IT was our first time to attend a “very Pinoy” press conference, and we really had fun. It was the presscon of Adik Sa ‘Yo of GMA 7, where everything was indeed “Pinoy” — from stage design, table decoration, food, the opening number from a group of rondalla and guitar performers, and the traditional “sayaw sa bangko” and “maglalatik” dance numbers from guest performers.
Held at Oasis Events Venue in Quezon City on June 2009, the cast of Adik Sa ‘Yo was presented to the members of the press via “Santacruzan”, a Filipino cultural tradition. Kapuso stars who lead the cast are Dennis Trillo, Jennica Garcia, Marvin Agustin, and Jolina Magdangal. According to GMA 7, the show is an original and “uber” romantic primetime series.
It was cool watching all the members of the cast in the traditional Filipino costumes – fabulous gowns and barongs worn by veteran stars Ms Elizabeth Oropesa, Joey Marquez, Luz Valdez, German Moreno, and Ms Chanda Romero, and the younger generation of stars which include Pauleen Luna, Iwa Moto, Chariz Solomon, and Vaness del Moral.
Also at the presscon were GMA executives Lilybeth Rasonable, Rams David, and Helen Rose Sese. With Jun Lana as creative consultant, Adik Sa ‘Yo is the biggest break of Jennica in television, after having casted in previous teleseryes. Cast member John “Sweet” Lapus almost stole the limelight when he entered the red carpet with his fabulous red gown as a “sagala”. Others in the cast are Eugene Domingo, Benjie Paras, Ces Quesada, Mosang, and Tony Mabesa. Multi-awarded director Joel Lamangan is at the helm.
