Jillian Ward, David Licacuco take up gun handling, knife fighting training for 'Never Say Die'
Jillian Ward and David Licauco are currently undergoing various training for their upcoming action-drama project "Never Say Die." According to Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras," Wednesday, Jillian is training with action veterans Raymart Santiago, Wendell Ramos, and Tanjo Villoso. "I'm 20, I'm trying something new, mas matured na po, mas seryoso and action na talaga," Jillian said. "Ngayon po nagsa-start kami with sticks para lang po makapag-warm up. Tapos po tuturuan nila ako paano humawak ng baril properly, mga kicks, ganiyan. So parang a mixture of everything po siya," she said. Like Jillian, David also requires intense training for the series. "Mag-aaral kami ng arnis, also mga knife, knifing, fighting. I think mag-aaral din kami ng guns. Noong bata ako, 'yun 'yung pangarap ko eh, 'yung maging gaya ni Jet Li. Mahilig akong mag-boxing, tsaka nag-karate ako noong bata ako," David said. His background as a varsity basketball player has aided him, particularly with the footwork. "'Yung arnis, I think it's puro footwork, and basketball player, so medyo athletic naman tayo kahit papaano, 'di ba? So yeah, I would say kaya naman. Needs improvement pa siyempre," he said. Jillian recently starred in "My Ilonggo Girl" and appeared on "Mga Batang Riles," while David starred in "Pulang Araw" and also has a guest appearance on "Beauty Empire." —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Ahtisa Manalo says 'no updates or changes' yet on Miss Universe 2025 venue
Ahtisa Manalo has confirmed that no changes have been made so far regarding the venue of the upcoming Miss Universe 2025. In an interview with GMA News Online on the sidelines of GMA Gala 2025, the reigning Miss Universe Philippines said she remains rigorous in her preparations amid the tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. Thailand was announced to be the host country for the upcoming pageant in February. But last month, questions were raised about the venue after Thailand and Cambodia exchanged heavy artillery fire. 'It is still in Thailand so far," Ahtisa said. "That's all we know. We don't know—there are no any other updates yet or any changes, so that's a good thing." As her departure date approaches, Ahtisa emphasized her commitment to do her best to be ready for the stage. 'Few months na lang aalis na ako. So I'm taking every chance that I get para makapag-prepare talaga ako,' Ahtisa said. On Monday, preliminary talks between Thailand and Cambodia defense officials started after the two sides agreed on a ceasefire. Ahtisa was crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2025 in May. The international pageant is set for November 21. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
