MAINSTREAM YOUNG ACTOR JM DE GUZMAN, WHO’S ALSO AN ARDENT SUPPORTER OF INDIE FILMS AND THE THEATER WORLD, HEADS THE OFFICIAL LINE-UP OF GUESTS/NOMINEES IN THE FORTHCOMING AWARDING CEREMONIES OF THE 36TH GAWAD URIAN AWARDS. THE MAJOR EVENT … Continue reading →
Iba kasi ang taste ng Gawad Urian, sopistikado ang kanilang panlasa sa pelikula. Kaya hindi na kami nagtataka kung bakit nangingibabaw na naman sa taong ito ang mga indie films sa listahan ng nominees nila.
Mas mainam pa ang taste ng Gawad Urian, kasama ang Famas at PMPC Star Awards sa kanilang mga “taste” o choices of nominees. Pero sa isa pang grupo ng isang “award-giving body” kuno, na naglabas at nagdaos na ng kanilang set of nominees at awards night, sobrang tumaas ang aming kilay. Nakakapangilabot na mga resulta!
Anyway…
Kailanman ay hindi na-”tarnish” ang imahe ng Gawad Urian para sa amin. Obvious lang nga na this year, very supportive sila talaga sa mga indie film artists.
Pero isang ‘ama’ na nasa langit at isang ‘ina’ na nasa lupa ang tuwang-tuwa sa pagkakasali ni JM DE GUZMAN bilang Best Actor nominee sa taong ito sa Gawad Urian! Nominado siya para sa pelikulang “Intoy Syokoy Ng Kalye Marino”. Goodluck, JM. Sana ikaw ang manalo!
Marami ang humuhula, ang pelikulang “Thy Womb” ni direk Brillante mendoza ang hahakot ng pinakamaraming awards sa taong ito sa 2013 Gawad Urian.
Pero nakapagtataka ang pang-iisnab na ginawa ng mga taga-Urian kay direk Ato Bautista at sa pelikulang “Palitan” na unang naisip ng blogger na ito na mapapasama sa listahan ng mga nominees nila. Bakit kaya naisnab nila si direk Ato at ang “Palitan”? Nakapagtataka! ‘Yun na…
SA LAHAT NG MGA NOMINADO,
MABUHAY!!!

Sa trailer pa lang ng pelikulang “On The Job”, produced by Star Cinema Productions, ay humanga na ang blogger na ito sa kakaibang approach na ginawa ng direktor nitong si Erik Matti. Kaya naman nu’ng lumabas na sa internet viral world ang trailer ng said movie, agad-agad namin itong nai-blog. At hindi kami, muli, nagkamali sa aming “panlasa”. Hayan at pasok na ngayon sa Director’s Fortnight ng Cannes International Film festival ang nabanggit na pelikula. All Filipinos must again be proud of this great achievement.
Nasa video sa itaas ang pag-announce ng isang French spokesperson na si Edouard Waintrop ukol sa mga napili nilang pelikula sa Cannes Filmfest.
Wala na kaming masasabi pa! Congrats sa lahat ng taong involved sa pelikulang ito!
“ON THE JOB”, coming soon!
BELOW IS THE LIST OF SELECTED FILMS FOR THE DIRECTOR’S FORTNIGHT AT CANNES fILMFEST:
JM DE GUZMAN goes action on his latest film on star cinema- “ON THE JOB!”
