Posted on: August 10th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

GANU’N na lang ang naging pag-iyak ni Elijah Canlas habang nagbibigay ng mensahe hinggil sa pagyao ng kanyang bunsong kapatid na si JM Canlas.

 

 

Pumanaw si JM noong August 3 sa edad na 17. Napanood siya sa mga pelikulang “Kiko Boksingero” at “ANi” at sa TV series na “Unconditional.”

 

 

Sa TikTok video na in-upload ni paulchester2023 ay napanood namin ang madamdaming mensahe ni Elijah bago ilagak ang mga abo ni JM sa columbarium last Sunday. August 6.

 

 

Bahagi ng naging madamdaming mensahe niya ay nagpasalamat siya at hindi raw nila inakala ang dami ng mga nakiramay at nagbigay ng suporta sa kanila.

 

 

Alam din daw niya na marami ang may mga tanong.

 

 

Sey nga niya, “Alam kong marami pong tanong, marami po tayong tanong kung bakit, kung paano, kung ano. Pero gusto ko lang po ipaalam na he’s been battling with this for a while now and he fought a good fight.”

 

 

Inamin ni Elijah na siya rin, dumaan din sa depresyon, pero ang bunsong kapatid daw niya ang isa sa nagpalakas ng loob niya. Kaya para rito, matapang si JM. ‘Yun nga lang, talagang matagal na raw itong lumalaban sa mental health.

 

 

“Sabi nga po ni Daddy kanina, nakilala natin siya bilang masayahin, makulit, may facade na ewan. Pero mabigat na po talaga yung kinakarga niya.

 

 

“Kaya kahit siya na po mismo nagsabi na, he would like all of us to find solace in the fact that he’s in peace right now. Kaya magpasalamat po tayo do’n. Ipagdasal po natin si JM.”

 

 

Nagbigay din si Elijah ng pahayag tungkol sa mental health. Sab inga niya, huwag daw nating maliitin ang mental health.

 

 

“I-check po natin ang isa’t isa at maging mabuti po tayo sa isa’t isa.” aniya.

 

 

“Si JM, ayaw po niya na napagsasabihan, eh, very short po yung patience niya. Ayaw po niya napagsasabihan, mapagalitan, ayaw po niya ng away. Gusto, laging masaya.

 

 

“Kaya gusto rin po naming i-celebrate yung buhay niya. I-celebrate po natin yung buhay niya, ipagdasal po natin siya. Alam ko pong masaya siya na nandito tayong lahat,” umiiyak na pagtatapos ni Elijah.

CRUSH na crush na pala noon pa ni Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste si Kris Aquino. Inamin ito ng politiko sa kanyang panayam kay Butch Francisco for “Pikapika Showbiz” vlog.

 

 

Inalala ni VG Mark nang mag-post si Kris several years ago na open ito for a new relationship at sumagot siya sa comment section.

 

 

“Kalaunan, she allowed me to visit her at her place in BGC at that time, and I would visit her regularly, send her food and flowers. Noon pa man ay malaki na ang paghanga ko sa kanya,” aniya pa.

 

 

Pero nagsimula raw ang kanilang pagkakamabutihan nitong January 1, 2023 nang bisitahin niya ito sa Los Angeles.

 

 

“I texted her days before New Year, I said ‘I’m in town, can I visit you?’ Lo and behold, she replied and allowed me to go to her place. And the rest, as they say, is history. Now, this is our 7th month, going 8th, because August na.”

 

 

Since then ay halos araw-araw na raw silang magkausap. Malapit din daw ang mga anak niya sa dalawang anak naman ni Kris. Ang isang anak niya na nagbabakasyon ngayon sa US at nakatira raw kay Kris.

 

 

Nilinaw din ng politiko na divorced siya, very much single at walang kasabit-sabit. Aniya, very loyal siya kay Kris at wala raw ibang babae sa buhay niya kungdi ito. When asked kung kaya ba niyang panindigan ang fidelity, at mabilis na sagot ng politiko, “yes, of course, fidelity, loyalty, yes.”

 

 

Babalik daw siya sa LA sa Sunday to be with Kris again kaya naman naitanong sa kanya ni Butch kung ‘hello’ na ba ulit at hindi naman pala nagkaroon ng ‘goodbye’ tulad ng post ng Queen of All Media kamakailan.

 

 

“’Yung ‘pause’ na sinabi niya? Ewan ko. Ayokong mag-comment. Ako, ipapasa-Diyos ko ‘yan. I leave my life, even our relationship and status, to God.”

 

 

Pagkatapos nito ay naging seryoso na ang politiko and said, “una sa lahat, ang priority ko naman talaga, ‘yung kanyang paggaling. Kung ako’y nakakatulong man sa kanyang paggaling, ‘yun talaga ang pangarap ko.

 

 

“‘Yun talaga ang aking minimithi. Na gumaling siya sa lalong madaling panahon at mabigyan ako ng biyaya ng ating Panginoon na gamitin ako para sa kanyang paggaling. Anuman ‘yun, Diyos na ang bahala.”

 

 

So there!

“GRAN TURISMO: BASED ON A TRUE STORY” WILL GET YOUR BLOOD PUMPING, SAYS DAVID HARBOUR

Posted on: August 10th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

DAVID Harbour always knew that director Neill Blomkamp (Elysium, District 9) would bring a genuinely exhilarating feel to Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story. But he didn’t realize how authentic his own experience would be while filming the movie.   

 

 

 

“I knew Neill would bring a visceral, blood pumping feel to the movie,” says David Harbour, who plays Jack, a washed-up driver who becomes Jann Mardenborough’s chief engineer and teaches him the ins and outs of a real racecar.

“What I didn’t really know was how much we were going to be working with actual cars, actual drivers, actual tracks. We’re in the cars, we’re doing pit tire changes and gassing up the cars in real-time with other drivers blazing around the track at 200mph. It’s really me in a helicopter flying 30 feet above racecars. It all plays into the intensity of the experience – which is critical to making a film about people having a very intense experience, risking everything for what they love.”

 

 

The actor says that at first, he was skeptical about a movie adaptation of a racing simulator, because for him a movie is not like a videogame. “You want to play the game, to control the characters,” Harbour says. “One of the things I really liked about this movie is that it’s not a movie about a videogame – it’s a movie that incorporates a videogame into its narrative, which is about a young man with tremendous talent who does something incredible, and about a coach who has been through a lot and become hardened – but who comes to believe in this kid.”

 

 

Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story tells the story of videogamer-turned-racecar driver Jann Mardenborough (played by Archie Madekwe). It’s the ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional racecar driver.

One of the reasons Harbour was attracted to the movie was in seeing Mardenborough’s underdog story reflected throughout the characters. “Jack’s story is an underdog story as well,” he says of his character. “He’s suffered, but he still clearly loves this sport and doesn’t have the opportunity to participate in it at the level that he would like to.” And though he starts out cynical, Harbour says, Jack starts to see GT Academy as his chance. “He doesn’t believe in these kids, initially, but he starts to realize he has a real opportunity to teach Jann.”

 

 

Harbour’s respect for the thrilling style of the movie mirrors his character’s understanding of the cars’ power. “On the surface, the dynamic is fraught and tense,” he says. “These kids are coming out of the game world, and he doesn’t believe in them. He’s a man of a different time, a man of mechanics, of machines, of things that work a certain way, and the world is moving on. And he desperately wants them to understand the power of his world – the visceral, the real – that coming out of the screens into this physical world has value.”

 

 

Watch the inspiring true story of videogamer-turned-racecar driver Jann Mardenborough in Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story, opening in Philippine cinemas August 30. Distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
