Best Bets for 2009
Erwin Santiago | PEP | January 7, 2009
PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) lists down the 12 stars we think will make an impact in the Year of the Ox. They may not be newbies in the showbiz industry, but they are the names to watch for this year.
These stars have established themselves as the forces to reckon with in an industry where new faces sprout like mushrooms. They were given breaks for the first time and have proven that they can topbill a show or a movie, while the others, we feel, deserve to be given breaks and let them shine.
They are the stars who in the next few months will be mentioned so often in showbiz talks shows, tabloids, broadsheets, and here in PEP. Their every move will be observed by their fans and critics as well.
Here are PEP’s Best Bets for 2009:
SARAH GERONIMO
Most likely to be crowned Box-Office Queen this year because of the box-office success of A Very Special Love opposite John Lloyd Cruz, Sarah Geronimo is on her way to being one of the most important stars of 2009. Sarah is actually a triple threat among her contemporaries—she can sing, act, and host. With her newfound magic in the box-office, it’s inevitable that she gets more projects in movies (a sequel of A Very Special Love is now in the works) and television (an upcoming teleserye). Her singing career is also one of the brightest in recent years, producing hits from one song to another.
HEART EVANGELISTA
Who would have thought that after being considered a has-been even before reaching her peak, Heart Evangelista is now the current queen of primetime television via her first solo soap as a Kapuso star, Luna Mystika. After transferring from ABS-CBN to GMA-7 and changing management, Heart was able to resurrect her showbiz career. After Luna Mystika, Heart is expected to star in the Pinoy adaptation of the hot Koreanovela Full House.
CRISTINE REYES
Although she was criticized for her decision to leave GMA-7 and move to ABS-CBN, Cristine Reyes was able to prove that she made the right choice as she was able to establish herself as one of the most desirable young sexy actresses in her generation. Her turn as Eva Fonda is one of the most daring performances ever tackled by a young actress and she was able to pull it off with just the right sensuality. It will be no surprise if Cristine would get more juicy projects in the future, not only in television but in movies as well.
JENNYLYN MERCADO
Love and pregnancy may have stalled Jennylyn Mercado’s career for a while, but she is about to make a grand comeback this year starting with GMA-7 Sine Novela Paano Ba ang Mangarap?, where she will reprise the role originally portrayed by acting great Vilma Santos. Jennylyn is out to reclaim her lost glory and she might give the recent crop of young stars a run for their money.
KIM CHIU
With most of the young stars going the more daring route, Kim Chiu remains one of the most wholesome personalities in showbiz. Kim still gets prime projects from her home network, ABS-CBN. She will be next seen in the upcoming primetime soap Tayong Dalawa, with perennial screen partner Gerald Anderson and Jake Cuenca.
RHIAN RAMOS
Non-believers suddenly became believers as Rhian Ramos proved that she can also carry a show; thanks to Lalola, where she essays the role of a playboy who was turns into a woman because of a curse. Interestingly, negative issues about Rhian suddenly stopped when Lalola started airing. Proof of this is her noticeable absence on showbiz talk shows explaining her side about a certain issue. After Lalola, Rhian might be reunited with Richard Gutierrez in the Pinoy adaptation of the swashbuckling series Zorro.
JC DE VERA
There’s no doubt that JC de Vera is one of the hottest young actors today. After giving commendable performances in the heavy drama Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kita and the romantic comedy series Lalola, JC is now considered one of the better actors of his generation. JC might be GMA-7’s arsenal in the drama department, along with Mark Anthony Fernandez.
GERALD ANDERSON
Gerald Anderson’s team-up with Kim Chiu is still one of the top love teams in the country. Gerald is also showing great promise in acting, tackling more challenging roles like that of a rebel in Your Song Presents My Only Hope and a cadet in the upcoming ABS-CBN primetime series Tayong Dalawa.
MARK HERRAS
Mark Herras’s showbiz career was obviously affected when his love team with former girlfriend Jennylyn Mercado took a break because of the young actress’ relationship with Patrick Garcia and her pregnancy. But their reunion in a two-part special episode of Dear Friend proved that they still have loyal fans who want to see them together—onscreen and even in real life. Mark will be paired again with Jennylyn the upcoming afternoon soap Paano Ba ang Mangarap?.
ALJUR ABRENICA
Being groomed as a hunky actor, Aljur Abrenica might be the next big thing in the Kapuso network. Given more time, the StarStruck 4 Ultimate Hunk will surely emerge as one of the most important young actors in his generation. Aljur is currently seen in the top-rating primetime fantaserye Luna Mystika.
JC TIUSECO
The first-ever Pinoy Sole Survivor has already developed a fan base that puts him in the league of some of the most popular stars in the country. After winning Surivor Philippines, JC was very open in saying that he wanted to try his luck in showbiz and lady luck seems to be on his side. JC just signed up with GMA-7 and rumor has it that he will be introduced in the Richard Gutierrez-KC Concepcion movie When I Met U. A source also told PEP that the San Sebastian varsity player might be paired with Marian Rivera in another movie.
ROBI DOMINGO
Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus runner-up Robi Domingo is emerging as one of the future matinee idols of ABS-CBN. His wholesome image and happy disposition make him a stand out among his contemporaries. Aside from acting and studies, Robi is now making a name for himself as a VJ in MYX channel.
Aside from these names, watch out for the newcomers that will come from the third season of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition and the Batch 5 of StarStruck which are slated to happen this year.

Malaya | January 7, 2009
Heart Evangelista was interviewed by Raymond Gutierrez and she says that 2008 started badly for her but it ended very well. “Sa umpisa, bad talaga kasi marami kong mahirap na pinagdaraanan,” she says. “But eventually, I was able to patch things up with my parents at nagtuloy-tuloy ng gumanda. We became closer and we now have a more solid relationship.”
