Walang Forever scores an A rating from Cinema Evaluation Board

The Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB) has just given the romantic-comedy movie "Walang Forever" featuring Jennylyn Mercado and Jericho Rosales an A rating. A Graded-A movie qualifies for 100% amusement tax reward that commensurate with the amusement tax levied on and collected from the film.

In the movie Jennylyn plays Mia, a celebrated writer of romantic-comedy films. She's at a turning point in her life which makes it difficult for her to believe that love could last.

Everything comes to a head when Ethan (Jericho) returns, only for her to find out that he has become a cynic of lasting love because she broke his heart.

Kris Aquino thinks 2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach didn't like PNoy

Presidential Sister Kris Aquino said in an interview with the entertainment press on Monday that reigning Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach didn't like her brother - President Noy Aquino.

In the said presscon, the Queen of All Media reminded everyone that earlier this year, Wurtzbach and President PNoy Aquino were rumored to be dating.

And on the day that Pia won the crown, Kris revealed why the romance fizzled.

“All of us, kaming mga sisters, from before pa, we liked her, noong naru-rumor (when it was rumored) that they were dating. She could have denied [that they were dating],” Kris said in an interview. But equally as revealing as one of the biggest plot twists in pageant history, Kris spoke her mind. “I don’t think she liked Noy.”.

“I think she entertained him but the thing is, you can tell from her character [that she’s] single-minded. Kinailangan na [Miss Universe] angfocus ko muna (It was needed that the Miss Universe pageant was what she should focus on),” she said.

Kris was all praises for Pia, admitting she liked her answers to the question and answer portions.

“I don’t see any problems with that at all," Kris said about Pia's "US bases" answer. "In a world where China is so strong, let’s admit it. Kailangan natin sila [US],” Kris continued.

Is Matteo Guidicelli playing third wheel in LizQuen's upcoming serye Dolce Amore?

It seems he is.

In a recent Instagram post of actor/recording star Matteo Guidicelli, he posted a photo of himself sporting a new "do" and announced he's flying out to Italy. The actor did not specify what was it for but we suspect he's up for another project.

Just recently, ABS-CBN has launched its newest set of shows coming out next year and one of which is the much-awaited follow-up teleserye project of Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil (LizQuen) called Dolce Amore.

A teaser has been released during its trade launch last week featuring LizQuen and the setting? Ang bongga lang naman - ITALY!

Watch the Dolce Amore trade trailer

Liza plays an Italian Bella while Enqrique is a Manila "con man". A love story ain't a love story without the third wheel. And it is just right to put an actor that would counter the charm of Enrique for Liza's love? Who else but an equally charming real Italian Bello - Matteo Guidicelli.

Just a piece of info, the production group of Dolce Amore, including Liza Soberano, had flown to Italy since last week. Is it just a coincidence that Matteo is flying out the same Euroean country in a just a few days for nothing? We don't think so...

So, we'll be seeing and hearing Matteo speak in Italian soon. ♥
