KC, Sam team up for 1st movie in Forever and a Day!

Noted for her landmark romance-comedy-drama movies, director Cathy Garcia-Molina confessed that after watching KC Concepcion in several of her movies and TV shows, she looked forward to working with KC.

It’s not the same with Sam Milby whom Cathy has directed in three movies.

Cathy has realized dream of putting together KC and Sam in a movie, Star Cinema’s Forever and a Day, which opens in more than 100 theaters nationwide on June 15.

KC plays Raffy, a girl who has gone through a lot in life but dares to try many more things to prove to herself (and not so much to other people) that “she can.”

Sam plays Eugene, an arrogant go-getter who is always up for any challenge, “always hungry to be the best.”

Cathy said that before the shoot started, she laid her cards on the table and told KC, “I’ll do everything para mailabas mo kung anong kayang mo pang ilabas. KC didn’t disappoint me. In fact, I was surprised because I got more than what I expected. Magaling siya; matalino siyang artista. She improved everytime I corrected her. She’s a revelation in this movie.”

Again with Sam, it’s a different story.

“Sam is a kid at heart,” said Cathy. “He’s playful, magaan ka-trabaho. Once he gets into the character, siyang-siya na ‘yon. As Eugene, Sam sheds his matinee-idol persona; he’s a far cry from his drool-worthy leading-man look in his previous movies. I would say that he has greatly improved since the first time I worked with him.”

The movie was partly shot in the scenic spots of Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro. KC and Sam proved to be real pros all the way, not at all complaining when they were asked to do extreme-adventure sports or games such as zipline, zorb and white-water rafting.

KC admitted that at first, she was “afraid” of Cathy.

“I was relieved when she told me that all she was expecting from me was to trust her,” said KC, “and I did.”

Of course, as usual Sam is all praises for Cathy.

“I’m comfortable working with her,” said Sam, “and even before the current project is finished, I’m already looking forward to the next one.”

Piolo Pascual gears up for new projects this 2010!

Piolo Pascual’s first project for 2010 is the special two-part presentation ofMaalaala Mo Kaya where he will be playing the late Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. ABS-CBN.com spoke with Piolo during his taping for MMK and he talked about the transformation he went through to look like Ninoy. “In Lovers in Paris, my hair was really short. After ng show hindi muna ako nagpagupit. Hindi muna rin ako nag-shave. When I showed up for the meeting para dito sa MMK, dun na na-plan ‘yung magiging look ko as Ninoy. Mahirap ang magiging look ko dito kasi ang story magspa-span from 17 years old si Ninoy hanggang 50. Basically, canvas lang ako. I trust the production team kung paano iibahin ‘yung look ko. They know better on how I should look. Sa akin na lang ‘yung acting part. Of course with Direk Jeffrey Jeturian na nakatrabaho ko rin sa Lovers, I’m sure magagabayan niya ako nang husto.”

Has KC Concepcion really fallen for Piolo Pascual?

Sa ginanap na farewell presscon ng Lovers in Paris noong Biyernes (December 4), walang magawa si KC Concepcion kundi hayaan si Piolo Pascual na sagutin ang isyu tungkol sa tunay na estado ng kanilang relasyon. Kaugnay ito ang pambubuko na ginawa ng kanilang director na si FM Reyes na siyang nakasaksi sa kakaiba nilang pagtitinginan sa set. Kung si Piolo ay hindi mapakali sa kanyang upuan, si KC naman ay halos maiyak na sa tensyon dahil sa sunod-sunod na tanong ng press. Na kesyo kinahihiya daw ba siya ni Piolo kaya ayaw nitong aminin na sila na. “Why keep it secret if it’s true love,” dagdag pa ng isang kolumnista. Hindi na tuloy nito napigilang sumaglit sa ladies’ room upang manumbalik ang kanyang lakas ng loob kahit papaano. Pagbalik niya sa presidential table, nakita pa ng ABS-CBN.com na kinurot niya si Direk FM na tila nagpapahiwatig na huwag na nitong ikwento ang mga pinagdaanan nila ni Piolo sa likod ng kamera.

KC Concepcion wants to spend more time with her sisters!

KC Concepcion considered her father Gabby Concepcion’s 46th birthday last November 8 as very memorable since not did she spend quality time with her father, she also got to bond with her half-sister, Gabrielle Concepcion. “We don’t always see each other kasi. ‘Yung mga times na nawala sa ’min bilang magkapatid na babae na magkalapit yun edad at magkaibigan din ngayon namin ‘yun nire-rebuild.
