Singer actor Lance Raymundo has done some better use for those muscles by appearing in indie films which showcases his other muscle. And put to good use it is! Lance Raymundo is working on 5 films like: Motorcycle produced by Cinema One Originals by John Red, with Jason Abalos and Jao Mapa; Desisyon produced by Star Cinema; Saya, a period film intended for Cinemanila and the Toronto and Vancouver Film Festival; Xenoa 2; and Fidel where Lance Raymundo topbills the film. Fidel is intended to be shown at next year’s Cannes Film Festival. Fidel, is an indie film based on the true story of a male OFW sensually abused by his Arab employer played by hot and hunky model John Hall! And the highlight of the film is a daring abuse scene with John Hall. Also starring in Fidel are Andrea del Rosario, Snooky Serna, Maria Isabel Lopez, John Hall, among others.

Lance Raymundo on his role in Fidel:

“There’s one scene na kailangang gawin para mas maipakita yung story. Sa movie kasi, he got * by this Arab, e, pero it’s done in a way na wala namang naagrabyado sa artista. Iyong Arabo was played by John Hall and pareho kami, both have modeling contracts na may mga clauses. Kasi I represent MET Tathione and he represent another brand, so may limitations din. Pero we’re able to compromise para maipakita pa rin ng realistic yung kuwento.

“May partial sa akin, wala lang contact ko. Bale implied yung eksena, pero after that, nang iwan ako ng rapist na halos mamamatay na ang katawan ko, siyempre ipinakita kung ano yung aftermath nun. Kaya siyempre, hindi naman puwedeng nakabihis doon, kaya pumayag ako sa eksenang ‘yon dahil kailangan talaga, e.

“So, yeah, masisilip yung ano ko rito, nakadapa ako after the scene, e. Part of the job ito and wala naman akong qualms sa mga ganitong eksena dahil napakaimportante nun, e. Kasi if you put yourself in a role ‘tapos yun yung nangyari sa ginagampanan mo, lalo’t base ito sa true-to-life story, you won’t feel shy.

“‘Tsaka yun yung mindset na nakuha ko sa pamilya ko, dahil mga artista rin ang pamilya ko, na talagang you forget who you are. Na hindi ako si Lance, ako si Fidel and ito ang nangyari sa kanya kaya kailangan naming ipakita iyon.”

Does he expect an award for Fidel?

“I’m hoping, kasi talagang piniga ako ni Direk, e. It’s by Direk Sandy Bacolod, siya yung assistant director ng 100 na nanalo si Mylene Dizon, Konsiyerto, at Boses. And ngayon ay full-fledged direktor na siya. Pinanood ko ang mga movie na ‘yan at nakita ko kung paano nila idinirek dito si Mylene and ‘yon din yung ginawa nila sa akin.

“Although I don’t wanna assume, pero I wanna hope dahil siyempre, gusto ko na ‘yong pinaghirapan ko, kasi talagang in-immerse ko ang sarili ko na noong nasa set ako, feeling ko nga ay hindi na ako si Lance. Pati ‘yong mga pulis na gumanap doon, mga Arabo talaga, e. So kapag nakakaramdam ako ng pagod at hirap, nandoon naman yung satisfaction na worth it ito, dahil ginastusan at pinaghirapan talaga e.”

Updated: No Paul Soriano and Toni Gonzaga are not breaking up, they are very much together. Toni Gonzaga couldn’t be much happier. I’m just updating some articles because apparently, google are still not indexing my old posts which used to get tons of traffic. And also updatng to throw in some sexy pics of Paul Soriano later.


Everyone, at least in our household, thinks director Paul Soriano is really, as in really really hot! We think that he shouldn’t be hiding behind the cameras but should be in front of it.

Toni Gonzaga is one lucky girl!

Iza Calzado is going to Hollywood, and it’s not about American Idol. She is going to Hollywood as an actress, hopefully, an A-Lister. One of the few, if not the ONLY,  Filipino who is going to star in a Hollywood movie. What is it all about? well, it’s about Iza Calzado appearing in the Hollywood remake of Regal Films’ suspense-thriller “Sigaw.” Sigaw starred Iza, Richard Gutierrez and Angel Locsin, which made a splash in a filmfest in L.A. in 2003.

Filipino filmmaker Yam Laranas will shoot the English remake of his
2000 thriller Sigaw in Toronto for one month beginning Aug. 13.
Now titled “The Echo,” the film stars Jesse Bradford (Flags of Our
Fathers, Swimfan) and Scottish actress Louise Linton.

The Echo is the story of an ex-convict who moves into an old
apartment building and becomes trapped in a curse when he tries to
save his neighbour from her abusive husband.

Based on the novel by Jose Saramago, the film is about a woman who
becomes the only person who can see in a town where everyone is
struck with blindness. As the town descends into chaos, she pretends
to be sick so that she can take care of her doctor husband.
