Christian Bautista has four leading ladies in the music video of "Beautiful Girl"

Kung sa music video ng "Tell Me Your Name" ay si Paula Taylor ang nakapareha ni Christian Bautista, dapat sigurong mapanood ng fans ng popular balladeer ang bagong music video naman ng "Beautiful Girl." Mula pa rin sa bestselling album na Romance Revisited na nagtatampok sa mga awiting pinasikat ni Jose Mari Chan, sa bagong versions ni Christian, ang follow-up single na "Beautiful Girl" ay mas kaabang-abang.



Apat na naggagandahang dilag ang kasama ni Christian sa music video ng "Beautiful Girl." Very interesting nga ang istorya ng music video na makaka-date niya ang bawat isa kina Angel Locsin, Anne Curtis, Georgina Wilson, at Solenn Heusaff, pero sa bandang huli ay magsasama-sama sila to come up with a surprise.



Binisita ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang shooting ng music video na ito ni Christian kahapon, January 6, sa atrium ng Eastwood Mall.



Sumasabay ang bagong music video ng "Beautiful Girl" sa lalo pang paglakas ng album ni Christian, which has already reached the platinum mark. Kasama ang iba pang changes, gaya sa partisipasyon niya sa ASAP, na talagang marami ring surprises sa regular viewers nito.



"Pag nasa country kami nina Mark Bautista, Jed Madela, at Erik Santos, tiyak na may special number kaming magkakasama sa show," sabi ni Christian. "Maganda ang segment na ito dahil bosesan talaga.



"Marami pang inaasahang changes and surprises, pero this year, nasabi ko na nga na gusto kong bumalik sa acting. Naghahanap ako ng roles ngayon. Kinakausap ko ang mga direktor kung ano ang puwedeng maibigay sa akin. Matagal-tagal na kasi yung nagawa kong movie, yung Mano Po 5 (2006).



"Gusto kong bumalik uli sa acting, and willing to do workshops. Kakayanin ko siguro, kasi gusto kong makaganap ng bigger roles. Parang kulang na ako sa experience. Ngayon, mas singer ako kesa aktor. Kailangan kong humabol sa acting. Huhusay ka lang naman sa isang craft kung lagi mong ginagawa. Nararamdaman ko na kailangang makabalik ako sa akting para pagtiwalaan ako ng bigger roles," saad ng singer.



Puwedeng small roles muna ang ipagkatiwala sa kanya, pero sa katagalan, masanay siya to get bigger roles. Magandang move na rin itong ginagawa ni Christian sa music videos para sa goal niyang ito.



"Because of West Side Story sa theater kaya nagkainteres ako nang husto sa akting," ani Christian. "Kaya ko naman pala sa teatro, so okey lang siguro kung sa TV o pelikula naman. Na-miss ko'yung acting sa TV. Nakalabas ako noon sa Kampanerang Kuba. This time, gusto ko, seryosohan na, mas magaling."



Among the girls in the "Beautiful Girl" video, si Anne Curtis daw ang pinakamaganda para kay Christian.



"Biased kasi ako d'yan, matagal ko na kasing kakilala si Anne," paliwanag ni Christian. "Lahat naman kasi sila, talagang magaganda. Iba't ibang klase ng beauty nila. Mas matagal ko lang kasing nakasama si Anne.



"Isa lang ako sa pumili sa kanilang apat para sa video. Kasama yung managers ko, at yung people from Universal Records. Maraming factors na kinonsider, kasi nariyan yung availability...



"For this video, upgraded and more modern version ito ng music video na ginawa ni Jose Mari Chan noon. Mas marami nga yung kay Jose Mari Chan. Nandun sina Sharon Cuneta, Sheryl Cruz, Vilma Santos.... matitindi! Sa akin, thankful na ako na nakasama ko sa video sina Angel, Anne, Solenn, and Georgina."



Balanse naman kasi ang choices dahil mas masa sina Anne at Angel. Si Angel nga ay nakasama rin ni Christian sa Mano Po 5 noon.



"And we have two top-of-the-line models, sina Solenn at Georgina. May representative lahat. Perfect!" sambit ni Christian.

The Last Prince will enchant GMA-7 viewers starting January 11

GMA-7 prides itself in bringing to primetime viewing the kingdom of winged creatures in Mulawin, the power of the original Philippine heroine in Darna, the enchanting world of diwatas in Encantadia, the tale fantasy and magic charms in Majika the realm of half-serpentine mortals in Kamandag and the supernatural domain of mythical beings and engkantos in Luna Mystika.



