Jake Roxas and Rico Barrera portray lovers in "Walang Hanggang Paalam"

Former T.G.I.S. teen star Jake Roxas is back on the big screen but with a completely new image: he is cast as the homosexual lover of Rico Barrera in the indie film Walang Hanggang Paalam.

They star in the indie film directed by Paolo Villaluna and Ellen Ramos (the same persons behind the critically acclaimed films Selda and Ilusyon). Walang Hanggang Paalam was partly shot in Baguio and Makati City.

In this film, Lovi Poe plays Maria, a 16-year-old liberated teenage girl while Joem Bascon portrays her boyfriend named Ryan. In a previous interview, Joem describes his character as someone "who is longing to devirginize Maria." (Click HERE to read related article.)

This is Lovi's most mature role to date. She plays a girl who is torn between love for a boy (Joem) and love for a man who is old enough to be her father (Jacky Woo).

Japanese actor Jacky Woo produces and stars in this film, which is slated to open soon in Robinsons Galleria IndieSine. Completing the cast are Ricardo Cepeda, Ai Ittogi, and Tetchie Agbayani.
