irector Erik Matti touts his new film, BuyBust, as his “best work so far as stated in an article written by Alfred Bayle for Inquire.net.
The Cinema Evolution Board agreed because it rated BuyBust with a grade of “A”. BuyBust hit theaters nationwide in the Philippines on August 1. “It’s a really different movie, totally. But it can surpass (my previous works),” Director Erik Matti said. “A lot of people said they felt sleepy watching ‘Honor Thy Father’ because it was too serious. As for ‘On the Job’, that one’s really exciting. But ‘BuyBust’, goddamn it’s really popcorn entertainment thrilling. The kind that puts you on the edge of your seat.”

Filipino Star Magazine. Vancouver Edition. August 2018 The film had been in production since 2016, the longest project Matti has ever done. It took two years to complete from preparations, talent scouting, training, rehearsals, and filming. There were only 56 days to film but pre- and post-production took much of Matti and crew’s time. And it was all worth it. Last July 15, 2018, BuyBust was selected and premiered at the New York Asian Film Festival. It was the closing film and yet it proved to be opening new doors for Matti and his stars. Foreign publications such as Screen Daily, Variety, and The Hollywood reporter gave BuyBust rave reviews for the film’s story, production design, camera style, and performances. The film’s lead star, Anne Curtis, was praised for her gritty performance and physicality as a PDEA agent – a far cry from her usual bubbly and wholesome self on her noontime show, Showtime, and other romantic comedy films. BuyBust is an action-thriller about Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) agents on a mission to find and infiltrate a drug den in the slums of Manila. The mission goes awry and when the agents get trapped, this is where the action and excitement begin. Anne Curtis is joined by former mixed martial arts champion, Brandon Vera, as a fellow PDEA agent. To be a convincing agent, Anne had extensive training at the Scout Ranger
Training School. She learned Pekiti Tirsia Kali, the only Filipino Martial Arts recognized by the Philippine Army, Marines, PNP, PSG, and other special forces units. Director Erik Matti also added that if not for the support of his producers at Viva, Vincent del Rosario and Dondon Monteverde, he wouldn’t be able to make BuyBust the way he imagined it to be. The film reportedly cost $1.6 million to produce. “Viva has been very kind to me because we didn’t start with that budget but of course we want something really great; we would have meetings where we were told we were over budget already.” BuyBust was classified as R-16 by the Movie Review and Television Classification Board (MTRCB). Originally, Director Erik Matti and his producers wanted to push for an R-13 rating. Due to mature content and violence in BuyBust, they opted to stick to the R-16 rating instead. Time and box-office will tell if the million-dollar investment will pay off. From the looks of it, especially the critical acclaim at its premiere at the New York Asian Film Festival, it just might. Director Erik Matti is a filmmaker whose career began in the 1990’s. He has worked in film and TV commercials and is known for his versatility. Matti is a writer, producer, actor, and acting director. His films have screened in festivals in the USA, Canada,
DIRECTOR ERIK MATTI AND STAR ANNE CURTIS BRING THEIR FILM’S CRITICAL ACCLAIM AND ACCOLADES BACK HOME.
Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Mexico, South Korea, and many more. Matti’s 2013 film, On the JOB (OTJ), starring Piolo Pascual and Gerald Anderson, was shown in the Directors’ Fortnight at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. OTJ received critical acclaim and a standing ovation. A Hollywood remake of OTJ is in the works. The leading actress of BuyBust is Anne Curtis, known in the Philippines as the Princess of All Media for her endorsements, TV and movie appearances, and staggering followers on social media. To date, Anne has 9.4 million followers on her official Instagram. Anne is part Filipino and part Australian, born to a Filipino mother and Aussie father. She began her career as a child actor at 12 years old. She earned her stripes acting in TV dramas in GMA and movies for Viva Films and then moved to ABS-CBN in 2004. In 2005, Anne got her big break to star as the lead in TV drama, Kampanerang Kuba. In 2009, Anne became a host on noontime show, Showtime, with Vhong Navarro, Kim Atienza, and Vice Ganda. In 2016, Anne and her long-time boyfriend, Erwan Heussaff (younger brother of model-actress, Solenn Heussaff), announced their engagement. Their pre-nuptial photos were shot in South Korea, particularly the film sets of Anne’s favorite Korean dramas. Anne is a self-confessed K-pop and K-drama fangirl, and has designed a makeup line called BLK Cosmetics for “KBeauty Addicts” like herself. Last November 2017, Anne and Erwan tied the knot in Queenstown, New Zealand.

