Julius troops to Subic, Zambales not for a summer getaway but to help a mother who has lost her mind on Monday (March 16) in “Mission Possible.”

“Nenita” left home when she eloped at the age of 17. She eventually came back to their town in Zambales with a baby in her arms. Her parents had noticed that their daughter acted like a child and had a penchant to be aggressive and hurt anyone close.

Nenita’s parents had no recourse but to send their daughter to the mountains where she could not cause immediate harm. She was also sent to a mental institution in Bataan two years ago for two months but it still did not work out. Nenita is now 43 and her three children have never felt their mother’s love for 18 years while she was thrown to the mountains for a second time by her parents.

Will Julius be able to help Nenita and her family?

“Mission Possible” airs on Monday (March 16), 4:30PM at ABS-CBN. Follow their Facebook (http://facebook.com/missionpossible.abscbn) and Twitter (@mission_abscbn) for more updates.

Also part of ABS-CBN’s new weekday current affairs block are Karen Davila, Atty. Claire Castro, and K Brosas in “3-in-1” (Tuesdays), Atom Araullo in “RealiTV” (Wednesdays), Dyan Castillejo in “Sports U” (thursdays), and Anthony Taberna in “Tapatan ni Tunying” (Fridays).

The recent bold move of ABS-CBN The Filipino Channel (TFC) to subtitle most of its popular programs in English for viewing worldwide was met with pleasant surprise by many who welcomed the new free feature of their TFC subscriptions.

“As I emphasized before, this TFC initiative is an investment in the overseas Filipino family who we have pledged to serve,” said ABS-CBN Global COO Raffy Lopez. “I am most heartened by the fact and reality that overseas Filipinos are now gathering around the television as a family again, watching, understanding and enjoying TFC’s Filipino shows. We have transcended the barriers of language and made Filipino content accessible to the the English-speaking world.”

Below are what some subscribers are saying about TFC’s new initiative:

“My husband, Mark, is very happy and excited that TFC has subtitles. Now he can understand the language better and the FILIPINO culture. He also mentioned that he is more interested in watching TFC because he learns new words everyday and can relate in the conversations. He now has the ability to talk more in depth about the programs that he is viewing.” – Joji Reyes Ortega-Babuschack, Human Resources Personelist, Department of the Navy and Producer, JB Entertainment Productions, LCC, Toms River, New Jersey

“For me personally, I like it, it makes me more engaged in watching TFC. My kids, though they are focused on their school work and social media, are beginning to watch and understand. Before, TFC turns on when I get home and when I watch, they hear the TV but they’re still on their homework and social media. But every time we watch a Filipino movie in the theater, subtitles keep them focused and more appreciative of the movie. Now at home, my daughter Ellie watches ‘Oh My G’ with subtitles. She appreciates having the subtitles as she understands what’s going on.” – Ledy Almadin, President-elect, PAFCOM and Manager, EisnerAmper LLP, Jersey City, NJ

“My whole family has a great experience with the subtitles on TFC! The kids, especially, can relate and understand the shows more. I’m so happy to see my granddaughters, Nyelle Sarreal and Jeannaliz Weber, learning to watch Filipino programs!” – Marlet Cassidy, elementary school teacher, North Bergen, NJ

“My husband, Marck, loves languages. Being a musician, he has a good ear for how words are pronounced. But what helps him most when learning a language is knowing how words are spelled. Before, every time he gets a chance to sit in front of the TV to catch TFC, he would say, ‘I wish they spoke slowly.’ So, when one day he saw that TFC has subtitles, he was just overjoyed. ‘Oh… so ngayon is spelled -nga!’ he exclaimed. As for me, I just want to say, ‘Good job TFC!’ You don’t just provide entertainment for Filipinos here in the US, you’ve just widened your audience!” – Mildred Smith, Seafood City Marketing Communications Strategist, Los Angeles, California

“During the past few months, our family is able to ‘bond’ with each other by watching some TFC teleseryes while having dinner. My two sons, Brian (15) and Joshua (13) are able to understand our Tagalog language but is not able to speak the language, except for short conversational phrases like, Kamusta po? and Salamat po.

“Quite recently, while watching the teleserye, ‘Oh my G!’, Brian suddenly remarked, ‘Looks like the English subtitles are not the exact translation of the conversation.’ My husband and I were a bit surprised with his comment. We know that he can understand what he hears from the teleserye but we were not conscious that he was also paying attention to the subtitles. Anyway, his next comment was, ‘What does naku mean?’ My husband and I looked at each other in amazement and then I replied, ‘I don’t think there is a direct translation for the word, naku, as this is an expression.’ I further pointed out that it appears that the subtitles are written based on the intended meaning of the conversation. This is an ongoing wonderful bonding and learning experience.” – Olive Clavio, President, GTI Corporation dba GTI Telecom, Los Angeles, California

Based on the novel “Insurgent” by Veronica Roth, The Divergent Series: Insurgent picks up three days after the end of Divergent, when Tris and Four narrowly hindered Jeanine’s plot to use mind-controlled Dauntless troops to exterminate the population of Abnegation.