She says she has definitely moved on from her painful relationship with her last boyfriend (Jericho Rosales) and yes, she has a new one, Francisco Delgado. “I’m really thankful that I have a new show which is a hit, ‘Luna Mystika,’ kasi before I moved to GMA-7, everybody was saying wala na akong chance makabawi pa. I’m glad that the viewers welcomed me again and GMA has other plans for me.”
Break-Up Survivors
Rowena Agilada | Timing
Tempo | January 7, 2009
POSITIVE ang attitude ni Jolina Magdangal sa break-up nila ng boyfriend na si Atty. Bebong Muñoz. She’s moving forward at aniya, kahit nasasaktan siya, kailangan niyang matutunang dalhin ang sarili.
Sinarili lang niya ang break-up nila ni Atty. Bebong at aniya, hindi biro ang nangyari. Ayaw ni Jolina idamay ang ibang tao sa kalungkutang nararamdaman niya ngayon.
Ayaw sabihin ni Jolina ang dahilan ng kanilang break-up. Kung anuman ’yon, gusto niyang itago na lang ’yon at sila na lang ni Atty. Bebong ang nakakaalam. Respeto na lang daw sa kanyang sarili, kay Atty. Bebong, and their respective families.
Nahihilo pa raw siya ngayon at ayaw niyang pag-usapan ang hiwalayan nila. Pakiramdam daw niya, manhid pa siya sa nangyari. Naging therapy na lang ni Jolina after they broke up ang maglinis ng kanyang kuwarto at ayusin ang mga gamit.
Walang violent reaction ang kanyang parents nang sabihin niya sa mga itong break na sila ni Atty. Bebong. Nagulat lang ang mga ito pero hindi siya tinanong kung bakit.
This 2009, bagong buhay para kay Jolina. Gusto niyang maging positive para gumaan ang loob.
’Atta girl! Go, go, go! Be strong, be brave sa pagharap sa mga mangyayari this 2009. Be it bad or good. Pray na lang.
Gimmick lang?
Halatang gimmick lang ’yung may nagpadala ng bouquet of flowers kay Karylle noong nag-guest siya sa ‘The Buzz.’ “Tony” ang nakalagay na pangalan sa card na agad natukoy nina Ruffa Gutierrez at Boy Abunda na si Christian Bautista. ’Yon kasi ang pangalan ni Christian sa ‘West Side Story’ na pinagsamahan nila ni Karylle. Walang kilig na nakita kay Karylle at ibinuko pa niyang hindi naman ’yon sulat-kamay ni Christian. Sinabi ng dalaga na friend lang niya si Christian at hindi ito nanliligaw sa kanya.
Mas may kilig factor ang pagli-link kina Karylle at Jericho Rosales. Pero ayon kay Karylle, friend din lang niya si Jericho at hindi ito nanliligaw sa kanya.
Baka naman humahanap pa ng right timing si Echo?
Cautious na siya ngayon after her break-up with Dingdong Dantes, ayon kay Karylle. Maski raw sa pagpili ng mga nakikipagkaibigan sa kanya, isinasangguni muna niya sa kanyang parents (daddy Dr. Modesto Tatlonghari and mommy Zsa Zsa Padilla). Pag aprub sa mga ito, go si Karylle.
Naka-move forward na ang dalaga na aniya, she’s happy with her life now, sa pagmamahal ng kanyang family. She’s hanging out more often with her younger sister Zia (Zsa Zsa’s daughter by Dolphy).
Inamin ni Karylle, na-hurt ang mommy niya sa split-up nila ni Dingdong. Inamin din niyang umiyak siya last Christmas dahil naalala niya ang ex-boyfriend sa mga sad Christmas songs na napakinggan niya.
Ayaw nang pag-usapan
Like Karylle, naka-move on na rin si Heart Evangelista. She’s happy with her new boyfriend, si Francisco Delgado. Ayaw nang pag-usapan ni Heart si Jericho Rosales pero aniya, he will always have a special place in her heart. But she’s not looking back, she stressed.
Happy rin si Heart with the way things are going sa kanyang career. Hindi raw niya akalaing mabibigyan pa siya ng another chance kaya nagpapasalamat siya sa GMA-7 sa pagkakataon at pinagtiwalaan siyang magbida sa ‘Luna Mystika.’ Top-rating prime time show ito ng Kapuso Network at aniya, worth lahat ng pagdurusa niya sa prosthetic make-up niya.
After this, may kasunod agad na project si Heart. Adaptation ng isang Korean novela ang gagawin niya. Mamaya sa ‘Luna Mystika,’ tatapatin ni Dexter si Celestina na si Luna ang gusto niya. Iiwasan ni Luna si Dexter. Pasisimulan na ni Ybarra ang construction sa loteng katabi ng mga Sagrado. Mari-realize ni Dexter na mahal niya si Luna. Pupunta si Luna sa farm ni Dominic. Hahabulin ni Dexter si Luna sa bus. Magki-kiss sila.
Luna Mystika: Episode Guide
Nitz Miralles | Journal Online | January 07, 2009
Sa Luna Mystika, nang maabutan sa bus, inamin na ni Dexter (Mark Anthony Fernandez) kay Luna (Heart Evangelista) na mahal niya ito.
Itatanggi ng dalagang mahal niya si Dexter dahil ayaw niyang masaktan ang kakambal niyang si Celestina.
Maglalasing si Dexter sa pambabasted ni Luna at tiyempong pinuntahan siya ni Celestina sa bahay at isi-seduce.
Maaabutan ni Luna na naghahalikan sina Dexter at Celestina sa poolside at masasaktan siya.
Gustong ipaalam ng mga taga-Luna Mystika na nag-adjust ang episodes ng serye noong December, kaya ang highlight na nabasa n’yo kahapon ay next week pa mapapanood.

MASARAP abangan ang susunod na kaba-nata ng Luna Mystika.
Unti-unti na kasing mari-reveal ang tunay na katauhan ni Ybarra, ang bagong character na ginagampanan ni Ariel Rivera sa no.1 soap ng GMA-7 sa prime time evening.
Paano kaya makapaghihiganti si Ariel sa pamilya ni Dante Rivero na umapi sa kanya noon?
