Isa sa ‘Best Dressed Male’ sa GMA Thanksgiving Gala: ALDEN, labis ang pasasalamat sa lahat ng nag-donate ng dugo para lolo na may sakit

LABIS ang pasasalamat ni Asia’s MultiMedia Star Alden Richards sa lahat ng mga donors ng Type O blood para sa may sakit niyang grandfather, si Lolo Danny. 

“On behalf of our dad and our family, we thank all of those who generously donated blood.  We have enough units for now.  And to those who are sending their messages and willingness to donate, maraming-maraming salamat po.  I apologize if we are unable to respond to your messages. We are forever grateful.”

Meanwhile, huminto muna ang taping ng “Start-Up PH” nina Alden at Bea Alonzo last Saturday, July 30, para um-attend sa 2022 GMA Thanksgiving Gala bilang pagdiriwang ng 72^nd anniversary ng Kapuso Network.

Ang theme of the evening is “Old Hollywood.”  Siyempre pa, isa si Alden sa mga Best Dressed Male ng gabing iyon.  He came alone, while si Bea came with boyfriend Dominic Roque.

Pinili naman ng Preview na 10 Best Dressed among the ladies sina Heart Evangelista, who came with husband Senator Chiz Escudero; Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Celeste Cortesi, Kate Valdez, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Gabbi Garcia who came with boyfriend Khalil Ramos, Ysabel Ortega, Julie Anne San Jose na pumasok na ka-holding hands si Rayver Cruz, Kyline Alcantara with Mavy Legaspi, Michelle Dee and the Romantic Pair of the Night, Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes.

TODAY, August 1, ang world premiere telecast ng isang naiibang love story ng bagong GMA Afternoon Prime series na “Return to Paradise,” top-billed by sought-after Kapuso leading man Derrick Monasterio, at introducing si Sparkle artist Elle Villanueva, in her first lead role.

Ito rin ang muling pagbabalik ng versatile and award-winning actress na si Ms. Eula Valdes, after eight years na wala siya sa GMA.

Hindi ikinaila nina Derrick at Elle na pinaghandaan nila ang pagbuo ng chemistry and rapport nila para magampanan ang mga steamy scenes in the series.

“May process po kami as actors and inviduals.  Ginawa naming ang intimate scenes professionally kaya hindi na kami naiilang.  Kinailangan ko rin po na tanungin si Elle ng kanyang limitation kasi ayaw kong maka-disrespect ng co-actor ko.” Dagdag pa ni Derrick.

Kasama rin sa cast sina Liezel Lopez, Teresa Loyzaga, Ricardo Cepeda, Karel Marquez, Kiray Celis, Paolo Paraiso at si Allen Dizon.  Nag-location shoot sila sa magandang island ng Jomalig sa Quezon.

Sa direksyon ni Don Michael Perez, mapapanood ang “Return to Paradise”, 3:25 PM, after ng “Apoy sa Langit.”

NAGLABAS ng official statement ang VinCentiments office ni Director Darryl Yap sa kumakalat na balitang namimigay sila ng free tickets sa showing ng “Maid In Malacanang” na mapanood na sa mga sinehan sa Wednesday, August 3.

Narito ang official statement:

“Starting July 30, cinema tickets are now available in the Philippines and some countries around the world.  Yes, cinema tickets are available just now; go back to your favorite malls and don’t believe the posts of losers.  The office of Senator Imee, Viva Films and even VinCentiments are not giving away free tickets – that is the work of the pinks – they are just passing it on to us.

“The businessmen, local leaders and groups of loyalists who book blockscreenings don’t have directives from us; we didn’t order it – but we won’t stop it either, we are thankful for initiatives like this.  However – with our director looking like money – we can make sure the tickets are not free.

“To our countrymen abroad especially in Dubai, whose schedules are sold-out for 4 days – we are asking you not to increase the ticket price so that everyone can watch; Direk Darryl will personally visit Dubai with the desert cast.”

Reportedly, ang mga tickets daw na ipinamimigay ay concert tickets at papalitan ito ng cinema tickets kung kailan ito ipalalabas sa mga sinehan.  Wala raw tumanggap nito.