At sabi ni sip & sip
“Dapat lang, ‘no? It’s high time na bigyan ng Star Cinema Productions ng kasunod na pelikula ang isa sa pinakamagaling na young actor ng bansa- si JM De Guzman! Maski ba supporting lang ang role ni JM sa kakaibang action film na ito, mukhang napaka-markado naman, based pa lang sa trailer ng movie na ini-release na kamakailan lang. Mukhang inapi-api si JM dito, ginulpi, at na-torture ng to-the-max!!! Pero symphatethic naman ang kanyang character. Tipong maaawa ka talaga sa kanya, ha? Ganyan ang mga roles na markado at may appeal sa publiko. Besides, lucky charm si JM sa bawat pelikulang nilalabasan niya sa Star Cinema, lahat ay blockbuster! Proven na ‘yan… But to add, based sa trailer ng movie, tila kahanga-hanga rin dito sina Piolo Pascual at Gerald Anderson! For the first time, nakita namin sila ‘in- reality-based’ na characters, hindi ‘yung puro pantasya na lang ang mga papel na ginagampanan nila. Gerald looks so totally evil in this film, at si Piolo naman, isang living ‘angel-warrior’ of the harsh city life na pupuksa sa mga salot ng lipunan! Kakaiba ang movie na ito, kudos to its director, Erik Matti, for coming-up with a trendy film like this! Iba ang approach. What a nice breaker. Kikita to the max ang pelikulang ito, that, I guarantee!”
jm: bad boy?… nope!

jm de guzman
1.) JM DE GUZMAN- Just stare deep into his eyes, embrace his warm and youthful body… and paradise will be yours.
chris banchero
2.) CHRIS BANCHERO- This basketball player of San Miguel Beermen team and now the object of everybody’s “kilig factor”!
chris cayzer
3.) CHRIS CAYZER- This comebacking Fil-Australian singer-hearthrob will soon takeback what’s really is HIS. And that is being the hottest and sexiest matinee idol in town.
manuel chua
manuel
4.) MANUEL CHUA- He caught our attention a few years ago when he joined the Pinoy Fear Factor reality show on channel 2. But now that he is getting good roles as an actor, both on TV and films, Manuel’s charisma and animalistic appeal is being felt to the max. This blogger has been friends with Manuel before and we say- (“I miss you, Manuel”)… And Cabanatuan City.
neil ryan
5.) NEIL RYAN SESE- This indie film actor really looks “astig”, “tigasin”, “barakong-brako”, and “dakota harrison plaza”???Winning a Best Supporting award from Entertainment Press Society in a TV miniseries recently was an “eye-opener”. It seems, everybody’s looking at Neil now, ha???
martin
6.) MARTIN DEL ROSARIO- His “balbonic” chest and legs seems to be so captivating… Oh, my.
borgy
7.) BORGY MANOTOC- The more he matures, the more he looks so hot and sexy. We wonder why…. His slim body is to die for!
june
8.) JUNE MACASAET- The Philippine pride. He won the prestigious Manhunt International 2012. Perfect body form. Deep, penetrating looks… Oh, gosh.
aaron
9.) AARON VILLAFLOR- His skin, his boyish looks, his tenderness… is every woman and gay man’s “delight”.
coco
10.) COCO MARTIN- He really looks young, anyway. But his moreno looks and sexy body are both undeniably ‘magnetic’.
xian
11.) XIAN LIM- Watching him over and over again in the channel 2 teleserye “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” assured us that this half-Chinese actor is an ADONIS.
jeremy
jeremy
12.) JEREMY MARQUEZ- Alessandra de Rossi really loved this guy (and she couldn’t fully move-on until now?). And she refused to belive the ‘rumour’. But whatever, this lover boy, even without any muscles or good physical form and outstanding handsome looks, really is so sexy-looking and hot. He’s a MARQUEZ, in case you don’t know. (And Marquezes of the showbiz world are really “heavy”?) Ha-ha.
mikael
13.) MIKAEL DAEZ- He got one afternoon TV soap in channel 7 just a month ago before it lasted. His handsomeness exuded so powerfully on that afternoon show!
vince
14.) VINCE TANADA- He may not look so handsome, he may not be that physically-gorgeous, too. But once onstage, the great “hotness and sexiness” of this theater-actor and founder of Philippine Stagers Foundation would overwhelm you and zest you up and up and uuupppp! Till you climax!
phil
15.) PHIL YOUNGHUSBAND- An athlete like him is like the symbolism of FOREVER.
