Award Winning Documentary On Imelda Marcos To Be Shown On GMA News TV Channel 11



Few contemporary political figures of this century have been as controversial and outspoken - or as misunderstood - as Imelda Marcos, former First Lady and widow of the late Ferdinand Marcos, who was the President of the Philippines for 18 years.

US based Filipina filmmaker Ramona Diaz captures the essence of Imelda in an award-winning documentary to be shown on GMA News TV this weekend.

The feature documentary details Mrs. Marcos’ rise from humble provincial origins with a combination of guile, ambition and beauty to become one of the richest and most powerful women in contemporary history and one of the few known by her first name.

Imelda tells her story through rare interviews and archival footage as well as scenes from her daily life in which she is both vivacious and intriguing.

Ciara Sotto Mauled By Gian Magdangal In 'Hari Ng Tondo' Without Knowing She's Already Pregnant

CIARA SOTTO looks so pretty at the presscon of “Hari ng Tondo” so some folks said the baby she’s carrying in her womb must be a girl. But sorry, folks, her and husbands Jojo Oconer’s first born will be a boy. In “Hari ng Tondo”, she plays Gian Magdangal’s battered girlfriend. Each time Gian asks for sex and she’d refuse, he’d hit her on the tummy. “I didn’t know yet then that I was already pregnant,” says Ciara. “E, si Gian, tinototoo niya ang eksena, even slamming me against the wall. Hindi niya kaya ang acting lang, so natatamaan talaga ako, pati si Cris Villonco. Nasasaktan kami talaga. Pero nakakatulong naman sa eksena kasi totoong-totoo talaga ang dating. Maski noong sumali sa ‘Celebrity Dance Battle’ ng TV5, hindi ko pa rin alam na buntis na ako at hinahagis-hagis ako ng partner ko. Mabuti na lang, matibay yung kapit ng baby ko kaya hindi ako nakunan. He is due to come sa first week of March.”

She’s so happy to be a part of “Hari ng Tondo”. “When Tita Bibeth Orteza (who wrote the script) asked me if I’m available for a role in the comeback film of Tito Carlitos Siguion Reyna, nag-yes agad ako kahit hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang story at ang role ko. Favorite ko kasi ang movies ni Tito Carlitos, lalo na ang ‘Hihintayin Kita sa Langit’. Pero noong una, kinabahan ako kasi istrikto raw siya and a perfectionist. But he turned out be a very caring and encouraging director. Sobrang natuwa ako nang pinuri-puri niya ang acting ko.”

“Hari ng Tondo” will be released by Star Cinema in commercial theatres on October 1. It also stars Rafa Siguion Reyna, Ali Sotto, Liza Lorena, Rez Cortez, Lui Manzala, Aiza Seguerra, Eric Quizon and Lorenz Martinez.

'Be Careful With My Heart' Ends on November 28


After more than two years on air, Philippines' most-watched morning TV series "Be Careful With My Heart" will conclude on November 28 as announced by its lead stars Jodi Sta. Maria and Richard Yap.

Since it debuted in July 2012, "Be Careful With My Heart" has remained the No. 1 daytime program in the Philippines, according to Kantar Media.

The popularity of the series has also spawned a line of merchandise, a gold-selling official soundtrack album, and a wedding magazine special, among others.

The New York Festivals-nominated series was, at one point, also set to be translated into a movie. However, due to the "tight schedule" in filming the TV series, the big-screen version was eventually pulled out from the 2013 Metro Manila Film Festival.

Originally slated for a one-season run, "Be Careful With My Heart" initially centered on Maya dela Rosa (Sta. Maria) as a barrio lass with big dreams, and her love story with Richard Lim (Yap), a widowed businessman with three children.

Due to the series' popularity, it has been extended numerous times, with several "milestones" in the relationship of the nanny-turned-flight attendant and her former employer marking highlights throughout the program's run.

These developments in their love story also became worldwide trending topics on Twitter, from their first date, first exchange of "I love you's," first kiss, to Richard's wedding proposal to Maya.

Over the two-year run of "Be Careful With My Heart," Maya and Richard have gotten married, welcomed twins, and adjusted to a family life riddled with challenges.

Last July, the show celebrated its second anniversary on air with a grand concert at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City -- a culmination of sorts of the cast's world tour in the past months.

"Be Careful With My Heart" also stars Mutya Orquia, Janella Salvador, Jerome Ponce, Aiza Seguerra, and Sylvia Sanchez. It is under the direction of Jeffrey Jeturian and Mervyn Brondial.

"Kung wala, bakit naman hindi diba?"

This was Jodi Sta Maria's reply when asked if there's a possibility of her falling in love with co-star Richard Yap at the presscon of "Be Careful With My Heart".

The actress, however, made it clear that only if they both weren't in a relationship before the show started. As everyone knows, Jodi is happily in love with Cavite Vice Governor Jolo Revilla while Richard "Ser Chief" is happily married with two kids.

Richard and Jodi worked together for more than two years under one "roof" in ABS-CBN's longest teleserye of recent times Be Careful With My Heart whose days are numbered ending in 45 days.

So with that, what could be the themse song that would fit them? "Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang" or "Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin"? Aminin,... they reallly look good together as a couple. If only....
