"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.

"Nasaan Ka, Elisa?" Premieres September 12

After almost half a year of waiting, the Melissa Ricks-starrer Nasaan Ka, Elisa? will finally be aired on Monday, September 12, 2011. And to the delight of the actress' fans, the series is going to be on primetime TV, taking the timeslot right after Kim Chiu's My Binondo Girl.

Originally set to be aired on ABS-CBN's afternoon block starting March 21, the series was put on hold due to contract issues involving some of its main cast. Contracts of actors Albert Martinez, Agot Isidro and Vina Morales state that their TV series is to be aired on primetime television, rather than Nasaan Ka, Elisa?'s first scheduled timeslot of weekday afternoons.

The waiting is worth it, though, because the series will have a wider audience reach in its primetime slot.

Other members of the cast include Mickey Ferriols, Desiree del Valle, Joem  Bascon, Eric Fructuoso, Christopher Roxas, Aldred Gatchalian, Franco Daza, Wendy Valdez, Allen Dizon, Isabella de Leon, and Alexa Ilacad.

Watch the trailer of Nasaan Ka, Elisa? after the jump.
