Rocco Nacino Renews Contract with GMA Artist Center


Award-winning actor and one of GMA's prime leading men Rocco Nacino stays loyal to the Kapuso Network as he renewed his management contract with GMA Artist Center last November 18.


Senior Vice President for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable, First Vice President and Head of Regional TV and Synergy Oliver Amoroso, First Vice President for Musical, Variety, Talk and Specials Darling De Jesus-Bodegon, Senior Assistant Vice President for Alternative Productions Gigi Santiago-Lara, GMAAC Assistant Vice President and Head for Talent Imaging and Marketing Unit Simoun S. Ferrer, GMAAC Senior Talent Managers Vic Del Rosario, Daryl Zamora, and Joy Marcelo, showed their full support to Rocco via Zoom and their presence at the Marquee Tent of Edsa Shangri-La Hotel.

Mr. Rafael Nacino, Rocco’s dad and co-manager, also attended the momentous event.


Looking back on his Kapuso journey, the talented actor is filled with gratitude as Starstruck laid the right foundations for him as an artist, "I started late in my early 20s. It was a half-hearted decision to join showbiz. But hindi talaga ako nagsisi because the learnings that I got through Starstruck paved the way for me to be where I am right now. Kung may pasasalamatan talaga ako, of course, it's the network, the executives, but also Starstruck. Three months of grueling workshops to make us into whole artists and to make our mark in showbiz...To be here, to be staying as a Kapuso, it's something I'm very, very proud of and grateful for."

Rocco has come a long way after being named as StarStruck V’s Second Prince in 2012. His iconic role in the Pinoy remake of the hit Korean drama series, 'Descendants of the Sun' as Technical Sergeant Diego Ramos opened up more opportunities for him to showcase his talent and make a name for himself.

Currently, he is one of the lead stars in the top-rating GMA primetime drama series, 'To Have and To Hold’ as Gavin Ramirez.

Despite his growing list of achievements and successful projects, the Kapuso star remains grounded. He added that he refuses to be complacent. Rocco allows himself to feel a certain degree of fear to keep himself disciplined and maintain a positive attitude, "Kahit na tumatatak na sa mga tao ang 'To Have and To Hold', hindi ko hinahayaan na maiwan iyan sa ulo ko at lumaki. So, I always remain scared, na anytime puwede nila akong palitan kaya dapat tama ang ginagawa ko. I make sure I always talk to my managers and the executives for advice on what to do. Kasi hindi ko talaga alam 'yung buong business na 'to. I make sure to do things right, to make decisions with respect, and to honor those who take care of me."

Meanwhile, Rasonable appreciates Rocco's character as an artist and as a person, "Since Starstruck, you have improved and grew as an actor. But more than that, what I like about you is that you give a good example to your co-actors because you finished your education amidst all the busyness of your schedule. You're very well-rounded. You have one of the most important traits an artist should have - perseverance. It is because of that, that we are proud and happy that you're still a loyal Kapuso. Congratulations."

Santiago-Lara, in turn, did not hide her admiration for Rocco's attitude in front of and behind the camera, "Rocco is one of our most talented actors in GMA and GMA Artist Center. We're so happy that he's continuing his journey with us as a Kapuso. We love his work ethic. I think of Rocco as someone who works hard, and he also knows how to play hard. We have always put our trust and our faith in the work that you do, and we thank you for doing the same with us. Congratulations, Rocco!"

Thai heartthrobs Lee Thanat, Singto Prachaya, Pluem Purim, and Foei Patara will satisfy your cravings for ‘kilig’ and sweets in the all-new drama-comedy series “Baker Boys,” which streams for free on iWantTFC as it simulcasts in Thailand.

“Baker Boys” follows the sweet moments and mysteries surrounding the newly opened Sweet Day Café, where customers are treated to mouth-watering desserts and friendly service.

Meet the owner and the lone son of a billionaire, Punn (Lee), who hates sweets but put up the bakery to attract girl customers. He hires the charming chef Weir (Singto), the so-called 'God of Pastry’ who claims he has the ability to make anyone fall in love with him and whose creations keep customers coming back.

Weir will be assisted by his apprentice Krathing (Pluem), a former boxer with a sweet tooth and an enthusiasm to learn baking. There is also Pooh (Foei), Punn’s panicky personal bodyguard who will soon work as a waiter at Sweet Day Café.

As the bakery begins to get popular, the four boys will be shrouded in the controversy caused by the sudden disappearance of a kid. A reporter, Monet (Jamie Juthapich), arrives to look into the case and finds out that the girl mysteriously went missing after she visited Sweet Day Café.

