Shaina Magdayao and Matteo Guidicelli Stars in Cinema One and Phil Star Project Single/Single Mini-Series

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Your friendly neighborhood Pambansang Blogger was invited by Cinema One and the Philippine Star to the media launch of their first ever mini-series on wealth management and millennial life entitled "Single\Single" top-billed by Shaina Magdayao and Matteo Guidicelli. The presscon was held on Thursday August 13, 2015 at 11 am at Resto 9501 located at the 14th floor of ABS-CBN ELJ Building .

Single\Single stars Shaina Magdayao and Matteo Guidicelli plays the roles of Joee and Joey respectively. An odd couple forced to share an apartment for practical reasons. Will sharing the rent be disaster or a happy ever after?

I'm guessing that the similarity of their names play a vital function in the story. Maybe they got into the predicament of living in the same apartment because of it. I hope I was not able to predict it since that would mean it's a bit predictable. But the director told us they are already on the 8th episode so we just have to wait until the pilot episode comes out on August 29 at 8 pm in Cinema One.

The questions from media were mostly about Matteo's boxer shorts and how we was uncomfortable wearing it in the presence of Shaina Magdayao. It will be the first time they will be working together even though they are both at ASAP during weekends. Since Shaina is a dancer and Matteo is a singer, they have not yet been on the same performance in the noontime show. I asked about Matteo's abs since he probably went into regular workouts to have or maintain them for the show so he will look good on TV, and I also asked if Shaina, who was wearing a gorgeous backless outfit that day, if she will be wearing something daring and as sexy like a swimsuit or bikini since Direk Pepediokno did say they are able to become more daring in the cable channel since it is less strict in censorship. Shaina said as for now, she was only asked to wear short shorts. Hhhmmm, but if she was asked to wear something a little more revealing, will she do it?
