The tension between the love triangle of Jake Cuenca, Roxanne Guinoo, and Joross Gamboa intensifies. Recently, Jake saw ex-lovers Joross and Roxanne flirting with each other. Heartbroken, Roxanne's current flame chose to walk out unnoticed. But all these just happened in an emotional scene in the late-night drama series Sineserye presents: Natutulog Ba ang Diyos. In real life, Jake and Roxanne continue to find happiness in each other and are slated to do another TV series together, Lastikman.
Natutulog Ba ang Diyos was supposed to run for only nine weeks but management decided to extend it for 13 weeks. During the final press conference of Natutulog Ba ang Diyos last September 28 at the ABS-CBN compound, the stars could not help but reminisce about the good times they shared while shooting the drama series.
"Ang lapit ng project na ito sa puso ko kasi ito ang biggest break ko. Naangat pa kami sa primetime," Jake tells PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). "Yung samahan namin ang pinakama-miss ko."
While Roxanne and Jake are seated together at the presidential table of 9501 restaurant in the ELJ building, the pretty lass says that Jake has been her No. 1 supporter all this time. "Vina-value niya ang pagkatao ko. Ini-inspire niya ako in so many ways."
In response to her declaration, Jake reaches out for her hand and makes his own confession: "I try to guide her. I try to be a good example for her. I care for her so much. I love her so much. I just want to be there for her always."
When asked to compare this series to the original movie version, director Jerry Lopez Sineneng said that in this project, they were able to flesh out the characters. "Sobrang nabuo ang mga characters. Sa movie kasi, limitado ang medium at dalawang oras lang siya."
Due to public demand, the mini-series was moved from an afternoon timeslot to ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida block. After months of airing, the tear-jerker nears its end. According to the stars themselves, the show has to end because Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition is about to begin on the Kapamilya Network.
In its last two weeks, more excitement lies ahead in the entangled lives of Mike Angeles (Matt Ranillo III), Rose Angeles (Dina Bonnevie), Patria (Rosanna Roces), Bernardo (Ronnie Lazaro), Mark (Joross), Andrew (Jake), and Gillian (Roxanne).
Because of a lie, Mike and Rose will lose their beloved son. With the help of a DNA test, the couple discover that Gillian is their true child. Andrew also finds out about his true identity, and gets mad at Mike and Rose for hiding the DNA result from him. He leaves home, hoping to find comfort with Gillian but he sees his beloved laughing and having a good time with his best friend and rival Mark. Disheartened, he walks away thinking that it's too late to win her back.
Because of his desperate need, Bernardo finds himself at the center of a crime. Not knowing where else to find money for his wife Patria's medication, he kidnaps Gillian hoping to get ransom from her real parents. But can he bear hurting the girl who loved him and his family like it was her own? Because of love, someone will sacrifice his life in this drama series.
