ABS-CBN’s newest primetime offering, “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo,” a new tale that will defy the laws of loves will finally air on January 18, 2010.

From the makers of “Tayong Dalawa” and “Iisa Pa Lamang,” “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo” sketches a different kind of attack to the usual Pinoy teleseryes as it presents an unpredictable plot, a high-caliber cast and three renowned TV directors.

After the unforgettable characters of JR, Dave, Audrey, Ramon in “Tayong Dalawa,” a formidable casting coup gives life to characters that will again etch indelible marks in the history of Philippine television: Gabby Concepcion as Steve, Kris Aquino as Celine, Albert Martinez as Frank, Jacklyn Jose as Astrud, Gina Pareño as Petulah, Maricar Reyes as Selina, Gloria Romero as Barbara, Maxene Eigenmann as Alicia, Kim Chiu as Gwen, Gerald Anderson as Robbie, and Coco Martin as Ringgo.

Under the direction of three versatile directors, Erick Salud, Trina Dayrit and Dondon Santos, “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo” is shaped by three soap opera genres namely; action, family drama, and love story, drawing a yarn on how an individual’s love for another is put to the test and how destiny can entirely re-arrange one’s life.

“When ‘Tayong Dalawa’ became a hit, we were challenged to do something na pwedeng pumantay sa naabot ng ‘Tayong Dalawa’,” Direk Trina shared. Direk Dondon added, “We were very excited to do the project. Knowing na orginal ang materyal, challenge sa aming mga direktor na makapagset ng high standards.”

Direk Erick, on the other hand, mentioned that aside from the mounting pressure brought by the past series of ABS-CBN which have been nationwide hits, it is the audience’s anticipation that also pushes them to make this project worth the wait. “Siyempre hindi lang yung pressure ang nagtutulak sa amin na pagandahin ang serye. It is the viewing public… yung paghihintay nila sa isa na namang bigating soap opera mula sa ABS-CBN ang nagpapainspire rin sa amin.”

Witness the clashing of the best and primed actors in the country in one of the grandest teleseryes this year, Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo, premiering on January 18. For more updates visit http://kungtayomagkakalayo.multiply.com and www.abs-cbn.com.

It has been reported by one of the leading newspapers in the country, Philippine Daily Inquirer, that actress/TV Host Kris Aquino has hosted a dinner inviting a handful number of celebrities for her brother Noynoy Aquino last Sunday, October 4, 2009. Are the celebrities invited being wooed by Kris Aquino to help in her brother’s presidential campaign?

Some of the Kapamilya stars who attended the “intimate dinner” with Noynoy Aquino and the rest of the Aquino family are KC Concepcion, Piolo Pascual, Raymond Gutierrez, Bea Alonzo, Angelica Panganiban, Shaina Magdayao, John Pratts, Sam Milby, Anne Curtis, Erik Santos, Bianca Gonzales, Mariel Rodriguez, Pooh, Enchong Dee, K Brosas, Gail Blanco and Sitti. Of course, Noynoy Aquino’s running mate, Mar Roxas, was also in attendance.

In the past, celebrities under Star Magic aren’t allowed to endorse any political candidates. Will the Star Magic management lift that “order” to please one of their “gems?” Although there are rumors that Kris Aquino and Dingdong Dantes, a Kapuso talent, are currently negotiating regarding the possibility of the latter endorsing Noynoy, most of the artists in attendance on the Sunday dinner party were Kapamilya stars, if not all. What would the Star Magic management do?

However, an unidentified source has shared with the Inquirer that the stars who attended the dinner were not asked to commit to Noy. How true?

What can you say about this hullabaloo, Kris?

“I felt it was important na makaharap nila si Noy and my sisters,” Kris Aquino said.

“Since kami ang humihingi ng pabor, we should sit down with them and explain kung ano ang maiaambag nila sa kandidatura ni Noy at kung ano’ng maibabalik ni Noy sa Pilipinas.”

Celebrities who attended the dinner brought home a framed commemorative P5 bill, the first one signed by the late President Corazon Aquino when she assumed office in 1986.

Let’s see what would happen next. Kris Aquino is really living up to her promise to support her brother, huh?

A teary-eyed Kris Aquino faced ABS-CBN.com in an exclusive interview where she shared how disappointed she is when Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez broke the “big news” about their engagement and upcoming wedding on Willie Revillame’s “Wowowee” instead of the actress’ TV show.

Kris and SNN co-host Boy Abunda had “went out on a limb” to have an exclusive sit-down interview with the couple.

“Sinabi ko kay Boy, ‘Let’s protect this exclusive’ and let’s give them the concessions di ba? Ipinakausap ko ‘to. If it is exclusive, alagaan mo. Pwedeng humingi ng concessions sa’yo na lahat ng pag-aalaga gagawin mo ‘di ba? Hiningi ko to kay Boy. Sinabi ko, ‘Come election time, you can choose who you want . Pero can you do this for me now? At least for the next few weeks.’ Prinomise nila sa ‘yung sit-down, lahat ng detalye…everything,” the actress said.

Due to unexpected turn of events, the exclusive interview with the couple was pushed back but the plans were diverted when the couple appeared on “Wowowee.”

“Alam ko hindi nila kasalanan, hindi nila ginusto. Pero napahiya talaga ako kasi ako ‘yung nakiusap. And then, ‘yung staff ilang weeks din ‘yun, na every week meron (news about Korina and Mar) because you are building it up nga for the exclusive you thought was yours…I was honest enough to say I felt we were used and discarded,” she said.

The couple informed Aquino that they would be appearing on Revillame’s show for an interview regarding the couple’s engagement and upcoming wedding.

Aquino has also shared that Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez have reached out to her to make peace.

“Six arrangement of flowers ang pinadala… letter si Korina, it’s really heartfelt. Maski si Mar ang haba ng text and all. Umabot pa sa point na si Mr. M (Johnny Manahan) at si Mariole (Alberto) nag-explain. Sabi ko wala. Walang isyu sa amin ni Willie (Revillame). I mean, nagso-sorry sila and naiintindihan ko,” she shared.
