KC Concepcion willing to do a movie with Richard Gutierrez to end network war
Nelson Canlas

07:06 PM



Napamangha ang marami nang dumating si KC Concepcion sa press conference niya bilang endorser ng Sony Cybershot kanina, February 28, sa Trade Hall 1 ng SM Megmall.



Hindi tinantanan ng media si KC hangga't hindi siya nagpapaunlak ng interview. Hindi maikakaila na uhaw ang media sa mga mga sasabihin ng Megadaughter.



END THE NETWORK WAR. Halata sa mga mata ni KC ang excitement nang tanungin kung nakarating na sa kanya ang offer ng GMA Films na i-produce siya ng pelikula. Kung nagkataon, maaaring maging co-producer ng GMA Films ang rival film outfit nitong Star Cinema ng ABS-CBN. Sa Star Cinema balitang gagawa ng una niyang pelikula ang Megadaughter na posibleng pagtambalan nila ni John Lloyd Cruz.



Sa naturang offer ng GMA Films, makakatambal ni KC ang Prince of Primetime ng Kapuso network na si Richard Gutierrez. Nali-link din ngayon si KC kay Richard.



Kung saka-sakaling tanggapin ni KC ang naturang offer, ito na marahil ang magtatapos sa network war sa pagitan ng ABS-CBN at GMA-7.



"One thing I can say, hindi ako sang-ayon sa network war," pahayag ni KC. "It would be great in the sense na may bigger purpose than just a loveteam. May higher purpose. If this will end the network war, I would gladly do it. Wala namang nangyayari, puro sa diyaryo lang ‘yan. Sana mangyari sa totoong buhay para masimulan na."



Equally excited naman ang GMA Films president na si Annette Gozon-Abrogar nang kumpirmahin niya ang offer kay KC.



"Nagpadala na kami ng feeler sa Star Cinema kung gusto nilang i-co-produce ang KC-Richard Gutierrez movie," kuwento ni Ms. Annette sa PEP. "Kami namang mga film producers, nakatuon sa ikakabuti o sa gusto ng mga manonood. Kaya yung network war, wala naman talaga ‘yan. The film should be for the good of the Filipino viewers."



Dagdag pa ng big boss ng GMA Films, kung maaayos na ang usapan, maaaring hindi matapos ang taon at matutuloy na rin ang pelikula ng dekada.



THE REAL SCORE. Minsan nang sinabi ni Richard Gutierrez habang nasa lie-detector test sa segment ng kanyang birthday special na "A Handsome Journey" na espesyal daw sa kanya si KC.



Kilig na kilig ang mga miyembro ng media kanina nang tanungin ang dalaga kung totoo ngang nagpadala ng bulaklak si Richard sa kanya noong Araw ng mga Puso.



"Buti na lang favorite ko yung flowers na pinadala niya [Richard]!" ang sagot ni KC sa tsismis na labis ikinakilig ng marami.



Nagpadala raw ang binata ng maraming long-stemmed roses noong Valentine's day.



Itinanong din ng GMA Films at PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kung totoo ngang nanliligaw sa kanya si Richard.



"Ask him, ask him na lang. I don't know what his intentions are, but we're friends. If there's anything more that he wants out of it, then that's for him to answer, not for me," sabi ng panganay ni Sharon Cuneta.

FIRST READ ON PEP: KC Concepcion appreciates Richard Gutierrez's sweet Valentine's day gesture

Fresh from the success of her TV acting debut via Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK) last February 15, KC Concepcion admits that she's excited with the thought of finally appearing in a movie—provided that the project is good and worth doing.


"It was really fulfilling," said KC, talking about the entire MMK experience. The press cornered KC earlier today, February 28, at the Mega Trade Hall 1 of the SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City at the launching of Sony's Cyber-Shot Camera, which KC herself is endorsing.


Just like what she did before accepting MMK's offer, KC and the people behind her career are meticulously leafing through and examining all the necessary details of the film projects being tendered.


"Iba-iba po talaga ‘yong mga factors na kinu-consider namin, and we're just looking for the best," said KC. Taking a brief pause, she went on to add: "Because there's only one first, so we're looking for the best na maibibigay sa mga naghihintay, sa audience, kasi priority naman po talaga namin ‘yong audience."


When it comes to guidance, especially in dealing with the ropes of show business, KC need not to look somewhere else.


"She always reminds me na kung may isang taong kailangan kong hingan ng advice, siya ‘yon," confided KC, pertaining to her mom, Sharon Cuneta.


She continued, "Because dito na siya lumaki. Dito na siya nagka-boyfriend, nagka-asawa, nagka-anak... lahat ng first niya. So, I think she's very supportive and very excited on things to come.


SOUVENIRS AND RICHARD. Being an avid fan of photography, KC happily enthused how delighted she was when asked by Sony to endorse its latest state-of-the art camera.


And since she's fond of snapping pictures of close friends and loved ones, many can't help but inquire if she has a photo of young actor Richard Gutierrez saved in her trusted camera.


"Wala na po sa camera, trinansfer ko na," she chided to the amusement of the reporters.


Kidding aside, KC continued, "Marami po kami rito sa camera na ‘to. It's not just one person and hindi naman po normal kung wala akong pictures ng mga kaibigan ko."


Ever since her reported breakup with director Lino Cayetano, KC was instantly linked to the dashing Kamandag lead star. For those who are curious about the real state of her relationship with Richard, KC insists that everything is still pretty much on the platonic level.


"Magkaibigan po ‘yong families namin. Si Tita Annabelle [Rama, Richard's mom], nakikita ko po ‘yan all the time sa bahay ni Tita Helen [Gamboa-Sotto]," she said.


FLOWER FESTIVAL. Last February 14, KC personally wrote a sweet letter to her mom, asking the Megastar to be her date for the special occasion.


"Sinulatan ko ng card, Valentine card, ‘yong mom ko na kung puwedeng siya ‘yong maging Valentine ko for Valentine's day," she revealed.


It was a complete reversal of role according to the pretty endorser. "Because noong bata ako, single pa siya, ako lagi ang sinusulatan niya ng Happy Valentine's so na-miss ko ‘yon," said KC.


