nag-uusap. [Pero since sinabi niya din after nun sa HYY na single siya], right niya yun. Hindi ko naman siya mapipigilan kung anong gusto niya sabihin sa tao.”

On a lighter note, Rachelle was grateful that she’s surrounded by good friends who are all helping her cope with her heartache. One of which is the Popstar Princess Sarah Geronimo whom she constantly keeps in touch with despite their busy schedules. “Oo, ka-Facebook ko siya kahit nasa States siya ngayon. Hahaha! Kung ano mang advice na ibinigay niya, sa amin na lang yun. Pero nakakatuwa lang kasi nandyan sila lahat, sila Erik Santos, Mark Bautista... Buo kaming barkada ngayon. I am happy na nandiyan ang mga kaibigan ko,” she stated.

Gab Valenciano admits that he is pursuing Isabel Oli

by: Bernie Franco

Gab Valenciano revealed that actress Isabel Oli is the source of his inspiration these days. Gary Valenciano’s son revealed that he and Isabel are now in the getting-to-know-each-other stage and that they have gone out a number of times. “She brings out the best in me and I guess that’s the best foundation… as friends. You bring out the best in each other.” He shared that they met each other through common friends and have been in constant communication for three months already.

Gab also said that he is aware about the rumors that Isabel is allegedly dating James Yap. He continued that he talked to Isabel about this because he does not want to rely on hearsay. “As of now, what I know is they are just friends. They are there for each other and [are] really good friends naman. And I guess some people saw it in a different way and James alam mo naman, [because of his] wedding situation [with ex-wife Kris Aquino].”

He added that he wasn’t alarmed when he learned about the issue because being in showbiz he knows that celebrities are prone to controversies. He even cited as example the time when he was romantically linked to his good friend Carmen Soo.

Since it has been two or three years since he last dated, Gab said that he feels like he’s starting anew now that he is pursuing Isabel but is just happy to be inspired. “For what it’s worth she is an awesome person,” he described Isabel.

Dominic Ochoa says doing kontrabida roles has an effect on him offscreen

by: Rhea Manila Santos

Busy with regular tapings for 100 Days to Heaven and Good Vibes, Dominic admitted that he has his hands full in both his professional and personal life as he is also preparing to become a father for the first time. His wife Denise is seven months pregnant with a baby boy whom they plan to name Jose Alesandro. “I’m really excited about it. I’m not getting any younger. I’m of age already so parang gusto ko na talaga. And it’s a baby boy so how can you not be thankful to the Lord and yung binigay niyang biyaya. I want a girl after. Sabi ng asawa ko, ‘Ikaw kaya magbuntis ng siyam na buwan?’ (laughs). I was thinking of naming him Juan Miguel pero parang one of those names lang so Alesandro na lang para something different. It’s an Italian name,” he shared.

Dominic also shared how he manages to spend quality time with his family despite a demanding showbiz schedule. “Sundays is really family day for me. I visit my parents. We visit my wife’s parents. We go to church, eat out, and we spend time together. Ito yung quality time namin with each other. We try to make it a point na eto yung time with the Lord, time as a couple. Para lang maalis sa utak yung trabaho. She’s in the business also. She does makeup so parang ganun din yung negosyo,” he explained.

The 36-year-old actor, who plays antagonist to child actress Xyriel Manabat in 100 Days to Heaven, said that although he is used to playing villain roles, he can’t help but be affected by the negative energy from his characters offscreen sometimes. “I’m the same naman, kenkoy din pero lately nga, I was telling my wife, may pagka-seryoso na rin ako. Yung tipong if I don’t get what I want, parang kailangan ko makuha yung gusto kong gawin. Hindi ko alam bakit ganun, siguro because of the roles rin I’ve been getting lately, yung pagka-kontrabida, nagiging kontrabida ako ‘pag minsan. Siguro it comes with the roles rin siguro that I’m doing, which I hate because nadadala ako, na-i-imbibe ko ng konti eh. Medyo tamed nga ito role ko ngayon then yung sa ginawa ko sa Rosalka. Ang asim kong tao dun eh. Ito at least medyo makatotohanan,” he admitted.

Having been in showbiz ever since he started in the show Gimik in 1996, Dominic said he has always been happy with the way his career has been managed by Star Magic and Backroom. “Hindi na ako aalis dun. Kahit ayaw na nila sa akin, hindi rin ako aalis (laughs). Supposedly, ayoko naman talaga mag-artista eh. It wasn’t really in my dictionary to become an artista but wala lang, siguro ito yung destiny ko na mag-entertain ng tao and I’m enjoying it so much. Sobra-sobrang enjoy na enjoy ako dito sa ginagawa ko. Every role na ibinibigay sa akin, parang it’s a challenge for me on how to make it different from the roles given to me before. I’m happy with the management. Itong negosyo namin, its either you make it or you don’t eh. It’s up to you. Actually hindi rin it’s up to you eh, it’s right timing, it’s also yung tiyaga mo, yung patience mo sa pagbigay sa iyo ng trabaho. At saka you can never go wrong, you’re with ABS-CBN. Ganun naman yung negosyo natin eh, honestly all you have to do is just wait, don’t transfer. Well, kanya-kanya siguro. Medyo nawalan ako ng show sa channel 2 pero actually kung tutuusin, meron din eh. Siguro hindi lang napanuod because it was an afternoon show, that was in 2007, yun yung anak ko si Coco Martin, yung Ligaw na Bulaklak. Hindi ko masasabi sa sarili ko na nawalan ako…yearly talaga meron. Hindi ako nababakante.”
