The movie - It Takes a Man And a Woman – has officially dislodged Sisterakas as the highest grossing Filipino film, as it has now conquered the top spot in the all-time list released by independent box-office tracker Box Office Mojo.

It Takes A Man and A Woman -  a romantic comedy movie which stars box-office royalties Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz has surprisingly climbed the top spot with a record-breaking P401 Million in gross receipts.

Sarah and John Lloyd thanked their fans and the moviegoers for the overflowing support. 

The movie is graded ‘A’ by the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB), and raked in P32.6 million when it opened on March 30. There was no stopping from there when the “Laida and Miggy” tandem earned P100 million on the fourth day and eventually hitting the P200 million mark in only eight days. The unbelievable but undeniable success of the movie earned P300 million in just two weeks in cinemas nationwide.

It Takes A Man And A Woman – is the third and final series that broke the records of the first two installments of the most successful Filipino romantic-comedy movie series. The first Laida-Miggy film  A Very Special Love  grossed P179.3 million in 2008 and its sequel  You Changed My Life  scored P225.2 million in 2009.

Just what made the Laida Magtalas and Miggy Montenegro played by Sarah and John Lloyd tick with the public?

Real chemistry -  both say that they can already feel each other’s onscreen emotions. 

Theirs is in the same vein as Vilma Santos and Christopher de Leon during their time. Vilma and Christopher had starred in 22 movies in a span of 28 years. They first appeared together in Celso Ad Castillo’s Tag-araw sa Tag-ulan in 1976 and their last film was Mano Po 111: My Love in 2004. Most of these movies made money and were critically-acclaimed -  earning numerous awards and distinction in many award-giving bodies.

Although the Sarah and John Lloyd series may not be as deep in content - its concept has a target market that reacted and trooped to the cinemas overwhelmingly.

Their tandem is magical. Their ability to transcend sparks and butterflies to the big screen is the one factor that nailed the movie’s success.

Theirs is a love team that has credibility - fans know that they are not being fooled and shortchanged into believing that something more than cinematic exists between the two lead stars. Certainly, both Sarah and John Lloyd have deep regard for each for each other and respect each other's space. 

Further – it is a working tandem that is so light and very professional. Inspite of Sarah's limitations, the public is accepting.

In the absence of real-life relationships going on in each’s  Sarah-John Lloyd and Vilma-Christopher tandems – such loyalty and support from the fans and the public can not be over-emphasized. In any language, it's growth and maturity.

Sarah's wholesome image and her "failed" relationships added to her mystery even more. Inspite of being sheltered and thought of as someone not knowing "pain", she is able to come across as a credible actor. 

Sarah has “grown” after their first two movies. On their first two movies together - A Very Special Love and You Changed My Life - there were scenes where it felt like the two will actually kiss yet it never happened.

John Lloyd is officially her first onscreen kiss - a real kiss - Sarah herself confirmed.

We wish to congratulate Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz for the well-deserved feat!

Acting is the ability to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances. For any actor to accomplish this, there are some methods used.

In acting workshop, it is called Sense Memory. It is one of the tools of an actor, an acting technique used  to experience an “emotional recall.”

The conventional use of sense memory helps actors create physical conditions — for example, the feeling of  being slapped, a bad toothache, or a broken arm. It is a method that enables actors to use their emotional release objects on demand. The actor revisits an episode — the ticking of a clock, a hair-pulling incident - and on the spot begins to sob, laugh, or even shake with fear. It's a powerful emotional acting tool when mastered.

On the set of a new teleserye, privileged star PS who was once romantically linked to a dramatic actor DA was going to act out a scene that required for very intense anger.  Before her scene, she called her assistant  to get her handbag and PS took out something from there.

While internalizing and doing sense memory, PS was seen holding and looking fiercely  at a photo of DA. Those who saw her knew in an instant what the photo meant to her at that point.

While DA is happily going through life enjoying his many blessings, PS’ pain and trauma from that relationship hasn’t really left her one bit. But if only for the consolation, at least, she gets to use DA’s photo as a tool.

Some Pleasant Massage

The physical and mental demands of showbusiness are not for everyone; the long hours of waiting, memorization of script, getting into character, not to mention the technicalities while taping, one couldn't possibly handle all of that for long periods of time without taking a break. 

Pretty Boy PB is a highly visible face on television, the big screen, as well as in billboards in the metro. Armed with grace and undeniable good-looks, we can only imagine how he stays blooming inspite of his schedule. 

AA is someone similar to PB, except that he has more depth as an actor. Both of them are staple faces in every form of media, and for that, the audiences remain positively enchanted. What then, is the secret of both these  good-looking actors, who inspite of being sleep-deprived, still manage to appear astonishingly blooming?

Apparently, the secret is a good massage. Some celebrities have them on the set during taping breaks, others prefer going to the massage salon themselves for maximum relaxation. Still others want the privacy of a home service - and AA and PB are very much into it.

But a good massage doesn't seem satisfactory enough for these gentlemen, they also require extra service during these house calls - if you catch my drift. Both are reportedly clients of two attractive male masseurs who regularly visit and service them in their respective homes. Uh oh - there goes the secret.

Knocking Off His Abominable Acts

No one ever thought that attractive ham actor HA is a “kiss and tell” type of a guy – what a let down!

