What happens when a story about love, loss, and unfinished business is told from both sides of the camera? 🎬

Samahan si Ian Pangilinan as he talks about Patay Gutom—returning to BL not just as an actor, but also as a first-time director. From balancing Ian the actor and Ian the director, to bringing together the film’s live-action and animated worlds, we talk about what it means to help tell a story from behind and in front of the camera, and how making the film changed the way he sees love, loss, and second chances.

🎬 Patay Gutom, starring Khalil Ramos and Ian Pangilinan and directed by Carl Papa and Ian Pangilinan, is still showing in selected Ayala Malls Cinemas and Gateway Cinemas as part of the Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival.

Hindi naman talaga madaling mamili kapag parehong mahalaga sa’yo ang dalawang tao. Pero kung kailangan mong pumili between supporting your partner sa biggest moment niya at being there for your family, saan nga ba dapat mapunta ang time, effort, and presence mo?

Samahan sina Xyriel Manabat at River Joseph of Stuck On You as they talk through our letter sender’s dilemma about love, family, sacrifice, and kung hanggang saan nga ba tayo willing pumunta for the people we love.

🎬 Stuck on You, starring River Joseph and Xyriel Manabat and directed by Mikko Baldoza, is now showing in selected Ayala Malls and Gateway Cinemas as part of the Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival, running from September 23 to October 4.

What are you willing to do for love? 💘

Ngayong episode, kasama natin sina River Joseph, Xyriel Manabat, at Direk Mikko Baldoza to talk about Stuck on You—from the unexpected journey of Max and Sheryl, to River and Xyriel’s transition from their PBB dynamic to playing a romantic pair on screen.

Growing up often means realizing that not all friendships need the same kind of time, effort, or attention to stay meaningful.

In this episode of Ganito Kasi ’Yan!, Jacob sits down with Josh to talk about the different ways we show up for our friends and what happens when those expectations don’t always match.

From being the friend who can go weeks without talking to the one who needs constant updates and quality time, they unpack what makes a friendship high-maintenance or low-maintenance, whether one is necessarily better than the other, and how to navigate friendships when you don’t always need or give the same amount of effort.

Sometimes, moving forward means learning to embrace the end of a chapter that once defined so much of your life.

In this episode of Ganito Kasi ’Yan!, Jacob sits down with Lance de Castro to talk about life after the UAAP, stepping into professional volleyball, and navigating a new season beyond being a student-athlete. After choosing to stay with Ateneo for one final season and making the Final Four, Lance opens up about what it feels like to leave the Blue Eagle chapter behind, adjusting to a new routine, and figuring out what comes next now that the path ahead isn’t as familiar.

What if becoming yourself doesn’t mean choosing just one version of who you want to be?

Yllana Aduana has worn many hats throughout her life—a MedTech, flight attendant, model, beauty queen, and advocate. But behind every title is a different version of Yllana, each one revealing something new about who she is and who she wants to become.

In this episode of Ganito Kasi ‘Yan!, we talk about growing up curious, exploring different paths, and learning to embrace the many identities we can take on throughout our lives. Yllana opens up the things she has discovered by stepping outside of her comfort zone, and the parts of herself she has chosen to protect—and those she has had to let go of along the way.

Because maybe finding yourself isn't about figuring out exactly who you're supposed to be. Maybe it's about giving yourself the freedom to keep becoming.

Leaving home is only the beginning. For Eugene Chad, moving from Iloilo to Makati meant learning how to navigate adulthood, make difficult sacrifices, and build a career while figuring out who he wanted to become.

In this episode of Ganito Kasi ‘Yan!, Eugene opens up about the seasons of his life that challenged him the most—from financial pressure and uncertainty to the moments that made him realize he was no longer a kid. We talk about the sacrifices people don’t see, the realities of building a life from scratch, and how his Ilonggo roots and authentic personality shaped the person and creator he is today.

Because sometimes, growing up isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about learning to embrace the season you’re in and trusting who you’re becoming.