The day turned out to be even more special for both mother and daughter. KC confessed that prior to Valentine's day, she and her mom were not going along fine like they used to.

"Actually, naiyak nga ako," KC wistfully recalled. "Nakahawak ako sa binti niya dahil parang may love quarrel kami 'tapos nagkabati kami on Valentine's day. So all night kaming magkasama having dinner and I gave her flowers. I gave her tulips."


Not to be left behind, KC also received a handful of flowers that day. And one of those came from, who else, but Richard Gutierrez.


"I'm thankful to those na hindi ako nakalimutan," she smiled, obviously trying to downplay Richard's sweet gesture. "So, kung meron man akong flowers na natanggap kay Richard, I thank him for that. And I also thank the others that remembered me, to be fair, in fairness meron naman ding nakaalala sa akin."


Fortunately, and despite having to compete with a number of flower senders, the one sent by Richard managed to catch KC's warm approval.


"In fairness nung Valentine's, favorite flowers ko ‘yong pinadala niya, ha," gushed KC.


And what did she receive from ex-beau Lino Cayetano?


"Text," KC replied briefly.


Pressed on her opinion on the news that Lino gave TV host Bianca Gonzales a bunch of flowers, KC jokingly retorted: "Alam ba ni Bianca na may text akong nakuha from Lino?"


Turning serious this time, KC defended Lino and his intentions by saying, "Mabait naman si Lino, so I'm sure, you know, mabait siya sa mga loved ones niya."

Ano ang iyong kamandag? (cast edition)

Article posted February 26, 2008

We have asked our Kapuso stars the question "Ano ang iyong Kamandag?” and enjoyed reading their interesting and at times, even wacky replies.

Now it’s time for the cast of Carlo J. Caparas’ Kamandag to answer this very same question. Could it be their charm, sense of humor or their looks? Their responses are quite a revelation. Text by Loretta G. Ramirez. Additional interviews by Jessa Erick Bien.

February 25 to 29, 2008: Hard Choices
Article posted February 22, 2008

Who should Vergel pick: the woman he loved who turned him away, or the woman who has been there for him since the beginning?

The heart proved to be the most powerful of all last week in Kamandag.

Vergel reunited with the family he never knew, as well as learned that his childhood best friend had feelings for him beyond friendship. And at his mother’s prodding, Vergel forced himself to choose only one of the two women he loved, and he picked Lily.

Unfortunately for the hero, Lily saw him with Jenny--and she thought that he only picked her out of pity.

Meanwhile, Alicia’s life remained in danger as the Ambogs had become desperate that she be returned to the underworld. With Ragona breathing fire down their necks, the Ambogs must learn where the fire-wielding half-human’s missing child was--or Ambograw will burn.

Ikoy was another whose life became endangered. When he didn’t bring in the cash to a local fair expected by his captors, they decide to kill him and sell him to the highest bidding scientist.

And with Ditas under Abdon’s control, he realized he no longer had any need for his good-for-nothing son, Lucero.

What dangers will Kamandag face in the coming week? Follow the trail of the half-man, half-snake every weeknight on Carlo J. Caparas’ Kamandag after the supernatural adventures of Joaquin Bordado.

Eric Morales
Journal Online


SA Week 15, Day 1 ng nangungunang telefantasyang Kamandag, walang awang sasaksakin ni Kuran si Don Pepe at walang magagawa si Alicia para ipagtanggol ang ama.

Kukunin ng mga Ambog si Alicia, kahit pa dumating si Kamandag.

Habang nakikipaglaban ang huli, biglang darating ang isang taong lobo, si Doro, para tulungan siya.

Matitikman ng mga Ambog ang paghihiganti ni Kamandag dahil hindi ito titigil hangga’t hindi nababawi ang inang si Alicia.

Magugulat naman si Lucero na malamang si Don Pepe pala ang lolo niya.

Madaratnan niya itong humihinga pa, ngunit ipatatapos ito ng kanyang amang si Abdon.

Hindi makapaniwala si Vergel nang makita ang lolo na si Pepe.


Sagad hanggang buto ang galit niya, kaya magbabayad kay Vergel ang dapat na magbayad.

Ang lahat ng ito’y mapapanood mamayang gabi, bago mag-Marimar, sa GMA-7.

Marian, Richard tuloy na sa Barbel at Darna
By: Nene Riego
Kapuso

Nang simulan ng Kapuso network ang plugging ng mga forthcoming shows ay kabilang ang Captain Barbel Meets Darna at naging palaisipan kung sino si Darna dahil si Angel Locsin ay naglipat-bahay na.

For a while ay nabanggit ang mga pangalan nina Iza Calzado, Katrina Halili, Cristine Reyes at Rhian Ramos para sa papel ng bagong Darna.

Pero nang pumatok sa takilya ang My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend na showing on its second week at tinatayang mahigit P100M ang ma-giging gross sa box office, luminaw na ang balitang si Marian Rivera na ang gaganap sa Pinoy superheroine na likha ng Komiks King na si Uncle Mars Ravelo.

Although hindi pa nag-verify sa’min ang isang member ng GMA Creative Team, sa ngiti niya’y parang na-confirm na na-ming totoo ang balita. Kung paanong si Rhian naman daw ang bagong Dyesebel na karakter din sa nobela ni Uncle Mars.

Nang makausap nga namin itong si Rhian ay sinabi niyang wala pa si-yang alam. Pero kung pamimiliin daw siya’y parang mas type niya ang Darna role dahil mas maaksyon ito.

Laging nasa tubig at may buntot kasi si Dyesebel at nagiging human lang na may paa at nasa kati pag nahaplos ang mahiwagang kabibe. “Pero kung ano po ang ibigay sa’kin ng network, magpapasalamat din ako,” sabi ni Rhian.

Meanwhile, hanggang Marso pa ang Marimar ni Marian at Kamandag ni Richard. Patapos naman ang My Only Love ni Rhian.

