Maja on projects, Impostor's Emmy nomination

By Glaiza Jarloc

Saturday, January 21, 2012 

KAPAMILYA actress Maja Salvador is thankful for all the blessings she received last year and happy with her new project this 2012.

Maja will topbill "Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin" with Jason Abalos and Patrick Garcia in the first salvo of the Precious Hearts Romances (PHR) series.

She said she's happy for the trust and confidence given by her mother station and really could not ask for more when it comes to television projects.

"Sobrang thankful ako kasi after Imposter, eh yung tiwala eh hindi nawala at na-excite sila na gumawa pa ng ibang PHR. Napakahalaga ng tiwala na yun na ibinigay nila sa akin."

To recall, Maja's last PHR series "Impostor" with Melai Cantiveros, Jason Francisco and Sam Milby was nominated in the International Emmy Awards last year.

The series went head to head with Argentina's "Contra las Cuerdas", Brazil's "Destiny River", and Portugal's "Lacos de Sangue" in the Telenovela category.

"Birthday ko nun at nasa US ako nung sinabi sa akin ni Direk Lauren (Dyogi) na nominated nga daw. Sobrang saya kasi minsan lang ito mangyari. Then pinag-usapan na namin kung ano yung susunod na PHR project."

Directed by Jerome Pabocan and Neal del Rosario, "Impostor" was also picked up in other countries and was shown in Russia and Ghana.

She reiterated that the country has a lot of talent when it comes to television and film productions, storytelling and music.

"Ang daming ibang bansa na pwedeng ma-nominate. Masasabi mo din talaga na iba gumawa ang mga Pilipino, iba tayong gumawa ng mga teleserye at mapapansin talaga.”

With this kind of recognition, Maja strives to give her best in all her projects, whether in television or movies, and will never disappoint the public.

Aside from "Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin", Maja and real life boyfriend Matteo Guidicelli will grace the big screen starting January 25 with Star Cinema's first movie this year entitled "My Cactus Heart." (Sunnex)

2011 has just started but Maja Salvador is already busy working on her new projects, including a movie with boyfriend Matteo Guidicelli, entitled My Cactus Heart and an upcoming afternoon soap opera,Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin. “First quarter po ipapalabas ‘yung bago kong soap with Jason Abalos at ang nagbabalik nating Kapamilya na si Mr. Patrick Garcia,” she revealed. “Magandang storya po siya ng pag-ibig na hindi lang tungkol sa pag-ibig. ‘Yung pastng mga magulang namin na pwede palang mangyari din ‘yon sa aming mga anak nila at kaya ba naming ipaglaban ‘yon kahit na mali na ‘yung pag-ibig.”

The last teleserye Maja did was the hit primetime show, Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin, where she played the love interest of Coco Martin’s character. Their team-up became hugely popular although it was not really the main plot of the show. Maja explained that it does not matter to her if she is the lead star of a project or not. To her, what is important is that she does her job well. “’Yung character ko do’n kahit papaano napansin ng mga tao, napamahal ‘yung characters namin ni Coco, somasaya ako.

“Tapos ‘yung Impostor kahit na panghapon siya, napansin siya internationally kaya sobrang maswerte.” Maja referred to the recognition awarded to her previous afternoon soap with Sam Milby, Melai Cantiveros, and Jason Francisco. Impostor was nominated for Best Telenovela at the International Emmy Awards last November 2011 and was given a gold medal, just like the other entries.

Maja added that as long as she is given a project, she is happy with it. “Hindi [ako] nagko-complain, masaya lang dapat,” she pointed out. “At least nabibigyan ka ng magandang proyekto at tamang proyekto. Nasa sa ‘yo lang po ‘yon kung pagagandahin mo ba, paghuhusayin mo ba para tumatak ‘yung character na gagawin mo. Basta magandang ang istorya at magandang gampanan, gagawin ko po.

Impostor is the lone Asian entry to the Best Telenovela category of the International Emmy Awards this year. ABS-CBN's defunct teleserye was topbilled by (top frame) Sam Milby and Maja Salvador as well as (bottom frame) Jason Francisco and Melai Cantiveros.

Before the winners of the International Emmy Awards were announced in New York, all of the entries were honored with a gold medal for being shortlisted in the prestigious competition.

ABS-CBN's defunct Precious Hearts Romances: Impostor is nominated in the Best Telenovela category.

Maja Salvador, Sam Milby, Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco are the lead stars of this teleserye inspired by a novel written by Martha Cecilia. It tells the story of a provincial lass who was forced to take the persona of a well-known model.

Jerome Pobocan and Neal del Rosario served as the directors of Impostor.

The lone Asian entry to the Best Telenovela category is competing against Argentina's Contra las Cuerdas, Brazil's Destiny River and Portugal's Lacos de Sangue.

The gala of the International Emmy Awards will be held on Monday night in New York (Tuesday morning in Manila).

According to Don Tagala of the ABS-CBN North America News Bureau, Rowena Benitez, the production manager of Impostor, received the medal in a ceremony held at Hotel Sofitel in Manhattan over the weekend.

Benitez was quoted as saying: "Sobrang honored because we made it to the cut. There were several judges, 800 judges for 67 countries, so its already a feat being nominated. Sobrang privileged and inspired that we can produce world-class dramas that can make it to the international market."

Bruce Praisner, president and CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts and Science, also told the said News Bureau: "This group, partly speaking, is the winner. Everybody can't win, but if you're a nominee in a competition around the world with a thousand nominations and you emerge from all of that, well in our book, you've won."