Angel Locsin back in action training for upcoming TV drama A
ngel Locsin grew up as an athlete and actress known for her physical strength and acting. She was Darna in the 2005 GMA TV series, after all. However, she had to concede to Liza Soberano – even when Director Eric Matti handpicked her for the latest incarnation of the Filipina superhero.
The actress is regaining her strength to play the lead in The General’s Daughter. She will star alongside Ryza Cenon, Eula Valdez, Tirso Cruz III, Janice de Belen, and Maricel Soriano. Her last drama was La Luna Sangre with former love team and ex, Richard Gutierrez and love team Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo.
On Angel’s Instagram, she posted a video of her doing kicks. Angel is training for her upcoming ABS-CBN drama, The General’s Daughter. She wrote, “My spine injury will always be with me and it took me a while to accept that.”
Angel Locsin’s fan posted photos of Angel’s exposure training with several members of the Philippine Army last May.
Angel reminded those with injuries who push themselves to “rest for a while.” She added, “DON’T EVER rush yourself to recovery and NEVER let pressure hinder your body’s healing process. Take your time.”

The actress may have lost the role of Darna but not her fighting spirit. The photos showed Angel being taught by an army how to do a proper salute and hold a weapon. www.filipinostarmagazine.com
Since Angel lost the coveted role of Darna to Liza Soberano, comparisons will naturally come up. Angel would not want the new Darna to be put down. Inquirer.net wrote that Angel even replied to her Instagram follower for saying that she should play Darna, not Liza. A follower named Jason Sagun commented, “You should be Darna, Ms. Locsin. You can actually do action. It’s a shame that the one who replaced you is dainty. She hasn’t proven anything; even in Bagani she moves daintily.” To which Angel respectfully answered, “Not true. She can do action scenes really well. I hope this stops. Thanks.” Liza Soberano is currently training as superhero Darna in the Star Cinema production directed by Erik Matti. She was announced as the new Darna last year.
Filipino Star Magazine. Vancouver Edition. August 2018 Angel Locsin is known as the Action Drama Princess of the Philippines, having starred in TV dramas where she also did her own action scenes. Her breakout role was in the 2004 fantasy-drama, Mulawin, as half-human and half-bird, Alwina. The Romeo and Juliet love story paired her with love team and leading man, Richard Gutierrez. But it was as Darna in the 2005 TV series that made Angel Locsin iconic. As Mars Ravelo’s heroine, she strengthened the character’s legacy and made it all her own.

In 2007, Angel transferred to ABS-CBN and by 2008, she led her own fantasy-drama once again titled Lobo with Piolo Pascual. Angel was nominated for an International Emmy Award for Best Performance by an Actress for her role in Lobo. A sequel to Lobo titled Imortal paired Angel with John Lloyd Cruz in 2010. Her films range from romantic comedies to dramas, such as Unofficially Yours (2011), One More Try (2012), and Four Sisters and a Wedding (2013) just to name a few.
Aside from working on her upcoming drama, The General’s Daughter, she will return to film in Wife, Husband, Wife with Richard Gutierrez and Angelica Panganiban.

