Jossette Ocampo, better known as Sylvia Sanchez. She is married to Arturo Atayde and the mother of actors Arjo Atayde and actress Ria Atayde.

I am personally awe with the acting ability of Ms. Sylvia Sanchez. We all know that she is always acting a mother role in some of teleserye in the ABS CBN. According to her, every role that she got was very challenging, she needs to internalize and study well the role so that she can give justice and portray it well.
She relates herself and her life to her current role in the teleserye Hanggang Saan, that's of being a mother is really tough and will do whatever it is for the sake of her sons or daughters. She will fight for them. She will do everything to let them live. Truly she is a kind of mother that every sons/daughter will want to have.
I find Ms. Sylvia simple and super down to earth. There was this one instance that we have a chikahan with her in one of the fast food. She was asked if we can change location for better chikahan moment with her, but she said "Dito na lang tayo, galing ako sa hirap, hindi ako maarte'. She's so accommodating and very nice to chat with. She's good at making friends and no wonder she's adored with her acting career.

I personally asked her during our mini chikahan about their bonding moment. For me as a Mom, family bonding is a must especially when most of our kids are grown ups. According to Ms. Sylvia, most of the time their family bonding is over lunch or dinner. They just eat together at their house because they seldom go out. They just make sure that everyone are present and they do that only during Sundays. That was just the time they went out. Their family loves to eat, she shared also that sometime she cooked food like pasta and pizza for his sons and daughter because her family truly love this especially when she is the one who cooks it.

Thank you Ms. Sylvia with the chika overload and hope to see you soon to taste your pasta and pizza. More power on your current teleserye, that Viewers are really hooked with it because of your acting abilities.

Do Watch her teleserye #HanggangSaan at ABS CBN Kapamilyta Gold every Monday to Friday | #HanggangSaanSylvia

A love story that is out of the conventional flow. Yes it has the girl, boy and the other but what's intriguing is that it doesn't stops there. The whole story is different. Will be sharing my review on the movie soon but for now I will let you all enjoy the Valentine watching the movie. But of course we will sharing something about the cast, the director and about the movie.

Grade B by the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB), Janella and Elmo’s milestone project is directed by international award-winning director, producer and writer Perci Intalan, who had nothing but great words for his lead stars.
“Janella is born to be a real-life Disney Princess. She has the talent, the looks, the personality and the sheer energy,” sain Intalan, “Luckily, Elmo, also has a beautiful singing voice and complements her perfectly. And this allowed us to create a pivotal musical moment in the film where the audience will just know what that this couple is meant to be together.”

Intalan, who also worked as an executive producer at the Walt Disney Company for six years, further shared that “My Fairy Tail Love Story” is the right material that he had been waiting for after his internationally acclaimed, Nora Aunor –starrent 2014 film “Dimentia”.


“I wanted to do something totally different from Dementia. And it can’t get any more different than “My Fairy Tail Love Story”, he said. “There have been so many successful mermaid stories in cinema and on TV but our store is different. It’s our chance to tell a story with the youth of today in mind and that’s what gives our film a distinct personality from past mermaids. We won’t just tell a story but we will create a movie experience with Janella, Elmo and KIko Estrada that our audience will never forget.”

This February, Viva Films invites you to join in the fun as award-winning actor Paolo Ballesteros plays a guy trying to discover his true identity in “Amnesia Love”.
Found unconscious by the beach in a remote island in Zambales, the character of Paolo Ballesteros is taken in by a compassionate couple (Lander Vera-Perez and Maricel Morales ). When he wakes up, he cannot remember his name nor anything else. The couple’s daughter (Yam Concepcion) is skeptical about this guy’s condition, but is left with no choice but to let him stay in their home. Romance starts to brew between the two, but this amnesia patient displays some acts that are not exactly manly, and finds himself distracted by the sight of attractive men. When somebody from his past comes to shed light on who and what he really is, will the answers bring him peace or mayhem?

With a Best Actor award each from Tokyo Film Festival and Metro Manila Film Festival under his belt, Ballesteros said in an interview that he wants to keep making movies that would make people think. “Mapag-iisip yung tao…I want a good film na worth yung pagod.”
This outlook is shared by director Albert Langitan, who has worn different hats in the world of local production. He started out as a scriptwriter, then went on to direct reality shows and teleseryes such as Impostora and Super Ma’am. It is interesting to see how Langitan’s creative eye and Ballesteros’ passion for his craft work together to bring viewers a laugh-out-loud movie that’s hard to forget.