Pagkatapos ng box-office success ng My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend nila ni Marian Rivera ay bising-busy ngayon si Ri­chard Gutierrez sa advance ta­ping ng Kamandag.
Kailangang kunan in advance ang mga eksena ni Richard sa Kamandag dahil aalis siya papuntang L.A. sa Marso 6 para um-attend ng isang awar­ding sa Marso 7 sa Ko­dak Thea­ter sa Hollywood.
Isa si Richard sa awardees sa event na ito.
Bale sa Marso 24 na ba­balik ng bansa si Ri­chard dahil manonood din siya ng fight ni Manny Pacquiao (vs. Marquez) sa Las Vegas, Nevada sa Marso 15.
Mula sa L.A. ay pupunta sa Nagoya, Japan si Richard para sa Kapuso Fans Day roon sa Marso 22.
Sa Marso 23 ay nasa Tokyo, Japan si Richard para pa rin sa Kapuso Fans Day.
Hanggang Abril pa ang Kamandag, kaya pagbalik niya ng ‘Pinas, balik taping pa rin siya para sa kanyang ‘ahaserye’ sa Siyete.

Star-studded at masaya ng 56th birthday party ni Ma’am Wilma Galvante (SVP for Entertainment ng GMA 7) nu’ng Biyernes sa mezzanine ng Imperial Palace Suites.
Present ang pamilya ni Ma’am Wilma, mga kaibigan niya at kasamahan sa Kapuso network. Puno ang venue sa dami ng GMA stars kaya tuwang-tuwa ang birthday girl.
Dinatnan namin doon sina Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, Paolo Contis, Alessandra de Rossi, Tita Annabelle Rama, Tito Douglas Quijano at iba pang bigating talent ma­nagers.
Magkasamang duma­ting ang magkaibigang Katrina Halili at Cristine Reyes. Katabing mesa namin ang mag-sweetheart na Dra. Vicki Belo at Dr. Hayden Kho, Jr.
Si Marky Cielo ang ka-table ni Lovi Poe dahil late dumating si Jolo Revilla kasama sina Sen. Bong Revilla at Lani Mercado.
Sabay dumating sina Janno Gibbs at Bing Loyzaga. Nahilingang umawit si Janno at nag-duet sila ni Dr. Hayden ng The Way You Look Tonight na paborito ni Ma’am Wilma.
Kumanta rin sina Ricky Davao, Eula Valdes, Lovi Poe, Tyron Pe­rez, Rita Iringan (ng Su­garpop) at Lhar Santiago (ng 24 Oras).
Nasa isang table ang Kamandag girls na sina Maxene Magalona, Ehra Madrigal at Jewel Mische. Humabol sa party si Richard Gutierrez at naki-join ito sa kanila.
Dumating din sina Tito Eddie & Raymond Gu­tierrez, Iza Calzado, Wendell Ramos, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Rhian Ramos, Bianca King, Paolo & Bubbles Paraiso, Donita Rose, Joseph Bitangcol, Anjo & Jackie Yllana at marami pang iba.
Hindi nag-abot sina Alessandra at Jeremy Marquez dahil late nang dumating si Jeremy at nakaalis na si Alessandra. Hindi kasama ni Ms. Lucy Torres ang mister niyang si Richard Gomez.
Umapir din sa party si Ruffa Gutierrez para bumati kay Ma’am Wilma mereseng Kapamilya siya at hindi Kapuso. Akala ng marami ay dumating si Angel Locsin, ‘yun pala ay si Glaiza de Castro. Sobrang kamukha ni Glaiza si Angel sa ayos at itsura niya nu’ng gabing ‘yon.
Isa sa mga aligaga sa party ay si Mother Lily Monteverde. Hindi nagbu-ballroom dancing si Mother kaya ‘representative’ niya ang anak na si Ms. Roselle Monteverde-Teo sa special production number ng mga ‘powerful women’ of GMA.
Kasama si Mother Ricky Reyes ay tig-iisang DI (dance instructor) sina Ma’am Wilma, Tita Marivin Arayata, Tita Redgie Acuña-Magno, Ms. Darling de Jesus, Ms. Gigi Santiago-Lara at Ms. Roselle at sama-sama silang humataw ng swing, cha-cha, rumba, foxtrot, at iba pang ballroom chuva.
Hindi kasali sa ballroom number si Tita Lilybeth Rasonable dahil mas gusto niya raw mag-solo. Ganadong magsisayaw sa dance floor sina Direk Joel Lamangan, Direk Manny Valera at Tito Butch Francisco habang tumutugtog ang live band.

TINIYAK na ni Richard Gutierrez walang magiging problema sa ina niyang si Annabelle Rama sakaling mauwi sa ligawan ang friendship nila ni KC Concepcion.

Hindi man sabihin ng diretso ni Richard, luma­labas sa kanyang paha­yag na boto ang kanyang ina kay KC.
Malapit rin daw sa family nila ang Mommy ni KC na si Sharon Cuneta at bilib ang nanay ni Richard sa upbringing ng megastar sa anak.

As of this writing, nagkakasya na lang muna si Richard sa magandang samahan nila ni KC bilang magkaibigan.

Sey ni Richard, baka pagalitan siya ng Mommy niya kapag niligawan niya si KC, tapos, mawawalan din siya ng panahon para sa dalaga.

Pinipigil ni Richard ang sarili na ligawan si KC dahil sunud-sunod pa rin ang kanyang trabaho sa GMA 7.

Biniro namin si Richard na baka kaya subsob siya sa trabaho ay para makabili ng panibagong sasakyan.

Dalawa na ang Porsche ni Richard. Ang una niyang luxury car ay sa dati niyang ka-love team na si Angel Locsin niya unang ipinakita. Ang ikalawa ay kay Marian Rivera na katambal niya sa pelikulang My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend.

Ang ikatlong luxury car nito, kay KC niya unang ipakikita.
Tumawa nang mala­kas si Richard kasunod ang dialogue niyang, “Why not?”.

Speaking of Angel, hindi raw na-offend si Richard sa lumabas na balitang ibinebenta siya ni Angel sa ABS-CBN 2 para lumipat na ito sa nasabing istasyon.

Sabi ni Richard sa mga kausap na press, biro lang ang nasabing banat ni Angel at hindi ito dapat seryosohin.

Wala raw nabago sa pagkakaibigan nila ni Angel kahit magkaiba na sila ng istasyon at may mga pasulput-sulpot na intriga sa kanilang dalawa.
“Hindi ako lilipat. Masaya ako sa GMA 7. I’m happy with my work here. And happy with my bosses.