To celebrate its yearlong anniversary this 2010, the Kapuso Network opens the gates of a magical kingdom located in the clouds and introduces Filipino viewers to the The Last Prince.





Leading the grand ensemble of cast is the tandem of Aljur Abrenica and Kris Bernal as Prinsipe Almiro and Lara, respectively.



Adding star power to this big-budgeted program are cast members such as Eula Valdes as Adela, Carmina Villaroel as Reyna Lamara, Angelu de Leon as Mayang, Chanda Romero as Rosata, Emilio Garcia as Adorno, Benjie Paras as Rizayo, Bianca King as Bawana, Chynna Ortaleza as Lourdes, Paolo Ballesteros as Anexi, Karen delos Reyes as Minnie, Elvis Gutierrez as Guwarko, Bubbles Paraiso as Prinsesa Saraya, Joey Paras as Salim Salamin, Stef Prescott as Naveya, Francis Magundayao as Onuro, Rita Iringan as Gigi and Angeli Nicole Sanoy as Bambi.



Making the initial GMA Telebabad offering even grander is the presence of Geoff Eigenmann and Carla Abellana. They play the important characters of Prinsipe Javino, the rightful heir to the throne and Sonia, the veterinarian who will fall in love with Prinsipe Javino.



The Last Prince also marks the TV comeback of one of the most famous kontrabidas on Philippine television, Princess Punzalan, as she plays the coveted role of Alwana.



The Last Prince tells the fairy tale story of a kingdom in the clouds called Paladino. This magical realm is headed by the noble King Adorno and his beautiful wife Queen Lamara with their three children Prinsesa Saraya, Prinsipe Javino, and Prinsipe Almiro.



The peaceful and perfect life in Paladino is suddenly threatened when Prince Javino went missing. His disappearance is orchestrated by the most powerful and wicked black Diwani named Alwana. Diwanis are the powerful wizards in the kingdom.



Using her black magic and sorcery, Alwana pushes Prince Javino towards the magic mirror, transporting him to the earthly world. She wants him to fall in love with a mortal so she could claim the throne and take over Paladino.



But an unexpected tragedy shatters the mirror and Prince Javino is permanently trapped on earth. The entire kingdom is devastated by news that the Prince is dead. There is instant confusion and disarray in Paladino.



This incident changes the life of the mischievous Prince Almiro. King Adorno immediately declares him successor to the throne, the next king of Paladino.



But Prince Almiro is not yet ready to become a king. So the head Diwani Rizayo suggests he gets married. All the maidens in the kingdom were called so Prince Almiro could choose his lucky bride.



Once of those who came is Bawana, the daughter of Alwana. Because of her hideous face, Alwana uses her magic to make Bawana look beautiful. But Prince Almiro discovers their deception and he sends her away.



Bawana is enraged so she puts a curse on Prince Almiro. His face becomes distorted and only true love could break the curse.



So Prince Almiro, together with his three loyal allies Rosata, Onuro, Anexi, sets off to the mortal world to fulfill his mission. But Bawana gives him only three chances to find his woman.



By means of Bawana's curse, they were trapped in a magical mansion and once inside, Prince Almiro's warped face disappears but once outside, his cursed face is revealed.



On his third and final attempt, Prince Almiro meets Lara. Despite his horrible face, the kind-hearted and simple Lara falls in love with him.



Can Lara's kiss finally break Bawana's curse on Prince Almiro?



It turns out that Prince Javino is still alive and suffers from the new spell of Bawana. Can the two brothers destroy the evil Alwana and her daughter Bawana? Will Prince Almiro give up the throne for his love Lara? Will the peace and order return in the Kingdom of Paladino?

The Last Prince is megged by Mac Alejandre, seasoned headwriter Rj Nuevas, set designer Richard Somes, who won in the recently-concluded Metro Manila Film Festival 2009 as Best Festival Production Designer for Ang Panday and Roy Red as production designer. The fabulous costumes were made by fashion designer Jerome Ang, who represented the Philippines in various international fashion design competitions and Aries Lagat, the grand winner in Project Runway Philippines Season 1.



Enter the magical kingdom of Paladino through The Last Prince beginning Monday, January 11, right after Darna on GMA Telebabad.