Kailan naman kaya mabubunyag na anak ni Ybarra (Ariel) sina Luna at Celestina?
Marami pang twists ang magaganap sa magandang istorya ng buhay ni Luna Mystika.

HALOS bumagsak ang career ni Dennis Trillo sa buntis issue niya last year kay Carlene Aguilar.
Kesyo, natakot si-yang ipagtapat kaagad sa publiko na siya ang ama ng ipinagbubuntis ni Carlene. Sa kabila ng lahat, pinagkatiwalaan pa rin si-ya ng GMA-7 na ibigay sa kanya ang title role ng Gagambino.
Pinatunayan naman ni Dennis na bankable star siya ng Kapuso. Nanguna rin sa ratings game ang Gagambino. Kaya naman, panibagong sigla ang career niya ngayon. This time, saka na lang daw muna ang lovelife, pagkatapos niyang ‘masabit’ romantically kina Carlene at Cristine Reyes.
By the way, nitong Bagong Taon, magka-sama sila ni Carlene at kanilang anak na lalaki.
Nang makausap naman namin si Carlene, sinabing tumatanggap na siya ng admirers.
Anyway, mapapanood muli nating magda-drama si Dennis sa Dear Friend ngayong Sunday. Feature episode ang unang tamba-lan nila ni Heart Evangelista sa telebisyon. Bale ito ang istorya ng isang Intsik na itinago ang girlfriend niyang Pinoy sa kanyang parents na Tsino. Lalabas na Intsik dito si Dennis na na-in love sa isang Pinay na ginagampanan ni Heart. Hosts ng Dear Friend sina Jolina Mag-dangal at Marvin Agustin.

Luna Msytika: Episode Guide
Nitz Miralles | ABOUT SHOWBIZ
Pilipino Star Ngayon | December 22, 2008
Sa Luna Mystika, nalaman na ni Dexter (Mark Anthony Fernandez) ang pagpapanggap nina Luna at Celestina (Heart Evangelista) at madidiskubre ni Celestina na nakakakita na si Dexter.
Luna Mystika: Episode Guide
Nitz Miralles | Journal Online | December 18, 2008
Sa Luna Mystika, tuloy ang paggagamot ni Piryang (Mosang) kay Dexter (Mark Anthony Fernandez). Kinukontra naman ni Alguwas (Hero Angeles) ang dasal ni Piryang, bubuweltahan niya ito at mawawalan ng malay ang albularya.
Samantala, hahabulin nina Alice (Sherly Cruz) at Donita (Iwa Moto) sina Luna at Celestina (Heart Evangelista) at maaabutan ng mag-ina ang kambal.
Gustong patunayan ng mag-ina na engkanto si Celestina.
WHAT’S MISSING WITH HEART?
Joey Aquino | Journal Online | December 18, 2008
SPEAKING of Jericho Rosales, it’s inevitable not to talk about Heart Evangelista.
Like him, Heart has moved on as well. And she seems to be enjoying her showbiz career. She now topbills GMA’s Luna Mystika, which is reportedly doing well in the ratings game.
“Mukhang nabunutan na rin siya ng tinik,” says one reader. “Kaya naman gumaganda na ang aura niya.”
Unlike before, Heart is now focused on her career.
“Dapat lang ‘no?! Masuwerte nga siya at nakabalik pa siya,” comments one writer.
In fairness, Heart knows how to act. May lalim ang kanyang pag-arte. So, it’s not hard to revive her career. Given the right project, she could be one of showbiz’s important actresses.
But can she do something else than focus on her career? Just asking…
Mark Anthony talks about his 1st Xmas without Rudy F
Fidel Jimenez | GMA News | 12/17/08
“Pa, nasaan ka man, Merry Christmas! I love you. Alam kong masaya ka…” Ito ang mensahe ni Mark Anthony Fernandez sa namayapang ama na si Rudy Fernandez na sa unang pagkakataon ay hindi niya makakasama sa pagdiriwang ng Pasko.
Nitong Hunyo pumanaw si Rudy matapos sumuko ang kanyang katawan sa pakikipaglaban sa sakit na kanser.
Kabilang si Mark sa mga Kapuso stars na nagpasaya sa mga empleyado ng US Embassy na nagdaos ng kanilang Christmas party.
Sa Chika Minute portion ng GMA news 24 Oras nitong Miyerkules, sinabing pinatunayan ni Mark na bukod sa husay sa pag-arte ay ipinakita rin niya ang talent sa pagkanta.
Lubos din ang pasasalamat ng aktor sa suportang ibinigay ng mga tao sa fantaserye niyang “Luna Mystika” kung saan katambal niya si Heart Evangelista.
“Gusto ko lang magpasalamat sa mga sumusubaybay sa ‘Luna Mystika,’ maraming salamat at pinapanood nya kami. Maligayang Pasko po sa inyong lahat,” pagbati ng tinaguriang ultimate leading man ng Kapuso Network.
Sinabi ni Mark na magiging simple lang ang pagdiriwang ng kanyang pamilya ngayong Pasko. Plano nilang pumunta sa Heritage Memorial Park para bisitahin ang puntod ng kanyang ama.
“Syempre magse-celebrate (pa rin) tayo dahil birthday ni Jesus. Pero at the same time kahit papaano nagluluksa pa rin ako,” ayon kay Mark.
ABS-CBN’s Iisa Pa Lamang claimed the top spot in the Nationwide Urban TV Audience Measurement (NUTAM) survey for the month of November, while Heart Evangelista’s GMA-7’s fantaserye debut series, Luna Mystika, clinched fourth place overall.
NUTAM Ratings (November): “Iisa Pa Lamang” edges out primetime favorites
Bong Godinez | PEP | December 16, 2008
ABS-CBN’s primetime drama series Iisa Pa Lamang finally clinched the top spot a month after settling for fifth place, according to the latest Nationwide Urban TV Audience Measurement (NUTAM) survey conducted by AGB Nielsen Media Research, Philippines for the month of November.