jovic
16.) JOVIC SUSIM- He was so good in the play “Halik Ng Tarantula”. But there’s something deeper in him, something so devilish and so tempting… Like a thief that’s out to steal your heart!
enchong
17.) ENCHONG DEE- His acting abilities makes him shine like a GREEK GOD.
bryan
18.) BRYAN TERMULO- It’s the way he sings and the sexy body moves while he sings…
lance
19.) LANCE RAYMUNDO- His long hair is so rugged, manly, masculine… Like a Valentino… like a Sheik… so mystifying!
gerald
20.) GERALD ANDERSON- The woman-chaser. The skirt-peddler? Whatever, it only added to the manliness of Gerald. And we chose to be “slapped” by him through his “weapon”?
felix
21.) FELIX ROCCO- Soulful, young, like a “knight in shining armour”…
victor
22.) VICTOR ALIWALAS- The ‘greatest physical body’ of a male celebrity that this blogger has ever seen.
arnold
23.) ARNOLD REYES- A great enigmatic appeal.
sid
24.) SID LUCERO- Spicy, meaty, “ulam na ulam talaga”!!!!
gino
25.) GINO SANTOS- This young indie film director’s charming manners surely makes him hot and sexy!
carlo
26.) CARLO CRUZ- With a new indie film he’s currently doing, Carlo is destined for more sexiness and hotness. He is a very gentle guy.
mon
27.) MON CONFIADO- His hotness is like that of Hollywood actor Daniel Day Lewis. His versatility as an actor made him the handsomest filipino actor for us.
chrome
28.) CHROME COSIO- This guy should be given a break in showbiz. He can act, he looks so handsome, and he’s real!
neil coleta
29.) NEIL COLETA- Very boyish, very adventurous-looking… so cute!!!
jordan
30.) JORDAN LADRA- This theater actor from Philippine Stagers Foundation could really grab your heart and soul, once you see and watch him perform and act onstage. A real hot guy!
When a man promised to you that he will come… believe him.
Believe.
When a man told you that you will have to wait…believe him.
Believe.
When somebody promised you that someone else would come along… believe him.
Believe.
No matter how long, no matter how far, no matter how impossible.
He will come.
Yes, he will come…
And believe.
One person was staring infront of you, with all his kindness, understanding and concern. He was smiling, too- as you tried to break the overwhelming feeling of love by simply joking around with him- yes, he was still smiling, too.
But when serious questions in the interview popped-out, he would be looking from nowhere and comprehend fully the meaning of the question. Feeling it and absorbing it like a wet towel. He would, after, gaze upon you with utmost sincerity, and again, kindness. He would answer the question with great depth and precision- the way you wanted him to answer it.
There were times, too, that what you were thinking the innermost channels of your thoughts, he would know. And he would say it.
When the name Daniel Day Lewis suddenly popped-in inside your head, he knew. And to your amazement- he said: “One of my idols is Daniel Day Lewis.”
But there were hidden meanings, too, in some words he spoke. Words you alone grasped fully what it meant. Words that only the two of you could fully comprehend and understand…
“I already saw you even before, Kuya Robert”, he said to you. “I already knew you will be here for me.”
He actually meant it in a different way, but the way he looked at you, he was telling you something deeper.
He was an hour late for your coffee talk because he had to drop-by at ABS-CBN channel 2 to do a renewal signing for his contract there as one of the Star Magic artist-talents. After that contract-signing, he was telling you that… that, it was the time he already saw you.
He saw you already earlier sipping your coffee as the car he was riding-in passed you by, but he had to go first to a public office before finally going back to you for the coffee talk.
Yes, he already saw you.
That’s what he meant, maybe…
But something went deeper than that – on that quiet midday afternoon. It was, like an “angelic intercession”.
The feeling was too emotional and heavy for you and you wanted to “lighten it up” by caricaturing yourself infront of the most wonderful young man you’ve ever met. And sometimes, avoiding the tears of happiness, too. This afternoon was an ETERNAL MOMENT, created by the heavens, looked down below by the skies Above.
