Angelika dela Cruz has renegotiated her contract and returned to GMA, the network where she started her career, and is starring in the new suspense-mystery telenovela Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kita, based on the classic movie from legendary (and openly gay) Filipino director Lino Brocka, based on the classic novel by Gilda Olvidado and which originally starred megastar Sharon Cuneta. It also stars Marvin Agustin, Yasmien Kurdi, JC de Vera, Tonton Gutierrez, Dina Bonnevie, Paolo Contis, and an all-star cast who were recently on Showbiz Central this past Easter sunday to promote the show.
We'd just like to clarify about what we said before that it's okay to remake Spanish telenovelas and Asian shows, because that's completely common around the world, as well as in the United States, for TV shows from one country to be exported to another, and it happens more often than Filipinos realize, just look at most hit American movies nowadays, they're remakes of movies from other countries in Asia and Latin America, and one can't assume that the Philippines was the only non-American country that grew up with 'Saved By The Bell' or 'Baywatch'. That has nothing to do with a lack of Filipino pride, but what does signify it is glorifying people for being raised and educated outside the Philippines.
Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kita Sneak PreviewI've always said that Yasmien Kurdi was an extremely talented all around artist since I first got to know her in 2005, and she's a great singer and recording artist as well, with great songs that she wrote herself, which I immediately liked about her and what set her apart from all of the other cute teen bubbly actresses in the Philippines who just come in for 15 minutes to sing their parts, and then the technicians do the rest, and then a CD is released. She took the time to write her melodies and lyrics, and that's what I really liked about her. Her hit single, which reached #1 on the Philippine music charts, "I Know" with special guest star TJ Trinidad, making a cameo in the video, who was then an unknown actor:
