THE first ever 2022 P-Pop Convention held at the New Frontier Theater and Araneta Coliseum April 9 and 10 was a clear indication that P-Pop is alive.

While SB19 definitely dominated the scene, two groups are seen to be inching their way up, as gleaned from the positive wild reactions by fans.

First is the boy group VXON (read: Vision), a five member team composed of C13 (leader/main rapper), Patrick (main dancer), Franz (main vocals), Sam (lead rapper/lead vocals and Vince (visuals/lead vocals).

C13 is Christian Brennen Saraos, 5’7”, and was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A. On his own, he has made a solo debut single in South Korea entitled “Stay”. In fact, he lived in Korea for 2 years and has won as “International Male Performing Artist of the Year” in the 2021 ASEAN Excellence Achievers Awards.

Meanwhile, G22 is a four member girl group composed of really good looking AJ (leader/main rapper), Jaz (main vocals), Bianca (dancer/sub-rapper) and Alfea (visual/lead vocals).

SeanWhat Sean wants to prove beyond disrobing

INDIE actor Sean de Guzman is all-out to prove that beyond disrobing on screen, he has acting chops to begin with.

Now, Sean stars in another Joel Lamangan movie, with the working title, ‘Fall Guy’ under 3:16 Media Network opposite sexy star Cloe Barreto. In the movie, he plays an influencer who falls victim to social injustice.

Sean has worked under Direk Joel in movies like ‘Anak ng Macho Dancer’‘ in 2021, followed by ‘Lockdown,’ ‘Bekis on the Run’ and ‘Island of Desire.’

Another collaboration is the movie ‘Huling Bakla sa Balat ng Lupa’ which has not been shown yet.

In ‘Fall Guy,’ Sean has a more challenging role which might be a shoo-in for an acting award. The movie is written by Troy Espiritu, produced by Len Carillo of 3:16 Media Network and John Bryan Diamante of Mentorque Productions.

“Iba ito sa mga usual films na ginagawa ko dati. Malayung-malayo siya. Hindi na sex ang sentro ng pelikula. Susubukan ko namang tumawid sa pagiging dramatic actor,” says Sean.

Even producer Len Carillo or Mama Len is quite confident Sean can deliver .“Madami pa kasi siyang ilalabas na hindi pa nakikita ng tao. Ang dami niyang pinagdaanan at alam kong makakatulong ‘yon nang malaki lalo na sa role niya ngayon,” Len opines.

Meanwhile, also in ‘Fall Guy’ are Glydel Mercado, Shamaine Buencamino, Vance Larena, Quinn Cariillo, Marco Gomez, Karl Aquino, Tina Paner, Jim Pebanco, Pancho Carrillo, Mark Cardona, Tiffany Grey, Azekah Alvarez, Nisa Ortiz, Hershie de Leon and Itan Magnaye.

Sean has been a favorite Vivamax star as he was seen in a number of movies like ‘Nerisa,’ ‘Taya,’ ‘Mahjong Nights,’ ‘Hugas’ and the original series, ‘Iskandalo’ under the no. 1 Filipino streaming app.