Kris and Noynoy Aquino reunite after three months for Josh
my brother and I have had a complicated relationship.” The actress then elaborated on what sparked the reunion. Due to the rift, her sons chose to stay close with her but this affected Josh greatly. Whenever Josh had to be admitted to the hospital, it was Kris’ brother, Noynoy, who was always there. Kris decided to send a text message and requested that Noynoy visit Josh while in the hospital. “My son needed him- the ONLY constant male figure in his life.” Kris then snapped a photo of the former President’s visit with Josh.
O
n July 18, 2018, Kris Aquino posted a candid photo on her official Instagram account showing her older brother, former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III with her first-born son, Josh. Kris’ son is currently in the hospital for a series of medical tests. On the same Instagram post, Kris revealed that she and her brother have not spoken in three months. Kris shared, “With true HUMILITY I will share our story…
Kris later thanked her brother, Noy, for “LOVING JOSH ENOUGH to be here when he really needed you” and their late mother, former President Cory Aquino because she “made this possible”. On July 20th, Kris updated her followers on her Instagram about Josh’s medical test results and initial findings. Kris posted that Josh is experiencing “EROSIVE ESOPHAGITIS DUE TO SEVERE ACID REFLUX AND ULCERS”. She thanked her followers for praying for Josh’s recovery and healing. Kris Aquino is lauded as the Queen of All Media in the Philippines. The popular actress, TV personality, and most trusted product endorser of global brands now calls herself an entrepreneur. She founded Kris Online and Kristina C.

It’s a baby boy
for Ellen Adarna and John Lloyd Cruz
The quiet yet controversial couple became first-time parents to a baby boy on June 27th
E
llen Adarna gave birth to a baby boy on June 27, 2018 according to an article written by MJ Marfori of The Manila Times. This news was corroborated by Pep.ph’s two sources who were present at the Cebu hospital on the day of Ellen’s delivery. The actress’ lawyer, Atty. Rebo Saguisag, had confirmed the date of birth as well. According to Marfori, the name of the baby is Elias Modesto which was Ellen’s late father’s name. Based on Cosmo.ph’s timeline of the Ellen and John Lloyd relationship, the couple shared screen time on the set of Home Sweetie Home back in 2016. Ellen was then a guest star but this was not the first time they have met. Since then, the couple has been consistently linked with one another especially after Adarna became part of the show’s regular cast in January 2017. Ellen and John Lloyd both attended the christening of Ellen’s BFF, fellow actress Beauty Gonzales’s daughter, Olivia last March 2017. Both were asked to be godparents. It was September 2017 when Ellen and John Lloyd truly fanned the flames of
a blossoming relationship. First, they were spotted in Sofitel Hotel watching the sunset together. But it was a trip to Bantayan Island in Cebu with their close, non-showbiz friends that proved to reveal more than just two people hanging out. The trip to Bantayan had Instagram posts from both Ellen and John Lloyd calling each other “baby” to the now famous “couple” photo of him and Ellen while lying down on a white bed. Part of the caption read: “…this girl really did something to my soul. I’ll always be grateful.” Before September ended, John Lloyd deleted his posts of him and Ellen on his Instagram. Ellen followed suit on her own IG. There were rumours that Ellen and John Lloyd have finally broken up. On October 2017, John Lloyd’s management Star Magic announced that he will take an “indefinite leave of absence” for personal reasons. This meant not appearing on his TV show with Toni Gonzaga, Home Sweetie Home, as well. John Lloyd started posting photos with Ellen on Instagram again. They went together on a trip to Morocco, attended the wedding of John Lloyd’s close friends in Paris, and had gone skiing in Switzerland. www.filipinostarmagazine.com
Last November 2017, Pep.ph broke the news that Ellen Adarna was pregnant and John Lloyd was the father. Ellen had to drop out walking the runway for Bench’s Under the Stars show. In December 2017, Ellen trended online when she posted on her Instagram story her hand with what looked like a diamond engagement ring. While the two have been consistently mum on their relationship, pregnancy, and engagement, speculations have started back in January 2018 after Ellen posted a family photo on her official Instagram account with John Lloyd. Since then, sightings of Ellen and her baby bump surfaced on social media, taken by the people who have spotted them in public. Today, the couple have yet to comment about their new baby’s delivery or name. Only when news of baptism surfaced did John Lloyd speak out to deny the rumours on his Instagram this July. He used the caption “F*CK FAKE NEWS”. However, John Lloyd has been spotted in public buying items intended for a baby boy. PHOTOS: @JOHNLLOYDCRUZTM INSTAGRAM SHOWBIZ INSIDER

