One of the great pa-fall actors in the romance genre in the Philippine Film Industry, John Lloyd Cruz, is believed to be making his comeback with the surfacing of his photos and videos online. The matinee idol has been in hiatus with his showbiz career since 2017.

Lloydie, one of the most sought actors in Philippine cinema and a very effective endorser proved that his fans are still waiting for his return. In a teaser video, which lasted only for a few seconds and only shows the back shot of Cruz’s, and posted in the Facebook page of the number one selling shawarma Turks a few weeks ago had been viewed 3.2M times, shared almost 800 times and gained a huge number of comments.

Without any clue in that teaser video, his fans already assumed that it was him in the video. Actress Bea Alonzo on her Instagram also posted a screenshot of that teaser video, which garnered almost a million likes.

This Monday morning Turks finally revealed in the 1-minute and 17 seconds video of Cruz showing the actor walking through different destinations, which somehow depicts Cruz’s sojourn. The video is very simple, yet there’s drama the way it was created, and in a very subtle shot, he stopped and took a bite of a Turks pita doner.
The rugged look of Cruz in the Turks video titled Ang Pagbabalik is way too far from his guy-next-door image and a lot of people in the industry are asking if this signals his return to the limelight. His fans are still wondering about the life he’s been living since his hiatus.

According to Turks president Gem L. Zenarosa that during the course of his talks with Cruz, they never talked anything about his showbiz career or plans. He added that he got Mr. Cruz as the latest ambassador of Turks because of his great confidence working with Cruz.

“I am really grateful that John Lloyd trusts our company, he is a brilliant and very creative young man. Aside from acting we have discovered some of his remarkable talents,” Zenarosa stressed.

The Ang Pagbabalik according to Zenarosa is actually about Turks Small Pita Doner, which will be available again in all its branches.

“John Lloyd is the best endorser for this because like him, despite his absence in the showbusiness for a couple of years, the warmth and love of his fans for him never dwindles. With our Small Pita Doner we believe that our customers will be happy to know that it is back in our menu,” Zenarosa explained.


Just like Cruz who is seen to have a different image since he last appeared in the big screen, a clear indication that the actor is recreating himslef and exploring different grounds, Turks is also doing the same thing to keep its customers excited whenever they visit a branch.

In time for the release of Cruz's endorsement video, Turks also released to the market its newest offering --- Turks Rice Bowl, which is a complete meal. You can choose beef or chicken for your rice topping, and it is priced at P50. The Small Pita Donner on the other hand, is priced at P35.

The long wait is finally over for movie aficionados as ABS-CBN Film Productions Inc. (Star Cinema) opens the 3rd quarter of 2017 with “Finally Found Someone” --- the biggest and most highly anticipated Filipino romantic-comedy (rom com) of the season starring two of the Philippines’ box- office superstars, John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo

Directed by one of the Philippine film industry’s fast-rising directors Theodore Boborol and with a story written and developed by Carmi Raymundo and Gilliann Ebreo, “Finally Found Someone” marks the much-awaited silver screen reunion of the mega blockbuster tandem of Cruz and Geronimo. The power tandem’s last team up was the smash hit “It Takes A Man And A Woman” way back in 2013, part of the trilogy that started it all --- “A Very Special Love” and which was followed by “You Changed My Life”, both also written by Raymundo.
Today, four years after the historic and phenomenal third and final installment of the love story of Miggy Montenegro and Laida Magtalas, Cruz and Geronimo are set to breathe life into the characters of Raffy and April – two totally different characters in a brand new story that retains Star Cinema’s great tradition of narrating unforgettable romantic comedies, the excitement of which is consistently felt by moviegoers of all ages across the world.

“Finally Found Someone” is centered on the unexpected romance between Raffy Sandoval (Cruz), a PR hotshot who masterfully crafts lies for a living, and April Esguerra (Geronimo), an honest-to-goodness girl who has difficulty masking her true emotions. A PR crisis brings the two together, and they discover that they have so much in common despite the fact that they are polar opposites --- they are kindred souls on a quest for something that will complete their lives.

