Maja Salvador stars in ‘Niña Niño,’ her first banner serye on TV5

Tweet

Primetime TV Majesty, Maja Salvador, is ready to reign once again in ”Niña Niño,” her first-ever teleserye on TV5. 

Maja plays the lead role of Niña, the older half of the sibling duo in the eponymous feel-good drama-comedy. 2017 Cinemalaya Best Actor Noel Comia Jr., plays her younger brother Niño who ventures out to the big city with her and discovers that life is anything but a bed of roses. In order to survive, they turn to extraordinary measures to make ends meet as con-artists who scam their way to earn an extra buck. An event will upend their lives and change the course of their destinies forever.

The dramedy genre is a first for Salvador who is known to portray titular roles in dramas. The new series showcases her versatility as an actor fully able to make her audience laugh, cry, and empathize with every character she plays.

The show’s vision echoes calls for hopeful stories, finding joy in life’s magical minutiae amidst these trying times. Joining Salvador and Comia Jr. are comedian Empoy Marquez, and veteran actors Lilet Esteban and Ruby Ruiz whose role as the siblings’ grandmother holds an integral part of explaining the dynamics between the duo. Rounding up the cast are up-and-coming actors Ian Pangilinan, Sachzna, and Junyka Santarin, joined by Arron Villaflor, Moi Bien, and Dudz Teraña. At the helm of the series is award-winning director Thop Nazareno.

Each episode weaves heartwarming anecdotes that emphasize the show’s inspirational trope: discovering oneself, adapting to the changes, and coming better and stronger after every struggle. The strength of the show lies in the story that redefines our understanding of real-life miracles complemented by the cast whimsically engaging with the reality of their situation and environment. Ultimately, Niño and Niña make us realize the true meaning of healing, forgiveness, and finding freedom in an unlikely place.

Produced by Cignal Entertainment and line-produced by CS Studios and Spring Films led by Erickson Raymundo, veteran director Joyce Bernal, and top-tier actor Piolo Pascual. ”Niña Niño” is set to air as one of the new anchor shows of TV5’s revitalized primetime block, TodoMax Primetime Singko.

Catch Maja Salvador as Niña and Noel Comia Jr as Niño on TV 5 starting April 5, 7:15 PM Mondays to Fridays, after Sing Galing, and right before FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.

With Billy Joe Crawford and Xian Lim, TV5’s Newest Game Shows You Shouldn’t Miss

Tweet

Indulge in heart-stopping thrill and laughter as the newest game shows liven up your home screens

TV5 ushers the beginning of the Summer Season with two fresh and exciting additions to its game show roster: The Wall Philippines and 1000 Heartbeats - Pintig Pinoy, produced by VIVA Entertainment, are set to be released just a week apart. The Kapatid Network offers a respite by adding to their impressive line-up of entertainment programs - infusing novelty and variety in their programming.

After being lauded as the Best Male Variety Show Host for TV5’s noontime program Lunch Out Loud, Billy Joe Crawford embarks on a new hosting feat as the face of The Wall Philippines, his third running show under the Kapatid network.

Billy Joe Crawford

The Wall is like a giant pachinko game with a twist. The mechanics are simple: get a correct answer to get a GREEN ball, miss a question, and get a RED ball; green adds to the total pot money while red deducts. The game is played by two players with a close familiarity, with the first episodes featuring blood-related contestants. The pair works as a team to bank as much money they can by answering a series of questions. After the third round is a decision round, where drama and hilarity ensues.

Xian Lim

Renowned TV actor, model, and performer Xian Lim will be joined by comedian and Youtuber Chad Kinis, for the heart-clutching and exhilarating variety program 1000 Heartbeats-Pintig Pinoy.

Each of the contestants will be alloted 1000 heartbeats as its equivalent of a time limit to answer a set of questions. With the help of a monitoring equipment, the players’ heart rates will be recorded throughout the game, upon which the game is declared over once all 1000 heartbeats are registered. Conversely, the way to win the cash prize is by keeping their cool under pressure in all seven rounds. 

Both shows exhibit a surge of critical thinking and titillation because of their strategy-reliant nature, with The Wall Philippines being more inclined to strengthen relationships 1000 Heartbeats gauging one’s grace and endurance under pressure.

The Wall Philippines is set to premiere on Saturday, March 13 at 6PM on TV5.

1000 Heartbeats-Pintig Pinoy will air its pilot episode the succeeding week, on Sunday, March 21 at 8PM.

Viewers can access both TV5 via the Cignal Play app. Download for FREE for Android and iOS users.

