Either of the two, Vic and Bong are both from the Kapuso network. Kaya congrats pa rin sa dalawa! Nasan ang gawang kapams? Feeling kasi nila e mananalo ang drama sa pasko! Balita ko ieextend daw ng Star Cinema ng husto yn para nmn makahabol sa topgrosser. Wala kasing padding ang result esp pag MMFF period. Nevertheless, GMA Films is really investing huge money to make quality films. Dun pa lang dapat nyong marealize that GMA7 is really releasing alot of money for visual effects, costumes etc Unlike ung ABSCBN, the self proclaimed sosyal daw e di nga makapag produce ng multimillion film na fantasy themed. Costcutting kasi sila. Poor talaga!
lutang din ang akting ni heart, good thing ininsist ni mega na si heart ang maging anak nya sa role ni stephanie
