Those are the reasons that made the Lolas of Kalye Serye well loved, not only by few but most of the viewers. Since the Lolas are well loved by so many they wanted to give something in return. Something that will let their supporters enjoy, laugh and be happy, a movie that will a bit scare but mostly will make everyone laugh, a movie entitled "Trip Ubusan: The Lolas vs Zombies".

Television's popular Lolas - Lola Tinidora (Jose Manalo), Lola Nidora (Wally Bayola) and Lola Tidora (Paolo Ballesteros) - take on a bigger challenge as they topbill their very own movie, the family-oriented "Trip Ubusan: The Lolas vs Zombies", now showing in theaters.

The lolas meet a group of terrified youngsters, namely Marcy (Ryzza Mae Dizon), Irish (Taki Saito), Aladin (Kennet Medrano), Cath (Shaira Mae Dela Cruz), Will (Miggy Tolentino) and Melo (Jayvhot Galang).

The three Super Lolas take it upon themselves to help save not only their grandchild but other zombie targets as well.

However, are thy strong enough to win the battle?

"Trip Ubusan: The Lolas vs Zombies" is considered as Jose, Wally and Paolo's biggest movie as a comic trip although they have appeared together in one of Vic Sotto's previous films.

The trio gained strong following worldwide via Eat Bulaga's Kalye Serye segment which produced the phenomenal Aldub loveteam of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza.

The audiences simply love the wisdom and values the Lolas impart to viewers

They continue to share these in the morning talk show, "The Lolas' Beautiful Show" where they also display their unique brand of wit, humor and fashion/hairstyle.

Suspense, horror and comedy at its best-that's what Lola Tinidora, Lola Nidora and Lola Tidora offer moviegoers in their firs film venture under the direction of Mark Reyes.
Also in the cast of "Trip Ubusan" are Angelika Dela Cruzl Arthur Solinap, Lovely Abella witht he special participation of Rochelle Pangilinan, Joshua Zamora, Nino Muhlach and Al Tantay.

We'll see if this movie will be enjoyed by our kids and if they find the teaser appealing even though there's this monsters and zombies around, perhaps we'll watch it. The kids loves the Lolas very much. We'll definitely have a great bonding experience watching this movie.

"Trip Ubusan: The Lolas vs Zombies" is a joint production of APT Entertainment adn M-Zet Productions showing today, November 22.

Movies like this touches me very much because first I'm a woman and knowing that things like this could happen. From the serial comics written by Carlo J. Caparas and a film directed by the National Artist for Film, Lino Brocka, Oro De Siete Films Production, Inc and Viva Films produces the movie,  Angela Markado. Through the eyes of its writer Carlos J. Caparas directs this year's remake of the film with Andi Eigenmann plays the role of Angela's character. Together with the great casts like Epi Quizon, Paolo Contis, Felix Rocco, Polo Ravales, CJ Caparas, Mika Dela Cruz, Isabelle Peach, Bugoy Carino, Buboy Villar, Anna Roces, Marita Zobel, Bembol Rocco and Bret Jackson.


The film is about the story of Angela who was forced to work as a waitress in one of the classy bars in Manila when her mother suffered stroke and so she could continue her school as well as her siblings Imee and Jmmy. During her work at the bar she meets five patrons of the bar, who turn out to be her rapists led by Leo, a rancher; Tory, a drug dealer; Garrix, a drug courrier Jack, a drug user; and Bren, a tattoo artist. She was later on kidnapped, raped, tortured and beaten by the five men and worse they tattooed their names on Angela's back. She was able to escaped with the help of Sabel but what happened to her mother and boyfriend made her have a life's mission to kill the five men with their own brand of brutality by wearing wigs and costumes, and stalking the men with a handy switchblade.

I have been watching teleseryes when I'm at home and I have seen how Andi Eigenmann play the roles of the characters. She's indeed a controversial hit maker and made a remarkable portrayal of the characters she played. According to Director Carlo J. Caparas Andi's acting prowess will make the Angela Markado he imagine will come alive in this movie remake. A vengeful victim unmerciful and most brutal woman.

This movie genre is going to be a big mark for Andi not only that the movie is a multi-awarded movie by Lino Brocka but it is also from the renowned multi-awarded filmmaker Carlo J. Caparas. According to Andi "I believe in the project, a byword and multi-awarded movie by Lino Brocka, and now, to be handled by another mulit-awarded filmmaker Carlo J. Caparas... this is really a big one for me ! A different kind of drama-thriller-shocker movie... a dream role and project... hindi ko po pakakawalan at sasayangin ito... matagal kong hinintay ang role na ito... it's worth the wait!"

For mommies and fans of Andi Eigenmann here's a chance to see her on a different kind of role that will surely give you mix emotions with the character Angela. Is she a criminal to be convicted or a victim to be symphatized? Watch the movie on December 2, 2015 know what happens at the end of the movie.

"Refreshing na makasama si Dingdong kasi di ko lagi nakikita,  I had fun working with him" Bea said. "He tries to improve his self and humbling experience na wag dadalhin sa ulo ang success", Bea added.  While on the other hand, Dingdong to Bea. "She is so nice and no pretension at all".

Oh, I will definitely have a date with my hubby to watch this movie. So watch for my movie review.  Hopefully!

It's been a decade since the last time I watched Maria Mercedes with Thalia as the lead star.  I am a big fan of Thalia way back when I was a teenager, I used to watch her Teleserye and I loved it very much.

Now that ABS CBN will do a Pinay version of Maria Mercedes I am so excited and curious to know how it will be delivered with a touch of Pinoy style.  The Pinay Maria Mercedes role will be played by Jessy Mendiola.  She is considered as one of Philippine TV's prettiest faces, one of the sexiest and talented actress of this generation.


Jessy is very grateful and happy that she will portray the role of Maria Mercedes. "Dream role ko maging Maria Mercedes" Jessy said.  Bloggers asked her what is her similar traits with Maria Mercedes in her life, she said "Palaban ako, mas lalo na pagdating sa pamilya, sobrang lahat na gawin nyo sa akin wag nyo lang papakialaman ang pamilya ko. So ganun din si Maria Mercedes, kapag may umapi sa mga kapatid n'ya, sa pamilya n'ya, aawayin talaga n'ya."

The Pinay “Maria Mercedes” will surely make Filipinos laugh, cry, and fall in love all over again with her colorful story,” said Mendiola.  “Viewers will get to relate to the story even more as we highlight true Filipino values especially our unconditional love for our family.”


Follow the bittersweet story of “Maria Mercedes” as she faces life’s struggles and experiences falling in love for the first time.

From a simple life in the province, “Maria Mercedes,” together with her father and siblings, will move to Manila from the province to move on from the pain caused by her mother. But things will not go as planned when her father suddenly dies and “Maria Mercedes” is left with no choice but to take on the responsibility of raising her younger brother and sister at her very young age.

As time passes, “Maria Mercedes” works her way to survive in the metro and is able to provide for siblings Rosario (Devon Seron) and Andres (Yogo Singh) by juggling different but decent jobs alongside her childhood friend Clavio (Jason Abalos).

But her world will take a different turn once her heart starts to beat for the handsome and rich businessman Luis Sancuevas (Jake Cuenca). How will “Maria Mercedes” deal with her feelings for Luis? Who will go against their budding love? How will fate turn things around as Santiago (Ariel Rivera) enters “Maria Mercedes’” life?
