GMA Artist Center stars reap awards and nominations

GMA 7’s Artist Center continues to ascertain its position as the premier talent development and management arm of the network with the various honors and accolades given to its homegrown talents from three award-giving bodies this year.

Leading the roster of winners is fast-rising Kapuso star Kim Rodriguez who received her first acting award as the New Movie Actress of the Year at the 29th PMPC Star Awards for Movies last March 10 at the AFP Theater. Kim was recognized for her performance in the indie film Mga Mumunting Lihim. Aside from Party Pilipinas, Kim presently headlines the Afternoon Prime series, Kakambal ni Eliana.

Kristoffer Martin supports ‘friend’ Joyce Ching’s transition to more daring roles

Several weeks ago, kapuso teen actress Joyce Ching shocked viewers when she agreed to do a daring role in an episode of the drama anthology program “Magpakailanman” entitled “Pakawalang Anghel.” While the episode’s high ratings could mean that Joyce’s fans are now ready to accept the actress’ new image, could it also mean that it’s alright with Joyce’s rumored boyfriend, teen actor Kristoffer Martin?

In an interview with Kristoffer on the set of the primetime series, “Pahiram ng Sandali” where he stars, the young actor said that although he had reservations when Joyce informed him about the role, he did not try to convince her to reconsider her decision.  In fact, he said, he assured her of his all-out support.
