Shaina and Matteo to star in Cinema One's first breakthrough series
Shaina Magdayao and Matteo Guidicelli
“Single\Single”, Cinema One and The Philippine Star’s first
project, is the cable channel’s first TV series that focuses on issues ranging
from quarter-life crises to relationship dilemmas in a digital world. More
importantly, the series aims to underscore the importance of handling finances,
career path planning, and having a work-life balance for the urban millennial.
The series follows the story of Joee (Shaina) and Joey
(Matteo), two single strangers who will exchange sparks or non-sparks as
an odd couple forced to share an apartment for practical reasons and tries to
answer the question, “when strangers have no choice but to share the rent,
will it be a disaster or a happy ever after?”
As a first of its kind project on Philippine cable TV,
“Single\Single” combines the power of cable and print media to talk to Filipino
millennials about how to cope as a single individual in an entertaining format.
Each week after an episode airs on Cinema One, in-depth discussion about wealth
management will be provided in the Philippine Star’s Business Lifestyle section
by wealth management expert and inspirational speaker, Francis Kong.

The show’s lead stars also serve as role models to
millennials. Shaina, who grew up in showbiz, is one of the many young
celebrities who has managed her finances well. She owns several business
ventures, including a salon and a summer camp for kids.
Meanwhile, Matteo who hails from Cebu, also has a background in
entrepreneurship as his family has established businesses in his
hometown.
Also joining the cast of “Single\Single” are Cherie Gil who
plays Matteo’s single mom in a very offbeat parent role; award-winning Cinema
One Originals actress Anna Luna as Shaina’s career-driven buddy; and theater
actor Brian Sy as Shaina’s gay friend. Indie favorites Mara Lopez and Matt
Daclan will also be completing the cast in guest roles.
“Single\Single” is under the direction of
international award-winning independent cinema director Pepe Diokno, who also
marks his first venture into cable TV and comedy. Palanca winner Lilit Reyes
serves as the series’ writer, while film producer of the highest grossing Pinoy
indie movie “That Thing Called Tadhana,” Bianca Balbuena produces the
series.
“Single\Single” premieres this August 29 on Cinema One. New
episodes will air every Saturday at 8PM with replays on Wednesdays at 830PM and
Sundays at 10PM.
Cinema One aims to support and uphold Filipino produced
movies and shows by screening Filipino movies and showcasing Filipino
