Eva Candelaria (Vilma Santos) has been waiting for this day for the last ten years—the birthday party of Guilly Vega (Aga Muhlach), the billionaire who brutally murdered her only daughter a decade ago and escaped justice.

Disguised as a socialite, Eva attends the opulent event with a single goal: revenge. As the night unfolds, she carefully stalks each person involved in her daughter’s murder, inching closer to her ultimate target. But who is the true villain of her story? Is it Guilly or his daughter Nicole (Nadine Lustre)? Unarmed and without a concrete plan, Eva must make life-or-death choices as her options dwindle. Will she fulfill her mission, or will the night claim her life instead?

 

A Gift to Filipino Audiences

In celebration of MMFF’s 50th anniversary, Uninvited stands as a testament to the unparalleled excellence of Filipino filmmaking.

Challenges Faced by Teens Across Generations: A Universally Shared Experience

10:05:00 PM


In the tapestry of teenage life, bad habits, bullying, and family issues have always been part of the story, no matter which generation we're talking about. Whether it's the older generation (baby boomers) or the younger one (Gen Z), it seems like these problems always show up. What makes them different is how they happen, how people deal with them, and how much they affect us. And this is just my thoughts and my observation, I'm not a guru or an expert but probably thoughts of me being once a teenager.

For people who love movies and books, these things are like the essential ingredients in a recipe. Just like a dish isn't tasty without the right spices, growing up isn't complete without these challenges. People often say, and it's somewhat true, that these difficulties are a normal part of growing up. At some point in your life, there's always someone who makes things tough for you. What matters is how you handle it and how it affects you.

 

Recently, during a press event for the TV show "Senior High," one of the main actresses, Andrea Brillantes, talked about being bullied. She explained how her experience was very similar to what happens to some characters in the show.

If we look back at the time when the baby boomers were young, there were movies with actors like Dolphy who often played characters dealing with bullying or family problems. Some famous examples are Facifica Falaypay, Captain Barbell, Bondying, and others.


Similarly, in Herbert Bautista's movies, his characters were usually bullied, as seen in films like "Puto" and "Captain Barbell."

Even though these challenges are a natural part of growing up and life's journey, we still need to find the courage to tell others how we feel. While these problems may not be a big deal for some, they have become serious issues for today's generation that require attention and help.

  

The "Senior High" series isn't just showing us what today's young people are going through; it aims to make us aware of what might happen and how it affects them.

The series is sure to spark discussions as it unfolds its story in each episode. According to the actors in the series, viewers will easily connect with the characters, their challenges, and their narratives. While the show addresses some prominent themes, it also delves into the hidden problems within each individual and family, offering opportunities for exploration.

 
Talking openly and honestly is the best way to deal with these issues. If you feel like you need to talk, don't hesitate to confide in someone close to you, like a friend or a family member.

DIREK FM REYES Redefines Artistry in 'NAG-AAPOY NA DAMDAMIN' – A Must-Watch!

8:32:00 PM



Veteran director FM Reyes brings to life an exciting story of revenge, secrets, and mistrust in the new afternoon series “Nag-aapoy na Damdamin” starring JC De Vera, Ria Atayde, Tony Labrusca, and Jane Oineza.

Together with the series co-director Benedict Mique, Direk FM has focused on these key points that made the fiery series pique the interest of viewers:

Intricate storytelling

When Direk FM first heard the story of “Nag-aapoy na Damdamin” he was immediately enticed by the depth and the burning emotions of its characters.


 
He shared, “Nung invited ako to direct, sabi ko confident ako dahil sobrang attracted ako sa kwento. From different perspectives ikukuwento yung pangyayari at iba-iba yung kakalabasan. Ang intricate at delicate ng storytelling ng JRB Creative Production so pagkabasa ko excited ako at alam ko na kailangan nito ng matinghas na pag-aaral.”

Experimenting with male perspectives

Aside from showcasing female perspectives on the show, Direk FM also puts the spotlight on male protagonists to accommodate the changing habits of viewers. Evidently, JC and Tony who play Philip and Lucas respectively earned praise for their effective portrayal of masculine figures.

“Even before the pandemic nababago na ang point of view ng mga manonood. Mas marami dati ang nanay sa bahay and the statistics are showing that there are more househusbands now and so the flavor for theme hindi na lang naco-concentrate sa female centered stories kundi naghahanap na rin ng strong masculine stories. We are also taking the perspective of the male protagonists in the show. You might call it experimental kasi kung sanay na yung manonood na ganoon na ang sensibility kaya that is something quite new na we are offering,” said Direk FM.

