Sana lang, we won't lose our viewers now na medyo late na kami."

Movies, Hosting, Album; Coming to Carla Abellana's Way

Carla Abellana just can't believe the blessings are coming to her career at this early stage. While her debut soap opera is strongly gaining grounds in TV ratings, movie projects, hosting projects and an album literally lined-up for her young showbiz career.

She currently co-hosts in SOP Rules and there is a talk she is going to co-host in the fifth season of StarStruck which is going to start this coming November. Carla will be hosting the reality show with hunks Dingdong Dantes and Raymond Gutierrez.

As contract star of Regal Films, Carla Abellana is going to appear in "Nieves The Engkanto Slayer" together with Marian Rivera which is an entry for the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival. Then her first movie "Ang Nanay Kong Aswang" is also slated this year.

"Mano Po 6", which is also a 2009 MMFF entry, is also lined-up for her which is a big challenge for her since she will be portraying opposite Megastar Sharon Cuneta and hunk Dennis Trillo.

About her album, it is under Universal Records which Carla admitted she is very excited about it.

"They are already preparing songs for the album. We've been attending meetings. My first movie under Regal Films, we'll start taping next month. Hindi pa final e, ang dami pa naming pinag-uusapan. Under negotiation pa ang maraming bagay pero I'm excited about it." Carla said.

Marian Rivera vs Carla Abellana in the Making?

When Carla Abellana was just starting in showbiz, many were saying that she will be the next Marian Rivera or even surpass the popularity Marian had. There were comparisons too and what was remarkable in the comparisons was Carla was an honor student in college while Marian isn't.

Another is Marian's attitude. She is known as "maldita" to the press and to her co-workers and even to some of her fans. It was even video taped when Marian's tantrum broke out during one of her tapings. Carla is know to be silent and behaved and goes well with her co-workers and fans.

But when the two celebrities come face-to-face in one showbiz event and interviewed by press, both said there is no competition going on between them.

But lately, a showbiz column reported Marian is doing otherwise. It reported that in one showbiz event where the two were both guests, Marian refused to share her dressing room with Carla because she wants the room exclusive for her.

Then in a taping of "Darna", Marian came late and when she arrived she was heard saying "dumating na ang reyna na walang bulaklak sa tenga" which reallyh stunned those who heard it. She was referring to Carla who always has a flower in her ear for her role in her top rating soap "Rosalinda".

Is Marian buying a war? Maybe not, it's just Marian doing her "maldita" way.

Carla Abellana Debuts in the Big Screen with "Ang Nanay Kong Aswang"

CARLA ABELLANA will finally debut in the big screen. This developed after everything has been finalized in her first movie starrer with Regal Entertainment titled "Ang Nanay kong Aswang".

With Carla's primetime Tv soap "Rosalinda" climbing up the TV chart ladder, Regal has decided to initiate Carla's launching movie. As they said, "Strike while the iron is hot".

The said project was originally intended for Ai-Ai delas Alas and Eugene Domingo but for some personal reasons, the two could not commit on the movie.

The movie is about the adventures of a mother and daughter "aswangs" where Carla is portraying the role of the daughter. As of this writing, there is no final decision yet who will portray the role of the mother although Anabelle Rama is highly regarded.

Carla Abellana's Rosalinda Starts To Climb The Chart Ladder

CARLA ABELLANA, Geoff Eigenmann and the other cast of "Rosalinda" can now at least take a sigh of relief. After the show's lackluster debut last Monday, after it only generated 26.3 and placed 6th overall in primetime, it is now slowly climbing in the TV ratings chart.

In it's Tuesday and Wednesday showing, "Rosalinda" posted 28.9% and climbed to the no. 3 spot. It even moved higher in Thursday when it garnered 31.9% and placed 2nd overall in primetime TV.

This data is based on the latest ratings on the survey conducted by AGB Nielsen Philippines among the Mega Manila households only.

Holding on to the no. 1 spot is "Zorro", a fantasy-action series topbilled by Richard Gutierrez.
