Bianca Umali pens heartfelt letter after becoming crowd favorite among PBB fans
Bianca Umali's stay as celebrity house guest in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" may be short, but it was enough to capture the hearts of the viewers who grew fond of her. On Instagram, the Sparkle star shared a photo of her younger self along with a heartfelt message for the PBB fans who showed her love during and after her stint. "Hello po sa inyong lahat. Hindi ko po alam kung saan at paano po magsisimula. Sobra sobra po itong ipinaparamdam ninyo sa akin and I couldn't stop crying. Pang ilang araw na po na sumasabog ang puso ko with gratitude," Bianca wrote. "Maraming salamat po sa inyo. This is the most that I have ever felt love in my life from the outside world," she added. According to Bianca, having been an orphan most of her life, she believed the only love she would ever have, truly deserve, and never lose was from her Lola Vicky—a love that made her feel content and whole. "But now? Oh wow. As I was praying… God gave me the answer. This is what love is. This is a version of the love I thought I would never have… this is the love of my Mommy and my Daddy being showered upon me through all of you and words aren't even enough to express the state I am experiencing. This is surreal. I am over the moon," Bianca said. She also thanked the viewers for giving their time to listen to their story, and said that she never thought that it is possible to feel a love that is beyond measure. "Ka mahal mahal po pala ako ng ganito ka sobra. I never knew I could be loved this much! Ngayon, I have learned na - hindi na ako magisa at lalong hindi na ako dapat matakot sa mga tao at sa mundo. Alam ko na po ito dahil po sa inyo," the Kapuso star said. "Ama, taos-puso po akong nagpasasalamat sa inyo para po sa biyayang mga pangyayari na ito! Kahit kailan ay hindi po ako humiling… at sobra sobra pa po ang binibigay ninyo!" Bianca added. Ending her post, the "Sang'gre" star expressed her love for all the kind praises she received from the netizens. "From the bottom of my heart, mahal na mahal ko din po kayong lahat! If only I could hug each and every one of you ng mahigpit! Ayun lang po okay Iyak lang po ako ulit wait lang po." Previously, Bianca said that she entered PBB because of her late mom May, who was a big fan of the reality show. While inside Bahay ni Kuya, she went viral for cleaning the house. Kuya also gave her a name tag of her mom with his signature at the back. After her PBB stint, Bianca is set to star in "Sang'gre," which will air on GMA Prime beginning on June 16. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Why are Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo fit for an action series ‘Sanggang Dikit FR'? Director answers
When Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo were announced to topbill action series, 'Sanggang Dikit FR,' audiences were pleasantly surprised. It was a step away from their usual dramas and romance projects, and comedic TikTok videos, after all. At the media conference for the upcoming series, director LA Madridejos said that the married Kapuso couple fit for the project because, 'DenJen na 'yan eh. Kahit anong genre malagay, mag-fa-fly 'yan.' Direk LA added, 'Pero ang lamang kasi nila is hindi sila natatakot mag-experiment dun sa iba't ibang genre.' Apart from being able to make people happy with whatever they present, Direk LA, said DenJen also has the ability to make scenes light, which is needed for the series. 'Magkasama na sila sa bahay and yet, hindi nila nakakalimutan pagusapan 'yung mga eksena kung pano nila gagawin. Ganun ka-professional 'tong mga 'to.' Jennylyn and Dennis also opted to do their own stunts, Direk LA said. 'Nire-require lang namin lagi may double. Pero kung pwedeng sila 'yung gumawa, hindi nila [hahayaan]. Kami na 'yung umaawat sa kanila,' he said. 'Ang sarap katrabaho nung ganun eh, lalo na sa gantong genre.' In 'Sanggang-Dikit FR,' Jennylyn Mercado stars as Roberta "Bobby" Enriquez, a bubbly yet highly competitive police woman. Dennis Trillo plays Antonio "Tonyo" Guerrero, a skilled policeman who loves to improvise when solving crimes. Both burdened by personal losses, Bobby and Tony are brought together when a high-profile murder happens involving people who are very close to them. In February, Jennylyn and Dennis went target shooting in preparation for the project. Jennylyn started shooting for the series the same month and admitted that she felt the jitters, adding physical scenes are a challenge. 'Sanggang-Dikit FR' premieres on June 23 at 8:50 p.m. on GMA Prime. The series is set to shoot scenes in Europe and the United Arab Emirates. — LA, GMA Integrated News

Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo say they need to stay professional on ‘Sanggang Dikit FR'
Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo are starring in their first TV project as husband and wife, 'Sanggang Dikit FR.' During the series' grand media conference, the married Kapuso couple said that while they enjoy working together, they understand they need to maintain professionalism on set. Jennylyn said, 'Kasi 'pag sa bahay, iba 'yon. Nasa bahay kami bilang mga magulang, mag-asawa. Pagdating sa set, mga artista kami.' (It's different at home. When we're at home, we are parents, we are a married couple. When we're on set, we are artists.) The Ultimate Star added, 'Kahit na nag-a-away kami or may problema kami na dala-dala, hindi pwedeng makita sa set. Kailangan gawin niyo 'yung mga trabaho niyo muna. Pagdating sa bahay, 'saka niyo pag-usapan. (If we are fighting or if we have a problem we cannot bring that on set. We need to do our work first. Then we figure things out when we get home.) According to Jennylyn, this is who they are as people and as artists, adding they also give each other constructive criticism at work. 'Hindi na kami nahihiya sabihin sa isa't isa 'yung 'pwede mo 'tong gawin' o kaya ano, 'parang hindi okay 'yung ginawa mo. Dapat ganito.'' Meanwhile, Dennis said there is no 'sawaan' between them even if they spend all their time together at home and at work. 'Siguro 'pag mahal niyo 'yung isa't isa, kahit gano na kayo katagal magkasama—kahit magkasama kayo sa trabaho, magkasama kayo sa bahay—kung talagang gusto mo siya makasama, parang 'pag nandun 'yung pagmamahal, never ka magsasawa eh,' he said. (I think if you love each other, even if you're always together at home and at work, you don't get tire of each other.) Dennis added that it is important for them to have quality time at work or at home, and to go on dates or trips. Jennylyn said, 'Para sa 'kin okay na magkasama kami sa trabaho, kasi ano eh, clingy ako eh.' In 'Sanggang-Dikit FR,' Jennylyn Mercado stars as Roberta "Bobby" Enriquez, a bubbly yet highly competitive police woman. Dennis Trillo plays Antonio "Tonyo" Guerrero, a skilled policeman who loves to improvise when solving crimes. Both burdened by personal losses, Bobby and Tony are brought together when a high-profile murder happens involving people who are very close to them.

Nag-aaway in real life tapos kailangan maging maayos,' Dennis said. 'Doon mo susubukan 'yung pagka-professional. So dapat talagang iwan niyo 'yung problema at pagka nagtatrabaho, trabaho talaga.' They will soon fly to Europe and the United Arab Emirates to shoot some scenes and they will bring their three kids with them. 'OK lang kung mga three days lang, two days. Pero pag two weeks, naku po. Ang hirap,' Jennylyn said. 'Sanggang Dikit FR' is a buddy-cop series that channels the style of '80s action films. In February, Jennylyn and Dennis went target shooting in preparation for the project. Jennylyn started shooting for the series the same month and admitted that she felt the jitters.