But the victory comes at a terrible personal cost for Tris. Both her parents are killed in the battle, as is her fellow Dauntless initiate Will, whom she is forced to shoot when he attacks her under the influence of a brain-altering serum.

Golden Globe Award®-nominee Shailene Woodley reprises her role as Tris in “Insurgent” where she and Four (Theo James) find themselves on the run from Jeanine (Kate Winslet), the power-hungry leader of the Erudite faction. As the traitorous Dauntless troops under Jeanine’s command prowl the ruins of dystopian Chicago rounding up Divergents, Tris and Four traverse the city hoping to find allies among the Amity, Candor, Abnegation and Dauntless factions—as well as the rebellious and impoverished mass of Factionless.

“The book release of Insurgent was when the Divergent series truly took off and became a publishing phenomenon. Veronica wrote a roller coaster of a book with incredible twists and turns that really captured the imagination of fans, who spread the word like wildfire,” says producer Pouya Shahbazian. “In Insurgent the city is in upheaval and new secrets are coming to light. While in the first movie, Jeanine pinpoints the Divergents as being a problem she wants to eliminate, in this movie, we learn very quickly that Jeanine is determined to capture them and use them to discover a powerful secret to which only they hold the key..”

According to Roth, writing Insurgent allowed her to flesh out Tris’ world in a way she wasn’t able to do in Divergent, partially because the first book was written in the first person. “It’s a little bit like growing up,” the author says. “When you’re a child, the world is very small, and when we get older, we realize how large the world really is. Insurgent is the world getting a little bit bigger and Tris is experiencing that in a very literal way … first it’s one faction, then it’s two factions, then it’s the entire city of Chicago.”

“The Divergent Series: Insurgent is a high-octane action-adventure packed with excitement and suspense,” says Erik Feig, Co-President of Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group, who also played an instrumental role in the development and production of blockbuster book-based franchises “The Hunger Games” and “The Twilight Saga.” “It combines a riveting plot, an extraordinary cast and a lot of heart with intense stunt work and visual effects to deliver an extremely satisfying and unique movie-going experience.”

Although the filmmakers made every effort to stay true to the themes and characters of the books, Roth understood that some changes needed to be made to present the 544-page novel in a two-hour movie. “In the book, there’s more freedom to do a weird structure and explain things slowly. But on screen, it has to be fast and concise and clear. I’m always really open-minded to change as long as it creates a better and stronger story. One thing that was very important to me was to ensure that the dynamic between Tris and Four remained the same, and that she is still the primary mover of the plot. And in Insurgent, it is still Tris’ story.”

“Insurgent” opens in cinemas on March 18 from Pioneer Films.

Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara are “armed and sort of dangerous” in the first poster art for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and New Line Cinema’s upcoming comedy “Hot Pursuit” which has just been launched.

In “Hot Pursuit,” an uptight and by-the-book cop (Witherspoon) tries to protect the sexy and outgoing widow (Vergara) of a drug boss as they race through Texas, pursued by crooked cops and murderous gunmen.

Anne Fletcher (“The Proposal”) directs from a screenplay written by David Feeney (TV’s “New Girl”) & John Quaintance (TV’s “Ben & Kate”) and Dana Fox (“What Happens in Vegas”) & Katherine Silberman (TV’s “Ben & Kate”). John Carroll Lynch (“Crazy, Stupid, Love.”) and Rob Kazinsky (“Pacific Rim”) also star.

Columbia Pictures has just revealed the first trailer of its upcoming animated comedy “Hotel Transylvania 2,” the sequel to the 2012 worldwide hit, “Hotel Transylvania.”

The Drac pack is back for an all-new monster comedy adventure in Sony Pictures Animation’s Hotel Transylvania 2! Everything seems to be changing for the better at Hotel Transylvania… Dracula’s rigid monster-only hotel policy has finally relaxed, opening up its doors to human guests. But behind closed coffins, Drac is worried that his adorable half-human, half-vampire grandson, Dennis, isn’t showing signs of being a vampire. So while Mavis is busy visiting her human in-laws with Johnny – and in for a major cultural shock of her own – “Vampa” Drac enlists his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to put Dennis through a “monster-in-training” boot camp. But little do they know that Drac’s grumpy and very old, old, old school dad Vlad is about to pay a family visit to the hotel. And when Vlad finds out that his great-grandson is not a pure blood – and humans are now welcome at Hotel Transylvania – things are going to get batty!

