Another one inspired by a true story, this romantic film is about ex-lovers who meet again.

A sad truth about these movies is their lackluster quality that some of them spent so much for the production but the movies earned less. Even ‘Time & Again’ pulled-out from the cinemas.

But for LizQuen movie ‘Alone/Together’ was a hit. The only sold-out movie among all the other movies the has been screened. They are now on their second week and accordingly they already earned a 7-million gross income as of February 20.

On Tuesday, Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil went to Dubai to attend a sold-out screening of ‘Alone/Together’ at the Reel Cinema in The Dubai Mall.

Despite the continued flop of movies, except for ‘Alone Together,’ producers still have their hopes and continue to produce quality and inspiring movies.

• Liza Soberano’s perception of their partners as being conservative is of being protective of someone they love because it’s a way of showing their affection and care for that person
• “I don’t think he is as conservative as Joshua, because Quen gives me the freedom naman to wear what I want.”
• Liza Soberano shares a friendly conversation with friend Julia Barreto about their love life by comparing which boyfriend is more a conservative

In 2013, the Star Magic batch launched the three brightest stars in showbiz today, namely Liza Soberano, Julia Barretto, and Janella Salvador. The three remained close friends.

During Liza’s interview on “Tonight with Boy Abunda” aired last Thursday, she was asked whether they talked about boys when they talked and got together.

While suppressing a laugh, Liza answered they in fact do and gave an example of their conversations.

“Julia will tell me something about Joshua. It’s a struggle for her also na sobrang conservative si Joshua sa damit niya. She asked me, ‘Does Quen have that problem, too? Is he conservative with you?’ I’m like, ‘Yes, he’s like that also,’” she narrated.

For Liza, perception of their partners to be conservative is being protective for someone they love because it’s a way of showing their affection and care for that person.

“I think it would be normal for any guy to be protective of someone they care about because that just shows that they love or they care about that person,” Soberano said.

During her conversation with Julia, she recalls that she told her, “Yes, he (Gil) is conservative, but I don’t think he is as conservative as Joshua, because Quen gives me the freedom naman to wear what I want.”

Even if Julia has preferred to use nipple tape than a bra, her boyfriend still wants to see her in less revealing clothes; unlike Liza who has the freedom to wear any clothes she wants despite Gil being conservative.

On the same interview in “Tonight with Boy Abunda,” Liza Soberano confirmed that they have been officially together since 2014 and has recently admitted their relationship to the public.

When asked about Soberano, he said that they still haven’t talked to each other.

“Pero pag na-meet ko siya, doon ko palang masasabi ang expectations ko. Pero naniwala si Direk Erik Matti kay Liza, so ‘yung faith niya, I’m sure worth it ‘yung faith na ‘yun. I’m looking forward to work with her.”

And I am just really thankful that I had the chance to work with him and I still want to finish a project with him so hopefully in the future if our schedule permits and there is a really good script that he wants to be directing, I really wouldn’t mind doing another film.”

The director departed from the Darna movie in October because of “creative differences” and it has been a mutual decision between the director and the management.

Liza will continue on with the movie with a new director, Jerrold Tarog as announced recently.

“For right now I think we are going to focus with the movie with Quen because we actually have a due date for the movie, so I think we are going to do that first and Darna has to be focused on by direk Jerrold. He’s taking over now so there are some changes.”

• Character actor Nonong de Andres died on the morning of November 6.
• He became a part of more than a hundred movies since 1980 and has appeared in hit series like ‘Forevermore’ and ‘Bagani.’

Veteran character actor Nonong de Andres whom viewers loved as “Bangky” in the LizQuen teleserye ‘Forevermore’ passed away on November 6, Tuesday.

The sad news was announced on Facebook by his nephew, Powee Capino. He urged everyone to pray for his Tito Nonong who often played the role of ghosts or corpses in local films.

Nonong de Andres’ name and contribution to local films and television may not be stellar but he has carved a niche for himself in all his years of stay in an industry he so loved. Nonong started as an extra in horror and comedy movies from the 1980s to the 1990s. He appeared in more than a hundred films, but decided to leave the industry for  a while due to low pay.

He appeared in films such as ‘The Quick Brown Fox’  (1980), ‘Salamamgkero’ (1986), ‘Ako ang Batas: General Karingal’  (1990), ‘My Funny Valentine’ (1990),  ‘Okay Ka, Fairy Ko!’  (1991), ‘Pangako sa ‘Yo’ (1992), ‘Shake Rattle & Roll V’ (1994), ‘Oki Doki Doc’  (1996), and ‘Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako’ (2012), among many others.

He was asked to take care of his friend’s son until the boy went to the United States to study. In 2005, he began managing a beach resort owned by a mayor. He stuck with it for eight years with the same zealousness with which he dealt with life, both onscreen and off .

Nonong then took on a role in Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil’s hit ABS-CBN series, ‘Forevermore.’ He became part of the “loveteam” BangLi alongside the late Lilia Cuntapay for their roles in the show.

His last appearance was in ‘Bagani.’

Stars react.

Nonong’s former co-stars posted about his passing on their personal social media accounts. Liza Soberano shared her wish to hug her ‘Tito Bangky’ one last time.

