Monasterio shared that he’s very excited about the comeback movie and he’s thankful for those who trusted his skills as an actor.

GMA Films produced some award-winning movies such as Jose Rizal, Muro-Ami, Sa Pusod ng Dagat, Death Row, and a few more others.

After Felipe Gozon took over the film production branch of GMA Network, it was placed on hiatus for about five years.

As they have put out successful movies, they have also produced not-so-successful movies such as Boy Pick-Up: The Movie starring Ogie Alcasid, My Kontrabida Girl starring Rhian Ramos and Aljur Abrenica, Patient X starring Richard Gutierrez and Cristine Reyes, Batanes: Sa Dulo Ng Walang Hanggan starring Iza Calzado and Taiwanese actor Ken Chu of Meteor Garden.

• Rhian Ramos said that she’s grateful to both GMA and ABS-CBN for treating her kindly.
• She added that she’s still happy being a Kapuso.

Despite the network rivalry, actress and television personality Rhian Ramos expressed her gratefulness towards both networks.

In an interview about her movie with JM de Guzman, she expressed the reason why she’s thankful to the two networks after she has been asked if she plans to transfer.

She said that even if she’s from GMA Network, the Kapamilya network never treated her like an outsider. “Hindi nila ako tinuturing na parang outsider, they always let me work with their top leading men.”

The actress admitted that she actually hasn’t received any formal offer for her to change networks, but she doesn’t mind as she’s still enjoying living the best of both worlds.

“I have a station that supports my dreams, GMA, and they’re very understanding towards me with all the things that I want to achieve. I’m also very grateful to ABS-CBN because they’re very kind to me, even if I’m from another network.”

On the other hand, she reassured that she’s still happy being a Kapuso and the reason why she’s not doing any TV shows as of the moment is because she’s not yet “ready.”

Rhian stars in an upcoming movie with JM de Guzman titled Kung Paano Siya Nawala.

“May nag-discriminate sa akin, isang socialite actress. Oo, nagtrabaho na ako noon. Kasi kausap ko ‘yung asawa niya so may kausap din akong friend, most of my friends are boys. So baka kasi dahil nga lumaki ako sa neighborhood ng boys.

“So kausap ko ‘yung asawa niya gani-ganiyan, so ‘yung asawa niya tawa nang tawa because komedyante ako. Alam mo ba humarap sa akin [at sinabi niya] ‘Puwede ba maligo ka pagkatapos niyan ha.’”

• ‘Things I Like’ is now the hottest mobile application now
• Guessing Game no more as ‘Things I Like’ helps you to decide what to give to your friends and family for any occasion

It’s the holiday season again and I’m sure you’re already preparing your gift wishlist. If I got that correctly, might as well I share you an exciting new way of letting your family and friends know what do you want to receive for Christmas or any other occasion.

Guessing game no more

Admit it, even if we know people more than they know themselves, when it comes to gift-giving, our thoughts go blackout. We always say they have everything already. Uhmm.. I know, nonsense. They will always have their gift list, but we are just too shy to ask.

And yes, I have quite a solution for that.

Introducing the Things I Like mobile application. An app created by a tech company based in Hong Kong has finally solved the puzzle. Things I Like aims to let people interact more with each other by posting pictures of what they want to have for their birthday, for Christmas, or for no reason at all.

This is an effective platform for those who struggle with what to give to a certain person or on the other hand, for your friends and family to know what you want for a gift.

Study time

Well, if you’re thinking it’s a complicated app, you’re wrong. It’s as easy as 1-2-3. You just log in via email or you can enter by using your Facebook account.

Voila, here’s what your profile will look like. This will set as the dashboard of all the things you want to get for a specific feast.

And your news feed. Here, you will see the things your friends post on their wall–the gifts they want to receive.

If you want to share what you like, you can repost the things you see on your feed or you upload a photo of it yourself.

After, choose a category. This is typically what occasion or when do you want that gift to be given to you.

For ideas, you can check the ‘Shuffle & Search’ tool where you can find at the bottom left. You can modify the settings in which you can see the posts that have the ‘Most LIKES’ and ‘Most REPOSTS’.

The other good thing about this app is that if you’re a fan of any celebrity we have right now, you can finally know what they want to have. Many celebrities have been using this app for months now. Georgina Wilson, Solenn Heussaff, Pia Wurtzbach, Liza Soberano, Enrique Gil, Rhian Ramos, the most celebrated one Nadine Lustre, and many more.

The app is now available for both iOS App Store and Android PlayStore.