It was major leap for the star-studded soap opera as it even surpassed perennial favorites and fellow Kapamilya programs Dyosa and I Love Betty La Fea in the primetime race. Iisa Pa Lamang gathered a rating of 33.6 percent followed by Dyosa’s 32.9 percent.
Heart Evangelista’s first primetime soap starrer as a Kapuso, Luna Mystika, immediately made an impression as it barged in to claim the fourth spot, beating Bea Alonzo’s Betty La Fea and Dennis Trillo’s Gagambino.
The local franchise of Pinoy Fear Factor, hosted by Ryan Agoncillo, also made it to the list at No. 10 to round up the primetime column.
Not much has changed in the daytime Top Weekday Programs battle as Willie Revillame’s Wowowee remained untouched at the top spot, bolstered by its 21.9 percent grade. GMA-7’s drama combination of Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan? and Una Kang Naging Akin changed positions, with the former now assuming second place with a 21.6 rating to show while the latter accumulated a total of 19.7 percent good enough for third place.
Boxing special once more flexed its muscle to bully the competition. The ring matchup between Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton and Paulie “The Magic Man” Malignaggi aired by ABS-CBN on November 23 knocked Willie Revillame’s Wowowee out of the daytime Top Weekend Programs apex. Garnering a strong 28.3 percent rating, the bout dubbed as The Hitman vs. The Magic Man beat Wowowee’s 21.2 percent showing and ASAP 08’s 18.2 mark.
Eat Bulaga! nailed fourth place, followed by Cinema FPJ: Da King on ABS-CBN. The Buzz edged out rival Showbiz Central, although the team of Pia Guanio, John Lapus, Raymond Gutierrez, Mo Twister, and Rufa Mae Quinto surely wouldn’t mind the setback as they fared better this time compared to the month of October when they failed to enter the winning bracket.
Maalaala Mo Kaya ruled the primetime race for the Top Weekend Programs, nipping Rated K’s effort to secure the top spot. The country’s longest-running drama anthology registered a rating of 28.6 percent while Korina’s program garnered 28.1 percent, closely followed by Komiks 27.6 percent rating. The primer of Ryan Agoncillo’s Fear Factor landed eight spot with 23.4 percent. Completing the list were two Kapuso shows—Kakasa Ka Ba Sa Grade 5? and Family Feud—which bore identical ratings of 22.2 percent.

Luna Mystika, starring Heart Evangelista and Mark Anthony Fernandez, consistently held the No. 1 spot, while three shows occupied the No. 2 slot: La Lola on Friday (Nov. 28), 24 Oras on Monday (Dec. 1), and Gagambino on Tuesday (Dec. 2).
Survivor Philippines, on the other hand, remained steady at No. 5.
ABS-CBN premiered its new primetime series Eva Fonda, starring former Kapuso star Cristine Reyes, last Monday. Eva Fonda opened strongly with 26.8 percent to place sixth overall and, more importantly, lead all Kapamilya shows. However, it was not able to sustain its high rating and dramatically dropped to No. 9 last night with 21.7 percent.
Aside from Eva Fonda, Cristine is also in a supporting role in another ABS-CBN primetime drama series Kahit Isang Saglit.
Weekend viewing was topped by Eat Bulaga! and Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho last Saturday (Nov. 29) and by SOP and Rated K last Sunday (Nov. 30).

Luna Mystika, topbilled by Heart Evangelista, consistently held on to the No. 1 spot in the primetime race this week.
TV Ratings (Nov. 24-27): Primetime television has a new queen
Erwin Santiago |PEP | November 28, 2008
Heart Evangelista may now be called as the new queen of primetime television, at least for Mega Manila viewers. This is because her new GMA-7 fantaserye, Luna Mystika, consistently topped the ratings game this week.
Moreover, Luna Mystika finally reached the 40-plus mark last Monday, November 24, when it posted a rating of 40.2 percent—its highest rating, so far, since its debut last week. It’s been quite a while since a primetime show was able to reach a 40-plus mark after Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes’s Dyesebel ended last October.
Luna Mystika, which also stars Mark Anthony Fernandez, led other six Kapuso shows in dominating the primetime race. These are Gagambino, La Lola, Survivor Philippines, 24 Oras, My Husband’s Woman, and Family Feud.
The other slots were occupied by the following ABS-CBN shows: I Love Betty Lea Fea, TV Patrol World, and Dyosa. Kahit Isang Saglit and Pinoy Fear Factor managed to grab the last of the Top 10 slots last Monday and Thursday, respectively.
Kahit Isang Saglit and Pinoy Fear Factor swapped timeslots beginning last Monday. Kahit Isang Saglit is now pitted against GMA-7’s La Lola while Pinoy Fear Factor is now directly competing with Kapuso reality show Survivor Philippines.
In the daytime race, afternoon soap Saan Darating ang Umaga? took the lead last Monday, but noontime show Eat Bulaga! was able to grab it the next three days.
Una Kang Naging Akin, on the other hand, placed second on all days, except Monday when it ranked third behind Saan Darating ang Umaga? and Eat Bulaga!.
Other shows figuring prominently in the Top 10 are Daisy Siete, Wowowee, Pilipinas, Game KNB?, Pieta, Rosalinda, SiS, La Traicion, and Boy & Kris.

Ang sumpa ni Mark Herras sa Luna Mystika
Rose Galvez | iGMA.tv | November 20, 2008
Tampok sa Luna Mystika ay isang star-studded cast composed of the hottest young celebrities in showbiz ngayon. Isa na doon si Mark Herras as Kamilo isa sa mga kontrabidang engkanto na magkakaroon ng gusto kay Celestina ang masamang katauhan ng lead character na si Heart Evangelista. – Text by Erick Mataverde. Interview by Rose Galvez. Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio.
Sa press conference ng Luna Mystika last November 11, tinanong si Mark Herras about details of his role in the show. “Ah, bad boy, duwende na cute,” pabirong niyang dinescribe ang kanyang character.
