Bea Alonzo, Vhong Navarro To Team Up in Film
VHONG NAVARRO – The Kapamilya actor-TV host is set to work with Kapuso actress Bea Alonzo for an Erik Matti film.
Vhong is one of the mainstay hosts of the ABS-CBN noontime variety show It’s Showtime which is airing in the Philippines since 2009. For several years now, the actor-TV host has not worked on a movie and many of the fans of Gagamboy, Agent X44, and Mr. Suave surely miss to see him on the big screen.
Several films of Vhong were a hit that gathered countless people in cinemas. Among these movies are the Gagamboy, Mang Kepweng, Mr. Suave, Woke Up Like This, My Only U, D’ Anothers, and Agent X44. Meanwhile, the long wait is over, the actor is set to do a movie.
Vhong Navarro is set to work with Kapuso actress Bea Alonzo for a movie. The upcoming film in which the details have yet to be disclosed will be directed by filmmaker Erik Matti. Based on a post of Vhong, they recently met together with veteran actors Joel Torre and Joey Marquez.
It is not the first for Vhong to be directed by Erik Matti in a movie. He was also the director of the hit film Gagamboy which was starred by the actor and was released in 2004. It’s been two (2) decades since they worked together for Gagamboy and Vhong is undeniably happy to be directed by Direk Erik Matti again.
In the case of Bea, it’s also been years since she worked on a movie. She was a former Kapamilya star for several decades in her acting career but, in 2021, she transferred to GMA-7. The ABS-CBN network was shut down but the network war is now over between the two giant networks.
GMA-7 and ABS-CBN have started working on some projects already. The latter’s noontime variety show where Vhong Navarro is one of the mainstay hosts, the It’s Showtime, is also airing in the Kapuso network. It’s been years since Vhong did a movie.
For several years, Vhong was in a legal battle with model Deniece Cornejo. The Court found Deniece Cornejo and Cedric Lee guilty over the case filed by Vhong.
