The Maalaala Mo Kaya? troupe posed for the traditional “Famous” cruise souvenir photo, with the James Bond Island as backdrop: (left to right) Malou de Guzman, Ginny Ocampo, Tess Mengua, Garry Fernando, Dado Lumibao, director Gilbert Perez, Zanjoe, Bea, Lindsay Dizon, Francis Dayao, and Roda de la Cerna.
Bea Alonzo, lounging at the pool bar, seems to be in a trance. Actually, she was savoring the emo-vibe, a subgenre of hard-core punk music with emotion-based lyrics or effects.
Edgar “Bobot” Mortiz and his wife Millette Santos were among the vacationists. Here, they have a quick kodakan moment with Zanjoe while waiting to board in Phuket.
Zanjoe and Bea wear the official “Famous” shirt while visiting the so-called James Bond Island. This is where The Man with the Golden Gun, starring Roger Moore and Christopher Lee, was filmed 25 years ago. The place is actually known to Thais as Tapu or Nail Island.
This MMK scene of Bea and Zanjoe on board the cruise ship is reminiscent of a scene with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in the 1997 mega-blockbuster Titanic.
