Alden Richards is so natural playing local Superhero as "Victor Magtanggol"


Alden Richards as Victor Magtanggol 


Last Firday, we were imvited by GMA Network to witness the pilot preview of Alden Richards latest project, "Victor Magtanggol" held at Cinema 76 in Anonas, Quezon City. Before the main screening of the Pilot Preview, we were fortunate enough to meet some of the cast of VM (Victor Magtanggol). Reese Tuazon, who plays Honeylyn, a family friend was there, then there's Chynna Ortaleza-Cipriano who plays Lynette, Victor's older sister and the very beautiful Janine Gutierrez, who plays Gwen, Victor's (Alden) love interest. 

Victor Magtanggol's cast who graced the Pilot Preview, (L to R): Reese Tuazon, Chynna Ortaleza and Janine Gutierrez with host, GMA Artist Center's Nar Cabico 








We were all very eager and excited to watch the pilot episode of VM in advanced and I just can't wait to let you all know my thoughts and ideas about it now that I've already watched it. At first, I really don't have expectations about the show, about the cast and with the lead actor, Alden. The initial part of the story started with a narration, which was for me, is imperative for us, the viewers to have a brief background of how it all started...

Then the main characters like Victor's whole family and friends came into the picture. It was also shown that Ms. Coney Reyes, who plays Victor's mom had left her family and went put of the country to seek greener pasteurs particularly in Canada. I would like to commend the screenplay writer because he/she clearly showed to us the importance of family. You see, with us, being Filipinos, we really have a close-knit family relationship, right?! Victor's love and closeness to his family has made him more passionate about his work as an all-around carpenter and that he's always ready to give a helping hand similar to a "Superhero" unmindful of his self and his safety. This selfless act of his, was brought about by his past and very mysterious background which will be unleashed as the story progresses. 

What I also like about the story, it was purposedly made lighter and more bearable for the viewers most especially for the younger generation. I also admire its effects which, according to some sources were programmed by the gamers themselves. The fun and laughter is definitely present, and the excitement never stay, you are always looking forward to what will happen next. 

Alden Richards 


Above everything, I've seen Alden's growth as an actor. He was so natural here, he even does his own adlibs and antics which were all in perfect timing and valid. I love how he makes us feel comfortable watching him. His wonderful and handsome aura still spell magic to the viewers. He still possesses the charm and wit that everyone loved about him ever since. 


With my bebe Janine after the VM pilot preview. Congrats!!! 


For all the Kapuso viewers here's another story that we all love to watch with our family. Wholesome and very entertaining! 

Please do catch it's pilot episode on July 30, Monday after "24 Oras," over GMA Network. 


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------






 Expect no less than the best from GMA Network with the launch of the highly-anticipated and ground-breaking telefantasya, Victor Magtanggol. 


Inspired by the Norse Mythology, the drama series features the country’s most respected and talented artists headlined by Kapuso prime actor Alden Richards who is all set to take on an extraordinary mission of protecting good from evil as Victor Magtanggol. 

Making the series even grander are the actors in the mythological world: John Estrada as Loki, the god of deception who wants to get hold of the Mjolnir to use its power to create monstrous offsprings; Andrea Torres as Sif, the last wife of Thor and the golden-haired goddess of love and family who trains Victor how to control his powers and use the Mjolnir; Pancho Magno as Modi, Thor's son and the god of battle who will eventually be one of Victor’s greatest rivals; Miguel Faustman as Magni/Magnus, the other son of Thor who kept the Mjolnir and with the special participation of Conan Stevens as Thor, the god of thunder and owner of the powerful hammer, Mjolnir. 

Joining the powerhouse ensemble are the important characters in Victor’s life: The Magtanggol Family of Victor with Al Tantay as Tomas Magtanggol, a loving father to Victor and his siblings; Chynna Ortaleza as Lynette Magtanggol-Domingo, the strict yet caring older sister of Victor; Dion Ignacio as Perci Domingo, the devoted and funny husband of Lynette; Lindsay De Vera as Anne Magtanggol, the kikay cosplayer and younger sister of Victor; Reese Tuazon as Honeylyn, Anne’s best friend; Yuan Francisco as Meloy Domingo, the sole child of Lynette and Perci and the first one to know the secret identity of his uncle Victor; and playing a very important role is Ms. Coney Reyes as Vivienne, the mother of Victor who got separated from him after a long time.

Playing equally vital roles are the members of the Regalado Family: Eric Quizon as Hector Regalado, the ambitious and hungry for power politician; Freddie Webb as Renato Regalado, the father of Hector; Maritoni Fernandez as Alice Regalado, the second wife of Hector; Kristoffer Martin as Lance Espiritu, the brooding and enigmatic stepson of Hector; and Janine Gutierrez as Gwen Regalado,  Hector’s daughter who becomes a field reporter covering news about Hammerman. Eventually, she falls in love with him. 

Victor works as an OFW to look for his mother Vivienne (Coney Reyes).  He becomes friends with Magnus (Miguel Faustman), the curator of the museum where he works for. Magnus’ life will be jeopardized because of Loki (John Estrada). Victor will find out that Magnus is not a mortal being and he is the god Magni and one of Thor’s sons. Before Magnus dies, he will give Victor a magical compass that will lead Victor to a mysterious mountain. Victor will find an iron gauntlet that will allow him to use the Mjolnir, the powerful hammer of Thor (Conan Stevens). 

Victor comes home to the Philippines and becomes Hammerman, the courageous superhero of his town. In his adventures, he battles monsters and form alliances with Norse gods in order to protect the people he loves from the schemes of Loki. 

The creative team of the TV series is composed of headwriter Denoy Punio with writers Glaiza Ramirez, Ken De Leon, brainstormers Marlon Miguel, Erwin Bravo and concept creator Jules Katanyag.

Leading the team are creative director Roy Iglesias, creative consultants Suzette Doctolero, and Dode Cruz.
