Regal Entertainment's opening 2018 with an inspirational drama movie “Mama’s Girl” starring Sylvia Sanchez and Sofia Andres as mother and daughter facing the challenges in life.
“Mama’s Girl” tackles issues facing parents and
children today.
"We want to start the year right by giving our audience
something that will inspire them more to embrace change, make more time for the
people who matter most and live life to the fullest," shared Roselle

This movie will definitely melt the hearts of those who will watch this, even
if you’re a mother, a daughter or a full pledge “mama’s girl.”
"Mama's Girl" will somehow open an issue and try
to bridge the gap between the thrill-seeking millennials and the overly
concerned older generation. Lahat tayo ay may matututunan sa bawat isa
pagkatapos ng pelikula.”

that her career will sudden reach it's highest peak to date after The Greatest
Love.
Following the success of ‘Greatest Love’, Sylvia plays another important role again in an inspirational movie .
After playing so many mother roles on TV and in films –
usually conservative, martyr-like, and frumpy, losyang in her own words, Sylvia says this movie shows a
different mother “Ibang tipo naman
ng nanay ang makikilala ninyo dito, makabago, fighter, a millennial mom. Kung
sa 'Greatest Love' at 'Hanggang Saan' ay nakita nyo ako bilang isang martir na
ina na isasakripisyo ang lahat para sa anak.
Sylvia considers her first movie this 2018 as a blessing.
She said, "Napakasarap sa pusong maging bahagi ng isang proyekto na alam

Girl” movie will touch your heart and make you appreciate your family
especially your mothers more,”said Sylvia.
At Mama’s Girl” movie, Sylvia and Sofia as mother and
daughter facing the challenges in life.
Makakarelate ang mga nanay sa character ni Sofia, “Ang
millennials madalas hindi lubos na naiintindihan ang kanilang mga magulang.”
"Single mom man o hindi, lahat ng nanay ay magsasabing
naranasan o narararanasan nila ang pinagdadaanan ni Mina (her role in Mama’s
Girl). Yung punto ng buhay mo na mapapaisip ka kung anong nangyari sa anak mo
at sa relasyon nyong mag-ina. Napabuti ka nga ba dahil sa akin o mas napasama
pa? Siguradong hindi ka lang iiyak sa mga eksena dito kundi mapapaisip ka
tungkol sa estado ng iyong pamilya," said Sylvia.
Sylvia is very thankful to all the projects and blessings
coming her way especially to Arjo and Ria who already has their own career and
has a name of their own in the entertainment industry.
As she described herself, as what kind of their mother,
"Gagawin ko ang lahat para sa’yo, pero wag nilang tatapakan ang
pagka-Nanay ko. Dapat laging nandun yung respeto."

and daughters, can relate to the story of her character Mina and her daughter
Abby (played by Sofia). She said that through the film, parents and their
millennial kids will understand each other's journey.

Sofia, on the other hand, is thankful to the movie as it
served as an eye-opener. "My character Abby and I are a bit on the same
phase wherein we want to try to be more adventurous to the point that we
sometimes overlook our parent's concern. Sa movie, young people like me will
realize that there are life lessons that we need to learn the hard way at wala
kang ibang dapat gawin kundi matutong manindigan at magbago para sa ikabubuti
mo." Sofia's recent movie with Regal Entertainment was Pwera Usog.

Repertory Philippines has established itself as the premier producer of thought-provoking and entertaining straight plays and musicals. Since 1967, it has produced more than 400 high-caliber shows, and 2016 is set to be another impressive year for theatergoers.
For its 79th season, Repertory is launching five plays that will intrigue, inspire, captivate, and bring out the inner child of every viewer.
From January 15 to February 7, Repertory is staging The Game’s Afoot, a comedic play by Ken Ludwig set in the 1930’s. The story follows William Gillette, a Broadway star known for his portrayal of detective Sherlock Holmes, both in the play and in real life. In The Game’s Afoot, he invites his castmates to his castle in Connecticut for a weekend of fun and games, until someone turns up dead. Gillette must channel his inner Holmes to track the killer and stop the next death. In 2012, The Game’s Afoot won Best Play at the Edgar Allan Poe Awards, an award-giving body hosted by the Mystery Writers of America.
To highlight the Valentine’s season, Repertory will present John Cariani’s Almost, Maine from February 19 to March 13. On a cold, wintry night with the northern lights illuminating the dark sky, the residents of Almost fall in and out of love in unusual ways. The New York Times has described it as a “higher-concept and more clever version of Hollywood [love stories]” with a “beautiful structure.”
For the summer, Repertory is staging Stepping Out from April 1 to 24. Stepping Out, a lively comedy by Richard Harris, tells the story of former chorus girl Mavis who teaches a dance class in a dingy church hall in London. While learning the basics of body language and movement, Mavis must deal with the drama cooking up in the studio. Since it premiered in 1984, it has been staged most notably the West End in London and Broadway in New York. Stepping Out was awarded Best Comedy at the London Evening Standard Theatre Awards, organized by notable British critics and editors.
Repertory has a history of producing child-friendly plays like Pinocchio, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Camp Rock the Musical, and the company is also staging Hansel and Gretel from August 20 to December 15 for the young and young-at-heart. This delightful interpretation of the Brothers Grimm classic follows siblings Hansel and Gretel through their journey in the woods. There, they see a fantastically-designed house made of gingerbread, candy, and ice cream. When they start to eat it, until they are caught and trapped by the witch that lives there. The two must work together to outwit the evil witch and escape the sugary house of horrors.
Running simultaneously with Hansel and Gretel is A Little Princess. Based on the children’s novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett , A Little Princess tells the story of Princess Sarah, who suffers at the hands of Miss Minchin at a boarding school in London. Things turn for the worse when her father dies and she becomes a pauper. The musical will run from November 18 to December 18.
Compared to watching on the big screen or on a television, nothing beats the immediacy, intimacy, and raw talent showcased in stage plays. Repertory is expected to thrill theatergoers this 2016 with its lineup of shows, a diverse mix of comedy and drama for audiences of all ages. See you at the theater!