It will be very interesting to witness Cruz and Geronimo play the roles of Raffy and April --- which Raymundo and Ebreo created for them --- and see how love will fit in the picture in the lives of these two different characters: one, a cutthroat, career-driven overachiever while the other is an honest, sincere, and idealistic girl who believes in the power of true love.

This big-screen comeback of Cruz and Geronimo is a major event in the Philippine entertainment industry not only because it is their next collaboration after their last successful team up also but also because it will once again try to showcase their immense power in the box office as brought about by their exhilarating chemistry in the genre of romantic-comedy.
Geronimo who is dubbed the Philippines’ Popstar Royalty and is a widely followed concert performer, shared that while she wanted to go the route of a different genre, she could not forego the project: “Our (Cruz) connection is different. Chemistry is a gift they say. It’s a gift for some people, especially because we are able to use the project to give happiness. We get surprised as to how we affect other people so we thank the Lord for people who continue to believe in us”.

It should be noted that “Finally Found Someone” is also the third movie of Boborol since the breakout box-office success of Star Cinema’s Metro Manila Film Festival 2016 entry “Vince & Kath & James” and “Just The Way You Are”.

Like his two successful flicks, “Finally Found Someone” will make one believe in love again. It is a movie for every person who fell in love and got hurt; whose relationship did not work out; and for those who lost all faith in love. This romantic-comedy will convert every jaded heart into true believers of love because the journey of Raffy and April is the journey of everyone in the quest for that one person who will reciprocate the love one has to offer.

On his part, Box Office King Cruz who is on his own, known for his award-winning and poignant performances, still believes in finding the one. He shares: “I don’t think you’ll know. When it hits you, that’s it. Honestly, I really don’t know. In this movie, a lot of lines from Sarah hit to the core and made me think. There came questions that entered my mind, and which I processed. There will be come a day when that (the one) will happen so I am not losing hope”.

“Finally Found Someone” also stars Joey Marquez, Yayo Aguila, Tetchie Agbayani, Dennis Padilla, Leo Rialp, Alwyn Uytingco, Alexa Ilacad, Christian Babbles, Joj Agpangan, Milo Elmido Jr., Justin Cuyugan, Ruby Ruiz, PJ Endrinal, Lemuel Pelayo, Cara Eriguel, Neggy, Axel Torres, and April Matienzo, with the special participation of Enchong Dee.

Fall in love with the inimitable tandem of John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo all over again in Finally Found Someone, which hits cinemas in key countries worldwide this July and August: July 30 in Torino, Italy; August 3 Middle East, Brunei and Papua New Guinea; August 4 U.S., Canada and Saipan; August 5 Vienna, Austria; August 6 Rome and Milan Italy; Madrid, Spain; Copenhagen; Denmark; and Malta; August 5, 6,8 and 10 United Kingdom; August 10 Australia and New Zealand; August 13 Hong Kong and Taiwan; and August 20 Singapore and soon in other countries.

Exclusive F3 Sarah Limited Edition Smartphone also launches as part of her 3rd year anniversary with OPPO.

OPPO gives its full support to the much anticipated big-screen comeback of Sarah Geronimo, who stars in this year's biggest romantic-comedy of the year, Finally Found Someone.

Pinoy fans are in for a roller coaster ride of emotions as Raffy and April (Geronimo) take us through the interwining of their polar opposite lives- living through a PR crisis with a cutthroat, career-driven over achiever while the other end of the spectrum is an honest, sincere, and idealistic girl who believes in the powers of the heart.
Director Theodore Borobol (Vince and Kath and James) aims to excite fans in this not-so-typical rom-com by showing the versatility of both Sarah and her on-screen partner. The intense tension between the characters will keep the viewers on their feet and waiting in anticipation on whether or not they can see past their differences and have their relationship blossom into something more.