The puzzling case will get even bigger, triggering a hunt for the villain and putting the relationship of Punn, Weir, Krathing, and Pooh to the test as they face the ups and downs of running a business, romance, and friendship.

What will the four boys and Jamie discover about the bakery? Who is to blame for the sudden disappearance of the kids?

Marian Rivera: Ate Z turns 6! My precious daughter, may you continue to be a loving, sweet and kind girl. You’re such a blessing to everyone around you. We miss you dada wish you were here to celebrate with us but thank you for working hard for us. We love you anak! 💕


Dingdong Dantes: For the last six years, this is the first time that I did not have you under my armpits for this long. I can just imagine how your Lolo Jigg felt, when he worked in a cruise ship for months in HKG when i was around 8 years old.

It's kinda hard for me now, but the thought of you being safe and happy there at home with your mom and brother makes me at peace. This last video that we did together definitely makes me miss you more-- you were amaZing! 💪🏻

Don’t worry, when i get back home, we’ll definitely make more memories with these after-dinner songs, which will come after your regular animated storytelling of how your day had transpired.

It has been 20 days since i left and despite the gloominess of this rest day, there is this indescribable feeling of joy knowing that on this day, God has gifted the world with someone like you.

Happy 6th, Ate Z. When you're a bit older, i hope you’ll understand why Dada isn’t with you on this special day.

For now, i’ll just have to play this over and over till I have you back under my armpits again.

Forgive me for posting this, for i can’t help falling in love with you.

Love,

DaD

(Photos) Bea Alonzo is 2022 Tanduay Calendar Girl


Bea Alonzo is Tanduay's Calendar Girl for 2022!

2021 has been a year of changes for Bea Alonzo, and it has also been a year of growth. People not only saw her transfer to GMA from her former mother network of more than two decades; they also saw her become more confident and open to conquering new challenges.

This is what makes her the perfect Tanduay Calendar Girl for 2022, as the brand wanted someone who is brave enough to try new things and is willing to change in order to grow.

She is the Tanduay Calendar Girl we need during these uncertain times. Someone who will remind us that change can be a good thing, but you have to be strong as you breeze through these changes. No stress, just be calm and collected, so you can emerge beautifully out of every situation you are in,” said said Marc Ngo, Tanduay Senior Brand Manager and International Business Development Manager.

He added that Bea is a top-caliber actress, who has remained relevant over the years and even during this pandemic.

She’s going through a transition in her career, a blossoming stage, if you may call it. She values her craft and her authenticity shines through,” Ngo said.

The theme for Bea’s Tanduay Calendar Girl shoot is La Dolce Vita. While she was briefed about the theme, the talented actress was given the freedom to interpret it with direction from the Creative Team.

I was really nervous at first because it was my first time to do a sexy photo shoot (Kinakabahan ako at first kasi first time ko gagawa ng sexy photo shoot),” Bea confessed.


Ngo said that the shoot came out the way they envisioned it.

It was done tastefully with Bea exuding her natural, subtle sexiness into the whole composition. The setting is the countryside, which complemented the calming effect when one looks at Bea,” hesaid.

Bea expressed that she is more than excited to become part of the elite circle of women who became Tanduay Calendar Girls.

Each of them are not only beautiful, but have many admirable attributes as well. They’re strong, independent, and talented,” she said.


Previous Tanduay Calendar Girls include Heart Evangelista, KC Concepcion, Ellen Adarna, Barbie Imperial, and 2021’s Ivana Alawi, among others.

Asked how she felt when she learned that she was chosen to represent the brand for the coming year, Alonzo said that she was surprised at first and ecstatic the next.

Hindi ako makapaniwala! Tanduay kasi is an iconic brand na kilala sa buong mundo at napakadaming natanggap na international awards. Napakalaking karangalan para sa akin na maging Tanduay calendar girl. (I couldn’t believe it! Tanduay is an iconic brand that is known all over the world and has received so many international awards. To be the Tanduay calendar girl is a huge honor),” Bea said.


Bea herself has numerous awards to her name. In 2019, she was declared the “Leading Lady of the Century” by the Film Development Council of the Philippines. She also has several Best Actress awards for movies and TV, and has been a recipient of a Box Office Queen award and a Phenomenal Box Office Star award.

Apart from the Tanduay Calendar Girl project, the company is also exploring other collaborations with the actress.

As for her movie and TV projects for the coming year, fans can look forward to her first primetime teleserye as a Kapuso, and a movie with Embassy Whiskey brand ambassador Alden Richards, among others.

Tibay Tanduay. That’s something we need as we welcome the changes in our life. Have the courage to do something different. It’s only when you open yourself up to changes that you will grow as a person,” Bea said.