He also received messages from his Kung Paano Siya Nawala film costars, Vina Morales and Rhian Ramos on their Instagram Stories.
The “SELF” in the caption is Self Enhancement for Life Foundation, a facility located in Talisay, Batangas in the Philippines. Rappler.com reported that JM’s father, Ronniel de Guzman, posted photos and videos on Instagram of his son’s graduation from the rehab program. JM wore a black suit and even planted a mahogany sapling at the facility. JM’s Araw Gabi co-star, Rita Avila, congratulated him
JM de Guzman currently stars in the ABS-CBN drama, Araw Gabi, with Barbie Imperial. Together, their love team is dubbed “JuanBie” (JM’s full name is Juan Miguel).

The actor was the lead in the ABSCBN drama, Angelito: Batang Ama, in 2013. With his then breakup from actress, Jessy Mendiola, and cancellation of his show, he abused drugs and had projects cancelled in 2014. By 2015, JM posted on his Instagram that the cause of his drug problems and erratic behavior was not his ex-girlfriend, Jessy Mendiola. He further claimed to struggle with anxiety attacks, depression, and bipolar disorder. The next year JM volunteered to do the drug rehabilitation program in SELF. JM de Guzman is not only a versatile actor but also a mixed martial artist, model, and singer.

While filming Araw Gabi, JM is also busy multitasking as both actor and executive producer on his film Kung Paano Siya Nawala. Under TBA Studios, JM shares the executive producing role with his leading lady, Rhian Ramos. JM shared, “It’s a blessing because I did not expect TBA to give me this opportunity. It’s more challenging, and a different experience.” Here’s to JM doing well and expanding his horizon beyond acting. PHOTO: @1MIGUELDEGUZMAN INSTAGRAM

hey say a true lady never reveals her age. We all want to look great as we age. And we all know that “woman”. She’s on point from head to toe and carries herself like she means it, defying aging with every step. So what is she doing?

Fe de los Reyes: “Yes, I have been taking this for awhile now and I have seen many benefits for my skin and overall physical health.
Filipino Star: “Why Fountain of Youth Collagen, I have heard of others out there in the market?
Fe de los Reyes: “Sa nabasa ko, Fountain of Youth Collagen is 100%
pure and made from wild caught fish from Canadian waters. Other fish collagen brands may be from fish or fish caught in questionable waters, and do not carry the same certification and I have seen the effects on me and it really works!”
Filipino Star: “Any side effects po?” Fe de los Reyes: “There are none. Fountain of Youth Collagen is also
hypoallergenic, tasteless and odorless. The effects really that I have noticed is hair regrowth, youthful skin, relief from joint pain, improved eyesight and stamina.”

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies. It is found in our muscles, bones, skin and tendons and is referred to as the ‘glue’ that helps hold the body together. It also gives our skin strength and elasticity, and helps replace dead skin cells.
WHY DO WE NEED COLLAGEN As we age, our body’s collagen production naturally slows down. It is easy to tell as it can be seen through sagging skin, wrinkles and weaker cartilage in our joints. Our body’s collagen production can further be slowed down when we smoke, expose ourselves to sun and eat food that are high in sugar.
T YP E S 1, 2 AN D 3 CO L L A G E N A N D T H E I R F U N C T I O N S Type 1
The most abundant type of collagen in the human body. It plays a role in the formation and overall health of the skin, reticular fiber, vascular ligature, placenta, organs, bone (main component of the organic part of bone) and teeth (dentin).
Type 3
A protein that is found in extensible connective tissues such as skin, lungs and the vascular system often in association with Type 1 collagen. It is the 2nd most abundant collagen of soft tissues and dominates early phases of wound healing and granulation tissue formation. Secreted by fibroblasts and other mesenchymal cell types, thus making it a major player in various inflammation-associated pathologies such as lung injury, viral and non-viral liver diseases, kidney fibrosis, hernia, and vascular disorders.
Type 2
Responsible for the formation and function of cartilage and joint.
Over 90% of the total collagen in the human body is Type 1 collagen. The interplay of Type 1 and Type 3 collagen responsible for normalized function associated with inflammation, eyes, internal organ specially lungs and the cardiovascular system. Fountain of Youth Collagen is most abundant in Type 1 and Type 3 collagen.