Nung mabanggit na kakaiba itong role niya sa dating nakasanayan niya sagot naman niya, “Actually naman ako ever since siguro paulit ko tong sinasabi na ‘di rin naman ako mahilig mamili ng mga roles na napupunta sa akin. And, ah, I trust naman GMA na they’re giving me this kind of character na, na hindi naman ako magmumukhang, or magiging bad image or magiging pangit ‘yung takbo nung career or image [ko].
“Well, siguro, they’re giving me a chance to do different kinds of roles ‘di ba like nung nung kami ng digital film, ‘yung Sapi, more of medyo malalim na Mark ‘yung yari. Ah, this time, kakaiba naman,” kanyang dagdag.
He also confesses that the powerhouse cast of Luna Mystika works to his advantage. “Ako natutuwa nga ako dahil ever since na nag-start ako sa showbiz, siguro bibihira ako nagkakaroon ng, ng show na kasama ko is halos mga ka-age ko. Na like this, ang dami namin. Sila Michelle (Madrigal), sila Pauleen (Luna), sila Aljur (Abrenica). Ok ‘yung story, ok ‘yung samahan. Mas mapapadali at mapapaganda ‘yung trabaho once na kasundo mo lahat eh” kanyang banggit.
Likewise, he was also asked about working with Hero Angeles, who is being considered as Mark’s professional rival, “I’m happy naman kasi never ko naman ginawang parang competitor si Hero eh. Never ko naman nilagay sa isip ko na, naku ito kalaban ko to, bale ‘to Batch 1 ng Star Circle. Hindi, hindi. Never naman yan. I’m happy nakakasama ko ”yung mga [actors] like that, like si Hero from Star Circle nakakatrabaho ko sila, kasi ako naman kung puwede lang talaga gusto ko makatrabaho halos lahat ng artista. So, I’m happy,” ang pahayag ni Mark.
Tinanong din si Mark kung anong klaseng kapangyarinhan ang ipapakita niya sa show. “May power ako, parang may iiwan akong sumpa kay Heart. Kaya doon na, doon ako mai-in love sa masamang Heart na maganda. Which is pag-lipas ng story malalaman na parang kung bakit ako mag-iiwan ng sumpa,” kwento ni Mark.
Ano ang dapat i-expect ng mga viewers kay Mark this time around? “Siguro makikita nila na may bago naman, na may bago namang character si Mark. Hindi lang ‘yung mukhang tao.”
And when Mark was asked that if ever he would be given a chance to become his character in Luna Mystika in real life, would he? “Pwede, pwede. Pero siyempre, hindi ‘yung engkantong masama,” ang kanyang sagot.
“This is my new home kaya I have to leave behind whatever not-so-good image I had. I want people to like me and, so far, nangyayari na ‘yon. Kaya I’m happy that people are getting to know who I am now. Hindi na ako yung bratty na Heart noon. Wala na ‘yon and I hope na they will like me even more,” says Heart Evangelista.
Heart Evangelista threw away bratty attitude when she turned Kapuso
Ruel Mendoza | PEP | November 15, 2008
Aminado si Heart Evangelista na dati ay mahirap siyang katrabaho. Masyado raw siyang demanding noon at kung hindi nasusunod ang gusto niya ay nawawalan siya ng ganang magtrabaho.
Pero ayon kay Heart, yun ang dating Heart Evangelista na ayaw na niyang balikan pa. Aminado naman siyang marami siyang nakasamaan ng loob dahil sa kanyang attitude problem noon. Ngayon ay nabawasan na raw ‘yon and she hopes na maging maayos na ang pakikipagtrabaho niya sa ibang tao.
“Hindi ko naman itinatago na I had that kind of bratty attitude before,” sabi ni Heart sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). “Nasa kabilang network [ABS-CBN] pa ako noon and I was very young kasi, kaya I always had my way. Kaya kapag hindi nasusunod, nagiging difficult talaga akong katrabaho.
“Kaya nga I don’t want to be that person again. I realized na marami palang ayaw na akong katrabaho because of what I was before. Siguro nga dala ng pagiging bata ko noon. I didn’t know any better kasi. I thought na I can always get away with everything. Yun pala, importante ang pakikisama sa kahit kanino.”
Dagdag niya, “Now, I’ve learned that when I became a Kapuso. This is my new home kaya I have to leave behind whatever not so good image I had. I want people to like me and, so far, nangyayari na ‘yon. Kaya I’m happy that people are getting to know who I am now. Hindi na ako yung bratty na Heart noon. Wala na ‘yon and I hope na they will like me even more.”
GLUE ALLERGY. May balitang nagsagutan si Heart at ang mga gumagawa ng prosthetics ng pinagbibidahan niyang fantaserye sa GMA-7, Luna Mystika.
“It was just a misunderstanding between me and the prosthetics people,” paglilinaw ni Heart. “Hindi naman ako magrereklamo if I didn’t feel anything wrong. Kasi nga, nagpantal ako sa glue na ginamit nila sa prosthetics. I wasn’t making reklamo sa mismong prosthetics na nilalagay nila sa mukha ko. Yung glue lang na gamit nila ang naging problema.
“Ipinakita ko naman sa kanila na nagpantal ako doon sa glue at naintindihan nila ang gusto kong iparating sa kanila. When they found the right glue na hindi ako nagpantal, okey na kami. I was very apologetic nga sa kanila because parang na-blown out of proportion yung ni-request ko na palitan yung glue. Now, okay na kaming lahat and I’m no longer allergic sa nilalagay nila. Everything’s smooth sailing na sa taping namin ng Luna Mystika,” lahad ng aktres.
SURVIVOR HUNK. Flattered naman si Heart nang malaman niyang may crush sa kanya ang Survivor Philippines castoff na si Jace Flores, na kasama rin sa cast ng Luna Mystika. Una silang nagkakila nang mag-acting workshop sila para sa kanilang fantaserye.
