Kokey@Ako Airs Final Episodes This Week


They are yet to take their final bow this week but as early as now, the cast of ABS-CBN's fantaserye Kokey@Ako is already missing the show, which became part of their daily routine for one whole season.

"I will surely miss Direk Wenn, Direk Ricky, Melason, and everybody I've worked with because I enjoyed their company during shoot, during standy time in the dressing room while waiting for our next take. I will also miss portraying Jackie because her character is very natural and very real," said the Ultimate Multimedia Star Toni Gonzaga.

If Toni will miss the people behind the show, her co-star Vhong Navarro, on the other hand, will miss their playtime and bonding in between takes.

"I will definitely miss the fun moments, exchanging jokes, imitating Kokey and Kekay, as well as the adlibs and punchlines we blurt out during takes," said the Prince of Comedy.

Meanwhile, the show made a different impact on reel and real life couple Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco as they recalled valuable lessons learned from fellow actors on set.

"I learned to respect every individual, be it human or alien because he is created by God. Also, I learned to love my job more because if you love your job, you wont get tired of it," shared Melai.

"I learned to become more professional because Kuya Vhong and Ate Toni set such good examples. Even though they are big stars already, you wont see them complaining about work. They study the script, the character, and listen very well to the instructions being given by our directors," explained Jason.

Everyone must definitely watch the finale week of Kokey@Ako especially after much kept secrets have already been revealed - Belat's true identity and Lois' disguise as Princess.

As the real Bruce returns, who will win over Jackie's heart? The guy she has always loved or the guy she has learned to love?

Meanwhile, the kukurikabukan forces get even stronger which puts Kekay into much peril. How will Kokey protect his younger sister? Will the aliens finally invade planet Earth? Will Jackie's family ever be reunited?

Don't miss the finale week of Kokey@Ako airing before TV Patrol on ABS-CBN.

Jenni-Lyn Watson's Remains Believed to Be Found



CBS News reports that 20-year-old Pennsylvania student who vanished last week while on Thanksgiving break in her hometown was killed by her on-again, off-again boyfriend, who then dumped her body in a park "like garbage," a prosecutor said Saturday.

Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said 21-year-old Steven Pieper of Liverpool, N.Y., had been arrested on a charge of murder in the death of Jenni-Lyn Watson, a junior dance major at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa.

He was scheduled to be arraigned Saturday night in Clay town court. Pieper did not have a phone number listed at his home address.

A message left at a relative's house was not immediately returned Saturday. It was unclear whether he had an attorney yet. Eden Mishler, a dance major who had met Watson three years ago during her freshman year at Mercyhurst College, told The Associated Press that she had met Pieper several times but didn't know him that well.
