It’s final.
The second film partnership of box-office stars Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards may well be in the pre-production stage already as there is already a working title to it, “Hello, Love Again.”
To top it all, a press conference was recently held and it was announced that GMA Films and Star Cinema are venturing into a co-production arrangement to relaunch the undisputed blockbuster performances of Kathryn and Alden.
The mutual agreement of Bernardo and former boyfriend Daniel Padilla to end their more than one decade of romance paved the most opportune way to re-team Kath and Alden on the big screen, thus, the portmanteau KathDen was easily coined replacing the famed KathNiel duo.
A series of personal meetings between Bernardo and Richards occurred which gauged not only their commercial combination on a film project but also the personal magic that they probably could exude like flaming up romance due to insistent demand by the adoring public.
“Bagay sila (They’re matched),” exclaimed iconic fashion designer Albert Figueras.
Albert is just one of the many who are saying KathDen is a love team made in heaven.
So inspiring that the cameras of “Hello, Love Again” are ready to roll anytime under Cathy Garcia-Sampana’s helm.
On their part as major stakeholders of the movie, Kath and Alden know how to keep the interest of the public glued on them not only by their charm but the playfulness they exude whenever they’re together.
That is called keeping the flame alive, reel or real love.
This will surely add more color, enthusiasm and dimension to the success of the project to, at least, if not equal the earnings of “Hello, Love, Goodbye” surpass it.
If we abide by the rule and meaning of how politics works in the firmament of the make-believe world vis-à-vis the quotidian, this is the other meaning of politics aside being art and science of governance from the Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (Tenth Edition): “…the total complex of relations between people living in society…”
It is because politicalizing show business has been here since time immemorial.
That is a fact that we have to contend with.
Since the silent era, tainting showbiz with politics has been a reality.
From the Father of Philippine cinema Jose Nepomuceno and Vicente Salumbides to Daniel Padilla, they have been involved in politics, two of them in the sideline, Nepomuceno and Padilla while Salumbides was a 1935 Constitutional Convention delegate and a mayor of Lopez town in Quezon Province during the Japanese occupation.
All of them, in one way or the other, have had engagements in power relations at any given time.
Politicking this time is highlighted when Daniel joins the "Pagkakaisa" concert for Bagong Pilipinas which will kick off in Davao del Norte on June 7, 2024.

It is a known fact that Daniel's mom Karla Estrada is a Marcos follower.
Happy days are here again.
