This November, find out the secret ingredients to a healthy relationship in the film Recipe For Love, Regal Entertainment, Inc.’s, latest offering that stars multi-awarded actor Christian and Pinoy Big Brother Lucky 7 ex-housemate Cora Waddell.

It can be recalled that Christian garnered numerous awards because of his role as Barbs, the trans cross-dresser in the 2016 critically-acclaimed film Die Beautiful.

For the said role, Christian bagged the Best Support Actor trophy at the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival, Best Supporting actor award at the 40th Gawad Urian, and the Best Supporting Actor award at the 35th Film Academy of the Philippines Luna Awards.

Most recently, Christian was awarded the Best Main Actor at the 2018 Hanoi International Film Festival for his moving performance in the film Signal Rock.

Currently, Christian is also part of the most-talked about ABS-CBN prime-time teleserye Halik.

He is also proud to be working with highly respected film directors.

For his first major role on television, Christian worked with the late Maryo J. delos Reyes before he passed away in an episode of Magpakailanman. He beams with pride to have worked with Direk Chito Rono for the critically-acclaimed film Signal Rock.

He feels lucky to work with Direk Jose Javier Reyes  for Recipe For Love.

“Ang sarap sa pakiramdam,” he said about working with these respected directors.

“They will let me fly as an actor na hindi na work na ginagawa mo.

 “Para akong naglalaro na lang sa set kasi sobrang tiwala nila sa gagawin ko don sa character ko kung paano ko siya isasabuhay.”

He described his working relationship with Direk Joey in this movie as “collaborative.”

He also takes pride about the lesson of the movie for viewers about relationships.

“Bago mo suungin ang isang bagay dapat sigurado ka.

“Ngayon uso sa millennials magkulitan tayo, pakasal aagad, bubuo agad ng bata.

“Mabilis masyadong mabilis ang decision-making ng millennials. Nakakapaso.

“Ang isang relasyon, ang kasal hindi yan kanin na pag isinubo pag napaso iluluwa mo.

“Mahirap siya. Bago mo suungin ang isang relasyon, dapat sigurado kayo sa isat-isa,” Christian explained.  

This time, Christian finally gets to top-bill in his own romantic comedy movie.

Christian explained that comedy is close to his heart because he is naturally a comedian.

“Hindi malayo sa akin. I must say yung sense of humor ko malakas din naman talaga. Mahilig akong magpatawa sa mga kapatid ko, sa mga kaibigan.

“Hindi naman ako nangapa sa pagbitaw ng punchlines. It’s something that’s part of me,” he added.

To make his portrayal convincing, Christian said that he paralleled his personality with his character.

He explained that this helped him make his portrayal appear natural. 

“Ang sarili kong process, ipa-parallel ko ang sarili sa character ko sa pelikula. Hinanapan ko ng common ground.

He said that he studied his character, and just like in any role that he portrays, Christian said that he gives his heart. “Nilagyan ko siya ng ng puso gaya sa lahat ng character na ginagawa ko, mapa-drama, mapa-comedy.”

Directed under the helm of the talented director Jose Javier Reyes, Recipe for Love explores how rich and colorful love is between two people. One minute it allows you to experience cloud nine and then it brings you to the pit of sorrow the next minute.

It shows us that love is not just one emotion but an experience of different feelings.

Nonetheless, it is what makes the whole experience worthwhile.

Recipe For Love tells the story of Calix, the chef of an upscale Filipino restaurant, who crosses path with Val, a food blogger and aspiring magazine editor.

While Calix and Val start off on the wrong foot, they eventually hit it off and romance starts to brew.

Eventually, just like the dishes that they cook and review, Calix and Val discover the different tastes of being in a relationship, such as its bitterness and sweetness. But will they still be able to come up with the perfect recipe for love so that they will stay together?





Cora Waddell dishes out what she thinks is the true recipe for love based on her own personal experience.

Coraleen became a household name when she became a housemate in Pinoy Big Brother Lucky 7 in 2016.

She eventually entered showbiz and appeared in ABS-CBN shows.

Cora finally gets her big movie break by being one of the lead stars of Recipe For Love, the upcoming romantic-comedy under Regal Entertainment, Inc.

She stars opposite multi-awarded actor Christian Bables.

Asked how she feels about finally getting a starring role, she beamed, “Sobrang exciting, syempre naman, na mabigyan ka ng chance na ipakita kung kaya mo.