Adding spice to the film is Viva’s versatile actress, Yam Concepcion who was first launched to stardom via Erik Matti’s adult drama “Rigodon”. “Amnesia Love” is Paolo and Yam’s reunion film. They worked together in the 2016 Blockbuster movie, “Bakit Lahat Ng Gwapo May Boyfriend” with kapuso star Dennis Trillo and the Princess of All Media, Anne Curtis.
Joining Paolo, Yam, Lander and Maricel in the cast are Polo Ravales, Vandolf Quizon, Geleen Eugenio and Sinon Loresca.

“Amnesia Love” is showing in cinemas nationwide, starting February 28, 2018.

Love is in the air, there are too many ways to celebrate hearts day. Usually, families go out on a date, dine in, watching movies, strolling, going to the park and so on and so forth. Now, I did something new for us, I want my kids to remember this kind of celebration. I did a video interview with my kids, asking them about what is valentines day for them and where they will take their date on that day. Even my husband don’t know my plan. Well, it just pop in my mind, so this is it, our different kind of celebration.

Date With Bebe Gelo
Interview session with Bebe Gelo before we went to church. I asked Gelo what is Valentine’s Day for him, he said that it is the time of giving card of love to your date, girlfriend or boyfriend. Watch the video below;

My Next question is "If he is going to have a date with me on Valentine’s Day where will it be?" He Said, Jollibee!!! He is going to eat “all of it”, like burger, French fries and chicken.
So we spent our date at Jollibee and he was so happy. He really likes Jollibee very much and of course I asked him again what we are doing and if he is happy. Gelo said He is happy because he is the 1st kid dating a woman/girl. Yes, he’s so happy because he is the first one to date me than Kuya Maki and Daddy.

Then afterwards, I told him that I have a surprise for him. As we walk going to my surprise, he was so excited, and then suddenly he saw the place, the “Toms World” he immediately hug me and said “Thank You Mommy I love You!” too bad that was the time that I did not took video on him, but still I’m the happiest mom ever because Bebe Gelo is so so so sweet ever. Seeing him walking alone, enjoying the day and keep saying thank you mommy makes me teary eyed because my purpose of this kind of Valentine’s Day celebration was achieved and I know deep in his heart he will remember the way we spent hearts day.

On that note, I thought we end up the day just the two of us, but no, as we were about to left Tom’s World, Bebe Gelo told me that the next time we visit again Tom’s World should be with Daddy Marco and Kuya Maki. I hug him and I told him that we will visit again Tom’s World as Family, maybe Sunday after we attended Church Worship Service.

Date With Kuya Maki
Kuya Maki is my son with a few words to tell. If you ask him then he will answer one word. Kuya Maki is so shy like me, that is when I am still young. But we are pushing Maki to be confident enough to face the world.
Well, I asked Kuya Maki also about Valentine's Day and where he date me on Valentine's Date. Take note Gelo has 2 videos for the specific question , but Kuya Maki compressed in 1 video only. Just like I said, my son with a few words. According to Kuya Maki, Valentine's Day is Love to special person. And he will take me on the resto with burger and chicken because he really loves me.

So we went to Wing Zone, of course I’ll be the one who will pay the bill.I am not worried at all because I have GCs (gift certificate) for that, hehehe. Just to give my son a very memorable Valentine’s Day ever. So we went to Megamall which is so far from our place, but still Kuya Maki manage to go there with me without hassle in travelling.
We ordered Chicken, burger and fries. Maki loves the flavour of chicken, he enjoyed it because according to him it is diffirent from the usual fried chicken he always eat. After our lunch I asked him if he wants some dessert, yes of course Kuya Maki immediately ordered Ice cream, a strawberry ice cream. His favourite flavour and he really enjoyed it he like the way Wing zone served the ice cream.
Of course after lunch I had a surprise for him just like Bebe Gelo, but this time it’s not an arcade. It’s Krispy Kreme Donuts, He really love the glazed donut, so when we went there, his eyes got widened because he is so excited to eat it. But the catch here, I am giving him the money and he is the one buying what he wants to eat. Yes, he did it, he bought 6 glazed donuts and eat it in our house.
Kuya Maki really enjoyed the day, the very far travel for him, the food and of course the surprise, he even thank me for the great day. Love him so much, I love my boys very much.