Janine Gutierrez top-bills new psycho-thriller film 'Babae at Baril'

Tweet

Showbiz royalty and the Kapuso leading lady Janine Gutierrez is top-billing a new psycho-thriller film, Babae at Baril, directed by Rae Red. Babae at Baril is an entry to this year's QCinema International Film Festival. 

The movie tackles how it is like to be a woman in a world of violence and masculinity, Babae at Baril is director Rae Red’s sophomore feature and first solo directorial effort.

Janine to showcase a different side of her as she proves her acting versatility.  Here, she's a simple girl, with a gun, and at desperate times. 

In the gripping psychological thriller, Gutierrez portrays a hardworking saleslady who’s had enough of being an underdog. Just as she decides to take things into her own hands, she myste­riously finds a gun on her doorstep. 

Empowered by the weapon, her bitter past comes rushing back to her and rather than wallow in it, it angers and transforms her. With a gun, she can do whatever she wants, talk back to whoever she wants and even hurt those who have wronged her.

This one story that makes me nervous, in pain, ask why and feel sorry for people on that so desperate situation in life.

A handgun for everyone, like a young lady (as Janine in the movie), to consider for self-defense... I sometimes understand that there are, unfortunately, cases where a gun may have helped a victim. In the movie Babae at Baril", there are young boys, also used guns...to fight for themselves, or to do not good things.... Is this a story in defense of carrying guns?

The film stars Janine Gutierrez, Felix Roco, Elijah Canlas, JC Santos, and Sky Teotico with special participation of Ruby Ruiz, Allan Paule, and Archie Adamos and produced by CIGNAL ENTERTAINMENT in partnership with EPIC MEDIA,

"Babae at Baril" showing in selected cinemas (Gateway Mall, Ayala Trinoma, Robinsons Galleria, UPFI Cine Adarna, Cinema 76 Anonas and Cinema Centenario in QC on Oct 15-22, 2019.

Ai-Ai delas Alas and Bayani Agbayani top bill rom-com 'Feelennial'

Tweet

People will enjoy this funny and feel-good  rom-com movie "Feelennial" with  Comedy and Box Office Queen Ai-Ai Delas Alas and versatile comedian and host Bayani Agbayani, as mid-aged people trying to find love in the digital age. 

These days,  many funny and adorable not so young people,  the 'titos and titas,' uncles and aunts try to adapt to the lifestyle of the younger generation. 

"Feelennial," a portmanteau of "feeling millennials," is about middle-aged individuals who feel and act like millennials. They are your adorable titos and titas, who stumble into one  misadventure after another as they try to adopt the lifestyle of the younger  generation. 

Romantic comedies are always a hit among Pinoys, as local movie-goers love the combination of a good laugh and the kilig feeling they get from these light-hearted movies.

"Feelennial" movie contains the ingredients of a sure blockbuster hit.

Ai-Ai plays the role of Madame Bato-bato, a rich single mom who has everything she needs except the attention of her only son Nico, played by actor-model Arvic Tan. She tries to do the activities that her millennial son is into to gain the latter's attention. In one of her feelennial activities-online dating, she meets Chito (Bayani's character), a rich bachelor who recently won a huge sum via lotto jackpot.

Their first encounter doesn't turn out too well, and what ensues is a flurry of mishaps and misadventures, pitting De las Alas and Agbayani into funny, yet thought-provoking situations on how romance and family dynamic has changed in today's society.

Both Ai-Ai and Bayani are surrounded at work by a young group of stars and production people, whose millennial habits they have somewhat imbibed as well. These include cast members Nar Cabico as Dua, Ina Feleo as Tahoma, Nicole Donesa as Cambria, Jelai Andres as Aerial, Nicole Donesa as Cambria, Sofia delas Alas as Sophia, Skelly Skelly as Dope, Micah Muñoz as Shanty, Arvic Tan as Nico and Raffy Roque as Efril, with special participation of Mart Nievera, Pops Fernandez, and Paolo Ballesteros.

Both Ai-Ai and Bayani said they find playing their roles in the movie a breeze as they can fully relate to their characters. With four grown-up children, Ai-Ai has always practiced the millennial vibe as she is into #0otd's, constantly takes selfies and groufies and regularly uploads these on her social media accounts. Bayani is also a certified "titolennial." Married for over two decades to his wife Lenlen, he gets his inspiration from their four young millennial daughters.

Directed by one of GMA 7's resident directors, Rechie del Carmen, Feelennial is produced by Cignal Entertainment, the original content division of the Philippine's #1 Pay TV provider, Cignal TV, and Pops Fernandez's DSL Productions, which marks its first venture into film production after organizing successful concerts for over 30 years.

Bring the whole family to watch Feelennial, which opens in cinemas on June 19.
