Make 'Wont Last A Day Without You' Star Cinema and Viva Films Third Box Office







The name that gave us box office hit after hit after hit is once again opening its curtain for a new flick featuring Pop Star Princess Sarah Geronimo and Primetime Prince Gerald Anderson in a film that will teaches us to fall in love again. Star Cinema and Viva films wrapped up a gift for young and young at hearts this November. ' Won’t Last A Day Without You’ is their third offering after blockbuster hits “No Other Woman” and “Praybeyt Benjamin” all from combined powers of two big movie firms.

Press, Bloggers and other media practitioners gathered for the Press Conference of “Won’t Last A Day Without You” held in Dolphy Theater. Sarah Geronimo came with Gerald Anderson and some of the cast of the movie – Young JV and Martin Del Rosario. Also the director Mr. Raz Dela Torre and writer Melissa Mae Chua also came.



Sarah and Gerald were almost at the hot seat when press started to hit them burning questions one after another. The two and others are politely answered the questions very well. Director Raz Dela Torre discussed how the film was made. It was conceptualized after the success of Sarah-Gerald first team up, ‘Catch Me, Im Fallin”.  They mentioned that they started the production by choosing the celebrities that best fits in the characters. They were so glad that they got Mr. Joey De Leon from ABSCBN rival channel. Mr. Joey De Leon was humble enough to not thinking twice to get the role after knowing that he will going to be the father of Sarah Geronimo. He even mentioned in an interview that he is a big fan of Sarah and also a huge fan of Star Cinema films. He surprisingly said that he have lots of Star Cinema movies. Director Raz also mentioned that Mr. Joey helps them by giving advices that can make the movie even better.

When Sarah does she relates to character, she honestly said that she and DJ Heidee (Sarah’s Character) is somewhat the same. Sarah described her character, DJ Heidee, a DJ of a radio station that giving love advices, she live in a perception that “Bitterness makes us better”.  She had been in a troubled relationship and her personal experience made her what she is. Everyone knows that Sarah had an issue before regarding her past attachment with Rayver Cruz. She said that her personal experiences made her the better person of what she is now.

Gerald Anderson, is so charming during the presscon and I cant really help it but notice his very nice shoes. Gerald, after the success of his primetime series ‘Budoy’ is doing this movie with Sarah. He mentioned that he is getting closer to Sarah. You can really see the chemistry of two young stars.


Here are their Official Trailers:







Please watch ‘Wont Last A Day Without You’ in theaters and cinemas nationwide on November 30, 2011.

Television Show : Eat Bulaga ... Philippine History

Lunch time wouldn’t be complete without food and cold drink in the table. But of course, we need something to be entertained with while filling up our hungry stomach.  Entertainment is a real though job here in the Philippines, but one show stood still amidst the fast changing diversity of audience viewing. Eat Bulaga manage to maintain their top spot in Philippine Noontime Television. Many shows arose from fame but lost its identity in competing with this epic noon time show.


Facts: (content source: Wikipedia.com)
Eat Bulaga is a noontime variety show in the Philippines produced by Television And Production Exponents Inc. or better known as TAPE and aired presently in GMA Network. The show broadcast from GMA Broadway Centrum and airs Weekdays at 12:15 PM and Saturdays at 12 NN.  In 2010, the show celebrated its 31st year on Philippine Television and holds the record of being the longest running TV show in the country today. The show premiered on July 30, 1979 on RPN with Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey De Leon as the hosts and Chiqui Hollman and Richie d Horsie as co host.




It was in 1989 when EB moved to ABSCBN under a co production agreement when RPN and IBC were seized by the Philippine Government. But the show moved to GMA Network due to ABSCBN’s interest to buy the airing rights of Eat Bulaga from TAPE Inc. On February 18, 1995 historic event as it may be called that Eat Bulaga marched their way to GMA Network and Ms. Wilma Galvante welcomed them and reunited with the group as Ms. Galvante also came from RPN.


And the rest are history. 2005 when EB celebrated their 25th year on Television at the Expo Amphitheater and it was attended by almost 60,000 audiences. EB has launched different personality that became households’ names today. With the like of Allan K, Jimmy Santos, Ruby Rodriguez, Wally and Jose, Sex Bomb Girls, Toni Gonzaga and Ms. Ai Ai Delas Alas. Now that EB is still waving in the tides of Philippine TV, no show can equally compete with Eat Bulaga.


I remember watching them when I was in Nursery before going to school. Since then the rival network offered numbers of shows but no one stand still. Now that I graduated in College (adding up the two years when I stopped schooling) EB is still part of our family entertainment. I could really say that EB is part of my daily life and marked my identity.

I enjoy the fun and entertainment they give to their audience. Giving chances to others and giving instant surprises to their contestants - not to the outmost that they give false hope.  EB has maintained their humble beginnings and continue to entertain younger generations today. They brought back the formula of partying/jamming in the streets that are best known in the late nineties. They reinvent the old formula adding up the innovation of technology through mobile phones, surprising their winners and going to their houses.



EB shows the other side of the Philippines that most people have taken for granted. The simple smile they bring to an unfortunate student without the things she needed for school priceless. I wish that EB continue to give Filipino audiences here and abroad quality entertainment and put a smile in many faces of those people who have less in life. Cheers for more years Eat Bulaga !
