Recently, Star Cinema, under the direction of Cathy Garcia Molina, announced the first-ever movie of Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards, who will play the role of an OFW working in Hong Kong.

According to Roxy Liquigan, it took “5 months preparation” to arrange the team-up and there were speculations that the movie will not push through because Alden Richard is exclusively for GMA Network, and there was a possibility that the GMA Artist Center would not allowed him to do the project.

But with the help of Philip Rojas of Asian Artist Agency, headed by Boy Abunda, the project was made possible.

When both artists were asked about their reactions knowing that they would be working together, Kathryn said, “Kung tatanungin niyo ako kung kinakabahan ako, super!” and Alden’s reaction was, “Siyempre, first-time kong makakatrabaho si Kath. We’ve been seeing each other for a long time.”

Kathryn and Alden are known for having strong and loyal fans in their respective love teams, Kathryn with Daniel Padilla for “KathNiel, and Alden with Maine Mendoza for “Aldub.”

But having this new team-up, both their fans positively accepted the upcoming “KathDen” movie.

To show their love and support for both artist they posted their reaction on Twitter.

As a supporter of Alden, I will support all of your project. Way to go Alden #KathrynAldenMovie2019 ❤️ https://t.co/8IFTCWpKbv

But now, they put an end to those rumors when Star Cinema finally confirmed that Alden and Kathryn are set to star in a romance-drama movie under the one of the industry’s best directors, Cathy Garcia Molina.

On March 12, Kathryn and Alden finally met with the managing director Olivia Lamasan and director Molina. Although they haven’t decided the title of the movie yet, the film outfit had confirmed that the movie will come out this year.

They also confirmed that they will start filming the movie next month and most of the scenes will be filmed in Hong Kong. On a Twitter post of ROXYLIQUIGAN,‏ @Roxy_Liquigan mentioned that it took 5 months to prepare for this movie project and thankedAlden for accepting the offer.

In addition to that, this is Alden’s first time to work with director Cathy but for Kathryn, this is her fourth time to work with her.

“This is the first time that I’ll be working with her so it’s a great honor and experience kasi I’m really on the stage of exploring the craft and my capability as an actor,” Alden told the press.

We all know that both stars are part of two leading love teams. Kathryn is with “KathNiel” pairing with Daniel Padilla, while Alden Richards is with “AlDub,” teaming-up with Maine Mendoza.

With the popularity of both love teams, Direk Cathy knew how much fans love the artists saying: “I both respect their fandoms.”

And now, she is appealing to the fandoms of both Alden and Kathryn to support them for the upcoming movie.

“Sana mahalin nila yung dalawa [with the] same [na] pagmamahal kasi hindi naman yung love team nila yung binebenta dito but yung kwento at yung galing nila bilang artista,” she added.

• Hundreds of stars were included in the 2018 Kapamilya Christmas station ID
• But there are still some who were not spotted in the music video.

The internet went crazy when ABS-CBN‘s 2018 Christmas station ID “Family is Love” on Sunday, November 18, during ASAP Natin To.

There has been hundreds of stars seen in the video, which included, Vice Ganda, Coco Martin, Sarah Geronimo, Gary Valenciano, Piolo Pascual, and Regine Velasquez. Loveteams KathNiel, LizQuen, JaDine, JoshLia, and MayWard were also present in the video.

Janno openly expressed his disappointment on Instagram. In his now-deleted post, he told everyone not to look for him at the Station ID because he was not even given the chance to participate.

“Throwback to Sept. 12 this year when I signed with @starmusic.ph. Naalala ko lang. Sila yata di ako naalala e.”

He also replied to one comment saying that maybe it’s because he’s not signed on a network contract, but as far as he knows, as long as you’re a recording artist, you’ll be included on the station ID.

When another netizen suggested for him to return to GMA-7, however, he told that the Kapuso network isn’t giving him any projects.

• KathNiel joins Frontrow Family
• Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla is thankful to be a part of Frontrow Philippines

FRONTROW has become one of the leading direct selling company and the Philippines and it continues to expand. With a set of famous celebrities endorsing it; Bianca Manalo, Cristine Reyes, and Tim Yap to name a few, Frontrow recently announced that another huge pair of celebrities will be joining their family.

KathNiel x FRONTROW

Yes, you got that right. The Teen King and Queen have finally joined the turf of Frontrow family. Launched at an event last February 25, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla are proud to be part of the team. Even though the crowd went a little out of control, the two still stood their ground and showed how grateful they are to be part of Frontrow.

“We’re very happy for being here tonight. Thank you so much dahil sa pag-welcome sa amin bilang bagong family,” the La Luna Sangre actress said. “We’re very excited para sa future project namin and excited na ako na mai-promote sa mas maraming tao pa,” she continued.

On the other hand, Daniel said how thankful he is to the company, “Salamat sa pagbibigay sa amin ng pagkakataon na maging parte ng Frontrow, sa napakalaking pamilya na ito.”

RS Francisco, one of the owners of Frontrow, shared that he once worked with Kathryn in a teleserye. “Kung dati inaalagaan ko na siya kasi kinakandong-kandong ko nga, ganoon din ang ibibigay na alaga ng Frontrow kay Kathryn. Mas aalagaan pa namin siya.”

We still have to wait what these two are up to, but if it’s KathNiel, we surely are willing to wait, aren’t we?

• Vivo launches their newest flagship, V7+
• Kapamilya and Kapuso stars share one stage to celebrate Vivo’s biggest launch

It’s not every day we get to see Kapamilya and Kapuso Stars sharing one stage, right?

Vivo V7 Plus

But Vivo Philippines has that power to make them unite for one big celebration. In the recent grand launch of their newest flagship V7 Plus at the Manila Marriott Hotel, the top 5 leading global smartphone brand takes on the biggest leap to date!

The V7+ is the Vivo’s newest pride in its line of leading-edge smartphones, elevating the brand’s leadership in selfie and smartphone display technology. With that being said, I think they have fulfilled that mission of empowering self-expression of the next generation.

Imagine? A 24MP front shooter camera that provides a selfie that has a quality of those shot using a DSLR! With superb 5.99″ all-screen display and 84.4% screen to body ratio, Vivo has clearly outdone themselves. Another cool spec of this new stunner is the Special Face Beauty 7.0–a setting that brightens up photos and evens out complexions so capturing a selfie moment is not a problem, especially in a dimly-lit environment. Portrait mode, on the other hand, blurs out backgrounds to highlight sharper selfie features. There’s more yet. Hold your breath!

This latest offering from Vivo has the dual-sim (Nano-SIM) and runs on Funtouch OS 3.2 based on Android 7.1 Nougat. Moreover, it rocks a Smart Split 3.0 feature, allowing users to check their messages, mails, among other things without interrupting the currently running app. The smartphone is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC coupled with 4 GB RAM + 64 GB of ROM expandable up to 256 GB.

The security feature is also augmented with its face ID access feature that allows one to unlock the phone with mere facial recognition. An eye-protection mode is also an option, a facet providing comfort and protection during longish phone usage.

Star-studded

The launch was graced by the brand’s growing endorsers. Their ambassadors include Darren Espanto, KZ Tandingan, Chie Filomeno, Maris Racal, Inigo Pascual, Jason Dy, Boyband PH, Julie Anne San Jose, Paul Salas, TJ Monterde, Andrea Brillantes, Tony Labrusca, Kira Ballinger, Barbie Forteza, Loisa Andalio, Kisses Delavin, Maymay Entrata and of course, the teen king and queen Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.

Price?

You can have all of this for only Php. 17,990! A moment of silence here. You can get that Vivo flagship with that amount? A major dibs, perhaps!
