I am honored and grateful that GMA gave me an opportunity to have a date with their Kapuso Stars, a date-one on one interview. It was a tiring night but it was a rare opportunity to interview 7 stars in one night.
Bloggers were given a 3-minute time to interview each of the artists and once the bell rings we then move to another artist, isn't exciting? Yes, it is! What a meaningful and great idea from the staff of GMA Network.
Well my first stop is JUANCHO TRIVINO, It was my first time to talk to him one on one though I've interviewed him already during one of the blogcons I've attended and it was with the bloggers group. He first started his acting career when he auditioned for the youth oriented TV show of GMA Network called Teen Gen. He later got one of the major roles. Apart from dramatic acting in GMA soaps, Juancho shows comedic skills that landed him a spot on the longest-running gag show, Bubble Gang. He is currently taking up Business Management, and told to him "that was my course way back in College". I like him because he gives priority on his studies. He can sing but he is not into dancing according to him.
My next date is ASHLEY ORTEGA, a very sexy teenager and the height is very much good as a beauty queen. She shared her diet regimen, she eat brunch-combine meal, meal for breakfast and lunch, she usually eat lots of viand than rice then on dinner lots of fruits only, in addition to that she jog and do exercise to maintain her sexy figure. She loves to dance. Ashley was first seen on GMA's Cielo de Angelina, which was quickly followed with major roles on Dormitoryo, Paraiso Ko'y Ikaw, My Destiny and currently on Kailan Ba Tama ang Mali which was first aired last Feb 9. She is also busy doing her upcoming sitcom "Insta-Dad" where Gabi Eigenman is her Dad and her love team is Juancho Trivino.
My third date that night was JANINE GUTIERREZ daughter of renowned actors Ramon Christopher and Lot Lot De Leon, her parents didn't let her enter showbiz until Janine graduated from college in 2011. In her three years in GMA, Janine portrayed different roles in GMA shows like Makapiling Kang Muli, My Beloved , Together Forever and Villa Quintana. Aside from the said shows, Janine continues to prove her versatility as a host and performer in the weekend variety show, Sunday All Stars. This year, Janine got her first primetime role as "Ikay" in More Than Words, and she is busy doing the last few scene on this teleserye. After more than words, she is busy doing mall shows and the Sunday all stars, no project yet so she will have time to travel according to her. She is looking forward to work with her mom on a movie or teleserye.
Next was KEN ALFONSO, who sung first on the event just before the kapuso Insta-Date. Actually Ken is the voice behind the Koreanovela Secret Love Theme song "Umaasa". He has a cover of "All of Me" with beauty queen Venus Raj that now has gone viral. Some of his GMA projects are Dading and Kailan Ba Tama ang Mali?. Ken is busy now with the taping of the latter teleserye. Ken confessed that he's a fan of Julie Anne San Jose and would like to be paired with her on a project in the future. He was formerly in the corporate world before he entered showbiz. He resigned there and focus on her showbiz career.
It was really tiring, hahaha, but I enjoyed to be with Kapuso Stars.
My fifth date was ENZO PINEDA, the artist with so much words expressed during the interview, one question hits me with too many answers but still I enjoyed talking to him. According to him he is busy now with More Than Words, doing indie movies, so many regional shows around the Philippines, and of course he is on training as a Triathlon, whew, so busy Enzo. Well he explained that it's good that he keep his self very occupied when he is taking a break from work, because of his Triathlon training.
And my second to the last date was STEPHANIE SOL, a very talkative and enjoyable girl, love it very much. She's so Kikay in answering all my question though there are things that she's not yet sure because she's still new in showbiz, like she don't know what kind of acting she's good at. She was discovered by GMA Artist Center. She was part of GMA Artist Center roster of talents that were launched last Jan 5 2014. Her first project as a Kapuso was Carmela, where she played the best friend of Carmela, Marian Rivera. Her potential as a kontrabida was noticed when she played "Carla" in the first medical drama on Philippine TV, Sa Puso Ni Dok. The former Miss Teen Philippines winner, who hails from Cagayan de Oro, now plays the lead mean girl "Belle Acosta" in More Than Words.
Finally my last date ELMO MAGALONA, I think I made a few question to Elmo, Elmo and I were tired also, hahaha, but still we enjoyed it very much. He is now busy doing the taping of last few scene for More Than Words, after MTW he will be seen as usual at Sunday All Stars. No teleserye yet after MTW. He seems so happy with his showbiz girlfriend Janine Gutierrez.
What a date!!! This is a very different kind of date nor a usual interview. Very intimate, the venue just matches with the event. Thank you for the opportunity to have a date with your artist in a very creative one.
