QUOTE
ENTER THE WORLD OF Lipgloss




Meet Meg. She's sweet, rich, a campus queen, a circle of privileged friends -- she has everything a teen could wish for...or does she? What lies beyond charmed life and sophisticated existence?

Meet Abby, Meg's best friend, overcompensating albeit sometimes insecure. If not for Meg, she would be the campus' queen bee. She grudgingly accepts playing second to Meg in the popularity contest since she has the undivided attention of her boyfriend and politician's scion, Jake...or does she really? What happens if she finds out that Jake has a penchant for Meg?

Meet Kyle, Edge, Jake, Maui and Jiggo, the boys of Linden High. To the outside world, they are a cool bunch of well-heeled boys, rich or talented enough to be included in the school roster. But beyond the cool, devil-may-care attitudes are deep personal hurts and motivations that propel their dealings with their world and with their loves.

And finally, meet Steph, Ziggy, and Louise. Steph is the veritable mean girl fired by a determination to dethrone Meg and Abby from their exalted status in campus. Ziggy


is the balikbayan who wants to fit in even if her financial status is not congruent to her social dreams. Louise is the Chinese heiress who just wants to live a normal teen's life. Perky Charina Suzara on the other hand plays the indomitable Juvilee, who thinks that wealth brought about by lottery winnings can bring her to the "in" circle.

These are some of the interesting kids of Linden High whose personal dramas are all revealed in the website LIPGLOSS.

LIPGLOSS is the newest weekly youth drama to hit local television today and is slated to air every Saturday, starting August 16 at 5pm on TV 5. LIPGLOSS brings together the bunch of freshest faces and talents that is sure to rock Saturday night primetime.

LIPGLOSS is about the triumphs and travails of the students of upscale Linden High, and how their personal and muddled relationships, misfortunes, heartbreaks and dreams beyond their "glossy" images are revealed through their website by an anonymous blogger.

The recent press launch was attended by the engaging cast composed of showbiz royalty and vibrant new talents. Television, movie and theater hearttrhob Sam Concepcion plays Kyle, a geeky freshman who has a nose for both mischief and gadgets; he also turns out to be the secret moderator of LIPGLOSS. Meg is Saab Magalona, now coming into her own as a deep actress. As Meg, Saab is both sassy, refreshing and loyal, determined to ride and conquer the roller coaster of teen emotions and true love. Elegant beauty Maxine Eigenmann plays Abby, on and off bratty and bean pie best friend of Meg. Her vengeful side is unmasked when she discovers that Jake, her boyfriend played by Rodjun Cruz, has feelings for her best friend. Edge is played by dragon-boat enthusiast Kevin Lapena, nephew of actor Lorenzo Mara. He plays the pseudo-deep guy crazy in love with the popular Meg.




Stage and tv personality Cheska Ortega plays Ziggy, a freshman obsessed with breaking into the upper crust of popularity. Louise is Mary Grace Perido, one of the


more sought after fresh talents today. Miki Hahn is the campus "mean girl". Mikee Lee and Fred Payawan play Maui and Jiggo respectively.

Seasoned artists such as Lorenzo Mara, screen siren Rachel Lobangco, Lloyd Samartino, Ricardo Cepeda and Emilio Garcia also play important roles in the youth teledrama.

LIPGLOSS is eye candy and mind candy, tantalizing and terrific, a complex and fascinating saga of haves and have-mores. It deals with real issues of the young beyond-the-boy-meets girl variety. LIPGLOSS is co-produced for TV 5 by Prime Events Force Unlimited Inc. and is directed by Cris Pablo and Aleah Aliporo Eugenio. LIPGLOSS airs every Saturday at 5pm on TV 5 starting August 16.

It looks tacky. And overreaching.
A couple of girls are really cute though.

That was cringe worthy.

AHAHAHAHA at Mikee Lee being "gangster" ... oh please.

Only Rodjun guy had star quality and I won't even call this Filipino Gossip Girl... more Filipino Degrassi.

Wow. They could have done a better website. Seriously.
If it's such a glamorous drama, they don't need a website looking like somebody did it in 10 minutes.

i would prefer that they would stop associating the show with gossip girls...i would prefer if they would talk more tagalog..

i am angry of myself because i can’t move forward unless i hide my feelings
i just realized that when i meet you i can’t just close and throw my heart away

Oh dear... we got another one =___=

Really, Philippine's gotta learn that they just can't copy all this mini cooper up, cuz they really have big shoes to fill in that they just CANNOT!

I don't think TV5 is gonna pull off that preppy highschool set. It just doesn't work out when you have a cast who aren't fit enough to be called "beautiful."