Believe.
He would never fail you. He would never make promises that he won’t keep. Just like that afternoon, that, he indeed came for you.
He’s an artist just like you. And he knew, there’s something more within, … that connected you both.
YES, BELIEVE.
AND NOW, THE INTERVIEW. AFTER THAT VERY LONG INTRO:
jm: the object of everyone’s attraction
YOU: JM, how do you manage to be an actor and a singer at the same time?
JM: There’s a pressure if I do it both. I have never done it both at the same time. I have never done recording an album and doing a teleserye (TV miniseries) at the same time. There will always be pressure you know. So now, what I do is, I do it one way at a time. This time, I am focused at the moment for my singing career. My album is already out now. It’s entitled Tensionado, released by Ivory Records. And the album launching is going to be on March 8 at the Trinoma… You see, my music helps in my acting and my acting helps in my music. I always look for a comfort zone. If I get to be so pressured in my acting profession, the music comes-in as a release. And when the time comes naman that I get so carried-away by my musicality- the acting side becomes naman my comfort zone. It helps both ways.
YOU: What really happened between you and Jessy Mendiola?
(JM was suddenly “at a loss”. He didn’t know what to say and felt the question so deeply within him. He gazed at the coffee table for a brief time until he gathered-back himself, enough well.)
JM: She didn’t know that I watched her in her last TV miniseries Paraiso with Matteo (Guddicelli). She’s so beautiful there. Talaga, ang ganda-ganda niya… Kuya Robert, Sir… Siguro po, pareho pa kaming dapat na unahin na muna ang respective careers namin. We have to make the best out of the many opportunities that comes-along within our lives… We’re both still young. We’re both still starting. Time is our greatest enemy. Me and Jessy, we didn’t have much time…
YOU:I feel for you, JM. I even saw Jessy once on TV when she guested at ‘The Buzz’ TV show of Boy Abunda. She told Kuya Boy that she’ll wait for you in the skies…
(JM simply smiled. But there was a lttle gathering of tears around his eyes. This was the signal that YOU have to change the topic and avoid the emotional breakdown from the young actor facing YOU. And, a new question popped-in):
jm, the musical artist
YOU:Do you miss THEATER, JM?
JM: I do, Kuya Robert. I do, so much. I miss theater a lot… Sobrang nami-miss ko po. That’s where I came from, eh. That was the time, that I really felt for the arts. At that time, after every performance, we just hang around. Labas-labas lang kami. Gimik-gimik. That’s how simple my life was back then when I was still in theater. .. But you see, Tito Robert, I also needed to earn. That’s why I went doing TV acting jobs now. That’s why I don’t have time for theater now… But these were the 3 most important things that I learned in the theater world: discipline, dedication and self-improvement. I value theater so much.
YOU:When I saw you in the film “The Strangers” late last year, that’s the time I realized fully that you are the new Christopher de Leon of Philippine Cinema. You were so great in that movie! Oh, my! How did you become that so good, JM?
JM: Siguro, resulta ‘yun ng mga paghihirap ko talaga. I took my job so seriously as an actor. Eventhough it brought me so much pressure, acting is where I found my fulfillment. It is my job. It is my task to entertain people as well. Sila ang pinagsisilbihan ko at hindi ang sarili ko. And to add, I don’t see myself more highly than the others. I don’t think to myself that I am already that good. I simply want to be appreciated. Coz I believe, when you give love, you’ll get more love in return. Love for me is unconditional… And now, nadagdagan pa ang goal ko sa buhay. Ang goal ko ngayon, to bring honor to my family and relatives. Gusto kong maging lifetime achievement yan. Yun bang may maiiwan akong legacy sa magiging mga anak ko at hanggang sa mga magiging apo ko. Yun bang magiging proud sila for me someday…
jm penetrates you DEEP.
YOU: Do you ever get to be lonely sometimes, too, JM?
