AZ Martinez revealed in "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Wednesday that she has not been in contact with her ex-boyfriend, Larkin Castor, ever since she got out of Bahay ni Kuya. "Hindi na po kami nag-usap and right now focus talaga on what's ahead of me, but I wish him all the best talaga," she said. Tito Boy then brought up the letter that Larkin wrote for AZ while she was a housemate in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," adding that he was hoping she and Larkin would have the chance to talk after the show. AZ, for her part, admitted that she is not ready to speak to him. "Honestly, Tito Boy as of now, I'm not ready yet to talk, I wanna focus muna on... Like I'm not ready to talk to him, but I want to focus more on myself and career," she said. In Larkin's letter, he told AZ how proud he was of her and that he was watching her journey in "PBB." He also told her that he has not given up waiting for her, that she should be happy, and that he loves her. Days later, AZ wrote him a letter in response, telling him that she is finally letting him go. "Kung gusto niya pa rin maghintay Kuya, that's his choice na. Pero ayoko na po siya kontrolin, ayoko na siya pilitin, ayoko na siya habulin or guluhin pa Kuya. Kasi alam ko mas masasaktan, mas masisira lang siya if I leave him hanging," AZ had told Kuya in the confession room. AZ and her Kapamilya duo River Joseph ended their "PBB" journey as the fourth big placers. Following her stint in the show, AZ made her return to music school. She is also set to appear in "Bubble Gang" soon. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

JC Alcantara hails Barbie Forteza after ‘P77' collab, hopes to work again with actress
JC Alcantara openly expressed his profound admiration and gratitude for his co-star Barbie Forteza, describing their experience working together on the upcoming film 'P77' as nothing short of a dream job. At the media conference for the horror movie on Tuesday, JC revealed that his admiration for the Kapuso Primetime Princess dates back over a decade. 'Isang karangalan din makatrabaho si Barbie. I'm a fan since 2011,' he said. 'Bata pa lang ako, pinapanood ko na siya. And sobrang grateful ko din. Thankful kasi alam niyo po, sa dinami-daming artista, ako 'yung nabigyan ng chance. Salamat po sa inyo.' The Kapamilya actor admitted to having initial nerves when starting on the project. 'Kinakabahan. Tapos Barbie Forteza pa, ang pangarap kong maka-trabaho,' he said. JC recognized the need to overcome this apprehension to effectively portray his character, Theo, whom he described as a 'mysterious guy from P77.' 'Kailangan hindi ka magpatalo ng kaba kasi horror 'to. So kailangan, matakot ko pa rin siya. Kailangan maparamdam ko pa rin sa kaniya na nandito ako sa character na ito,' he said. His initial jitters quickly gave way to a deeply positive working relationship, with JC finding Barbie to be an absolute joy to work with, even emphasizing her kindness and dedication. 'Sobrang saya katrabaho, sobrang bait, sobrang—makikita mo siya, dedikado siya sa trabaho niya. Nagbabasa siya ng script, nando'n lang siya sa gilid. Ang saya palang katrabaho niya. Ang warm lang,' he said. JC also lauded Barbie's interpersonal skills on set. 'Lahat na nasa paligid talagang bibigyan niya ng pansin kaya ang saya. Sana hindi pa 'to 'yung last,' he added. "P77" is directed by Derick Cabrido, the filmmaker behind the Metro Manila Film Festival 2023 entry "Mallari," and produced by GMA Pictures and Clever Minds Inc. It is written by Enrico Santos, and the story is by Anj Atienza and Xtian Julao. It is coming to cinemas on July 30. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