“They’ve been taking good care of me and my career. Bakit pa ako lili­pat kung masaya naman ako?” sey ni Richard.

Richard, Marian 2008 Box-office King and Queen

By: Ricky Calderon

IT’S confirmed, My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend ang top-grossing Valentine movie produced by GMA Films. Co-produced with Regal Films, mahigit P50 million ang gross nito after four days of release.

Masayang-masaya naman si Richard Gutierrez dahil tinangkilik ng mga tao ang unang tambalan nila sa pelikula ni Marian Rivera.

Sobrang happy rin ang producers dahil sa magandang turn-out ng mga mo-viegoers para panoorin ang pelikula.

Umaasa ang mga producer na mas lalo pang madaragdagan ang kita ng BFGF in the days to come.

Puwedeng lumaban para maging box-office king si Richard ‘pag nagtutuluy-tuloy ang magandang kita sa takilya ng BFGF. Box-office queen naman si Marian ‘pag nagkataon.

Dahil sa super-success BFGF, balitang sobrang naiinggit daw si Angel Locsin kay Marian Rivera. Nakapagsabi pa nga raw ito na sana ay hindi muna siya umalis sa GMA-7 at ginawa muna niya ang kanilang tambalan ni Ri-chard. Dapat kasi ay si An-gel ang ka-love team ni Chard sa BFGF.

"My Best Friend’s Girlfriend" grossed P50 million in a span of four days

Jocelyn Dimaculangan

Marian Rivera and Richard Gutierrez prove to be a good match when their first Valentine movie together grossed P50 million on the first four days of showing in more than 100 theaters nationwide.

Co-produced by GMA Films and Regal Entertainment, My Bestfriend's Girlfriend is a romantic-comedy about two people who come from different backgrounds but found the chemistry to overcome their differences.

BFGF is Richard's fourth Valentine film after starring in Let the Love Begin (2005), I Will Always Love You (2006), and The Promise (2007). The matinee idol starred in the first three films with former GMA-7 contract artist Angel Locsin.

GMA Films president Annette Gozon-Abrogar is very happy about this development. "We are overwhelmed with the box-office success of BFGF. So far, this is our highest grossing Valentine movie on its four days. We hope that the good word of mouth continues to that more and more people will get to enjoy the movie," she says.

Regal Entertainment's Roselle Monteverde-Teo proudly states, "Both Richard and Marian have proven themselves to be number one not only on television but also with the paying audience. This movie is the biggest box-office team up."

Joey Abacan, GMA Films supervising producer, takes pride in his bold forecast prior to the release of BFGF. "Once I was quoted that this is the best Valentine's movie that we have produced so far. I thank God that what I said was confirmed by the numbers. We're happy that our objective to create a quality blockbuster was met in BFGF."

The simple story of this romantic comedy was told on the big screen by director Mark Reyes. "It is really gratifying that the Filipino audience accepted a non-traditional type of story," he says with relief. "It's always tricky to do a romantic comedy in the Philippine context. But with the success of BFGF, it proves that as an audience, our cinematic sensibilities are evolving. A big Kapuso thank you to everyone who watched!"

SYNOPSIS. Evo (Richard) has an awkward encounter with Grace (Marian) at a stag party, only to find out that the girl is his best friend's girlfriend. In exchange for keeping quiet about what happened at the party, Evo asks the girl to pretend to be his girlfriend, just to make his ex (played by Ehra Madrigal) jealous. But as they spend more time together, they find an unexpected love begin to blossom.

My Bestfriend's Girlfriend is currently being screened at cinemas nationwide.

RICHARD MEETS KC’S MOM, SHARON
Mario E. Bautista
Journal Online

WE asked Richard Gutierrez if it’s true that Angel Locsin told him when they saw each other: “Ibinebenta kita sa kabila (meaning, ABS-CBN).”

“She did, pero parang playtime lang ‘yun, biruan lang at hindi seryoso,” he says. “At bakit naman ako lilipat kahit saan when I’m perfectly happy and contented with GMA-7. Hindi ako nawawalan ng show at pelikula. ‘Kamandag’ now is rating very high and our movie, ‘My Best Friend’s Girlfriend’, is a big hit, so there’s no reason for me to think of moving anywhere.”

Now that he’s being linked to KC Concepcion, what does his leading lady in “Kamandag”, Jewel Mische, say about this? Is she jealous? “Wala, bakit naman siya magseselos. Walang dahilan.”

Did he ask the permission of Sharon Cuneta to formally woo KC? “I met her na, she’s very nice and very sweet!”

Does that mean he has visited KC at home and this is where he met Sharon?

It took a while before he answered. “Sa akin na lang siguro ‘yun. Basta na-meet ko na siya a few times. Mabait siya. Kung liligawan ko naman si KC, hindi ko itatago. Naghihintay pa lang ako ng right timing.”

Do we have to wait for Valentine’s Day again before he comes up with a new movie? “Hindi na siguro. I heard itutuloy na raw yung thriller na dapat ginawa ko last year, ‘Dagaw’. I’m really excited kasi this one is not a romance like the type of movies I usually do and it’s the first time for me to be directed by Chito Roño. Sana nga, matuloy na this time.”

Journal Online
Raymond Vargas

GRABE ang pagtanggap ng mga tao sa tambalang Richard Gutierrez at Marian Rivera base sa resulta sa takilya ng BFGF na siyang Valentine offering ng GMA Films at Regal Entertainment.

Todo ang suportang ipinakita ng mga fans ng dalawa ng dumagsa ang mga ito sa sinehang pinagpapalabasan ng naturang pelikula. Sulit naman ang kanilang ibinayad dahil maganda naman at nakakaaliw ang estorya nito.

Mas lalong kinikilig ang mga nanunood sa mga kissing scenes nina Kamandag at Marimar dahil nga bagay na bagay sila. Dagdag pa riyan ang pagka-kikay ni Marian na hindi pilit ang dating.

Dahil sa tagumpay ng nasabing pelikula,tiyak na nag-iisip na agad ang da-lawang produksyon ng follow up movie ng dalawa.

