Hindi na makakasama si Jericho Rosales sa teleseryeng Against All Odds katulad ng napabalita kamakailan. Pinalitan na raw ng ibang aktor na gaganap sa role na dapat ay kay Jericho. May bulung-bulungan na billing issue ang dahilan kaya hindi na tinanggap ni Jericho ang nasabing proyekto. Nilinaw naman kaagad ni Sam Milby na isa sa mga bida ng serye ang nasabing isyu.

“Si John Estrada na ang kasama. Last year pa kasama na si John sa original cast. ’Yung role na ’yan kay John Estrada ’tapos nagkaroon ng A Beautiful Affair kaya ’di niya puwedeng gawin ’yung Against All Odds. Eh dahil tumigil na kami sa taping at that time, natapos na ’yung A Beautiful Affair.

“Dapat nga si Jericho ang naging kasama sa teleserye. I don’t know what actually happened with that. Ayun, tapos na taping ng A Beautiful Affair, si Echo ’di na kasama at si John Estrada na ulit,” kuwento ni Sam.

Samantala, pinaghandaan talaga ng aktor ang muli nilang pagti-taping para sa nasabing soap opera. Nag-hire pa raw si Sam ng tutor para sa kanyang pagsasalita ng wikang Pilipino.

“Happy ako na kahit paano tumigil ang taping namin sa Against All Odds tapos nag-start kami sa Kahit Konting Pagtingin kasi nag-improve Tagalog ko. Noong nag-start kasi kaming mag-taping last year, ’di ako masyado nag-aral noong time na ’yun. Ngayon todo na pag-aaral ko sa Tagalog. May tutor na ako, she’s a dubbing director. So ngayon unti-unti na akong gumagaling pero siyempre may times na talagang nahirapan ako dahil sa accent ko. But the important thing is nag-i-improve ako,” pagbabahagi ng binata.

Umaasa rin si Sam na sana ay mapansin ng kanyang leading lady na si Judy Ann Santos ang pagiging matatas na niya sa Tagalog.

Against All Odds resumes shooting Juday, Sam Milby remain lead actors; Sevilla replaced as director

Now that the business unit of ABS-CBN for the series ‘Against All Odds’ has resumed taping and location shooting, it’s pretty obvious who have been replaced by whom in the cast.

But TV insiders said these replacements, which included even the original director, Malu Sevilla, are due to the stars’ busy schedules and have nothing to do with their acting talent or behaviour on the set.

Sevilla, who is now holding the reins for the fantasy series ‘Juan de la Cruz’, starring Coco Martin, was replaced by Jerry Sineneng and Toots Mariscal.

John Estrada, meanwhile, has replaced Jericho Rosales, who declined to be part of the new TV series, as he would be doing a movie in Indonesia. Estrada has clarified, however, that he was really part of the original cast, but begged off for a few months as he was then finishing another TV series, ‘A Beautiful Affair’.

The lead performers Judy Ann Santos and Sam Milby are still in ‘Against All Odds’, a dark melodrama involving women fighting adversity in life and marriage. The series is due to air this first quarter.

It was because of Santos’s busy schedule that the taping of ‘Against All Odds’ has incurred delay. Santos, more popularly known as Juday, was then hosting the just concluded reality show, ‘Pinoy Master Chef’.

Sevilla, who remains director of ‘Toda Max’, has already done some episodes for ‘Against All Odds’, which, according to insiders, are all very good.

Shown every Saturday, ‘Toda Max’ is a comedy series starring Robin Padilla, Vhong Navarro, Pokwang and Angel Locsin.

Band vocalist JR Royol took home P1 M, a kitchen showcase and a culinary scholarship for becoming the first Pinoy MasterChef in a final live cook-off held at the SM Skydome on Saturday, February 9.

His winning dish, the Bigorot,or three-way cooked chicken, earned a total of 96.1 points from the panel of judge composed of Ferns Aracama, Rolando Laudico, Jayps Anglo, host Judy Ann Santos and celebrity guest judges Kris Aquino and Richard Gomez.

Kris described JR’s fusion of Bicolano and Igorot chicken cuisine as "perfection."

Entrepreneur Carla Marcaida, who prepared adobong tuna and kaning dilaw, placed second, with a score of 93.9 points.

Ivory Yat’s Palabok Finale dish ranked third with 93 points.

Myra Santos, who was eliminated in the last challenge before the final round, placed fourth. Her coconut sambal and rice and turones de buco failed to impress the chef judges.

MANILA, Philippines – Actor Jericho Rosales admitted that he felt bad that he needed to back out of his supposed project with actress Judy Ann Santos and KC Concepcion.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Tuesday, Rosales cited conflicts in schedule as the reason he won’t be part of the upcoming television series anymore.
“Wala namang tampo tampo or anything but the management spoke to the production team and they said they totally understand. I’m a little bit sad siyempre kasi feeling ko na-let down ko sila. They are expecting na kasali na ako pero biglang hindi na,” he said,
While he will no longer be part of the cast, Rosales said he wishes the show well.
“I'm sure it will be a hit and they look like masasayang magkakasama naman. Maybe [I can work with them again] on the next soap,” he said.
For now, Rosales is looking forward to doing his international project which will be shot in Malaysia, in the Philippines and some parts of Europe.
“It's a TV series na ipapalabas sa Malaysia. We got the offer last year, and the guys from the network there came over para makipag-meeting sa amin. We said yes. Exciting siya,” he said.
He is supposed to be paired with actress Kristine Hermosa in the project but Rosales said he is not sure if the actress already accepted it.
Asked if he will be gone for a long time because of this project, Rosales said: “Siguro. Hindi ko pa masasabi. 'Yung schedule kasi nila the least a couple of months. Pero maganda ang schedule nila eh so okay naman.”
“Nothing is final final final but the offer is there, the guys went here and then we talked about schedule and stuff,” he added.
Meanwhile, the actor clarified that this international project was not the reason he backed out of his supposed series with Santos and Concepcion.
“Hindi naman. Nagkataon lang kasi na-delay din ng na-delay 'yung soap. Gusto ko sana talagang gawin but we were supposed to start November last year – no earlier than that pa because I remember accepting the project August or September and then na-delay ng konti because of schedule issues so hindi ko na... I didn't choose something over something,” he explained.
