Love at first watch: The magic of “Dear Heart” revisitedarticle
It was the film that started it all for Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion. “Direk Danny [Zialcita] wanted my character in the movie to be close to my real self para daw hindi ako mahirapan,” confided Sharon to entertainment columnist-host Ricky Lo when asked about her first film Dear Heart in 1981. As for her leading man, Sharon bluntly confessed that, at first, “Anybody but Gabby Concepcion. I found out na mabait naman pala siya when we started shooting.” Love at first watch: The magic of “Dear Heart” revisited Wednesday, April 16, 2008 After Sharon was given a recording contract at the age of 12, singer-composer Rey Valera remembers feeling perplexed when he was commissioned to write a song for the young singer. A straight-ahead love song, according to Valera, didn’t seem fit for someone so young.
But Rey wouldn’t allow himself either to write anything like a nursery tune. He toiled for a few days. And then, while riding a jeepney he suddenly came up with a song he’d call “Mr. DJ.” Valera instinctively knew that he unearthed a gold mine. “Mr. DJ” did become a major hit and the young Sharon Cuneta became a singing sensation.
Sharon charmed her way into the OPM charts and into the hearts of Filipino listeners. Two years after her breakthrough as a recording artist, she was being eyed by some producers to star in a movie.
ANYBODY BUT GABBY. The theme of Sharon’s first film, at only 15, was a no brainer—young love with the usual Romeo-and-Juliet elements, minus Shakespeare’s tragic touch.
Contrary to popular notion, Sharon’s first movie was not produced by Viva Films but by a production outfit known as Sining Silangan. Director Danny Zialcita was tapped to direct the film; part of his job was also to convince the Cuneta household to allow Sharon to jump into acting.
“I was a singer when this movie was offered to me,” said Sharon in an interview with QTV 11’s Ang Pinaka…
Almers De Luna, a proud member of the group Sharon’s Angels, revealed that the Cunetas asked for a P220,000-talent fee, which at the time was a staggering amount for a newcomer. To the disbelief of Sharon’s parents, Sining Silangan agreed to pay the sum without reservation.
“Direk Danny said to my mom, and I will never forget this until the day I die, if the mayor [Sharon's dad, Pablo Cuneta] and you do not allow Sharon to do this I will never make this movie. I will shelve this forever,” Sharon fondly recalled. “So it was really me.”
Sharon was the only choice for the heroine but the leading man was a different story. She did not like Gabby.
the prince who turned to a frog (王子變青蛙) starring ming dao and chen qiao enwatching fated to love you got me into watching the prince who turned to a frog! i really like qiao en! she’s real funny! while this was being broadcast in the philippines, i thought it was not worth recording it (as it was in the afternoon pre-primetime slot), because mingdao did not look dashing and/or cute enough! plus i felt he was cross-eyed! although i hate amnesia stories (for heaven’s sake this probably happen to 0.0001 of the people in the world!), the story seemed to work for me! thanks to the funny characterizations, and the right pacing, it worked!

But their passionate personalities bring them together that they learned to love and accept each other.
But love isn’t always too good to be true. Ben’s involvement in his NGO pushes him to come face to face with Michelle’s father. In the end, Michelle has to make the ultimate decision of choosing between the two men she loves the most.
and here’s a write-up (credit philippine entertainment portal)  Direk Joey Reyes talks about the chemistry between Aga and Anne in “When Love Begins” Wednesday, April 9, 2008 Aga Muhlach and Anne Curtis were in Boracay from March 25 to April 2 to shoot Star Cinema and Viva Films’s co-production When Love Begins. Despite the 14-year age gap between the two stars, the director of the movie believes that they were able to effectively portray lovers who are both afraid of being in a relationship.
Direk Joey Reyes told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during his solo presscon earlier today, April 9, that the chemistry of the 38-year-old matinee idol and the 23-year-old actress was “fine.” But he admitted that he was initially worried how the two would appear together.
“I was worried because people might say, ‘My God, he’s been around for so long and she’s so young.’ But it doesn’t matter. He’s so good-looking and she’s so sexy,” said the director.
In When Love Begins, Aga plays a lawyer-turned-environmentalist named Ben Caballero while Anne is a marketing executive named Michelle “Mitch” Valmonte. According to Direk Joey, Mitch is “a very rich girl who’s dancing from one relationship to another. And she does not believe in commitments, either.”
Christopher de Leon plays a special role in this movie as Anne’s father. He works in a real-estate company that plans to convert land in Boracay into commercial areas. This puts his work in conflict with the character of Aga who aims to maintain ecological balance in Boracay.
This is the 18th movie of Direk Joey with Aga but his first time to work with Anne Curtis. “I’ve done so many movies with Aga Muhlach before and again, this is a pleasant experience. He’s a personal friend, so again, I’m looking forward to working with him again and again.”
Direk Joey and Aga’s last project together was the movie Kung Ako Na Lang Sana (2003) with Sharon Cuneta.
As for his working relationship with Anne, he said, “This is the first time I’ve worked with her and this is a delight. I’m happy that I have been entrusted and given the privilege of working with them. Anne is so uncomplicated, walang arte, walang kiyeme, napakabait at pleasant na bata. And I want to work with her again, very very soon! After the many months of working with them, I’m very happy,” revealed Direk Joey.
According to Star Cinema’s promo specialist Jun Mayuga, they started shooting the film last year but shootings were cancelled when Aga Muhlach’s mother, Mrs. Anita Aquino, passed away last November 18 due to lung cancer.
Scenes of the movie were shot in Station 1, Station 2, and Puka Beach on the other side of the Boracay island. When Love Begins will open in theaters nationwide starting April 30, 2008.