REVIEW
Fun, guilt-free


By Jayson B. Brizuela
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 20:09:00 02/19/2008

Close this MANILA, Philippines—Whenever a local romantic comedy opens with great fanfare (cue shrieking hordes spilling out of cinemas), a big demographic reacts with great caution, sometimes contempt.

Mostly young people weaned on Hollywood, this untapped market avoids local movies in the exact same way that one would avoid being caught with, say, a best friend’s girlfriend.

GMA Films’ “My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend,” directed by Mark A. Reyes, seems about to break that persistent barrier.

Attention to detail

With the polish of a movie fit for Asia-wide release (think Taiwanese or Korean chick flicks) but with an unabashedly local flavor, this guilty pleasure is something that image-conscious young viewers could watch without embarrassment.

A lot of it has to do with the class-crossing theme and, therefore, appeal.

Richard Gutierrez is Evo, a rich, directionless brat who blackmails Grace (Marian Rivera)—his absent best friend’s waitress cum working student and one-time stripteaser girlfriend—into posing as his own, to jilt an ex-fling.

Anyone who has seen a Hollywood-inspired (or copied) local flick will appreciate the attention to detail, which translates to a real-life feel. Evo is presented as a wealthy snob via (more than his Ducati bike, Volvo coupe and expensive clothes) “little” details; for instance, how he acts, talks and walks.

While we’re not sure how much or how little effort Gutierrez put into the role, his portrayal is convincing.

Marian, reportedly of modest middle-class roots, is also perfect as a street-smart, tough-talking girl. She reminds us of the younger Gina Pareño.

But what ties it all together is the script. Granted, “Siyanga pala” should be deleted from a rich boy’s dialogue. Still, overall, conversations, including wisecracks and mild expletives, sound very natural and flow smoothly—by no means a small feat in the context of a Pinoy romantic comedy.

The writing is consistent down to the support cast, and Grace’s stripper friends steal scenes with comedic timing.

Another redeeming value is the film’s ability to change gears in crucial moments. Just when you think it has given in to clichés, funny jokes and witty remarks send the whole theater erupting in laughter.

A few bumps

There are bumps here and there—like scenes where the movie backslides to having the protagonists deliver cheesy lines. The musical scoring is also formulaic. We give a thumbs-up to the non-mainstream songs used, but remakes of sappy tunes merely add clutter.

Admittedly, it’s hard to spot sores when the theater is completely engaged. At Edsa Shangri-La Mall, there was much shrieking, hair-pulling, repressed sighs, and a slew of “aaws” and “oh-my-gods”—from English-speaking, well-dressed kids and yuppies.

KAMANDAG EPISODE 67

A FOLLOW- UP MOVIE FOR RICHARD, MARIAN

AFTER the success of "My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend" at the box office, GMA7 and Regal Entertainment gave a thanksgiving party cum Sunday mass at the Imperial Palace for the cast and the press people who, in one way or the other, helped in selling the movie.

In its four-day run, the movie made more than P50 million. The Sunday showing was a different story. The take doubled, and the Richard Gutierrez-Marian Rivera starrer is now a certified box-office megahit.

With the success of the movie, a follow-up is in the offing. Perhaps, another love story, what else? Richard and Marian’s chemistry is truly commendable

Richard maraming karibal kay KC

By: Tonee Coraza

Whatever Nagbigay ng victory party ang GMA Films last Sunday sa Imperial Palace para sa success ng pelikulang My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend na kumita ng P50M sa unang apat na araw palang nito. Maagang dumating si Richard Gutierrez kasama sina Tita Annabelle Rama at Tito Eddie Gutierrez. Bandang 6p.m. ay nag-start na ang mass at pagkatapos noon ay sinimulan na ang party. Dumating si Marian Rivera nang 8:30p.m. kung saan halos lahat ng press ay nakauwi na. Dinatnan na lang niya sina Mother Lily, Ms. Annette Gozon ng GMA Films at ‘yung ibang cast ng movie tulad nina JC De Vera, Paolo Paraiso, JC Cuadrado, Alex Castro, Chariz Solomon at si Richard. Kung bakit naman kasi lagi na lang late dumating si Marian sa mga presscons. Mukhang siya na nga ang hottest star ngayon ng GMA kasi sa sobrang pagkabusy niya ay hindi na niya magawan na dumating on time sa mga okasyon na tulad nito. * * * Sa victory party ng My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend ay pinutakti si Richard ng mga tanong ng press tungkol kay KC Concepcion. Inamin ni Richard na pinanood niya ang labas ni KC last Friday sa Maalaala Mo Kaya and for a beginner raw ay na-impress siya sa galing na ipinakita ni KC sa pag-arte. Tinext nga raw niya si KC para i-congratulate ito pagkatapos niyang panoorin ang MMK. Sa pangungulit din ng press ay inamin din ni Richard na nagbigay siya ng gift kay KC noong nakaraang Valentine’s Day. Pero ayaw naman niyang sabihin kung ano ‘yun. Basta nagustuhan daw nang husto ni KC ‘yung regalo niya. Ayaw rin niyang tukuyin kung pumunta ba siya sa bahay nina KC para ibigay niya nang personal ang kanyang Valentine’s gift dito. Ayaw niyang sa kanya manggagaling ang mga detalye. Hahayaan na lang daw niya na si KC na lang ang magkuwento kung maiinterbyu ito ng press. Naku, umiral na naman ang pagka-gentleman ni Richard! Hindi naman daw kaya magselos si Jewel Mische dahil niregaluhan niya si KC last Valentine’s Day? “Walang dapat pagselosan si Jewel!”nakangiting tugon ni Richard.

Is a Richard Gutierrez-KC Concepcion movie possible?

Dinno Erece

Is there a possibility of a Richard Gutierrez-KC Concepcion movie?

Second to the last presscon pa lang noon ng My Best Friend's Girlfriend (BFGF) ng Regal Entertainment at and GMA Films, nababalita na ang gumagandang pagtitinginan ng hari ng primetime ng GMA-7 na si Richard at ang pinakabagong prinsesa ng ABS-CBN na si KC.

During the said presscon pa lang, may nakapag-isip na ng isang far-fetched idea na ano kaya kung pagsamahin ang dalawa sa pelikula.

