‘Actor Aga Muhlach was reportedly first offered the role.’
Filming of the Pastor Apollo Quiboloy movie will push through.
The confirmation came from no less than its producer, Borracho Films’ Atty. Ferdinand Topacio.
Atty. Topacio said they have already talked to John Lloyd Cruz (JLC), who is being eyed to play the title role.
JLC has informed them that he might be available this October or November.
Actor Aga Muhlach was reportedly first offered the role.
“Excuse me,” a member of the production staff butted in, “Aga quoted a very high fee kaya no further negotiations happened.
“Itong between JLC and the production, if nothing happens again, we are considering either Carlo Aquino or Paolo Contis for the lead.
“Ang importante ay matuloy ang pelikula at mapanood. Otherwise, marami ang madi-disappoint,” our source further said.

“Ninong ako” was said to be Zanjoe Marudo’s reaction when he learned about Angelica Panganiban’s pregnancy.
Zanjoe and Angelica have developed a friendship after appearing in projects together, although the actor may not be really close to the father of Angelica’s baby, Gregg Homan.
“Mabait siya,” Zanjoe said of Gregg. “At mukhang magiging mabuting asawa at ama.”
How come Zanjoe and Angelica never become an item?
“Well,” Zanjoe answered with a smile. “Nangangahulugan lang kusang umu-usbong ang pag-ibig.”
Zanjoe had dated actress Bea Alonzo, now in a relationship with Dominic Roque, and former host Mariel Padilla, the wife of Robin Padilla.

Aiko Melendez kids Ruffa Gutierrez by calling her “Senadora.” Well, it’s common knowledge that Ruffa is now in a relationship with ex-Mayor Herbert Bautista, a senatorial candidate.
Herbert was part of the Top 12 senatorial bets in a recent Pulse Asia survey.
Aiko, meanwhile, is running for councilor in Quezon City.
She served for nine years as councilor in the second district of Quezon City before.
Other than her candidacy, Aiko is also busy campaigning for her boyfriend, Vice Governor Jay Khonghun, who is running for congressman in Zambales.
There’s a big chance that he will win.
In the case, congratulations in advance to Aiko and Vice Jay.
Love and good luck to Ruffa, too.