For quite a time, HA was quietly dating pretty star PS regularly. Most people believe they were really into a relationship which they keep denying for a long time. PS is sugar and sweet kind of girl - qualities that guys like HA often tend to abuse. Allegedly, HA took it upon himself that he could take advantage of PS big crush on him.

The gullible PS took the bait, and not long after, the two were secretly dating…until now. Allegedly, it is PS who goes to HA’s place at least once a week to do their thing. Everything would have looked okay and natural – but not when the other half squeals about things that should have been private.

Reportedly, HA goes telling his friends and peers in detail how wild PS is in the bedroom, and everything intimate that goes in there. HA even badmouths the young-looking PS saying obscenities about her “privates.” What can be more cruel that that?

If this is true, is HA’s heart really made of hard stone? He has to remember that acts like this can easily boomerang on him fast. On the other hand, how can he do these things with impunity when he is committed to someone else?

Let us wish AH can get his act together – literally and figuratively. As for PS, you are matured enough to know. You don’t jump into the fire and not get burned, do you?

Kris Aquino May Still Appeal Court Decision on Bimby

Source: www.abs-cbnnews.com

MANILA – The camp of television host Kris Aquino may file an appeal on the denial of the permanent protection order (PPO) against James Yap for their son James “Bimby” Yap Jr.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Thursday, Aquino’s lawyer Frank Chavez said they are seeking to get copies of the reports made by the social worker and the child psychologist, which supposedly became the basis of the rejection of the PPO for Bimby.

“Noong Martes, nag-file kami ng motion asking the court to provide us with copies of the reports made by the social worker and the child psychiatrist at ito ay didinigin ng husgado bukas, Biyernes. Depende kung ano ang nakalagay sa reports, then we will gauge our future actions and decisions kung ano ang nakalagay doon,” he said.

If the reports state safeguards for the eventual resumption of Yap’s visitation rights over Bimby, Chavez said then they will respect the court’s decision.

“If the report says that there is basis for us to [appeal the PPO for Bimby], we will do that. We will be remiss in our duty as counsel if we will just let these things pass by. Kapag may sinabi sa report that the visitation of the father will cause more harm than good, then we will call the attention of our client and let her decide,” he said.

While Yap’s lawyer Lorna Kapunan said the denial of the PPO for Bimby means Yap can now see his son, Chavez said he doesn’t see the reunion of father and son happening in the near future.

“It is not going to happen tomorrow, more so on Sunday because they prefer to see him on Sunday. That would be a modification without basis of the visitation rights, which only speak of Wednesdays and Fridays, never Sundays. Sunday is family day and James is out of the family,” he said.

Chavez said they have to know the “safeguards” first, which will be the topic of the hearing this Friday.

According to Chavez, Yap will see Bimby “in the fullness of time” but it should be done the right way. He added it was never Aquino’s intention to keep Bimby away from his father.

“Kapag ini-rollback mo ang time, from the beginning, hindi ipinagdadamot ni Kris ang pagkikita ng ama at anak. Medyo napuno lang siya, nagalit lang siya na 'yung sa sanctity ng kanyang private room, pati iyon ay sinugod ni Mr. James Yap. Doon na siya nagalit, sobra na iyon. Wala na namang romantic illusion na mangyayari, why force the issue?” he said.

He said the particular incident was witnessed by Bimby and thus, “the issue regarding whether or not he can visit his son is not yet resolved with finality.”

Chavez said Aquino was satisfied that the court granted the PPO she filed for her self because it means the court believed her testimony.

“Nagkaroon ng vindication si Kris dahil hindi ni-reject ng court ang kanyang testimony. Pinaniwalaan siya ng husgado kaya siya nabigyan ng PPO. It is as simple as ABC. I don’t know why some people don’t understand,” he said.

Willie Revillame Charged With Child Abuse Over Dancing Boy

Source: www.philstar.com

MANILA, Philippines - Television host Willie Revillame was charged with violating the anti-child abuse law, Republic Act 7610, before a Quezon City court this week over a six-year-old boy’s sexually suggestive dance on his defunct show, Willing-Willie, two years ago.

The case was raffled off Monday to the Regional Trial Court Branch 86, a family court under the sala of Judge Roberto Buenaventura.

It was filed following the resolution issued by Assistant City Prosecutor Benjamin Samson, who found merit in the complaint filed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Council for the Welfare of Children.

Reports said the separate cases filed by private individuals were dismissed as they do not have the authority to file a complaint under the law.

Section 27 of RA 7610 said that cases of unlawful acts against children can only be filed by the offended party; parents or guardians; ascendant or collateral relative; a representative of a licensed child caring institution; an officer of the DSWD; a village chief; or at least three citizens where the violation occurred.

In an interview with The STAR, blogger Noemi Lardizabal-Dado – one of the private complainants – said they have yet to receive a copy of the resolution involving the case.

Nation ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1

The case was filed after Revillame allegedly cajoled the six-year-old boy into doing a sexually suggestive dance on the March 12, 2011 episode of his show on TV5.

The show, which was ordered suspended for 30 days by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board, received flak after a clip of the incident went viral on the Internet.

Revillame earlier denied abusing the child, saying that there was nothing obscene about his performance.