“Hotel Transylvania 2” is directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, produced by Michelle Murdocca, executive-produced by Sandler, Allen Covert, and Ben Waisbren, and written by Robert Smigel.

The cast is led by returning stars Adam Sandler (Dracula), Andy Samberg (Johnny), Selena Gomez (Mavis), Kevin James (Frank), Fran Drescher (Eunice), Steve Buscemi (Wayne), Molly Shannon (Wanda), David Spade (Griffin), Keegan-Michael Key (Murray), and new cast addition, Mel Brooks (Vlad).

Opening across the Philippines on September 29, 2015, “Hotel Transylvania 2” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

The Cinema One Originals film “That Thing Called Tadhana” continues to soar. After a successful nationwide release last month and positive responses from critics and film viewers, the Angelica Panganiban-JM de Guzman starrer is heading to US theaters starting this March 27 (Friday).

The phenomenal blockbuster hit, which amassed a staggering 134 million pesos last month, has been named the highest grossing indie film of all time, with screenings always sold out nationwide. Director Antoinette Jadaone’s romantic-comedy film has also harvested numerous awards, including the Audience Choice and Best Actress awards at the 2014 Cinema One Originals Film Festival, as well as the Best Actor award at the Gawad Pasado.

“That Thing Called Tadhana” has also been selected in various international film festivals. Jadaone’s film will compete at the Osaka Asian Film Festival 2015 and will be part of the Los Angeles Asian Film FeStival, and at the Hawaii International Film Festival.

Angelica is elated on the film’s continued success. She recently shared her excitement about the film’s slated screenings abroad at the film’s victory party.

“I am very excited because our Kapamilya abroad will have the chance to watch the film. I hope that ‘Tadhana’ will experience the same success abroad as it did here in the country,” Angelica Panganiban said.

On winning best actress in awards shows, Angelica said the experience is humbling.

“Just being nominated together with ate Guy (Nora Aunor), ate Vi (Vilma Santos), Sharon Cuneta, is such an honor. I felt that the nomination itself was already a win because my name was in the same category with them,” she added.

Meanwhile, JM de Guzman, who recently won his first best actor award for the film, said he is grateful to be given the part of Anthony.

“I am very thankful that the role of Anthony was given to me. From the very start, I have believed in the script and the people behind the film because ‘Tadhana’ has a very compelling story, but I did not expect that it would be such a big hit. Everything is happening so fast. I mean, we already have an international screening and we’re taking part in international film festivals. It’s so surreal,” JM shared.

JM also reacted on how ‘Tadhana’ served as his big comeback to showbiz with a big charming smile.

“I just laughed a lot when people say that ‘That Thing Called Tadhana’ catapulted me to matinee idol status. I did leading man roles before, but becoming a matinee idol didn’t occur to me. Thinking about it just makes me laugh,” JM said.

JM is also pleased about “Tadhana’s” international screenings because it will generate more awareness about indie filmmakers, actors, and producers.

Aside from international screenings, “That Thing Called Tadhana” will have an outdoor screening at Cinema One’s Boracay summer event on March 28 (Saturday) and director Antoinette Jadaone’s breakthrough film will also have a book adaptation.

Third time’s a charm for actress/model Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach who bested 33 other contestants of the Binibining Pilipinas 2015 pageant for the most-coveted “Miss Universe Philippines” crown.

Pia, a Star Magic talent, was first-runner up in Bb. Pilipinas 2013 (Miss Universe 2013 1st runner up Janine Tugonon’s batch). Last year (MJ Lastimosa’s batch), she joined again and made it to the Top 15 but failed to bag a placement. It’s her 3rd time to join Binibini this year and finally, Fil-German beauty emerged as the top winner.

Known for her screen name Pia Alonzo, the 25-year-old Cagayan de Oro native already appeared on various ABS-CBN programs such as “K2BU,” “Your Song,” and “Aryana.” She’s also a part-time model while training to become a beauty queen since 2012.

During the Question and Answer portion of last night’s Binibining Pilipinas, Pia was asked by Congresswoman Leni Robredo about her thoughts on internet censorship. She said ‘we should be careful by what we posts online’ either thoughts or photos. She concluded her answer by using the tagline of one of GMA Network’s advocacy called “Think before you click.”

Pia will be representing the Philippines in Miss Universe 2015.