Ayon kay Heart, typical na Amboy (American boy) si Jace na may confidence sa sarili. Ito pa raw ang unang nagpakilala sa kanya na ikinatuwa naman ni Heart.
“I only met him noong mag-workshop kami under Miss Gina Alajar. Jace is a nice guy naman. Hindi siya mahiyain and during the workshop, I can see na he’s focused on what he is doing. That’s a good sign na he’s really interested in this business.”
“Next to perfection” ang description ni Jace kay Heart. Ano ang masasabi ni Heart dito?
“I’m very flattered that he said that about me. I hope to work with him more sa show and to get to know him better,” saad ni Heart.
“Ang tingin ko kay Heart, isa siyang tunay na artista. Talagang primetime na artista na ito, pang-award. Yung acting niya, panlaban palagi. So, ako, bihira akong maging fan. Pero ngayon pa lang, fan na ako ni Heart. Iba yung drive niya sa trabaho,” says Mark Anthony Fernnadez about Luna Mystika leading lady Heart Evangelista.
Mark Anthony Fernandez becomes instant fan of leading lady Heart Evangelista
Rose Garcia | PEP | November 12, 2008
Hindi maikakailang isa na si Mark Anthony Fernandez sa mga importanteng leading men ng GMA-7 ngayon, kahanay nina Richard Gutierrez, Dingdong Dantes, Dennis Trillo, at JC de Vera. Pagkatapos ng romantic comedy na Ako Si Kim Samsoon nila ni Regine Velasquez, si Mark naman ngayon ang leading man ni Heart Evangelista sa bagong primetime series ng GMA-7, Luna Mystika.
How does he feel na isa siya sa mga aktor ng GMA-7 na nabibigyan ng mga importanteng role?
“Ako, I’m so happy na I feel important. Na binibigyan ako ng importansiya at talagang alam ko na maganda itong proyekto. Masaya ako na napasama ako rito dahil alam ko na maganda talaga. Tapos, yung cast namin, puro magagaling na artista at isa na naman itong exhibition ng acting at sana, hindi ako mahuli,” pahayag ni Mark nang makausap siya ng PEP sa presscon ng Luna Mystika kagabi, November 11, sa Studio 5 (dating Studio 3) ng GMA Network Center.
A FAN OF HEART. Ang Luna Mystika ang kauna-unahang pagtatambal nina Mark at Heart sa isang palabas.
“Happy ako dahil ngayon pa lang, like here in the studio, may mga admirers na. Umaasa rin ako na magiging malakas ito dahil, siyempre, magagaling din ang mga director [Mike Tuviera at Gil Tejada] namin at original concept pa siya,” saad ni Mark.
All praises din si Mark sa bago niyang leading lady.
“Si Heart, para sa akin, fan na niya ko ngayon pa lang,” sambit ng aktor. “Para sa akin, magaling siyang artista. Talagang nakikita ko yung heart niya, gusto niya talagang ibigay sa showbiz. Gusto niyang maging magaling na artista kahit magaling na siya. At bukod sa magaling, matalino pa. Nagkakilala na nga kami, ilang beses na kaming nagkausap kaya medyo well acquainted na rin kami.”
Dugtong ni Mark, “Ang tingin ko kay Heart, isa siyang tunay na artista. Talagang primetime na artista na ito, pang-award. Yung acting niya, panlaban palagi. So, ako, bihira akong maging fan. Pero ngayon pa lang, fan na ako ni Heart. Iba yung drive niya sa trabaho.”
Aminado si Mark na sosyal daw si Heart, pero “sosyal na hindi OA” at “jologs” pa rin.
“She’s a down to earth, jeprox… Kumbaga, marunong makisama, nakikibagay. Minsan nga, may pawis ako rito [sa noo], siya pa ang nagpunas. Alam mo yung dahil matatagalan pa, wala sa oras. Parang wala lang sa kanya, groovy lang talaga,” papuri ni Mark sa kanyang leading lady.
Tinanong ng PEP si Mark kung hindi kaya pagselosan ng asawa niyang si Melissa si Heart.
“Ay, hindi po!” mabilis na sagot ni Mark. “Si Melissa naman po, very supportive naman po siya sa trabaho ko. Actually, kapag may mga away pa nga kami, it’s more on sa akin nanggagaling, hindi sa kanya. Halimbawa, sa sobrang busy, minsan parang nakakalimutan kong mag-kiss or mag-text, tumawag, yung mga ganoon. Pero kung dahil sa trabaho, hindi po, hindi po nangyayari yun.”
Ayon kay Mark, naipakilala na rin daw ni Heart sa kanya ang non-showbiz boyfriend nito. Aniya, kahit isang beses pa lang daw niyang nakikita ang boyfriend ni Heart, boto na siya agad para rito.
Mukhang nalilinya si Mark sa mga leading lady na committed na, gaya nga nina Regine (kay Ogie Alcasid) at Heart (sa isang non-showbiz guy). Mas gusto ba niya yun na pareho silang committed ng leading lady niya?
“For me, it doesn’t really really matter kasi, siyempre, nandito kami para magkuwento ng problema. Magpaligaya, mag-entertain,” saad ng aktor, na unang nakilala bilang miyembro ng Guwapings.

Hindi maitatangging excited na sina Heart Evangelista at Mark Anthony Fernandez para sa “Luna Mystika,” ang first solo telefantasya ni Heart sa Kapuso Network at ang unang pagkakataon na magkakaparehas ang dalawa.
During the show’s November 11 press conference, Heart confessed that she couldn’t believe all the blessings that are coming her way, which was the same case for Mark, who was equally grateful for his newly-acquired leading man status. The two share their sentiments in this interview.
Another milestone
Si Heart ang gaganap sa dual roles nina Luna at Celestina: ang una ay isang mabait na babeng ipinanganak na may pangit na mukha, at ang pangalawa naman ay ang kanyang misteryosang kakambal na sa gabi lamang nakikita. Si Mark Anthony naman ay gaganap sa papel ni Dexter, isang lalaking bibihagin ang puso nina Luna at Celestina.
