Minsan nang ipinagmalaki ni Direk Carlo J. Caparas that he couldn’t think of any other actor in this generation na babagay sa karakter ni Flavio sa kanyang obrang “Ang Panday” than Richard Gutierrez. The two have partnered again, this time sa pelikulang “Miracles are Forever” na isang patotoo based on its three-story package.
Sa bahagi tungkol sa Mamasapano debacle kabilang si Richard Gutierrez, the two others also attesting to the power of miracles occurring in near-death situations.
Relating this “new lease on life” theme, wala rin itong inilayo sa sa kaso nina Direk Carlo Caparas at Richard, respectively, whose careers—sidelined for a while—ay pinagpakitaan din ng himala.
Late last year nang bumalik muli sa paggawa ng pelikula si Direk Carlo, TV then followed suit via his classic “Ang Panday” that beckoned the return of Richard, last seen on GMA’s Love & Lies.
Still gaining momentum sa tatlong gabing pag-ere ng “Ang Panday” sa TV5—home to several new shows, both Viva and station-produced—worth the wait ang big screen tandem naman nina Direk Carlo at Richard, “Ang Panday” being a pre-sold publicity cum marketing weapon.