Bianca Umali Renews Management Contract with GMAAC, Topbills Tadhana's Anniversary Episode “Kabayaran”


Considered to be one of Kapuso network's most important stars, Bianca Umali recently renewed her ties with GMA Artist Center.

Bianca has nothing but gratitude to GMA for always taking very good care of her career.

"Wala po akong masabi kung hindi thank you sa lahat, sa aking mga boss, sa aking network sa tiwala, sa pagmamahal." 
Coming from her very successful primetime series "The Legal Wives" Bianca is set to headline one of the special episodes of Tadhana’s month-long anniversary this Saturday (November 27) titled “Kabayaran.”

The two-part story - which also stars Jak Roberto, Almira Muhlach, Bench Hipolito, Coleen Paz, Nico Locco, and iconic action star Jeric Raval--features Bianca and Rita playing half-sisters dealing with debts they ‘inherited’ from their late father.

After the death of her mother, Joy (Bianca) is adopted by her father Danilo (Jeric). But unlike her name, what Joy finds in the hands of her stepmom Hilda (Almira) and her half-sister Celine (Rita) are pure wrath and hatred.

When Danilo passes on, the family he leaves behind not only had to deal with the loneliness of his death, they also find themselves as Danilo’s heirs to an unexpected inheritance: his debts that have piled up.

Ever scheming, Hilda and Celine devise a way out of these financial obligations. And not surprisingly, this involves Joy. Will Joy be able to find her way out of her step mom and half-sister’s devious plan?

Catch Bianca Umali and Rita Daniela in “Kabayaran,” the second story of Tadhana’s 4th Anniversary Specials airing November 27 and December 4 with host Marian Rivera, 3:15 p.m. on GMA Network.

Enjoy Fast-Paced Hardcourt Action with PBA 3X3, Live on Smart GigaPlay App


Leading mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) is bringing Filipino fans a whole new kind of basketball experience with the launch of the PBA 3X3 inaugural tournament, streaming live for free on the Smart GigaPlay App starting November 20.

Smart is one with the PBA in giving fans more hardcourt action. The PBA is the perfect venue for the Filipino brand of basketball, and by having the PBA 3X3 games livestreamed on the GigaPlay app, more Filipinos can enjoy basketball right at their fingertips,” said Alfredo S. Panlilio, PLDT Inc. and Smart Communications President and CEO.

This is the closest that we have to street-smart basketball which most of us grew up with, so we are excited to be part of the rise of the PBA 3X3 and be able to deliver it to all basketball-loving Filipinos,” added Panlilio, who is also President of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas.

Recognized by FIBA, the PBA 3X3 allows the Philippines to earn 3X3 points that may help us qualify for the next 3X3 Olympics. The new 3X3 format will also showcase PBA action like fans have never seen before, with 13 debuting PBA 3X3 franchises duking it out in the pilot run of three 13-day conferences.

The participating teams have been grouped in Pool A, Pool B, and Pool C playing a single round robin format with the top three from Pool A and the top two teams from Pools B and C advancing to the quarterfinals. The groupings were finalized during Saturday’s Media Conference launching PBA 3X3 to Philippine media.

The 3X3 basketball game reflects the roots of basketball as the familiar “tatluhan” kids, particularly young Filipinos, grew up playing so expect the PBA 3X3 to exhibit the skills of the players as it puts premium on short but very intense playing minutes. More or less played for about 15 minutes, the PBA 3X3 is perfect for mobile phone viewing.

Expect fast-paced action with little to no room for errors as games during the playoff, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals will all be knockout matches. Unlike full-court basketball action, 3X3 highlights teamwork with three players on each team playing on the court. Each team has four players, one extra man for substitution. Winning team is the first to score 21 points, or most points within 10 minutes with each ball possession have only 12-second shot clock with limited timeouts and breaks.

All the games will be streamed live and for free to Smart subscribers through their exclusive access to the GigaPlay App, the network’s all-in-one video platform. It hosts various content aligned with their subscriber’s passions, such as live sports, live concerts and events, and so much more.

Catch the PBA 3X3 live and for free by downloading the Smart GigaPlay App through the Apple App Store or Google Play. 

To download, click smrt.ph/gigaplay.

Smart subscribers enjoy next-level speeds and seamless video streaming experiences with the country’s fastest and most reliable 5G mobile network as reported by Ookla. To date, Smart has already fired up around 6,400 5G base stations nationwide making it the country's first, fastest, and widest 5G network.

"So sabi ko, pwede pala, pwede pala. Napagbigyan ako ng GMA, nabigyan ako ng romcom. Tapos next show ko after non, Asawa Ko, Karibal Ko,' naging babae naman ako, 'di ba?