Kasama sa cast sina Dante Rivero, Chanda Romero, Sheryl Cruz, Romnick Sarmienta, Rita Avila, Gardo Versoza, Ariel Rivera, Mark Herras , Luis Alandy, Kris Bernal , Aljur Abrenica , Iwa Moto, John Lapus, Beth Tamayo, Pauleen Luna, Michelle Madrigal, Hero Angeles, Mosang, Marky Lopez, Bearwin Meily, Jade Lopez, Paulo Avelino, Prince Stefan and Jace Flores.
“Parang hindi ko ma-distinguish kung saan yung kaba, kasi yung buong project na ito, kinakabahan ako!” kwento ni Heart. “Not because hindi ako confident na magre-rate siya, I mean, yung mga loyal fans naman ng GMA, siguradong manonood [sila]. Pero more of yung binigay sa amin—sa akin, yung ganoon? [Nakaka-overwhelm]!”
Dagdag ng aktres, “Napakaganda ng grupo na ito, yung show, [at] kasama ko si Mark—si Cyrus [ng Ako si Kim Samsoon] na talaga namang hot item siya ngayon, so hindi ako ganoong kinakabahan [doon]. Pero syempre nandoon yung [thought] na first time ko dito sa GMA na magdala ng ako mismo yung lead role, so I’m very, very nervous!”
Nagkasabay ang tapings ni Heart sa Codename: Asero at Luna Mystika. Hindi ba siya nahirapan sa pag-balanse ng roles?
“Medyo naguluhan ako nang kaunti, kasi katatapos lang namin ng taping ng Asero, tapos dalawa agad yung character ko, so before each take, kunwari, nagta-transform ako bilang Celestina, nagkukulong ako sa kotse, nagmu-music ako, pati pabango ko, iniiba ko para talagang feeling ko ibang tao ako! Yun nga lang, talagang nagkaka-nightmares ako kasi ini-imbibe ko siya, pero nakaka-excite. Everybody here, sobrang focused sila sa trabaho, talagang pinag-aaralan nila yung scripts ni direk, lahat kami we’re into what we’re doing, so nakaka-inspire siya.”
Idol niya si Heart!
All praises si Mark sa kanyang leading lady, na ikinatuwa naman ng aktres. Sabi ni Mark, “Si Heart para sa akin, isang tunay na artista, kung baga primetime na artista ito, pang-awards. Yung acting niya, panlaban lagi. Ako, bihira akong maging fan, pero ako, fan na ako ni heart ngayon pa lang. Nakita ko yung drive niya sa trabaho—iba.”
He added, “Nakikita ko yung heart niya sa craft niya—gusto niyang maging mas magaling na artista, kahit na magaling na siyang artista. At bukod sa magaling, matalino pa. Nagkakilala na nga kami, ilang beses na kami nagka-usap, so medyo well-acquainted na kami.”
Heart replied, “Natutuwa naman ako. Wala pang nakapag-sabi sa akin na pang-award, never ko naman pinangarap yun—parang napakalayo niya, pero thank you, coming from Mr. Mark, na bata pa lang kami, napapanood ko na siya. Crush siya ng mga pinsan ko, ganyan, tapos ngayon katrabaho ko na siya! So ang galing, ang saya, I’m very, very proud.”
The two made it a point to have bonding moments off-screen, although hindi maiiwasang may kaunting hiyaan at first. “You know si Mark, napaka-gentleman niya. Hindi siya nagte-take advantage ng babae. Alam mo yung gusto niya [tinatanong niya if] it’s okay with you [to do certain scenes]. So I feel more confident, kaya nae-excite ako sa show na ito.”
Mark imparts, “Sa akin, si Heart, marunong makisama, nakikibagay, kung baga, minsan nga, may pawis ako, siya pa nagpunas! Alam mo yun, kumbaga, wala sa kanya yun, e. Parang ‘groovy’ lang talaga siya! Thank you talaga.”
Naaalala pa ni Heart ang unang beses niyang nakita ang Luna Mystika billboard sa GMA. “I [was] speechless. Parang hindi ko akalain na wow, nangyayari ba ito sa akin? Parang it only happens in dreams, e, na makakabalik ako na I can stand up again, parang movies lang.”

Heart Evangelista: “Yes, I think I am in love!”

Kagabi, November 11, ginanap ang grand launch ng pinakabagong fantaserye ng GMA-7, Luna Mystika. Ito ay pinagbibidahan ni Heart Evangelista, na gumaganap ng dalawang karakter bilang Luna at Celestina.
Ang Luna Mystika ang ikalawang primetime series ni Heart sa Kapuso network, pagkatapos ng magtatapos ngayong linggo na Codename: Asero nila ni Richard Gutierrez. Kaya naman excited si Heart na ang follow-up project niya sa GMA-7 ay title role na agad.
“Confident naman ako na napakaganda ng produktong ito, yung show. And of course, kasama ko pa si Mark [Anthony Fernandez], si Cyrus na talaga namang hot item siya ngayon. Hindi ako ganoon kinakabahan. Pero siyempre, nandoon yung first time ko rito sa GMA na ako mismo ang lead role,” pahayag ni Heart.
Ang Cyrus na tinutukoy ni Heart ay ang pangalan ng character ni Mark sa huling programa ng aktor, Ako Si Kim Samsoon.
Ang Luna Mystika rin ang unang pagsasama nina Heart at Mark. Ayon kay Heart, noong Lunes, November 10, pa lang daw kinunan ang unang eksena nilang magkasama.
Kuwento ni Heart, “Okey naman kami. Nagkukuwentuhan na kami ni Mark. Siyempre, may konting hiyaan pa rin. But then, you know, si Mark, napaka-gentleman at hindi siya yung nagte-take advantage ng babae. At alam mo yung gusto niya na ipakita mo if it’s okay with you na ganito. So, I feel more comfortable. Nae-excite ako sa kanya at sa buong show na ito ng pagsasama namin.”
