Hunting the stars of ASWANG

I've been asking myself, what's with my current obsession of chasing celebrities? Maybe it was part of my deprivations when I was young. For sure, it feels good being around beautiful people. They are an inspiration. Showbiz in the Philippines has never been this vibrant and I want to have a piece of it. Now I am starting to sound like I am a celebrity. I am not. I am just thankful I get the chance to meet a few of them personally. I thank people like Mr. Leo Dominguez, the manager of BIG STARS like Solenn Heussaff, Gaz Holgate, Lovi Poe and Paulo Avelino for giving me the chance.

It was the other day that I got the chance to meet Lovi Poe and Paulo Avelino again during the presscon of the upcoming Regal Fils movie ASWANG held in Mesa Grill Tomas Morato. It was during that time that I came to know Lovi and Paulo a little more and realized a few things again......

Aswang , rated-13 opens November 2 Nationwide....

PAULO AVELINO

It was the second time for me to meet Paulo.I admit, I had a wrong impression of him. I originally thought he is SNOBBISH. He is nice pala. I saw his sincerity this time around. He was making eye contact with us during the interview and you can tell he is sincere in his answers. Still a little safe though wehn it comes to his personal life but that is something we have to understand. After all, stars are also like all of us. They also have their private lives and I am in no position to go that far. Respect. They also deserve it despite being public figure. He has been getting a lot of attention these days. The projects keep coming after his transfer to Abs-Cbn and and really wish for his success.

JOEM BASCON

My first encounter with JOEM BASCON who is a well known talent of ABS-CBN was pleasant.Another first. I was surprised at how spontaneous he is in answering questions. Parang nasa bahay lang. You will feel comfortable talking to him. He is one of the most natural person I met. I was impressed at how straightforward he is in answering questions. No holds barred even on personal questions. He is not mahangin. I really find him humble in admitting his little personal misfortunes and wrong career moves before his comeback in the tv series NASAAN KA ELISA which airs weekdays in Abs-Cbn. I heard him say he is very happy Mr. Mario Dumaual finally interviewed him. He continued saying Mr. Dumaual is known for interviewing BIG Stars and he is happy coz he doesn't think of himself as one. Very humble. I like him. I find him famous yet very down to earth.

LOVI POE

One of my personal favorites. One of the nicest stars I met and everything is natural. I love her bubbly personality. She is somebody you want to be with coz she makes you feel good simply by being around her. When it's her time for interviews, the room usually explodes with laughter and good vibes. People get noisy as they get very eager to ask questions. Whenever we say goodbye, she makes beso to me. Last Tuesday, I said to her I smell of yosi again but she said "it's okay anu kaba". She's vey nice!!!

ASWANG is the latest romantic horror flick of Regal films.It’s similar in tone to True Blood and Twilight, but the sentiments are very Filipino. The story comes from Filipino folklore; the movie explains who the aswang is, how and why he feeds, and what his powers are. The movie’s tone is a mix of terror, romance, and with a hint of sensuality.

The movie stars Marc Abaya, Precious Lara Quigaman, Joem Bascon, Nina Jose, Albie Casino, Jillian Ward, Paulo Avelino and Lovi Poe.

Aswang hits theaters on November 2.