Date With Daddy Marco
Last but not the least of course date with my hubby. We spent our date after we went to a sort of talks/seminar in the morning. Then Daddy Marco brought me in a resto serving Baby Back Ribs, yes, that’s my favourite. The place is too far but the food is awesome, love it. We spent our Valentine’s Day at Beefalo.
Love the coziness of the place, we just spent our date there. Talk a lot while munching on the food that he ordered especially the Baby Back Ribs. We almost know each other, because we’ve been together for almost 24 years. We are going to celebrate our 18th Wedding Anniversary this year.
Yes my hubby is my bestfriend, my companion, the love of my life and the true man for me. I love him so much and the food is always there for us, we love eating.

And that’s the way we celebrated Valentine’s Day/Date this year. Of course we have a family date as always. I love to date with my boys every day.

GMA Afternoon Prime presents two women at odds fighting for family and love via the new teleserye "The Stepdaughters". GMA Network proudly unveils this newest drama series which will begin on February 12.
The Stepdaughters is a story of two women who are both beautiful and intelligent but with personalities that couldn’t be any more different. They have always been destined to be rivals and both of them aren’t ones to back away from a fight.

Headlining this drama are Miss World 2013 Megan Young and versatile Kapuso actress Katrina Halili, together with GMA’s prime leading man Mikael Daez.
Megan Young is Mayumi Dela Rosa. Beautiful and intelligent, she graduated with a degree in Chemistry with flying colors. She also dreams of creating her own makeup product line someday.
Katrina Halili is Isabelle Salvador. She is an only child who grew up spoiled and self-centered. She also manages her family’s makeup line, Coco Bella.
Mikael Daez is Francis Almeda. He is handsome, smart, and works as a head product engineer. He meets Mayumi and falls in love with her, despite Isabelle’s incessant prodding for him to love her back.
In the series, Mayumi and Isabelle never really liked each other, even more so when Mayumi’s mother, Luisa, and Isabelle’s father, Hernan, fall for one another and get married, making them stepsisters.

But no secret ever stays a secret, especially ones that are rooted within families. When Isabelle finds out what Hernan has done, she will do all that it takes to keep everything they have, even if it means taking down Mayumi. But Mayumi will never let anyone hurt her or her loved ones. Now both Mayumi and Isabelle will fight for what is rightfully theirs—family, honor, and love.

Completing the cast are:
Angelu De Leon as Brenda Salvador, Hernan’s wife who loves and spoils their daughter Isabelle very much;
Sef Cadayona as Bryce Morales, Francis’ friend and officemate working as a graphic designer at the company;

The Stepdaughters is a classic soap which highlights some of the most important values in life—honesty, love for family, the determination to reach one’s dreams despite the odds, and how true beauty stems from having a genuinely good heart.

The series is under the helm of director Paul Sta. Ana with the creative team composed of creative director Roy Iglesias, creative consultant Aloy Adlawan, concept creator and headwriter Geng Delgado, writers J-mee Katanyag and Kutz Enriquez and brainstormers Evie Macapugay, Wiro Michael Ladera, and Nehem Dallego.

Magno, Assistant Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, Senior Program Manager Hazel F. Abonita and Executive Producer Lui Cadag.
Last week I was able to have the chance to watch the first 2 episodes of The StepDaughter together with Megan, Katrina, Sef and Mikael. It was truly a touchy drama series and every scene really reaches the inner heart. The story tackles many problems that people encounters. It's a story that viewers will enjoy watching it. 
Just like Ms. Katrina said, the casting is great, the characters are just right for the roles. They were really right for the role and the performance were very well. The story is very timely and will touch some of the problem here in our society. They show also some of the teaser and because of that we are longing for their throwing of lines, Katrina and Megan in the coming episodes.
For sure viewers will get mad/angry, love, pity, and lessons, those are the things that The Stepdaughter will impart to all viewers. kudos to all of the cast and members of the teleserye for sure will gives mark this one in the history of teleserye.