Puro papuri ang maririnig kay Mark patungkol kay Heart. Ano naman ang masasabi ni Heart na tila naging instant fan niya ang leading man? (CLICK here to read related story.)
“Wow naman!” bulalas ni Heart. “Wala namang nakapagsabi na pang-award… Never ko namang pinangarap yun dahil parang napakabigat niya, kaya thank you. Coming from Mark, na bata pa lang kami, napapanood ko na siya. Crush siya ng mga pinsan ko, tapos ngayon, nakakatrabaho ko na siya.
“Masaya talaga! I’m very flattered. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko. Tuyung-tuyo na ang throat ko. I’m speechless! Noong makita ko yung billboard doon sa may GMA sa labas, parang hindi ko akalain na, wow, mangyayari pala ito sa akin! It only happens in dreams, e, you know, na makakabalik ako, na I can stand up again, yung ganoon. Parang movie lang, pero nangyari,” sunud-sunod na sabi ni Heart.
Hindi ba nahirapan si Heart sa pagganp ng dual character dito sa Luna Mystika?
“Yun nga, medyo naguluhan ako ng konti,” sabi niya. “Kakatapos lang namin ng taping ng Asero at dalawa agad ang character ko, so nag-ano ako… Before each take, halimbawa, magta-transform ako bilang Celestina, nagkukulong ako sa kotse, nagmu-music ako. Pati yung pabango ko, iniiba ko para feeling ko, ibang tao ako. Yun nga lang, medyo nagkaka-nightmares ako kasi medyo ini-invade ko siya.
“Pero nakaka-excite, especially kung ang kasama mo, ibang grupo naman—sina Mark, everybody here, sobrang focus nila sa trabaho. Talagang pinag-aaralan nila ang script. Sila Direk [Mike Tuviera], ine-explain nila sa ‘yo ang bawat eksena kaya kaming lahat, parang we’re in to what we are doing. Nakaka-inspire siya. Nakaka-excite!”
May kaba ba siyang nararamdaman dahil siya bale ang magdadala ng buong show nila?
“Actually, parang hindi ko ma-distinguish kung nasaan ang kaba. Kasi yung buong project na ‘to, kinakabahan ako. Not because hindi ako confident na magre-rate siya, pero yung mga loyal fans naman ng GMA, siguradong manonood ang mga ‘yan, parang susunod at susunod sila sa mga bagong shows. Pero more on, parang ibinigay sa akin, thank you. Yung ganoon,” saad ni Heart.
Pero lalo yatang kinabahan si Heart nang sabihin ni Ms. Wilma Galvante, SVP for Entertainment TV ng GMA-7, na ang expectation nila sa magiging rating ng Luna Mystika ay “40 percent.”
NEW LOVE FOUND. Pagdating naman sa lovelife ni Heart, masasabi ba niyang completely healed na siya pagkatapos ng nangyari sa kanila ng ex-boyfriend niyang si Jericho Rosales?
“You know, I’m at the highest point right now,” sabi ng dalaga. “Everything, all my stars are aligned when it comes to my family, my lovelife, my career, my health. Everything is aligned for the very first time in my life. Parang now, ‘Wow, I deserve that!’”
Dito na namin ipinasok kay Heart ang tanong kung totoong may boyfriend na siya ngayon. At hindi naman ito itinanggi ng aktres.
“Yes, I’m seeing someone now,” sagot ni Heart.
Are they exclusively dating?
“Well, ganoon kasi ako, e. Hindi naman ako yung kapag nagdi-date, marami akong dine-date. Isa lang ang idine-date ko and I’m really, really… Well, this one is really good for me.”
Hindi na rin itinanggi ni Heart na kasama niya ang kanyang boyfriend na nagngangalang Francisco Delgado nang magbakasyon sila kailan lang sa Boracay with her family. Si Francisco ay mula sa angkan ng mga Delgado na may shipping business. Anak siya ng pinaslang na businessman na si Federico “Rico” Delgado.
Pero hangga’t maaari ay ayaw ni Heart na pag-usapan ang negosyo ng kanyang bagong boyfriend.
“Well, it doesn’t matter to me. It’s not actually my business to talk about their business, but he’s very hardworking. What I like about him is he’s very low key and he’s not vulgar about anything, and I like that,” saad ni Heart.
Thirty-four years old na raw ang bagong boyfriend ni Heart, na 23 years old pa lamang. Pero wala raw problema sa dalaga kung malaki man ang age gap nila.
“Feeling ko, mas gusto ko,” sabi ni Heart. “Girls naman kasi mature faster than guy, at saka he knows what he wants. May goal siya sa buhay. And I’m like that. Ayoko no’ng parang ngayon lang, tapos hindi namin alam kung ano ang mangyayari. Natatakot ako sa mga ganoon.”
Boto ba ang parents niya kay Francisco?
“Well, actually, matagal na siyang kilala ng mom ko. Pero it’s not that boto siya ngayon. Pero right now, at this point, after that [relationship with Jericho], anything else will do. Anything else that will make me happy. Hindi naman sa ano, kundi yung maging masaya lang ako. Yun ang ibig kong sabihin,” paglilinaw niya.
Ayon pa kay Heart, this time, mas alam na niya ang dapat niyang i-prioritize.
“Alam mo, nagawa ko na ‘yan dati, ginive-up ko na ang lahat. Pero ngayon, naibigay na ulit sa akin [career opportunity], I will not make the same mistakes again. This is me, this is my heart. Uunahin ko naman yung akin,” deklara niya.
At Francisco’s age, masasabing nasa marrying age na ito. Napag-uusapan na ba nila ang kasal as early as now?
“Ang aga naman!” tawa ni Heart. “We’re only dating for four, five months, I think. Basta, happy naman ako ngayon.”
Is Heart in love?
“Yes, I think I am in love!” walang gatol niyang sabi. “Ano kasi ako ngayon, naniniguro muna ako ngayon. You think about anong klaseng love ba ito, pang-forever ba ito?”
