Hi! It's okay. I'll just message you if that's fine? Since there are still no official statements yet so saying things as if it's concrete is hard rn. Btw, to everyone else, hit me up as well if you want to know the gist of things if you are not informed yet.
And yes. It needs a trigger warning.
I built a small following in this blog through Gaya sa Pelikula, and this news about Juan Miguel Severo breaks me. Not because of the show's downfall but for Paolo Pangilinan. Words are failing me right now, but do know that I am on Paolo's side. I support him, love him. Show him your support too, if you can. He needs it. We all need it. And to everyone who's having a hard time regarding this news, do know that you can talk to me. Process this with me. Because believe me, I used to stand behind JMS. I believed in his works, his advocacies. And this is all disorienting to me. The betrayal I'm feeling is too much.
"There is a difference between appreciating the LGBTQ community for the entertainment value and respecting the LGBTQ community." - Ian Pangilinan
Reasons to love Ian and Paolo outside Gaya sa Pelikula? Their brain and advocacy 🥰 This is part of an exclusive interview conducted by a youth organization from Ian's alma mater. Full interview here if you want to watch. (Clip credit)
(So, here’s my attempt to an infomercial. Please read the following in the booming voice of some imaginary shopping channel guy.)
Are you a Gaya sa Pelikula Fan? Are you wishing to tell the people behind that masterpiece how it changed your fridays for nine weeks in these gruelling periods of lockdown? Are you hoping to show them the fanarts you made inspired by the show? Are you? Well, here’s your chance!
Inspired by @asianmelodrama and @thepurplemu24, I’m compiling fan messages and fanarts that’ll be printed into an A5 book and sent to its creator, casts, and director!
You can submit your messages and/or fanarts here, and trust that we will include it for Gege, Direk JP, and the Pangilinans to see!
So, what are you waiting for? An official Season 2 announcement? Pfft. Get in line, buddy! But for now, visit the link, write/draw your heart out, and let’s make this project a success!

👏👏👏
I hope that made sense 😆, but seriously, I’m still figuring out the rest of the logistics. For now, I’m aiming to collect at least 30 messages and fanarts to include in the print. The more the better, really. Everything’s in the initial stage so there is still no set end date for this project. The google form will be open until needed, so please share it with your friends who are also fans of the show.
This is exclusively posted in tumblr for now, btw. Everyone in the cast are active in twitter, and since I’m hoping to keep this project as a surprise for them, please refrain from posting about it in the bird app (if you have one). Y’know, keep it in your DMs, as they say.
And I’m not really sure if it’s proper to call it a fanbook. Google told me that it’s a bit different from what I’m trying to start here but I don’t really have a better word for a ‘compilation of fan messages printed out as a book’. I’m hoping the usage of the word was justified. 😅 If not, feel free to drop your suggestion or queries about another term and whatever whatnots about the project you have in my askbox!
what do you mean you haven't submitted a fan message yet? Eh?
CALLING ALL GAYA SA PELIKULA FANS!!!
So, it’s been 2 weeks since GSP ended (honestly feels like longer 😭) and after discovering Fall by Ben&Ben, I have a real need to make a Karl and Vlad fanvideo.
But Gaya sa Pelikula wasn’t just about Karl and Vlad, it was about taking back our story. So if I’m to make a Gaya sa Pelikula video, I need to make it about us, not just Karl and Vlad.
That’s where you come in!
I want to fill this video with messages from all of us!
Whether it’s a message you want to share based on your experiences, a quote you live by, what GSP means to you, or a message of thanks to the GSP team.
If you want to take part, please either DM me your message or leave it in the discussion within this post. Submissions will close on the 20th December.
Hi there! I really like your gifs, and so I was wondering if I could send a gif request? I’d love a Karl appreciation gifset, if you’d be willing! I love his character so much and I feel like he gets a tad less love than Vlad. Totally up to you, thanks and have a great day! Stay safe!
So. I dug my grave despite having no self control even though I’m worst at keeping up with the plan, because I decided to make your request a series of gifsets. I’m planning to make one Karl appreciation gifset for each episode and I just posted episode 1!
hiii thank you soso much for making the gege gif hehe i just saw it and don't worry, it wasn't late it was perfect!! it made me smile so hard you have no idea :''') thanks again, and have a lovely day :D 🧡🧡🧡

for the other requests, i’m working slowly thorugh them. i’m not ignoring them sorry. 🥰
hiiiii i saw your post about the gsp gifs, it'd be really nice if you made a gif of gege's cameo (unless you already have) thank you so much for all the gifs you've made 🧡🧡🧡

On a scale of 1 to nieyao, how bad was your divorce?
Also, I love Wen Zhuliu, he’s just like *sniffs drink and immediately figures out that it’s been tempered with to make everyone fall asleep* “¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I could use a nap” - very relatable of him