The 36-year-old actor also revealed that one of his dreams was to star in a telefantasya.

"Fantaserye, 'yun talaga 'yung gusto kong gawin sa GMA kasi alam mo talaga ang GMA, sobrang galing gumawa ng fantaserye.

"Pero kung hindi naman, kahit anong ibato sa akin, talagang ginagawa ko nang tama kasi gusto kong ma-entertain 'yung mga Kapuso natin."

Jason, who is running for Nueva Ecija Board Member in the 2022 elections, also revealed during the blogcon that he recently received his Master’s Degree in Management, major in Public Administration from Philippine Christian University (PCU).

Barbie Forteza Talks About Her Proudest Moment as a Kapuso, "Dahil sa GMA na-experience kong pag-agawan ng 4 na lalake!"


Award-winning actress and Kapuso Primetime Princess Barbie Forteza remains a loyal Kapuso as she renewed her ties with GMA Artist Center in a contract signing held last Thursday, November 18.

From landing her first major role in the Philippine adaptation of the hit Korean drama series 'Stairway to Heaven' to winning numerous acting awards and headlining various top-rating drama series, Barbie has grown to become one of the most versatile actresses of her generation.

"Sobrang nakaka-overwhelm dahil lahat ng friends ko sa show business ay nagparating ng mensahe. Maraming, maraming salamat. Sa mga bosses ko po dito sa GMA, maraming salamat po. I can't ask for anything more. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift,” she said after signing her contract.

As Barbie looks back on her Kapuso journey, she shared two of her most unforgettable roles, “Isa sa favorite ko ay si Billie Bendiola sa ‘Meant to Be’ dahil ang haba-haba lang ng buhok ko doon. Sa totoong buhay, hindi ko naman naranasan ang pag-agawan ng apat na lalaki pero natupad ng GMA ang dream ko na ‘yon. Sa pelikula naman, ‘yung role ko as Duwokan sa Tuos with the superstar Ms. Nora Aunor… I had so much fun shooting the film, I had so much fun watching it. Nasa-starstruck ako kay Ms. Nora habang pinapanood ko siya, and I also had fun promoting the film.”

GMA Network Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon, Executive Vice President and CFO Felipe S. Yalong, GMA Network Films Inc. President and Programming Consultant to the Chairman and CEO Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, Senior Vice President for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable, First Vice President and Head of Regional TV and Synergy Oliver Amoroso, Senior Assistant Vice President for Alternative Productions Gigi Santiago-Lara, GMAAC Assistant Vice President and Head for Talent Imaging and Marketing Unit Simoun S. Ferrer, Senior Talent Managers for GMA Artist Center Joy Marcelo, Tracy Garcia and GMA Artist Center Consultant Lawrence Tan showed their full support to Barbie via Zoom, video messages, and their presence at the Marquee Tent of Edsa Shangri-La Hotel.

Atty. Gozon is delighted to have a brilliant actress like Barbie in GMA, "With her many successful projects, there is no denying that Barbie is one of the most accomplished, talented, and popular artists of her generation. We are happy that she will continue her long journey as a Kapuso. Congratulations, Barbie."

Similarly, Yalong expressed his admiration for the Kapuso Primetime Princess, "There's no doubt that Barbie is one of GMA's successful homegrown artists. Barbie, congratulations on your contract renewal, and we look forward to many more years of working together."

Gozon-Valdes, on the other hand, assured Barbie that she will continue to reach new heights with the Kapuso Network, "Barbie is one of the most talented actresses in GMA. She's very versatile, she can do rom-com, drama, sing, and dance. You name it, kaya ni Barbie. So, we're very happy that she is renewing her contract with GMA. Marami na tayong pinagdaanan, Barbie, and marami pa tayong mararating and lalo na ikaw sa GMA. Thank you for your trust."

Rasonable shared how proud she is for signing Barbie to GMA years ago, "Taking that trip down memory lane, with the very first program that we worked together on which was 'Stairway to Heaven' where we discovered you and decided we want to have you in GMA. Thank God, we made that decision because seeing you now grow as an actress, host, dancer, and as a person, makes me so proud we made that decision 12 years ago... I'm glad you're still with us and I'm proud you're still a Kapuso."

Finally, Ferrer shared his enthusiasm for Barbie’s new projects in GMA, “I'm very much excited for everyone to see what's in store for Barbie as she renews her contract with GMA. I'm really looking forward for people to watch her as she conquers the different shows that we have lined up for her. We're proud to have you as a Kapuso, Barbie.”

After top-billing the month-long fresh episodes of Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko: Captain Barbie, she is set to play another out-of-the-box character in the Christmas special of 'Wish Ko Lang.’