Jasmine Curtis-Smith in highly-anticipated TV5 series “JasMINE” : Blurring the lines of Reality and Fiction is ready to give audiences an exciting new way to enjoy TV. It premieres on Sunday, June 1, at 9:15PM.
TV5′s upcoming suspense drama series‘Jasmine’ will show the other side of the glitz and glamor of showbiz life.
Breaking away from the traditional romance/drama genre, ‘Jasmine’ is a show full of mystery and suspense that blurs the lines between reality and fiction.
The suspence drama series stars Jasmine Curtis Smith who plays a fictional version of herself: an indie actress who is on the verge of becoming a mainstream celebrity. She faces the usual challenges in the show biz industry: failed relationships, rivalries, the pressure to win awards, and unsuccessful auditions. Amidst all this, Jasmine begins to receive mysterious messages from Maskara, an obsessed fan who is willing to do anything to make her happy—even if it means hurting everyone around her.
A creation of award-winning advertising agency Ace Saatchi & Saatchi, in partnership with Unitel and TV5, ‘Jasmine’ brings the story to life 24/7 by also making its characters exist online—and in person.
One example is how supporting character Wendell Bautista, a famous entertainment blogger and friend of Jasmine’s on the show, has an actual blog, Facebook Page, and Twitter and Instagramaccounts—all of which are regularly updated. Wendell has even appeared in blogger and fan events to support Jasmine’s endeavors.
Then there’s Maskara, who takes cyberstalking to a new level, and displays his love for Jasmine in his digital shrine: jasmineallmine.com.
Meanwhile, news about the show, behind-the-scenes photos, and character profiles are viewable on the ‘Jasmine’ Facebook Page, and Twitter and Instagram accounts.
TV5 also introduces its TV5 Mobile app which Android-users can tune into while the episodes air. Trivia and other cool facts about the show and its characters pop up in real time. Be on the lookout as well, for promos to win phones, load, and more.

Big names from TV5 are also expected to make cameos throughout the show’s nine-episode run.
A group of students of varying sexual orientation form an after-school club as a discreet way to share their feelings and experiences.
Geography Club is a film adaptation of the award winning novel by Brent Hartinger. The movie is a comedy about teenagers who are discovering their sexual identities.
The high school students create a “Geography Club” which is actually a cover for an LGBT support group where the students can freely talk about their issues and give support with each other. It explores the teen’s hopes, values and dreams while on this journey of going public and offering the whole school support. “Geography Club" is more of a subtle comedy that is very realistic and tied to events that we can relate to in one way or another. "Geography Club" is a very nice movie that you should take the time to sit down and watch.
"GEOGRAPHY CLUB" is based on Brent Hartinger's best-selling critically acclaimed novel. "What am I looking for?" 16-year old Russell Middlebrook asks himself as he heads off on his newest adventure. Russell is still going on dates with girls. Kevin will do anything to prevent his football teammates from finding out what he is concealing. Min and Terese tell everyone they're really just good friends. And then there's Ike who can't figure out who he is or who he wants to be. But the truth is too hard to hide-at least from each other-so they form the Geography Club. Nobody else will discover the truth about them as no other students in their right mind would ever want to join as geography sounds so boring. Their secrets will be safe from their classmates. But are they? "Geography Club" is a smart, fast, moving and funny account of contemporary teenagers as they discover their own sexual identities, dreams and values and not merely live out their parents' desires and ambitions.

"The Legal Wife” will not just heat up primetime TV with fierce confrontations but with real-life issues as well, according to top caliber directors Rory Quintos and Dado Lumibao.
“We want to make sure that our audience will follow our show not only because of the slapping scenes, but also because, through it, they learn how to deal with the problems of their own families, which they have been afraid to face,” said Direk Rory about the Primetime Bida series topbilled by Angel Locsin, Maja Salvador, JC de Vera, and Jericho Rosales
“Many viewers will be able to connect with the characters of Monica (Angel), Nicole (Maja), Max (JC), and Adrian (Jericho), because their personal battles are true-to-life. ‘Legal Wife’ is about the love and sacrifices that a person is willing to do for the sake of his family,” Direk Dado explained.
Meanwhile, Angel, Maja, JC, and Echo revealed that story of “The Legal Wife” also made them discover a lot about themselves.

For Echo, the plot of “The Legal Wife” will serve as a huge eye-opener for Filipino families. “Infidelity is such a sensitive topic, but I believe that this is the right time to make everyone understand why this happens, and why people end up in this situation,” he said.
Maja added that while her character in the series is controversial, she believes that many people will be able to relate with Nicole.
“There are many kinds of love, but there is this kind where somebody accepts your whole personality despite of the things that you did in the past,” she shared.
“I appreciate love for my family and for others now more that I used to because of my character Max’s ability to give everything he has got without asking for anything in return,” JC said.
“The Legal Wife” features the story of Monica and Adrian, a married couple whose lives are about to turn around because of a huge mistake. How will Monica and Adrian be able to fulfill the promise of forever when the foundation of their relationship begins is already shattered?