Improbable man ang idea na mapagsama sila sa isang pelikula, mas imposible naman kasi kung sa TV sila magkasama. Richard is an exclusive of both GMA Network and GMA Films, samantalang ganito rin si KC for ABS-CBN and Star Cinema naman.

Hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat ang matinding network war na namamagitan sa pagitan ng ABS-CBN at GMA-7.

However, a GMA Films top brass seems to be toying with the idea.

Sabi nito, they could consider this and try to propose a co-production with Star Cinema mapagsama lang sina Richard at KC. The ball will be on Star Cinema's side kung tanggapin ito.

Isang Star Cinema executive naman ang tinanong namin thru text about this proposal.

While the executive did not say outright na imposible itong mangyari, puwede niya raw itong itanong sa Star Cinema president na si Ms. Malou Santos.

Kung sakaling matuloy ang pagsasama nina Richard at KC sa pelikula, posibleng ito na rin ang magsara sa hidwaang namamagitan sa dalawang pinakamalaking TV stations ng bansa.

Dahil biglaan ang thanksgiving/victory party para sa box office success ng My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend ay muntikang hindi nakapunta sa event na ‘yon ang leading lady ni Richard Gutierrez na si Marian Rivera.

Kasabay kasi ng thanksgiving/victory party ng BFGF ang pictorial ni Marian para sa Dyesebel.
Tumakas sandali si Marian sa pictorial ng Dyesebel, kaya nakapunta siya nang 8:30 PM sa Imperial Palace.

Tuwang-tuwa si Richard sa pagdating ni Marian at panay pa ang bulu­ngan nila, huh!
Pagkatapos ng halos isang oras, nagkaya­yaan na ang grupo (kasama sina JC de Vera, Paolo Paraiso, Bubbles Paraiso, Raymond Gutierrez) na gumimik. Magse-ce­lebrate daw ang magkakaedad.

Eh kailangan daw bumalik ni Marian sa pictorial, kaya nag-dialogue siya na five minutes lang siya sa gimmick ng grupo, pero ayaw pumayag ni Richard at nagkulitan na sila.
Sabay-sabay rin silang umalis at nakibalita na lang ako kung saan sila nagpunta.

Tumuloy sila sa Centerstage sa Tomas Morato Ave., QC at sumunod doon si Ehra Madrigal.

Kami nina Mother Lily, Annabelle Rama, Alfie Lorenzo at Popoy Cari­tativo ay naiwan sa Imperial Palace at nagkuwentuhan.

Almost midnight na kami natapos at masa­yang ibinalita ni Mother Lily na that day (Linggo) ay more than P20M ang kinita ng BFGF

Isang Thanksgiving Mass ang idi­naos sa Imperial Palace Hotel noong Linggo nang gabi para sa box-office success ng My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend.
Du­malo sa misa ng pasasa­lamat ang cast ng pelikula sa pangunguna ni Ri­chard Gutierrez, JC de Vera, JC Cuadrado, Charizze Solo­mon at ang direktor na si Mark Reyes.

Naroroon din sina Mother Lily Monteverde ng Regal Entertainment Inc. at Annette Gozon-Abrogar ng GMA Films.

Pinag-uusapan ng da­lawang film produ­cer na lalong lumakas sa ta­kilya ang My BFGF noong weekend.

Richard, Valentine Box-Office King!
Alfie Lorenzo

UHUM, sana may award-giving body na magdadagdag ng bagong kategorya sa mga pinamumudmod nilang mga tropeo, for sale man o giveaways lang - para sa Valentine Box-Office King na kumpirmado na talagang walk-away winner itong si Richard Gutierrez, dahil apat na beses na nga na movie niya na itinatanghal sa mismong Araw ng mga Puso, ang siyang nanguna sa ta­kilya!

May ibang artista ba, babae man o lalake (o nagpapanggap lang na lalakwe!) ang nakahawak na ng rekord na ‘yan ng kakambal ni Raymond Gutierrez?

Uhum, kung sa ibang kumpanya lang ginawa ni Richard Gutierrez ang apat na pelikulang nagluklok sa kanya bilang top-rater pa ng GMA-7 ay siguradong uulan na ng confetti (na mas mada­mi pa sa isinasabog sa Makati circle) at sari-saring papuri, sandamakmak na write-ups and hallelujah at lalabas sa mahigit isang dosenang TV shows para ipagyabang ang achievements!

Pero bakit quiet lang ang GMA Films at Regal Films na siyang nagsosyo sa puhunan at naghati sa tubo? Scared kaya sa yabang ng kalaban?

Napatunayan na nga­yon na hindi artificial lang ang tagumpay ni Richard Gutierrez. He was but a “nobody” na ginawang bida sa “Let The Love Begin” kapareha ng isa pa ring “nobody” in Angel Locsin at itinapat nila ang showing ng movie na ‘yan sa Va­lentine’s Day presentation ng “Dream Boy” starring ang subok nang Box-Office attraction na si Piolo Pascual na relaxed na relaxed during his promo period for the movie na kuntento at tila siguradung-sigurado na tatalunan ng milya-milya sa takilya itong Richard-Angel starrer.

Kasi naman kapag si Judy Ann Santos ang kapareha ni Piolo Pascual ay hindi bumababa (repeat ha, hindi bumababa!) sa 100 million pesos ang box-office returns ng alinmang mo­vie nila.

Kaya sigurado ang papa ko na mailalampaso ng “Dream Boy” ang “Let The Love Begin”.

But as I have said, written and brag about as always, kinaba­han kami sa maaring ma­ging resulta ng laba­nan sa takilya. Being a newcomer in the game, Richard Gutierrez has nothing to lose.

And Piolo Pascual has his title at stake. At kagaya nga ng pina­ngambahan ko na palagi namang nagkakatutoo - nagpalitan ng title ang dalawang nagsalpukang pelikula sa ta­kilya ng Valentine’s Day.

Kesehodang Araw ng mga Puso ‘yun (na sadya sigurong ginawang Araw ng mga Kapuso?), Richard’s “Let The Love Begin” ay naging “Let The Fight Begin” at ang Dream Boy ng papa ko ay naging “nightmare”. Anoh, naging horror? Yes po, horror of horrors! Atras ang papa ko bahag ang buntot!

