NAG-SIGN off na si Lovi Poe bilang Mokang sa ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’. Umere ang kanyang last episode sa serye noong Huwebes ng gabi.

Matapos umere ang episode ay nag-post si Lovi ng pasasalamat at mensahe kay Coco Martin at sa buong team kalakip ang video ng kanyang mga eksena sa serye.

“I am truly blessed to have been part of a project that represents my father’s name. It was a first and it will always mean the world to me. My deepest appreciation to Sir Deo, Tita Cory and ABS-CBN for this opportunity. You have given me a missing piece to my puzzle. For that, I will always be grateful.

“A big part of my 2023 was breathing life into a character I have grown to love — what a privilege it was to play Mokang. She was a fighter and she taught me how it is to truly be free. It really was a tough decision for me to make but I have decided to turn the page.

“To my Batang Quiapo team, the depth of your creativity and imagination knows no bounds and I know you will continue to soar high. I will always be cheering for all of you from afar. Mami-miss ko kayo ng malala,” sey niya.

Kasunod nito ay nagbigay siya ng mensahe kay Tanggol at kay Coco bilang direktor at bilang aktor.

Bilang direktor ay nagpasalamat siya kay Coco sa pagpapatuloy nito sa legacy ng kanyang ama.

“To my dearest tagapagTANGGOL, maybe in another life? Direk Coco, my dad’s legacy is in great hands. Salamat at pinagpapatuloy mo,” sey ni Lovi kay Coco.

Pero sabi rin niya, magpahinga rin daw ito.

“Coco, I will always be one of your biggest fans. Please try to get some sleep.”

Sa huli, sinabi niya na, “At sa mga nagmamahal kay Mokang, sobrang mahal ko din kayo. Maraming maraming salamat poe,”

“Inyong tropa, Mokang…now signing off,” ang pagtatapos ni Lovi.

TAGUMPAY ang ’49th Metro Manila Film Festival’ base sa naging post ng MMFF spokesperson na si Noel Ferrer na sa loob ng sampung araw, sumampa na ng 700 million mark.

Kumpara sa kinita talaga ng MMFF noong isang taon, talagang napakalaki ng difference at ‘di malayong sumampa ito ng bilyon habang ongoing.

May bali-balita rin ang posibilidad na ma-extend pa ang 2 weeks showing nito sa mga sinehan.

Ang pelikulang ‘Rewind’ na pinagbibidahan ng mag-asawang Dingdong Dantes at Marian Rivera na pinaka-top grosser sa lahat ay napapanood na rin ngayon sa Guam, USA.

IPINAGDIWANG ni Liza Soberano ang kanyang 26th birthday last January 4 sa pamamagitan ng pagbabahagi ng amazing concept photos.

Sa kanyang IG post, makikita ang series of photos na kinunan ng celebrity photographer na si Shaira Luna noong nakaraang taon, na kung saan in-enjoy ni Liza ang isang rainbow cake.

Caption ng aktres, “They say “You can’t have your cake and eat it too” but life is short so watch me try. Here’s to 26!!

“Been holding on to these amazing concept photos I shot with the incredible @shairaluna a year ago. We were even joking about using them for my 26th birthday post. Jokes on you team, I can finally put these to good use!!! Haha.

“Thank you everyone for the loving messages. Grateful for everyone who makes me feel special by showing their love and support today and everyday!”

(Please don’t take the [middle finger emoji[ too seriously. Just channeling the Tumblr girl angst we all have inside us [face with tears of joy emoji]).”

Samantala, marami naman ang nagulat sa short but sweet message ni Enrique Gil sa kanyang ex-girlfriend na si Liza.

Mismong kaarawan nitong Huwebes, nag-upload ang Kapamilya actor sa Instagram story niya ng photo nila ni Liza at may caption na,

“Happy Birthday our dear hopie!!! I’ll always have your back no matter what. Wish i was there to celebrate your special day [white heart emoji].”

Matagal na ngang napapabalitang tapos na ang mahigit limang taon na relasyon ng LizQuen, kahit wala pa silang inaamin sa publiko.

Noong December 1, 2023, may nasulat na sa isang unreleased interview ni Liza ay inamin daw ng aktres naghiwalay na sila ni Enrique noong October 2022 pa.

Nakiusap daw si Liza na huwag ilabas ang naturang interview sa kanya kaya hindi ito napanood ng publiko.

Anyway, nag-react naman si Liza sa birthday greeting ni Enrique sa Instagram.

“Thank you! Forever grateful for you.,” pahayag ni Liza, na kinakiligan ng netizens.

“So many things can happen in a year, and 2023 was an example for me. 365 days of emotions, up, side, down. It was an intense year of personal growth. It tested my faith and a lot of learnings, wins and losses,” pagpapatuloy niya.

“I couldn’t gather all my emotions, which felt overwhelming—so many sentimental moments, breakdowns, and breakthroughs. I am thankful for all the amazing people I worked with, the perfectly amazing people surrounding me as well and met/gained new friends. I am grateful for all the trust and opportunities given to me. I am thankful for the highs and also grateful for the lows.

“Life comes by surprise, and it’s up to you how you walk through it. Life is a test, and all I know is you have to keep walking and moving forward. Stop for a while, cherish every moment, and think about what was. To everyone who supported me along the way, please know that I am deeply thankful, and I appreciate each one of you.

“Plus, I am thankful that in 2023, I was a noona (DreamMaker) to my dream chaser babies, getting you into the colorful existence of Melanie Dela Cruz (FitCheck) and entering the dark world of Juliana Lualhati (Linlang) plus a glimpse of the charming life of Secretary KIM (What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim).
