"Budoy" – The Official Full Trailer [Video]

Check out the full trailer of the upcoming Gerald Anderson-starrer titled Budoy which is premiering soon on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida. It stars a powerhouse cast lead by Dante Rivero, Gloria Sevilla, Barbara Perez, Tirso Cruz III, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Mylene Dizon, Christian Vasquez, Janice de Belen, Enrique Gil, and Jessy Mendiola.

Budoy also marks Janice de Belen's comeback to the Kapamilya network after staying for so long in GMA-7. She plays the role of the woman who took care of Budoy after he got separated from his biological parents.

Expect great acting from the cast especially with Janice and Zsa Zsa Padilla, who plays the role of Budoy's biological mother. Also, Mylene Dizon's acting prowess will once again amaze us for sure. It's nice to see her back on primetime so soon after the hit Mara Clara.

And don't you think it would be fun if they put Budoy in the timeslot right before or after the Kim Chiu-starrer My Binondo Girl? Just asking.

"Growing Up" Teasers feat Julia Montes and Kathryn Bernardo

ABS-CBN has released a teaser for their upcoming youth-oriented show, Growing Up. The two videos show main stars Julia Montes and Kathryn Bernardo talking animatedly about their growing up experiences.

Julia and Kathryn will again be together in one show after their hit tandem in Mara Clara. But they're not gonna make us cry this time. They will actually act their age on the new show and worry about boys and other stuff teenagers go through.

Growing Up is said to replace Good Vibes on its Sunday afternoon timeslot. Good Vibes, a teen drama with focus on dance, is ending next month (August).

Meanwhile, ABS-CBN is also giving Julia and Kathryn their launching movie. Sam Concepcion will be Julia's loveteam. He replaced AJ Perez who passed away last April. Kathryn's supposed loveteam, Albie Casiño, was also recently replaced by Enrique Gil. Albie had also been pulled out of Growing Up due to his involvement in  the issue of Andi Eigenmann's pregnancy.

Enrique Gil Replaces Albie Casiño in the Kathryn Bernardo-Julia Montes Launching Movie

Albie Casiño's showbiz career seems to gloom with the controversy involving him with Andi Eigenmann's pregnancy. Even if Andi's camp doesn't name the young actor, saying alone that the father of her child is her first boyfriend drops the bomb. Of course, the public knows about their relationship and the bad breakup they went through recently.

What's more, clearing the name of the other person (read: Jake Ejercito) suspected of being the father of Andi's unborn only confirmed that the 17-year-old Albie, indeed, was the father.

The controversy has resulted into Albie's being pulled out from the projects that he was supposed to do. He is not anymore part of the upcoming Growing Up, and he was pulled out from the Julia Montes-Kathryn Bernardo launching movie.

Was it some sort of a punishment given to him by ABS-CBN? Or were they just afraid people wouldn't support the young actor anymore because of his involvement in the controversy?

Enrique Gil was reported to replace Albie in the Julia-Kathryn launching movie. His Good Vibes co-star Sam Concepcion is also in the movie as a replacement for AJ Perez who passed away in a tragic vehicular accident last April.

The original leading men are out. Of course, we don't wanna say that the movie is doomed and would like to think that it's just really not meant to be. But what do you think of the Julia Montes-Sam Concepcion love team? How about the Kathryn Bernardo-Enrique Gil team-up?

It's really sad that Albie Casiño is now out of the movie because the tandem had already developed a fan base from their Mara Clara days. Let's just hope, and I'm sure Albie's fans would agree with this, that the young actor would be given another chance, whether as Kathryn's love team or not.

Jake Cuenca Reunites with Coco Martin in "Ang Huling El Bimbo"

Jake Cuenca is in the cast of ABS-CBN's upcoming soap opera, Ang Huling El Bimbo. He will be working with Coco Martin, Enchong Dee, Enrique Gil, and Martin Del Rosario.

Jake and Coco have worked before in the hit tv series Tayong Dalawa where they were joined by their good friend Gerald Anderson. Jake said the bond that the three of them had shared during their Tayong Dalawa days was so different that they really wish they would have a chance to work together again. Jake was vocal in saying that he wishes ABS-CBN would also put Gerald in this project.

The 24-year-old Filipino-Spanish actor's last soap was Green Rose where he played the role of Edward Fuentebella. He also had a special participation in the current Guns and Roses.

His last movie, In the Name of Love, was successful, that's why we shouldn't be surprised if he's given more shows by his mother network.

ABS-CBN's Good Vibes is extended for more weeks. The Sunday afternoon tv series with focus on dance and teen drama receives good feedback from televiewers that it is given more than the regular 13 weeks.