Who’s your favorite?

• There has been a number of artists that moved from GMA Network to ABS-CBN.
• DailyPedia listed down some of the current Kapamilya stars who were once Kapuso.

Regine Valesquez’s recent signing with ABS-CBN is one of the most talked about topics this week.

After a month of staying mum about her network transfer, she has been emotional as soon as she stepped inside the premises of the Kapamilya network.

She’s not the only icon that moved from GMA-7 to ABS-CBN. Her husband, Ogie Alcasid, has also transferred, along with others like Janno Gibbs, Jaya and Lani Misalucha.

Here’s the growing list of former Kapuso artists that decided to switch networks in the past:

Richard Guttierez

After being in GMA-7 for more than a decade, Richard officially became a Kapamilya a little more than a year ago. He became a part of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo‘s fantasy series La Luna Sangre. He is also set to star in a movie with Angel Locsin and Angelica Panganiban.

Louise delos Reyes

Prior to transferring to ABS-CBN, she had numerous appearances in GMA-7’s TV shows. When she moved to ABS-CBN, her first project was becoming a part of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano as SPO3 Katrina Velasco.

Angel Locsin

Considered as GMA’s former primetime star, Angel shocked everyone with her decision to change her home network. She has starred in Star Cinema films such as One More Try, Everything About Her, and The Third Party. She has also led the primetime hit The Legal Wife and became one of the judges for Pilipinas Got Talent. She has renewed her contract with ABS-CBN in 2015 and has made an appearance in La Luna Sangre.

She will star in the network’s upcoming series, The General’s Daughter.

Isabelle Daza

Isabelle has been a Kapuso for three years before signing up with ABS-CBN in November 2014. Her first project as a Kapamilya is the upcoming series Nathaniel.

Iza Calzado

After 10 years with GMA-7, she transferred to its rival network in 2012.

She expressed her thankfulness to her previous company and why she made the decision to move to ABS-CBN. “I’m grateful for all my years with [GMA-7], but [my father] was the one with me in wanting new things for me and my career. He wanted me to spread my wings and fly.”

Jake Cuenca

More than a decade ago, Jake has moved from GMA-7 to ABS-CBN. He has been cast in numerous dramas like Maria Mercedes, Rubi, and Palos, wherein he played the main lead, and Ikaw Lamang and Tayong Dalawa as the antagonist.

Cristine Reyes

Not everyone knows that Cristine’s entry to showbiz has been with GMA-7’s artista search program, Starstruck.

She transferred networks 10 years ago and has top-billed several projects such as Eva Fonda, Kristine, Reputasyon, Tubig at Langis, and I Can Do That.

Paulo Avelino

Ellen Adarna

Ellen signed with ABS-CBN last 2013. She admitted that her transfer to the network made a huge impact regarding the recognition she got.

“When I was with the other network, ‘What are you doing now? What are your shows?’ ‘Uh, I’m a part of this show.’ ‘Ay, nandoon ka pala!’ Ibe yung audience ng ABS-CBN talaga. Iba yung impact.”

Toni Gonzaga

Toni has hosted in GMA-7 for seven years until 2005. She continued her career with ABS-CBN, venturing to acting and music. She has released six albums under Star Records and has starred in 11 Star Cinema films.

Elmo Magalona

His first project with the Kapamilya network was the TV series Born for You, wherein he was paired with Janella Salvador for the first time.

Maxene Magalona

Karylle

Karylle has co-hosted GMA-7’s SOP for seven years. She is currently in It’s Showtime.

She can be seen regularly in noontime show It’s Showtime.

Liza Soberano

Liza has previously admitted that she “didn’t feel at home” in GMA-7, wherein she became an artist for only a week. She added that as ABS-CBN’s the one she always watches, it’s really where she wanted to work in the first place.

Jona

After winning Pinoy Pop Superstar, Jona has been one of GMA-7’s most promising singers. She then joined the trio La Diva.

She made a shocking transfer to ABS-CBN in 2017, saying that the network gave her more trust and has promised her a line-up of projects.

• James Reid and Nadine Lustre shared their excitement for the upcoming ABS-CBN Ball.
• The couple said that there is no competition for them as the night is for them to have fun.

It’s nearly time for the ABS-CBN Ball and the fans aren’t the only ones excited about the grand Kapamilya gathering.

Among those thrilled to be attending the event is real-life couple James Reid and Nadine Lustre. It will be the pair’s first time to attend the ball as it used to be exclusive only to Star Magic talents.

They shared that they are ready to have fun with other ABS-CBN artists as they are going to sport matching black outfits.

Well known designer Michael Cinco was the one that made James’ suit while Nadine’s dress is made by Dubai-based designer Garimon Roferos.

The actress shared that she’s really enthusiastic about going to the Ball. “I’m so excited, because I wanna dress up.” 

As they will be joining an estimated 500 artists attending the event, they were asked if they ever think of it as a “competition” of who will stand out the most.

James shared that since it’s their first time, the ball is really for them to enjoy and not mind what people will think. “The ball is really for us…and not what other people think.”

“We’re just there to look great and have fun,” Nadine added.

Other attendees will be Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, MayMay Entrata and Edward Barber, Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil, among others.