“And maswerte ako na yung leading man ko ay si Christian. Very experienced siya. Sobrang seryoso siya sa craft niya, kaya ako yung swerte don. So he helped me a lot,” she said.

Recipe For Love tells the story of Calix (Christian), the chef of an upscale Filipino restaurant, who crosses path with Val (Cora), a food blogger and aspiring magazine editor.

While Calix and Val start off on the wrong foot, they eventually hit it off and romance starts to brew.

Eventually, just like the dishes that they cook and review, Calix and Val discover the different tastes of being in a relationship, such as its bitterness and sweetness.

Being entirely opposites, will their relationship still have a happy ending?

Cora, who recently tied the knot, firmly believes that two opposite people can still make a relationship work, based on her own experience.

“My parents are total opposites. My husband is also my opposite,” she revealed.

“Syempre, we also have things in common, but I think being very, very different can be inspiring for other people, not just looking for love, but it’s inspiring for yourself. Kasi, you’ll never stop learning.”

She explained that when two people in a relationship are different, they can learn a lot from each other.

“Being with someone totally different from yourself can show you a different perspective na hindi mo talaga makukuha kung pareho kayo ng ugali.”

The actress also answered when asked what she thinks is the recipe for love.

“Unang-una, masasabi ko, don’t be hungry. Stay well fed,” she said followed with a hearty laugh.

“Because pag gutom ka, mas mahirap talaga, kahit anong away yan kung gutom ka, it will get worse if you’re hungry. Don’t tackle your problems on an empty stomach.”

She added, “Syempre, patience and unconditional love. Yun lang talaga ang importante: kahit ano man ang mangyari, you guys are a team and you’ll stay together, you eat together, you sleep together, you and you’re in this together.”

Groove back to the decades of golden music of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s in a concert driven by nostalgia and one that will tickle the funny bones. See the Philippines’ premier vocal ensemble on stage with a class act comedian in “Throwback with The Company and Jon Santos” on December 1, 2018 at The Theatre at Solaire.

Starting out as an out-of-college regroup, The Company has evolved in their 3 decades in the music industry. From singing the traditional genres, they decided to move to acapella and vocal jazz as a new challenge to themselves and for the novelty of the pieces. Living to its namesake, The Company reinvented their identities while maintaining the bond that they have developed in the years prior their success. The release of their singles “Everlasting Love”, “Muntik na Kitang Minahal” and the popular love song “Now That I Have You” which is often used as movie theme songs, or in wedding halls, have seemingly immortalized their names. The original members apart from Moy Ortiz, have moved on to pursue the next chapters of their lives but not without passing on the torch to their successors whom have kept their legacy alive and very much felt today.

A stark contrast to the steady melody of songs comes Jon Santos, a powerhouse comedian famous for his impersonations that imprint themselves into the mind. His satirical impressions of the country’s most prominent political personas are complemented by his quick wit, allowing such a seemingly hilarious number to become the controversial stirrer of important conversations. He has transformed himself to the likes of Former President Joseph Estrada, Sen. Miriam Santiago (+), and Batangas Governor Vilma Santos who he admits, is his favorite. Although he became known for his comedic prowess, Jon was able to establish his credibility as a theatre performer who can add more spunk to any character he portrays. He has performed as lead in “Priscilla Queen of the Desert”, and more recently, “Rak of Aegis”.

The Theatre at Solaire’s advocacy of bringing Original Pilipino Music (OPM) under the limelight means offering acts that the audience demands, but also presents ingenious collaborations. “This unexpected tandem will highlight another layer of OPM that goes beyond the tunes, lyrics and voices. The Company and Jon Santos together on one stage merges what the Filipinos love most – good music and witty comedy. You will witness a new wave of theatrics that’s as exciting but with more spontaneity and humorous reality jabs.” says Audie Gemora, Solaire’s Director for Entertainment.

With The Company’s vocals injected with Jon’s brand of comedy, expect a night filled with throwbacks with the best “retro” beats that will make you dance, laugh and remember the heydays of the past,

In Hintayan ng Langit, Lisang has overstayed in her waiting room in purgatory, occasionally causing other souls trouble for her own entertainment. But today her waiting ends. Finally, she is set to cross over and her room is to be leased to a new tenant, Manolo, who turns out to be her newly-deceased ex-boyfriend. But life—or death—takes a heartbreaking turn as Lisang and Manolo get a second chance to get to know each other again and, in the process, begin to realize what it really means to be “alive” again.
