"For me naman, I only focus on positive publicity. 'Yong mga negative, hindi ko talaga binabasa. Kasi, for me lang, waste of time. I don't need that. I'd like to read mga positive," says young director Paul Soriano.

Iba ang sigla at saya ng direktor na si Paul Soriano nang makakuwentuhan siya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) noong Martes ng gabi, September 6, sa Greenbelt 3 sa Makati City. 

Maganda kasi ang review sa pagkakadirehe niya sa pelikulang Thelma, na pinagbibidahan ni Maja Salvador.

Sa katunayan, Graded A din ito ng Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB).

"We're overwhelmed!" bulalas ni Direk Paul. 

"Fantastic... We're very thankful to the Cinema Evaluation Board for appreciating the film. You know, we worked very hard.

"So to get an A, just means we did a great job."

Maganda rin ang feedback sa acting na ipinamalas ni Maja sa pelikula. At ikinatutuwa rin daw niya iyon.

"Si Maja for me, best actress siya rito. She carried the movie from start to finish. 

"There's no other person talaga to play the role of Thelma but Maja Salvador.

"Fantastic siya rito. Matapang siya. Passionate. 

"Lahat ng gusto mo sa isang artista, na kay Maja 'yan.

"And you will see it in the film.

"Lahat ng press nga no'ng first premiere night namin last Sunday [September 4], ang tanong, 'Bakit si Maja?'

"No'ng natapos nilang napanood ang pelikula, sabi nila, 'Ay, alam na namin kung bakit si Maja!'"

Ano ba ang nakita niyang strength ni Maja as an actress?

    sobra namang makapanglait dito kay Direk Paul, for your info he's got a showbiz pedigree, apo lang naman sya ni Nestor de Villa, the who is Nestor de Villa? just in case di nyo kilala, he was a matinee idol naka loveteam ni Nida Blanca sa Sampaguita Pictures...sikat sila noon ha.. in other words the family have been in the business before Toni Gonzaga.. As for Maja, kita nyo naman sa MLKI how she becomes the character, yong asal tomboy na NPA astig ang dating, di pa-cute,,for sure magtatagal sya sa showbiz with that talent, Salvador yan, dugong artista

    What a far out comment ! Toni playing a hand in escalating the jealousy of Matteo with Coco . What a stuupid remark. I know Toni is super talented but she can't do magic. Ha ! ha ! She wasn't even at the Star Magic Ball. Good they didn't go. On the contrary, she was so cool about that issue. Just shrugged it off, confidently. No one even believed it. Even Alfie Lorenzo did not buy that Paul - Maja rumor.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Toni played a hand in escalating the jealousy harboured by Matt towards Coco. It was clear Toni was stung by all this brouhaha between Paul and Maja. Toni thought she had Paul in the palm of her hands - aka a "dependable doormat". However, the green eyed monster reared its ugly head brought about by these "affair" rumours. Toni, Toni, Toni! tsk tsk tsk.

    The Matteo-Coco fistfight cleared the name of Paul Soriano as to being linked to Maja. God's way of answering the nasty rumors. Ha ! Ha !

    Mabuti na lang at hindi si Paul Soriano ang inaway ni Matteo. If ever si Paul ang sinakal or inaway niya, baka marami maniwala sa tsismis na may something going on sila ni Maja. Nakakatawa ang turn of events, pero at least na clear ang pagkaka link ni Paul kay Maja when that suntukan issue of Coco and Matteo happened. Blessing in disguise ang awayan for Paul. Aside from that, mas pinag-usapan tuloy movie nila. Not a gimmick , everything is just coincidence. Gook luck to Thelma !

    This anti-Paul Soriano group of fans of Toni are quite active in PEX From the very start that Paul Soriano came into the life of Toni Gonzaga, they have been very negative about him. But not all fans of Toni hate Paul Soriano. A lot of them actually like him for Toni. Marami rin ang kiniilig for them especially during her interview of Paul sa The Buzz. Kaya lang very unfortunate si Toni sa ibang fans na mahilig manira kay Paul.

    Unfortunately those who say a lot of negative comments about Paul Soriano are some fans of Toni and they dominate the PEX. They have always tried to find something negative to say about him. HIs MTV, his movie, his looks, his manner of dressing, etc. Basta may masabi lang negative about Paul. This is not even an article about the Star Magic Music Video, yet just to say saomething negative about Paul, they will post it here. But honestly, wala naman nag comment negative about that MV during that time. Hindi naman papasa kay Direk Johnny Manahan ang MV kung di siya nagandahan. Let's just say that Toni Gonzaga is unfortunate with her fans. Sila ang madalas naninira kay Paul Soriano. Di ba Prudish? onevoix? P and P?

    Well, in fairness to tarantinobill.. I thought the star magic music video wasn't that great either. I guess I was just expecting more.

    I think he wants to get out of the shadow of Toni and prove himself as a director. Magaling naman siya. What I don't like is the timing of his movie. Why choose a playdate same as that of the movie of Toni? Why compete with your girlfriend?

    well, if his old man was not jerry soriano, then hindi na sya nag-direktor at nabigyan ng pagkakataon para direct ng product ads or music videos.and yes, toni is just an actress,host, celebrity--all im saying is that paul's connections don't really lie on toni alone so quit on hating, man.

    Dapat pasundan ni Toni sa private detective itong si Paul at doon nya malalaman ang katotohanan. Kesa isugal nya ang future nya dito.

    I will not waste my money for this movie. Ano naman si Maja, ang Ate Jobelle nya cavite ng isang Mayor kaya malakas sya sa ABS. Eto namang si Paul as long as he remains the pretend BF of Toni kahit pusong babae naman sya, he will get projects. Ang nagpakilala kay Paul ay si Gary V na asawa ni Angeli Pangilinan na kapatid ni Kiko at bayaw ni Sharon. Sinasayang lang nya ang oras ni Toni. Sana hindi magsisi si Toni sa bandang huli at huli na ang lahat. Saka lang yan maglaladlad pag kasal na sila. Kawawang Toni wala pa namang divorce sa Pilipinas. Ang talas ng pangmoy ko sa may hasang at palikpik.