Mula noon ay iniwasan na ng Star Cinema na tapatan ang anumang Richard Gutierrez movie, basta on a Valentine playdate. Kita niyo naman at Feb. 27 na ang Sam-bilog-bilog-lumba-lumba mo­vie na ‘yan na pagkaganda-ganda ang chemistry ng mga bida: Sam Milby-Kristine Hermosa? Perfect! Sam Milby - Toni Gonzaga? Proven!

Kahit sinabi ng mommy ni Toni Gonzaga na pang-promo lang ang kuno-kuno eh “MU” nina Sam at Toni. Salamat daw Mommy Pinty, sabi ni Jun Lozada for telling the truth, also!

Ewan kung sino ang nagmamarunong na nag-isip na ang nagdadala lang sa tambalan nina Richard at Angel ay si Angel Locsin, kaya “kinalas” si Angel kay Richard at nagawan ng paraan na mag-ober da bakod ang Angel nilang inakalang makapag­liligtas kay Piolo sa tiyak na pagda-dive down sa popularity niya.

Richard minus Angel? Wala ‘yan! Lulubog na ‘yan! Wala nang ka-partner na sikat! Wala nang hihila sa kanya papataas!

Mga bintang na nag-boomerang at tumama ba sa pader! Tumama sa dala­wang tao. Hulaan niyo na lang kung sino at kanino tumama?

It seems sadyang takot kay Richard Gutierrez ang kung-sinuman. May bina­lak daw (daw lang, ha!) na pang-Va­lentine’s Day movie for Angel Locsin and Piolo Pascual. Pero nu’ng kumalat naman ang balita na si Richard Gutierrez ay may pang-Valen­tine’s Day movie uli with no less than Judy Ann Santos ang kapareha - biglang nawala ang balak ng Star Cine­ma na Piolo-Angel movie na pang-Va­lentine’s Day.

Pinabulaanan naman ng Star Cinema na may binalak silang movie for Piolo and Angel na pang-Valentines, noh! Oh yeah? Tell that to the marines? No - tell that to the senate!

Malakas ang tambalang Piolo Pascual at Angel Locsin, ha? Well, hindi movie ang inunang gawin kundi isang teleserye na “Lobo”.

At ano ang resulta, toprater ba? Hanggang sa araw na ito hindi pa rin makagulapay sa ratings ang “Lobo” na ‘yan. Hindi pa nga nakakalipad eh pumutok na! As of Thursday, February 14, 2008 ang ratings ng “Lobo” ay mababang 22.6% lang as compared sa nag-iisang Richard Gutierrez lang na nawalan ng Angel Locsin na ka-partner, ang “Kamandag” na is on (Sundan sa p. 10) a high 37.3%. Ang tindi talaga ng kamandag ng kambal nina Annabelle at Eddie G., huh!

Pati nga ang “Showbiz Central” ni Raymond Gutierrez ay umaariba rin versus kalabang ate Ruffa nila, huh!

Now where does this argument brings us? To the fact na mapa-pelikula man o mapa-teleserye eh, si Richard Gutierrez na ngayon ang current on top!

Talung-talo na nga niya si Piolo Pascual na ang teleserye ay mababa ang ratings at mas mataas pa ang ratings ng mga unknown kids sa “Kung Fu Kids”.

And pitted against Richard, hindi pa tinalo ni Piolo ang alinmang gross ng movies ni Richard na consistent box-office champion for four consecutive Valentine’s Day.

Piolo Pascual had four consecutive box-office champions too – but that is mga movies lang niya with Judy Ann Santos! Meaning, dinadala lang siya, binibitbit, at pasan-pasan lang ni Juday!

Eh, kay Richard Gutierrez? Siya mismo ang nagdadala sa sarili niya, no one else!

Richard’s “Kamandag” is 37.3% ang ratings at ‘yung kay Marian Rivera na “Marimar” ay unprecedented 40.5% making Richard and Marian the topraters of GMA-7.

Kaya katakataka ba kung ngayong pinagsama ang dalawa sa isang pelikula, itong Valentine’s presentation na “My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend” ay runaway winner sa takilya!

Kumpirmadong ang “My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend” ay ang pinakamalakas na Valentine movie ng GMA Films na co-produced ng Regal Films.

Imabot na sa 50 milyon ang kinita nito sa apat na araw na pagtatanghal pa lang. Hindi padded ‘yan. Unlike sa ibang film outfits na ‘yang 50 million na ‘yan ay gagawin ng 80 million kundi man 100 million agad like the Bea-John Lloyd movie (na tatalakayin namin sa Abante Tonite, basahin mamaya!).

Nagpasalamat na nga ang magkasosyong GMA Films at Regal Films sa isang victory party con-misa nung Linggo at nag-share sila ng blessings nila sa mga reporters na tumulong sa kanila sa publisidad. Unlike (again!) sa ibang producers na sila-sila lang ang nasa victory party kapag di nila type ang artistang kumita ng pelikula sa takilya - tama ba Roxy L.?

Hindi lang sina Richard at Marian ang may napatunayan dito kundi pati na ang direktor nitong si Mark Reyes. Mark directed the MMFFP entry of Bong Revilla na “Resiklo” which won the “best picture” award which should have been his uncle’s Joey Reyes “best picture” “best director” and “topgrosser award” for “Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo”.

Pero tulad sa mga senate investigation na nakakahilo, palibhasa politicians ang mga nagpapatakbo sa MMFFP ay nanalo ngang “best picture” ang dinirek ni Mark Reyes, hindi naman siya ang “best director” kundi ‘yung nagdirek ng movie na hindi naman nanalong “best picture”, noh bah?

But this time, Mark Reyes has proven na puwede rin naman pala siyang magdirek ng movie na kikita sa takilya. “My Bestfriend’s Firlfriend” is a non-traditional type of love story, a tricky romantic-comedy. Now, who can beat that for the moment?

Congrats to Richard and Marian, at patuloy niyong ikalat ang inyong mga kamandag, ha!

Richard at KC, nagtagpo nu’ng Feb. 14!

Rey Pumaloy

MASAYANG-MASAYA si Richard Gutierrez dahil humakot ng pera sa takilya ang unang tambalan nila ni Marian Rivera, ang My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend.

