Zanjoe Marudo and Bea Alonzo are not following in the footsteps of Derek Ramsay and Angelica Panganiban as well as John Lloyd Cruz and Shaina Magdayao.
In fact, Zanjoe and Bea’s one-year relationship is stronger than ever.

“Parang pakiramdam ko bago pa lang kami hanggang ngayon. Parang nagsisimula pa rin. Ganoon yung feeling na ayaw naming malayo nang matagal sa isa’t isa. Siguro nag-match talaga,” Zanjoe said at the press conference of his newest TV drama with Megan Young, “My Precious Heart Romance Presents: Hiyas,” on Tuesday, May 22, in ABS-CBN compound.

Learning from Bea

Zanjoe gladly shared how Bea has changed him.

“Dahil kay Bea mas malambing na ako, mas hindi na ako nahihiya magpakita ng feelings. Dati kasi parang hindi ako sanay, hindi ako kumportable. Pero unti-unti naman akong nagiging ganoon kasi hindi lang iyon ang gusto ng mga babae, kung ‘di iyon ang tamang gawin na ipakita yung affection mo.”

He added that the change was not that drastic. Zanjoe said he just knows how to handle a relationship better this time.

“Minsan yung ibang parte lang na natututunan ko na in a way kailangan pala ganito ako o dumiskarte. Hindi totally magbago, may nadadagdag lang na kaalaman pagdating sa pakikipagrelasyon.”

“Hiyas” casts Zanjoe in a daring role as Silang, a warrior  from the Tanah tribe.  He plays opposite Megan Young.

No jealousy issues

Zanjoe says Bea approves of his team-up with Megan, and is not jealous of his new on screen partner. Neither do Zanjoe and Bea meddle with each other’s projects and roles.

“Wala naman kaming pag-uusapan pagdating sa trabaho. Kahit anong role pa iyan, hindi kami yung kailangan mong ipaalam o kailangan mong i-explain ang bawat ginagawa,” he said.

Bea’s reunion team-up with John Lloyd Cruz doesn’t bother Zanjoe at all.
“Kung kilala mo yung tao, kung nagtitiwala ka sa tao, kahit sino pa yung lalaking kasama niya, hindi ba? Kahit anong pilit, kung wala naman talaga. Kase kahit na sabihin mong maniwala ka, two-way naman iyan eh. Ina-assure naman ako ni Bea.”

Showbiz break-ups

Does Zanjoe think being in showbiz makes celebrity couples more susceptible to break-ups?
“Pag hindi naman talaga kayo meant o hindi kayo nagkakaintindihan, hindi talaga kayo magkakatuluyan. Ang problema lang pag nasa showbiz, mas naha-highlight kasi kailangang malaman ng fans, kailangang malaman ng tao,” he replied.

Zanjoe is all praise for Megan, whose professionalism and dedication to their new TV drama impressed him.

“Mararamdaman mo na andoon talaga yung puso niya sa show. Ang sarap makatrabaho ng ganun na yung pareho kayong gustung-gusto ninyo yung ginagawa ninyo. So, mas gaganahan ka.”

Although Zanjoe and Megan have worked together in “Kokey” and “The Wedding”, “Hiyas” marks their first time to be cast as a love team.

MANILA, Philippines – Psychic experts claim that the Year of the Water Dragon will generally be a good one for the local entertainment industry.

For one, many actors and actresses are predicted to bring honor to the country through international recognitions and possible stints in Hollywood.

“Maraming actors and actresses ang nakikita ko [na] would win international awards. And these are the people pa na hindi natin halos napapansin pa rito, or ‘yung mga dark horses na makakapasok o gagawa ng isang proyekto sa Hollywood,” Stargazer told “The Buzz” in a taped interview aired on Jan. 1.

Bro. Mhon Co, for his part, saw a “very vibrant” industry with more “promising developments.” He also felt that “more people will support the Filipino movie industry” this year.

However, he revealed that news about an actress’ first pregnancy will “shock” the public because she will get knocked up not by her boyfriend but by another man.

“Very popular itong dalawang ito. Kinikilala ‘to ng madla eh,” Co added.

Kapamilya stars’ predictions

In the same “Buzz” report, Co and Stargazer aired their predictions on the career and health of some of ABS-CBN’s biggest stars.

For comedian and “Showtime” resident judge Vice Ganda, Co said that his career “will still continue to grow to a larger extent” but was advised to “take care of his health."

"He might be even [rushed to the] hospital [in] the middle of this year," Co claimed.

Things are also looking up for “Star Power” champ Angeline Quinto, as Stargazer predicted her career to remain “okay” because she will be blessed with breaks and more projects “left and right.”

Piolo Pascual, according to Co, will receive more awards this year. He even extended his early congratulations to the actor, saying, “I know someday makikilala ka sa larangan ng iyong pag-arte hindi lang sa Pilipinas kundi sa ibang bansa pa.”

Stargazer encouraged Andi Eigenmann, who took a break from showbiz when she got pregnant, to “bounce back” because “there’s so much waiting for her. She’s gonna be welcomed [back] with open arms.”

Anne Curtis will be able to acquire more properties this year; however, Co warned her of a possible vehicular accident.