JM: You can’t avoid loneliness, Kuya Robert. Sa buhay ko, hindi ko maiaalis ang ‘loneliness factor’. Personality ko na siguro ‘yun. I always want to be alone.
YOU: What can you say about your fans? I think, grabe talaga ang suporta nila sa iyo! At lalo na ang pamilya mo!
JM: Yes, Kuya Robert. ‘Yung focus na binibigay nila sa career ko, sobra-sobra talaga! In Twitter, Facebook Pages, Tumblr and all. I feel so blessed because of them. What they’re doing to me is so priceless talaga. Whenever I see them smile lang, it makes my day na. Nakakahawa ang mga ngiti nila. Sila ang reason why I am fighting over the innermost ‘little demons’ of my being an artistic person. Kaya I am so thankful to them. Sa kanila ko nakikita ang mga resulta ng pinaghirapan ko, of course, next to my family.
jm with his dad & half-sister (center) and his brothers around them.
YOU: Last question, JM, what have you learned so greatly now in life so far?
JM: That acting is a continuous learning. That I still have to explore and explore and explore…. In one hour, you won’t be able to define everything that had happened in your life.. and you have to go on.
YOU: Thank you so much, my baby JM.
JM: Thank you, Kuya Robert, thank you.
(Questions & Words By ROBERT MANUGUID SILVERIO, with Answers From JM DE GUZMAN) :-)
“Prior to its release in the market, I was able to preview the songs from this album entitled ‘Tensionado’. My personal favorites are ‘Terrified’ (duet with Acoustic Diva Suy) & ‘Have I Told You Lately’ by Rod Stewart. His soothing voice, relax singing style and current emotional state (heartbroken) indeed added more drama and depth to the songs.
Released under Ivory Music & Video, ‘Tensionado’ is a collection of JM’s renditions of his favorite songs featuring ‘Lost In Space’ by Lighthouse Family, ‘Don’t Give Up On Us’ by David Soul and ‘Tensionado’ by Soapdish. Also a collaboration with singer Jaq Dionisio of Kiss Jane is the hit song ‘Akin Ka Na Lang’, which is the album’s carrier single.
‘Tensionado’ album has 8 tracks, 6 revivals and 2 original compositions. ‘Warrior’ an acoustic ballad about searching for one’s self in this endless journey about love and also ‘Stupidest’ about unrequited love”.
Tensionado Album Launch will be on March 8 at Trinoma Mall followed by these Mallshows:
March 9 – Robinsons Forum
March 10 – Robinsons Angeles
March 16 – Robinsons Palawan
March 17 – Robinsons Calasiao
The carrier single ‘Akin Ka Na Lang’ is already available for download here at MyMusicStore while the rest of the songs will be downloaded before February ends.This year, JM will have 2 movies with Star Cinema and an upcoming teleserye as he hadjust recently renewed his contract with Star Magic.
JM WILL SOOTHE YOUR SOUL…
’SUPERMORGY’ ABOUT JM:
“By the way, I first met JM on January of 2011 at Starbucks ABS-CBN. He joined me and my friends and there we had a little conversation about his show at that time entitled ‘Precious Heart Romances Presents: Alyna’.
JM has always been sweet, romantic, soft-spoken and accommodating. I have experienced how he is as a celebrity and more to how as a person. Very passionate in everything; from singing to acting and even when it comes to loving. He knows his role as real prince to girls out there. A real gentleman who takes good care of every woman he is with, from co-actors to his fans.
I’m sure many of you would agree with me that other than being incredibly good as an actor & singer, he is also undeniably telegenic. He can even make anyone say yes to him just by his facial gestures.
The last time I saw him was just last December during the Red Carpet Premiere Screening of his MMFF Entry movie ‘The Strangers’ under Star Cinema”.
About Morgy:

I’m also a Teacher by license with major in Business Technology though I haven’t tried formal teaching yet in any school or university due to a hectic lifestyle.

People close to my heart call me Morgy.

But seriously I’m just a happy person, very outgoing and friendly.