Sa thanksgiving party na ibinigay ng Regal Entertainment at GMA Films last Sunday para sa lahat ng mga nakatulong sa tagumpay ng pelikula, kitang-kita ang mga ngiti sa mukha ni Richard.

Sabi nga ng entertainment writers, puwedeng-puwede na si Richard na tawaging Box Office King.

“Ano ba ‘yung title na ‘yon? May korona ba `yon? He! He! He! He!

“Well, masaya na ako kung anong meron ako ngayon. Magustuhan lang ng mga tao kung ano ang nai-offer ko sa kanila, para na rin akong may title noon,” sabi ni Richard.

Ayaw angkinin ni Richard ang kredito sa tagumpay ng pelikula nila ni Marian. Sabi nga, kahit noong si Angel Locsin ang kapareha niya, malakas na talaga ang mga pelikula niya.

“Hindi ko naman puwedeng angkinin ang credit. Unfair ‘yon. Kami ni Angel noon, team talaga kami,” pagtutol ni Richard.

Sa ngayon, hinihintay naman ni Richard ang pelikulang pagsasamahan nila ni KC Concepcion.

“Kung mangyayari ‘yon, it’s a dream project for me. Malaking honor `yon kung makakasama ko si KC.

“Aside from she’s stunningly beautiful, she’s also intelligent and talented.

She’s a great person inside and out.

“Kapag nangyari ‘yon, malaking bagay ‘yon, dahil malay natin, doon matapos ang network war, ‘di ba?

“I wish mangyari ‘yon. Sino ba tatanggi roon?” nakangiting sambit ni Richard.

Anyway, pinanood ni Richard ang Maalaala Mo Kaya episode sa ABS-CBN na si KC ang bida. Kuwento pa ni Richard, nasa taping siya ng Kamandag nu’ng mga oras na `yon, pero hindi raw niya pinalagpas ang pagkaka­taon na mapanood si KC.

“Magaling siya! For a first timer sa TV, maga­ling siya.

“Actually, nag-promise ako sa kanya na pano­no­orin ko ‘yun. Hindi naman siya nag-insist, dahil ako mismo ang nagsabi na hindi ko palalagpasin `yon.”

Baka naman na-delay ang taping ng Kamandag dahil sa panonood niya kay KC?

“Hindi naman. Nagkataon na wala akong eksenang kinukunan noon. So, nagkaroon talaga ako ng chance na panoorin `yon,” sagot ni Richard.

Sa totoo lang, kapansin-pansin ang pagu-glow ng mukha ni Richard kapag si KC ang pinag-uusapan. At ina­min din ni Richard na naging bahagi si KC ng buhay niya nitong nakalipas na Valentine’s Day.

Bagama’t medyo nahihiyang magkuwento, napilit namin si Richard na sabihin kung ano ang ginawa niya noong Feb. 14.

Sabi niya, nakipaglaro raw muna siya ng basketball sa mga kapatid niya, at kapagkuwan ay nagsama-sama sila ng pamil­ya niya sa isang dinner.

Gusto sanang itigil na ni Richard ang pagkukuwento sa mga ginawa niya noong Feb. 14, pero hindi pumayag ang mga manunulat, at kinulit siya nang kinulit.

“Basta, I gave her something at natuwa naman siya. Huwag na lang ninyong itanong kung paano ko ibinigay, sa akin na lang ‘yon.

“Pero natuwa at nagustuhan naman niya ‘yung ibinigay ko sa kanya,” sabi ni Richard.

Dugtong ni Richard, si KC na lang daw ang tanungin kung ano ang ibinigay niyang regalo rito.

“Ang pangit naman kung sa akin manggaling. Kung sasabihin niya kung ano ‘yon, okey lang sa akin. Basta, mas gusto ko na sa kanya manggaling,” nakangiting say ni Richard.

Anyway, friends lang daw sila ni KC. At masaya na raw si Richard na ganito ang sitwasyon nila ng anak ni Sharon Cuneta.

Teka lang, bakit ba ayaw pa niyang ligawan si KC?

“Darating na lang tayo roon. Kapag dumating ‘yung time na ‘yon, malalaman naman ninyong lahat.

“Proper timing lang. Kasi kagagaling ko lang from a relationship at ganu’n din naman yata siya.

“So, step by step lang. Hindi puwedeng madaliin. Isa pa, busy pa ako sa work ko ngayon, at ganu’n din siya.

“So, kung anong meron kami ngayon, masaya na ako roon,” patuloy na lahad ni Richard.

Anyway, parami nang parami ang mga sinehan ng My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend. Patuloy nga itong dinadagsa ng mga fans.

Fifty million pesos ang kabuuang kinita ng My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend movie nina Richard Gutier­rez at Marian Rivera na pinalabas noong Feb. 13.

Sabi nga, ito na ang pi­nakamalakas sa lahat ng Valentine movies na produced ng GMA Films at co-produced ng Regal Films.

Masayang-masaya nga ang lahat ng stars, production staff, producer at mga taong involved sa movie sa victory party na ibinigay ng GMA at Regal sa Imperial Palace Hotel last Sunday.

Patunay lang na si Richard ang Valentine Box-Office King ng bansa at ma­laking tulong din ang pagsasama nila ni Marian sa movie.

Ayon sa president ng GMA na si Ms. Annette Gozon-Abrogar, overwhelmed sila sa success ng movie at sana, “the good word of mouth continues so that more and more people will get to enjoy the movie!”

Sabi naman ng Regal Entertainment boss na si Roselle Monteverde-Teo, “This movie is the biggest box-office team up!”

Dagdag naman ni Joey R. Abacan na supervising producer ng GMA Films, masaya siya dahil hindi siya nagkamali sa pagsasabing best Valentine movie so far nila ang MBFGF. Kinumpirma kasi ito ng pagtabo sa takilya ng pelikula.

Present sa victory party na ‘yon sina Mother Lily, mag-asawang Eddie Gutier­rez at Annabelle Rama, twin brother Ri­chard and Raymond, JC de Vera, Charise Solomon, at Paolo Paraiso.

After ng MBFGF, siyempre, ang Kamandag muna ang konsentrasyon ni Richard lalo na at patu­loy itong pumapalo sa ra­tings.
