REGAL Entertainment, Inc.’s Love is Blind, tagged as this year’s riotous love story, couldn’t be shown at a more opportune time. It opened yesterday, four days before Valentine’s Day.

The film’s trailer alone is an instant favorite among netizens what with hunk actor Derek Ramsay falling for the charm of petite and plain looking Kiray Celis.

Love is Blind takes off from Kiray’s desire to lure Derek into falling in love with her by using a love potion that transforms her into svelte and hot chick Solenn Heussaff. The rom-com project is ex-sweethearts Derek and Solenn’s first together. It was made possible by the mother and daughter tandem of Regal’s Lily and Roselle Monteverde.

Derek and Solenn met the challenge with much enthusiasm and sooner than they expected, the old flame of friendship was rekindled while they were on the set. As for Kiray, she feels lucky to have paid lip service with Derek on the bigscreen.

One of the film’s highlights, in fact, is that scene where she and Derek are frolicking on the beach. Their kissing scenes are scene-stealers as well but director Jason Paul Laxamana made sure they were done in a comical way.

Aside from Derek, Kiray’s lips were “devirginized” in kissing scenes with Kean Cipriano, which she describes were “passive” compared to Derek’s “torrid.”

Other than romance, comedy and laugh trip, the film inspires everyone to never lose hope in love and to believe that no matter how blind, all is still fair in life and love.

Roll with laughter, fall hopelessly in love with the team of Derek, Solenn, Kean and Kiray in 2016’s most hilarious and riotous love story, Love is Blind, from the direction of Jason Paul Laxamana, who gave us much-acclaimed films like Magkakabaung and more.

Grace convinced she’s not a Marcos

The rumor that Grace Poe is the daughter of the late Ferdinand Marcos with 60’s star Rosemarie Sonora, Susan Roces’ sister, has been persistently bouncing like a basket ball in many a conversation.

It was in the 70s when that rumor was first heard of, and since then it has circulated across the archipelago. Now, it can be considered an “urban legend” that even Vice Presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos can only smile in disbelief.

According to stories from the Poe camp, Grace was found in Jaro church in Iloilo and was later given to the movie couple Fernando Poe Jr. and Susan Roces for adoption.

As an adult, Grace wanted to submit herself to a DNA test if only to find out or prove she is not a Marcos. Not, for anything, she said.

“No, I don’t think there is a reason to, but sometimes it crosses my mind paramatapos na lang hindi ba, para mawala na pero you also have to respect also the sentiments of some,” Grace said during an interview.

Grace believes there is no truth to that rumor as she had heard stories how she became the adopted daughter of the Poe couple from friends of the family.

“I was born in 1968 and my Tita Rose had a show with Pepito Rodriguez and she wasn’t pregnant any time during that time,” Grace said.

“She made several movies at Sampaguita and Tita Marichu Maceda will be able to list those actual movies, that she wasn’t pregnant so I don’t think she is my mother,” she added.

She is asking Sheryl Cruz’s apology as her family has been dragged into the controversy.

“I mean if that is the case, I was born in 1968 but some people still want to keep the urban legend alive. Maybe my cousin (Sheryl) will definitely not give a DNA test because she is furious about it and I apologized to her for dragging her in to this unintentionally,” Grace said.
