Viva Films and N2 Productions bring to the big screen “Luck At First Sight,” a Joyce Bernal production that pairs off Jericho Rosales and Bela Padilla for the first time.
Interestingly, Bela also wrote the story.
“Nasa kotse ako, nakikinig ng conversation ng DJs sa radio. Tapos, naisip ko ’yung title, du’n nabuo ang story. Tungkol siya sa dalawang tao na sinuswerte kapag may physical touch sila,” she said.
“Luck At First Sight” comes on the heels of the production team’s previous box-office hit “Camp Sawi.” Director is Dan Villegas whose successful films include “#WalangForever” and “Always Be My Maybe.”
“Nu’ng nag-iisip na kami kung sino ang kukuning direktor, sabi namin, dapat si Direk Dan ito,” said Bela. “Sobrang galing kasi niya, sobrang ganda ng shots saka gusto naming ma-touch din ang point of view ng lalaki sa pelikula.”
As for Direk Dan, working on “Luck At First Sight” got him excited.
“Ang difference nito sa mga nagawa ko na, ’yung dati, rooted on reality, kung ano ang nangyayari sa totoong buhay. Kaya na-excite ako rito kasi may magic element, ‘di realistic. Medyo hyper realistic siya, magical, fantastic,” he said.
In the movie, Jericho is Joma Labayen, a down-on-his-luck guy who believes a “life charm” could help make for him a rosy existence. By some stroke of fate, he meets Diane dela Cruz (Bela), who he thinks has what he is looking for.
Diane, however, is no sucker for stories of luck, let alone life charms. She is a firm believer of love and how romance sheds light, beauty and happiness on one’s being. Their partnership proves lucky enough until they discover that choosing between luck and love can be a tough pick.
Echo, like Bela, is totally happy with and committed to the project. Though “Luck At First Sight” is their first as a tandem, he said that from the start, they agreed “ito ang pinakamagandang movie na gagawin namin together.”
“Luck At First Sight” opens in theaters on May 3.

GMA Network’s “Destined To Be Yours” continues to keep viewers hooked on the romantic story of Benjie (Alden Richards) and Sinag (Maine Mendoza).
Based on AGB Nielsen Media Research Philippines Television Audience Measurement (TVAM)’s National Urban Philippines people data, the show registered an average rating of 10.7% from April 3 – 19 (April 9-19 based on overnights) beating its counterpart show which only got 9.8%.
Fans swooned over the latest episodes wherein Benjie and Sinag finally made peace and are on their way to becoming friends again. Benjie attends the radio station’s company outing and joins games where both he and Sinag are forced to be close to one another. Trish (Thea Tolentino) arrives and sees the two of them together, then finds out from Tala that Sinag was Sunshine all along – a revelation that infuriates her.
Moreover, Catalina (Ina Feleo) isn’t done trying to sabotage Benjie’s career at their architectural firm. She sets up Benjie to make it seem that he accepted dirty money from the project they were working on.
“Destined To Be Yours” airs weeknights 8:30 p.m. on GMA Telebabad.
