REGAL & GMA-7 are celebrating the second anniversary of their successful collaboration in “Regal Studio Presents” that is shown every Sunday at 4:15 PM.
In attendance to the mediacon they held were Roselle Monteverde and Joey Reyes to represent Regal, and Joey Abacan and Atty. Nanette Gozon Valdez of GMA Network.
“I would like to thank GMA for collaborating with us,” says Roselle.
“We started airing the show two years ago at the height of the pandemic when a lot of showbiz people were jobless.
"Our aim is to help them and also to give a break to new stars, writers and directors.
"We’re so glad that after eight seasons, viewers continue to watch the show every afternoon.
"We’re now on our 9th season and we have lined up several special original stories to entertain the audience as we celebrate our second anniversary.
"Iba-iba ang stories. May romcom, may hugot drama, may family story, may magical realism, may screwball comedy, so don’t miss watching all of them.”
Eleven of their stars who appear in various episodes of the show were invited to the anniversary event: Shayne Sava and Dustin Yu, Yasser Marta and Lexi Gonzales, Will Ashley and Althea Ablan, Larkin Castor and AZ Martinez, Royce Cabrera, Migz Cuaderno and Carlo San Juan.
Yasser and Lexi appeared in last Sunday’s offering entitled “Battle of the Exes”. Larkin and AZ also appeared in a past episode about bullying in school, “The Two Nerds”.
Appearing in this coming Sunday’s special episode (September 24) entitled “I Love You, Bien” are Lianne Valentin and Royce Cabrera.
The episode on October 1 is “The Dream Band” starring Carlo San Juan as a rakista who discovers the difference between his passion and reality.
And on October 8, the featured story is “Poster Boy” with Will Ashley as the cute boy on a poster who magically comes to life, as requested by his avid fan, played by Althea.
Coming up soon is “Mother, Mother, Where are You?”, with Shayne Sava starring as an influencer from abroad who comes to Manila and is assisted by Dustin Yu in her search for her long lost mother.
Another forthcoming episode is “My Fake Family” starring Migz Cuaderno as an orphan boy who gets a scholarship to a top university and has to come up with a fake family when he is interviewed by the school authorities.
For the episode this Sunday, “I Love You, Bien”, Royce Cabrera is happy to play the title role of Bien, who is the husband of Lianne Valentine in the story.
Lianne was absent at the presscon so we asked Royce how is it working with her?
“Lianne is my katropa even before pa, so we’re comfortable with each other at masaya kami sa set,” he replies.
“Napakahusay rin niyang aktres and very easy to work with so I hope to work with her again someday.”
What is their episode all about?
“It’s about newly weds na maagang nag-asawa. They soon find out that married life is not that easy.
"Maganda ang message ng episode namin kasi it tells us to always be ready to accept the realities of life and face all the challenges na dumarating sa buhay natin, specially for married couples.
"So don’t miss it in ‘Regal Studio Presents’ this Sunday at 4:15 PM.”
