Love blooms in ‘Dangwa’

Love, they say, blooms in the most unexpected places. 

The hashtag #DangwaGirl went viral recently as university belt students posted about a mysterious girl giving roses away on the streets of Manila. The lovely flower girl was revealed on GMA’s 24 Oras newscast as Janine Gutierrez – who found a unique way to promote her upcoming series.  Janine spent a day giving out red roses to strangers she met along the way, similar to her role in the Network’s upcoming series entitled Dangwa.  The recipients – particularly the young men – were thrilled and quickly posted their encounters on social media.

In the series, the lives of various characters are changed by a chance meeting with Rosa (played by Janine), an enchantingly beautiful flower vendor in Manila’s most popular flower market.  

Each character who buys a flower from Rosa will discover that love unexpectedly blooms in his or her own life.  A new love story will be introduced to viewers every Monday and end on a Friday… except for the story of Rosa herself, which will slowly unfold as the season progresses.

Rosa’s heartwarming smile and mischievous ways capture the hearts of flower delivery boy Baste (played by Mark Herras) and furniture designer Lorenzo (played by Aljur Abrenica), but there is more to the girl than they ever expected. 

Dangwa’s pilot week, which stars Kapuso teens Barbie Forteza and Ruru Madrid, is penned by Jerome Zamora and directed by Adolf Alix, Jr. and Rember Gelera. This is followed by equally engrossing love stories portrayed by Carla Abellana and Rafael Rosell, Rhian Ramos and Geoff Eigenmann, Bianca Umali and Miguel Tanfelix, and Pauleen Luna and Gerald Napoles.

Brian Poe a registered voter since 2010

Brian Poe  can only smile when he hears about the intrigues thrown at his mother, Senator Grace Poe, soon after she made her intention to run for president in 2016.

Says Brian, “There is no truth that he and his father Niel Llamanzares can’t vote for Grace because of their dual citizenship. Both he and his dad are Americans but also hold Philippine passports.           

“I have been voting as a Filipino since 2010,” declared the son of Senator Poe.         

He was one of the more than 20 million voters that put Grace in the Senate in 2013. Sen. Poe had also reacted on this issue about her husband and son.

In a radio interview, Sen. Poe said that the parents of her husband are both Filipinos who went to the US for further studies on account of scholarships they were both granted.

 “Since his parents are Filipinos, he is a Filipino, too. They say he can’t vote for me because he isn’t a Filipino. That’s not true. Since 1986, he was voting here in the Philippines, also in 2010 and 2013, and hopefully in 2016,” explained Sen. Poe.

Her two daughters are not of voting age yet, according to Susan Roces, mother of the Senator and widow of Fernando Poe, Jr..
