I'LL NEVER SAY GOODBYE/MAGPAHANGGANG-WAKAS takes on Africa: ABS Uganda, KTN Kenya, MyTV Africa for the rest of Subsaharan Africa

Magpahanggang-Wakas is heaven-sent to ABS-CBN this year. Christmas is near (meaning, the year is almost through) but the supposed country's biggest TV network has only sold one 2017-produced teleserye this year. That doesn't mean however that it doesn't lord over the current teleserye domination of Africa. The continent is awash with the rerun of successful pre-2017 teleseryes from the station: hits like Dolce Amore, Doble Kara, The Promise, On The Wings of Love (this one will take over shortly  the slot of I'll Never Say Goodbye on My TV Africa), etc.

I am sure, the ABS-CBN bigwigs will be studying the success of GMA in selling more new teleseryes abroad this year. It turned out high domestic ratings is not a guarantee of international success. This teleserye is a case in point. Who would have thought that unlike the 2017 blockbusters, it would eventually be the  only one to be sold  abroad?

Meanwhile, teleserye celebrates its current reign in Africa...

John Lloyd Cruz & Ellen Adarna Have A 'You & Me Against The World' Stance And Just Ignore All Negative Comments About Their Relationship

JOHN LLOYD CRUZ and Ellen Adarna seem to be so madly in love with each other that they have taken a "you and me against the world" stance. They are oblivious to all the criticisms hurles against them and they even seem to enjoy the controversies they are involved in. JLC apologized before, saying he regretted the postings on social media of him acting weirdly and doing the dirty finger sign. But soon after his apology, he posted more gross and yucky photos that we'd rather not describe here at all.

This will not be objectionable if JLC had the same reputation as his "Tabing Ilog" contemporary who's also done a lot of controversial things, Baron Geisler. But JLC is an A-lister, an award-winning and respectable actor. There are occasional reports about him having a drinking problem but he is still admired by a lot of people, both young and old.


But what he's doing now is worse than anything he has done before. Someone says that he seems to be bent on trekking the road to self-destruction, demolishing whatever gains and respectability he has earned for himself before in his long career that started when he was still a teenager.

And it seems JLC is really doing it on purpose. As they say in Tagalog, nananadya. Because a lot of people already lambasted him but he did more undesirable things to taunt them. Maybe he should just tie the knot with Ellen so they can fully enjoy each other's company to the max. Then they can do whatever they want us a couple and just turn a deaf ear to all those who bash them. Who knows? They might even live happily never after. And as the saying goes: "Laging nasa huli ang pagsisisi!"
