Zanjoe Marudo Strives for Versatility, Longevity

Actor Zanjoe Marudo may be "striking while the iron is hot" when it comes to his career, but he definitely does not want to be called "flash in the pan," he revealed so in an interview during his birthday last July 23.

The former model, whose entry to fame was the original "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition," has indeed gone a long way. However, the hunk actor insists he is still far from his goal as an actor.

"Gusto ko magtagal sa industriyang ito. Marami akong gustong gawin eh. Gusto ko mag-drama, gusto ko mag-comedy, gusto ko mag-action. 'Yung hindi nakatali sa isang character o genre," said the 28-year-old star.

So far, he has been successful in showcasing his versatility as a mainstay of comedy show "Banana Split," a lead star in the hit horror flick "Cinco," and the leading man of "Jewel of Romance" Cristine Reyes in the epic TV adaption of Martha Cecilia’s phenomenal "Kristine" pocketbook series debuting on August 16.

Zanjoe revealed that he is challenged by his role Jaime in the teleserye, even if he shares some traits with him.

"Hindi niya agad binibigay lahat hanggang hindi sigurado. Ako ganon din ako, hindi ako pumapasok sa isang bagay hanggat hindi ako sigurado. Pareho rin siguro kaming minsan lang gumawa ng something romantic, pero malakas yung impact kasi hindi sanay yung tao na ganon kami," he said.

He said, like Jaime, he has to work on being more expressive of his feelings, especially his appreciation of good things people do to or for him.

"Hindi kasi ako showy na tao. ‘Pag na-aappreciate ko yung isang bagay eh hindi ko kaagad napapakita. Kaya minsan nagiging negative na, kasi iniisip ng iba hindi ko nagustuhan o na-appreciate," he explained.

One thing that he can very well exude is his dedication to both his family and career.

"Kaya lang naman ako nagta-trabaho dahil kailangan ng pamilya ko. Hindi naman sila humihingi pero nararamdaman ko na kailangan ako. Marami pa rin akong gustong matutunan, gawin. Marami pa akong pangarap," he said.

And in his much-awaited comeback to Primetime Bida via "Martha Cecilia's Kristine" on August 16, people can only expect a better and bolder actor in Zanjoe.

"Gusto kong makuha ‘yung respeto ng ibang tao, ng ibang artista, ng mga katrabaho ko. At iyan ang gagawin ko sa 'Kristine,'" he said with conviction.

Rizal Day Bombing Survivor Remembers Grim Experience

Ano ang iyong gagawin kung sa isang iglap lahat ng pangarap mo ay magunaw sa isang pagsabog?

Ito marahil ang tanong ni Joel Atienza matapos maging isa sa mga biktima ng Rizal Day Bombing noong 2000. Sakay ng tren ng LRT papuntang istasyon ng Blumentritt, puno ang puso niya ng pag-ibig at pag-asa para sa pinapangarap na pamilya nila ng kasintahan.

Ngunit sa isang malagim na pagsabog na kumitil sa 22 buhay at sumira sa kaniyang mga paa, pakiramdam niya ay katapusan na rin ng buhay niya.

Patunay lamang sa tatag ng loob ng mga Pilipino, nalampasan ni Joel ang galit at kawalan ng pag-asa upang ipagpatuloy ang buhay maski na nawalan ng mga paa.

Panoorin kung paano siya bumangon sa trahedya sa "I Survived" ngayong Huwebes, Hulyo 29, kasama si Ces Oreña Drilon, pagkatapos ng "Bandila" sa ABS-CBN.

THE WITNESS

THE WITNESS

 

The bench outside my window, chaperoned by sagacious sycamore earringed in green papery bits, scrutinized by a moon, misted in tears because it is no longer seen, bears witness to fumblings. Fumblings of need, lust, breaking and fixing.

A grey-haired, red-faced human being struggling to control shaking hands, manages a crumpled brown bag from inside his stinking duffle coat. If you listen well enough, you can hear the bench sigh with relief, that at least this man is warm, even if he doesn't have a home. The neck of the bottle soothes crushing appetite like nipple or penis. Cigarette begged for, he moves on talking to the river into a chastening wind.

  

His arm crawls along her shoulder in a moment seized with expectancy. Her face is turned towards the East for the sun to rise. His furtive hand seeks refuge on a shaking thigh, sliding his fingers towards an inner warmth. If you listen well enough, you can hear the bench sigh with sadness at the pinkness. As a tear for lost years hangs from her nose...frozen for a moment, she turns West, unzips, and her head sinking Southwards, she sets off on a familiar journey.

A couple, a troubled man and an anxious woman seek refuge from drizzly rain under a stoic sycamore, and rest their heavy ... weary hearts on an empty, but overloaded bench. If you listen well enough, you can hear the bench sigh in anticipation; at least they are holding each other. Long, cool fingers stroke trembling chin. Her mouth motions that her love is dead, and slides their commitment from her left cool hand, as if playing an adagio for strings. Kissing her emptied mouth for the last time, they walk out of each others' lives.

In the first rush of morning, a hooded youth running, stumbling as he looks backwards breathlessly over his shoulder, collapses into the unrelenting reality of a bench under a sympathetic sycamore dressed in daylight. If you listen well enough, you will hear the bench sigh in desperation that at least this boy has saved his own life. Bitten finger nails clawing, to dig out the cigarette burns from his cheek. He buries an unslept face beneath sheltering armpit as he beats bruised  fist against bruised thigh, reliving the torment inflicted upon him by the serial invasion of space between the hills of his buttocks. Hearing the whine of a distant police car, meant for him, he makes a run for it towards the bridge made of eyes

.

Then when the bench has gone and there's nothing between me, the river and the paint store, whose colour changes lives, if you listen well enough you might still hear the sighing of the bench ... THE WITNESS!

Dubbed as Prince of Indie due to his numerous independent movies like Masahista, Jay, Serbis, Daybreak, Kinatay, Tirador, Noy, among othes, Coco Martin is set to star in his first ever mainstream film titled "Sa 'Yo Lamang."

Coco will star alongside Zanjoe Marudo, Christopher de Leon, Lorna Tolentino, Enchong Dee, Bea Alonzo and Shaina Magdayao as his love interest.

"Sobrang excited ako kasi ito ang kauna-unahan kong mainstream na pelikula. Tapos siyempre ang director ko pa dito ay si direk Laurice Guillen na sobrang galing," said Coco who cannot contain his happening due to the continuous blessings he is currently getting.

He is also scheduled to do a suspense-horror film titled "Dalaw" under Star Cinema, with Diether Ocampo, Mariel Rodriguez, Maja Salvador and Kris Aquino.

Another movie with hunk actor John Lloyd Cruz is also lined-up for him.

While he is excited to do mainstream movies, Coco said is not turning his back on independent films. "Hindi ko iiwan kasi doon ako nagsimula at never, never kong tatalikuran ‘yong pinanggalingan ko."

In fact, Coco will be doing another indie project with well-acclaimed filmmaker Brillante Mendoza next year.