ave you ever looked and needs of all residents that live in our city. closely at a mosaic? Whether it is a family with children, couples It’s amazing how so without, singles, seniors, roommates, even pets! many small pieces can come together to make a big picture. In a mosaic, as in life, each piece is equally important in the final product. This idea of “chips makes chunks” has driven me to advocate for inclusion and has made me realize why equity is so critical.
“I work
I began my journey as a Coquitlam city councillor in 2013 and since then have been a strong, progressive voice on council. I work tirelessly to speak up for the needs and wants of all the members, for all pieces of the mosaic that is the rapidly growing and changing city of Coquitlam. I have lived in many different cities including Montreal, Toronto, Dallas, Calgary and Edmonton to name a few. In each of the cities I’ve moved to, I was tasked with setting up a home for our family and finding work for myself. Over the last 5 years, 10,000 people find themselves in that same situation during their move to Coquitlam. I know what it is like for them to have to find housing, work, doctors, dentists, recreational activities, friends, and all the other things that make up a life when you move to a new city. This is exactly why inclusive and equitable cities are so important. With this idea of settling into a new city so close to my heart, it continues to be my goal to understand the experiences
tirelessly to speak up for the needs and wants of all the members, for all pieces of the mosaic that is the rapidly growing and changing city of Coquitlam.”
No matter if you’ve lived here for 30 years or are brand new to our city, the needs of people are always in the forefront of my decisions at the council table. I value inclusion not just by listening to what people are saying but by responding.
Before I was elected to council, I was a business analyst. I worked with the marketing and business insights teams of Fortune 500 companies to help them understand their consumer. I am a certified programmer analyst and have a bachelors degree of Sociology from the University of Manitoba. Furthermore, I have a Human Resource Management certificate from the University of Calgary. With this background and my 5 years experience on council, I’ve been gathering feedback from the community. If elected again, I will look to further my goal of an inclusive and equitable Coquitlam. One where each piece stands out on it’s own and is an important part of this beautiful city we call home. See you on the doorstep. – Bonita Zarrillo

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Are Engaged
J
ustin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin recently got engaged according to an article from CNN on July 9, 2018. The engagement of the 24-year-old singer and the 21-year-old model came as a surprise to everyone as Justin and Hailey had dated and broken up back in 2016. However, rumours of the JB & HB couple reunion surfaced because they have been spotted hanging out again in public lately. Social media was in a tizzy when both Justin’s parents posted on their personal accounts hinting at Justin and Hailey’s relationship status. Jeremy Bieber, Justin’s father, uploaded a photo of his son while they were reportedly in the Bahamas. His caption reads: “Proud is an understatement! Excited for the next chapter.” As for Justin’s mother, Pattie Mallette, she tweeted only “Love Love Love Love Love Love Love” on her Twitter. It is alleged that Justin made the wedding proposal to Hailey during their trip in the Bahamas. The engagement between Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin received mixed reactions from fans. Hailey’s father, actor Stephen Baldwin, congratulated the couple on a tweet and later deleted it. As for Hailey’s supposed ex, singer Shawn Mendes, he too only had best wishes. Billboard.com wrote that Shawn sent Hailey a text about her engagement with Justin. Shawn Mendes was interviewed by The Project, an Australian show wherein he said, “I texted Hailey the day of and I said congrats. That’s what it is. Everybody wants there to be more –

