‘Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (2011)’ – Movie Poster and Teaser Trailer originally appeared on Starmometer on November 25, 2011.

PS I Love You, the movie that further pinned Gabby Concepcion and Sharon Cuneta to stardom, is given new life as it premieres as TV5’s newest primetime dramaserye on November 21.

TV5’s PS I Love You is a sequel to the original ‘80s movie. Mark (Gabby Concepcion) and Kristine (now portrayed by Dina Bonnevie) didn’t have a happy ending to their love story after all, and they now live separate lives with families of their own. What they thought was their greatest love was left behind. But as fate would have it, their paths would cross again and the memories they wish to bury resurface.

The dramaserye takes off from Mark and Kristine’s supposed wedding day, where the latter doesn’t show up. Mark finds out later that Kristine accepted the marriage proposal of a wealthy businessman.

Mark tries to move on from his sad fate and works his way to become a billionaire investment banker. Kristine, on the other hand, is happily married with two kids, but her picture-perfect life crumbles upon the death of her husband. As their businesses dwindle and their family stands on the brink of bankruptcy, Kristine’s daughter Andrea (Alex Gonzaga) steps up to save their remaining livelihood. Despite the tremendous responsibility she has to bear for her family, she derives motivation and inspiration from Jason (Kean Cipriano), a struggling musician who loves her with all his heart.

Upon the advice of their relatives, Andrea decides to sell their company to an investor who would be interested in resuscitating the business. Unknown to Andrea, the man interested in buying their company is Mark, an old flame of her mother and her one great love.

This starts another chapter in the lives of Mark and Kristine. As love blossoms between their children – Mark’s son Paul (AJ Muhlach) and Kristine’s other daughter Candice (Nadine Lustre) – they move heaven and earth to keep them apart. However, Paul and Candice struggle to fight for the love despite all odds.

Completing the cast of PS I Love You are Candy Pangilinan, Cheska Inigo, Michael Flores, Say Alonzo, Jaycee Parker, Melissa Mendez, Nikki Bacolod, Al Chris Galura, Sarah Polvereni and Cogie Domingo, with the special participation of Lloyd Samartino.

Directed by Robert Quebral and Elaine Lozano, PS I Love You is co-produced by TV5 and Viva TV. It airs Monday to Friday after Glamorosa starting November 21 on TV5.

After the warm reception on the first part of the reunion episode, the top-rating musical variety show Sharon is treating all die-hard Sharon-Gabby fanatics with a much more touching part 2!

The much-adored love team of the ’80’s—Gabby Concepcion and the Megastar Sharon Cuneta—was joined by the Mega daughter KC Concepcion, I’ll be There co-star Jericho Rosales and Sharon’s bestfriend Zsa-Zsa Padilla as co-host.

On the part 2 of the special Sharon episode, KC opens her heart to her parents sharing that seeing them talking is a big deal already. “I prayed na mag-usap silang dalawa. Ang hirap kasi since this is still a show. Parang after nitong ilang oras na ‘to, hindi na naman kami magkikita which is okay kasi masaya naman kami sa Pangilinans at masaya din naman si Papa sa family niya. Pero siyempre ang laking bagay na rin nito.”

KC was proud to tell his Papa Gabby that her Mama Sharon was the reason why she had no ill feelings for her dad whom she was not with for the last 13 years. In response, Gabby thanked Sharon, “Thank you so much for taking care of my little baby. She grew up to be a very fine lady.”

Catch the whole story from KC and sweet moments of Sharon and Gabby this Sunday on the only musical variety show “kung saan lagi kang kasama,” Sharon, 9:10pm, after Pilipinas Got Talent on ABS-CBN.

Kwento ni KC, hinding-hindi niya malilimutan ang gabing nakasama niyang muli ang kanyang Mama at Papa. “This moment is really inspiring. Hindi naman araw-araw nagkakaroon ng chance na magkita-kita ulit kaming tatlo, to be on my Mom’s show and makita silang dalawang nag-uusap.”

Dagdag pa niya, “Meron talagang purpose kung bakit kami pinagtagpo ulit. May rason kung bakit kami nagpunta sa show ni Mama and nakagawa kami ng movie together ni Papa. Hindi lang ‘to para sa show. Parang I waited all my life for this moment.”

Abangan ang kabuuang kwento ni KC at ang nakakikilig na pag-uusap nina Sharon at Gabby sa first part ng special episode na ito ngayong Linggo sa nag-iisang musical variety show “kung saan lagi kang kasama,” ang Sharon, pagkatapos ng Pilipinas Got Talent sa ABS-CBN.

Sharon Cuneta & Gabby Concepcion Reunite on ‘Sharon’ this Sunday originally appeared on Starmometer on June 10, 2010.

“It’s always comfortable working with a friend,” Albert shared. “Hindi mahirap makaeksena si Gabby kasi we had a lot of chances na makatrabaho ang isa’t isa before,” the actor added.

Gabby, on the other hand, revealed that during confrontation scenes with Albert, he needs to somehow, set aside the friendship so that the scene would exude a sense of truth. “I have to make the scene look like real kasi. Kaya sometimes, di ko iniisip na magkaibigan kami (laughs). But of course, para lang yun sa eksena,” Gabby quipped.

Meanwhile, as “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo” continues, the death of Celina (Maricar Reyes) stirs up more unexpected turns. Robbie (Gerald Anderson) draws an investigation on Ringo (Coco Martin). Steve (Gabby) and Frank (Albert) set on another confrontation that puts one’s life into the brink of death.

Brace yourself for another 360-degree twist in “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo” on ABS-CBN, weekdays after Agua Bendita.

Together, the two take us on an emotionally-rich journey back to the events that led to Gabby’s 10-year disappearance from his daughter’s life, their bittersweet reunion in the US, and their first movie together under Star Cinema now that Gabby has come back to tinseltown big time.

Despite her father’s absence, KC shares gives credit to Gabby’s remarkable growth as a person.

“In all fairness, ibang tao na si Papa ngayon. he’s the man he’s always aspired to be. May iba siyang peace ngayon. i think it helped nung iwan niya ang pag-aartista, that it force him to depend only on himself,” said KC.

Grab a copy of Star Studio Magazine and get to know why KC had to sought Gabby after 10 years; Gabby’s feelings about her daughter now, how she’s matured, and her being an “ate” to his other daughters; and how they enjoy their first-ever movie project together.