Getting to the character’s core

He might be strict but Direk FM certainly knows how to encourage artists to be the best version of themselves when portraying their character.

He said, "Kapag binasa nila yung script and from what they have deduced out of it, I ask them, 'What do you think drives your character? What is the core?' Incidentally, ang lalim ng kwento, ang hirap ipaliwanag, hindi pwedeng hindi ka mag-aral, susuriin nila yung kalolooban nila kasi ang basehan ko lang palagi ay truth in performance and you get to see if the eyes are lying, if it’s not convincing enough. In that process, you’re not just a director para ka na rin psychologist, para ka rin retreat master."


 

Elevating the quality

The pandemic has greatly affected how viewers consume content, not to mention the numerous platforms offering various forms of entertainment in just a few clicks. Direk FM noted that these changes challenged them to produce a drama series that can elevate the quality of local TV shows.

"Watching shows has changed a lot during the pandemic. Nagiging mas mataas yung level of appreciation ng mga manonood so nagiging mahirap sa artists pati na rin sa mga nasa likod ng camera. We have to keep up with the time asking of us, the demand for making better shows," he said.

Direk FM’s words of wisdom truly manifested in the sizzling new series "Nag-aapoy na Damdamin" which airs Monday to Friday, 3:50pm on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, iWantTFC, TFC, A2Z, and TV5. For more information on the new series, follow JRB Creative Production on Facebook and Twitter (@JRBcreativeprod) and on Instagram (@JRBcreativeproduction).

Prime Video Announces Premiere Date and Debuts Official Trailer for Cattleya Killer

6:49:00 PM

 

Prime Video today announced the premiere date of Cattleya Killer, an Amazon Exclusive crime-thriller series, and debuted the official trailer. The six-episode series, produced by ABS-CBN International Production and Nathan Studios, is based on a classic ‘90s Filipino film, Sa Aking Mga Kamay (In My Own Hands), and will be available on Prime Video on June 1 in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other selected territories. The series marks the first series collaboration between Prime Video and ABS-CBN, further promoting Filipino talents and stories to the world.

Cattleya Killer stars Arjo Atayde, the winner of Best Actor at the 2020 Asian Academy Creative Awards, along with Jake Cuenca, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Jane Oineza, Ria Atayde, Ricky Davao, Nonie Buencamino, and Christopher de Leon.




In this new series, many years after the infamous Cattleya Killer case, the man who cracked the case, Joven de la Rosa (Christopher de Leon, reprising his role from the film), is now an NBI deputy director. His youngest son Anton (Arjo Atayde) is one of his top agents, while his eldest son Benjie (Jake Cuenca) runs a foundation for traumatized women. It seems as if everybody has moved on from the tragic events of the past, but when a body is found bearing the telltale markings of the long-dead Cattleya Killer, the lives of the three men and everyone around them are thrown into turmoil. Dark secrets are brought to the fore, as the line between the real world and the unreal blurs. No one and nothing is what they seem—least of all Anton, who becomes more and more of a suspect as more victims surface and the investigation tightens.

“We're excited to continue pushing the boundaries and to deliver world-class entertainment made by the best Filipino talents,” said David Simonsen, director of Prime Video Southeast Asia. “We believe with its gripping storyline, dynamic characters, and stunning performances, Cattleya Killer will keep our audiences at the edge of their seats.”


 

“Crime stories have always been fan favorites, proven by the success of different true-crime series across different formats and territories,” said Ruel S. Bayani, head of ABS-CBN International Production. “And for us, the Philippines' Cattleya Killer is another must-watch, as it tackles the dark human psyche. It also showcases issues rooted in family, government, and society.”

Dan Villegas (Exes Baggage, English Only, Please) directs the series from a script by Dodo Dayao. The series is based on a classic ‘90s film, Sa Aking Mga Kamay (In My Own Hands), available on Prime Video, directed by Rory B. Quintos and starring Aga Muhlach, Chin Chin Gutierrez, and Christopher de Leon.

Cattleya Killer joins hundreds of other Filipino shows and films available on the Prime Video catalog, such as 10 Little Mistresses, Deleter, Family Matters, and Walang KaParis. Korean titles such as Island and Jinny’s Kitchen, anime hits such as Demon Slayer, on top of award-winning and critically acclaimed Amazon Originals like Citadel, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Boys, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, and Emmy and Golden Globe winners Fleabag and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Prime Video members are able to watch films and shows anywhere and anytime on hundreds of compatible devices. In the Prime Video app, members can also download episodes on their mobile devices and tablets and watch anywhere offline at no additional cost. Prime Video is available in the Philippines for just PHP149 per month.