there’s not.” Both Shawn and Hailey neither confirmed nor denied their relationship. They did attend the Met Gala in 2017 together as each other’s dates. According to ETonline.com’s source, Justin and Hailey are taking their sweet time in planning their wedding. The source says that the wedding may take place in either the U.S. — New York or Los Angeles — or Canada. They may even do it in both places. The couple wants to keep it simple and skip the extravagant ceremony. Hailey’s aunt, actress Kim Basinger who was once married to actor and uncle Alec Baldwin, has divulged that Hailey’s sister Alaia and her daughter Ireland Baldwin, will be part of the bridal party. Kim added, “So, believe me… it’s cool.” Justin Bieber rose to fame when he was discovered doing song covers on YouTube in 2008 and released his first solo debut album as a teenager. His first single, Baby, was a hit and in 2009, he starred in his 3D biopicconcert film, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. He had constantly come up with R&B hits since then. In 2015, Justin surprised his fans with his album, Purpose, which introduced his new sound that’s more EDM and techno with a collaboration with Diplo and Skrillex for the track, Where Are U Now. The album has three hits: Sorry, What Do You Mean?, and Love Yourself. Despacito (Remix) by Puerto Rican artist, Luis Fonsi, featuring Justin was released in 2017 and added to the world’s fevor for Latin music. Justin is a staunch Christian and attends the same church as Hailey, Hillsong Church in Los Angeles. For a time, Justin was known more for his personal life than music. Justin used to be in a long-term romantic relationship with singer-actress, Selena Gomez and they had on-and-off relationship from 2010 to 2015 and briefly reconciled this 2018. Hailey Baldwin is an American model and television personality, and daughter of Stephen Baldwin, the youngest in the Baldwin brothers. She began her modeling career in 2014 and later ventured in hosting TV shows and events in 2015. After briefly dating Justin Bieber from 2015 to 2016, Hailey was rumoured to have dated singer, Shawn Mendes, but to this day either Shawn or Hailey have confirmed it. PHOTO:GETTY IMAGES

Exes Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried were awkward filming ‘Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again’
D
ominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried fell in love while filming Mamma Mia in 2007. After three years, the couple split and went their separate ways. Amanda is now married to actor, Thomas Sadoski, and they have a one-year-old baby girl. Dominic just recently broke up with girlfriend, actress Ruth Negga. But work is work – ABBA songs needed to be sung. The original cast for Mamma Mia reunited after 10 years for its sequel, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, including Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, and of course, Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried. Diva Cher will play Meryl Streep’s mother in the sequel with the addition of Andy Garcia and Lily James in the cast. For Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, everyone had to return to their old roles. Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfriend played the young romantic leads, Sky and Sophie, respectively. And for part two, they had to pretend like they were just as in love as they were in the first film. How did the exes do it? Dominic said it was indeed a “delicate” situation. UsMagazine. com wrote that Dominic found “it was nice to spend time” with his ex, Amanda, on set. He had to tread carefully though as circumstances have changed between him and Amanda. “She’s a friend. It was always

going to be OK. You just have to be delicate with those situations. She’s married ow and has a beautiful child,” Dominic explained. “We knew we were going to be working together (again) on set, going back to a part, which was certainly going to remind us of 10 years earlier, but I know her family, I know her mum, who was there a lot.” Amanda Seyfried agreed with the awkwardness – in fact, her husband got jealous upon learning that she and her ex, Dominic, will work again together. In Amanda’s interview with Elle.com, she found working with an ex-boyfriend “very strange.” She confessed, “It can be hard but you have to step back and be professional. Dominic and I have such a good relationship that it was easy.” Amanda gave advice for women who have to deal with an ex in a work setting. “The number one, most important thing is setting boundaries. You can’t call each other by the pet names you have for them,” she shared. Amanda Seyfried began her acting career in a soap opera in the ‘90s. The American actress and singer-songwriter made her film debut in 2004 in teen www.filipinostarmagazine.com
comedy, Mean Girls, alongside Lindsay Lohan and Rachael McAdams. She starred in the HBO series, Big Love, from 2006 to 2011 and had her first foray into movie musicals in 2008 in Mamma Mia. Amanda also sang as Cosette in the movie adaptation of Les Miserables in 2012. She previously dated actors Dominic Cooper and Justin Long before marrying the father of her child, Thomas Sadoski, in 2017. Dominic Cooper is an English actor who has worked in TV, film, theatre, and radio. He is most recognized for his roles in the Mamma Mia films and as a young Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger and Agent Carter. Dominic is best friends with actor and host, James Corden. They lived together in a flat while filming The History Boys in 2006. It was Dominic who introduced James to his now wife, Julia. James and Julia’s son, Max, calls Dominic his godfather.
