ISANG asawa at ama sa tunay na buhay, tinanong namin si Zanjoe Marudo kung paano niya nai-connect o nai-relate si Zanjoe kay Arsenio na papel niya sa pelikulang “How To Get Away From My Toxic Family”.
“Parehas kami pangatlo. Parehas kaming middle child. May ate rin ako, may kuya rin ako, iyon yung mga medyo parehas.
“Siguro kay Arsenio, hindi naman ganun kasi yung sitwasyon sa pamilya namin. Pero excited akong gawin siya, yung ganung klaseng sitwasyon sa pamilya, kasi hindi naman bago sa akin yun, di ba?
“Kahit papaano, naririnig mo sa community mo, at sa trabaho mo. Di lang naman sa bahay ang pagiging toxic na ano e, marami, sa school, sa lahat ng lugar, so ano ba?
“Nag-enjoy lang ako e, kasi bago siya sa akin. Gusto kong ma-experience mapunta sa ganung klaseng sitwasyon.
“Ano kayang mararamdaman mo kung yung pamilya mo ganito? Kaya naging exciting sa akin. Naging challenging din and nakakatuwa na ayun, nabigyan ako ng ganitong pagkakataon para i-portray si Arsenio na sana, sana naman maraming gumaya sa kanya na piliin din yung sarili niya pagdating ng araw.”
Mula sa OgieD Productions ni Ogie Diaz at ng KreativDen Entertainment showing ang pelikula, kung saan artista rin sina Susan Africa, Nonie Buencamino, Richard Quan at marami pang iba, sa mga SM cinemas sa July 30, sa direksyon ni Lawrence Fajardo.

FROM.Garage to Global Stage: First Filipino-Owned Dance Studio in NZ to Represent Aotearoa in Europe.
What started in a humble garage in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2021 is now making history. Euphoria Dance Studio, the first Filipino-owned and community-led dance studio in New Zealand, has officially qualified to represent New Zealand at the Hip Hop Unite World Championships in Prague, Czech Republic this October.
With most of their students having no prior dance background, this passionate group of young dancers—90% of whom are Filipino—have worked tirelessly for years, training after school and on weekends to pursue their shared dream.
Their dedication paid off as they recently clinched 1st place at Hip Hop Unite New Zealand, earning them a spot on the world stage. Just last weekend, they also dominated at the Australian Dance Crew Championships (ADCC) in Christchurch winning 1st place in the Open Division and 1st place in the Monster Crew Division, securing another opportunity to represent New Zealand—this time in Australia. Now, they’re raising funds to make these once-in-a-lifetime journeys possible. If you’d like to support or sponsor this inspiring team of dancers, please reach out through: edstudio2021@gmail.com Instagram: @euphoria.dance.studio.
Let’s help them bring Filipino pride to the world stage—and prove that with heart, hard work, and community, anything is possible.
