Ruru Madrid expresses interest in directing
Aside from acting, Ruru Madrid is also eyeing getting into directing.
On Wednesday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Ruru was asked if he has any interest in taking on a directorial job.
'Gusto. Sobrang gusto,' Ruru said.
The Sparkle actor confirmed that he will get there, and it's something that he wants to do in the future.
'Yes. And anytime soon,' he added.
Ruru stars in 'Lolong: Ang Pangil ng Maynila,' which is set to air its grand finale on Friday.
Ruru had wrapped up his taping for the series and signed off as his title character, saying playing the role of Lolong was never easy because it comes with some sacrifice.
'Dumaan kami sa matitinding pagsubok, lalo na nung hindi ako makagalaw dahil sa injury. Kailangan naming baguhin ang takbo ng kwento. Pero hindi tumigil ang laban. Hindi bumitaw ang bawat isa. Lahat nag-step up, nagkaisa, at piniling lumaban para sa isa't isa,' he said.
The Kapuso Primetime Action Hero first played the title character in 2022 when "Lolong" Season 1 premiered.
In "Lolong: Pangil ng Maynila," Lolong moves to Manila for a fresh start after losing his powers. There, he encounters action-packed adventures and challenges.
The series airs Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras" on GMA Prime.

‘Mga Batang Riles' ends chapter with justice served and brighter tomorrows
'Mga Batang Riles' served a gripping finale that delivered a rollercoaster of emotions as it closed the chapter on the boys' tumultuous journey. The episode opened in the heat of chaos as the boys rushed to save Kidlat (Miguel Tanfelix), who was inside a burning building. In a dramatic turn, it was his biological father, Rendon (Jay Manalo), who came to his rescue. Kidlat managed to escape and was tearfully reunited with his mother, Maying (Diana Zubiri), and his found family, Dagul (Anton Vinzon), Kulot (Kokoy de Santos), and Sig (Raheel Bhyria). Inside the flames, Rendon made the ultimate sacrifice, choosing to stay with Matos (Bruce Roeland) in their final moments. Kidlat and the others attempted to save them, only to witness the building collapse before their eyes. Following the tragedy, a more emotional reunion unfolded between Dagul and Dolor (Ynez Veneracion), who, for the first time, showed genuine care and regret for how she had treated him. The two embraced, symbolizing healing after years of distance. As the flames of the past settled, Kidlat wrestled with his emotions over Matos' death, once a friend, then a foe, and Rendon, the father who saved him despite their bitter history. Maying reminded him of the strength he showed. The residents of Sitio Liwanag, wounded but unbroken, gathered with newfound hope and pledged to start anew. The final act brought long-awaited justice as Argus (Jeric Raval) was captured and exposed Scarlett (Desiree Del Valle) as the mastermind behind the arson that devastated Sitio Liwanag. With this revelation, the people finally got the justice they deserved. The young heroes also took their first steps into new lives: Dagul became a police officer, Kulot an engineer, and Sig, now with Lady, who successfully received a transplant, looked forward to the future. Kidlat became a martial arts teacher, continuing to inspire strength and discipline in others. Mutya (Zephanie), who pursued her dream of becoming a nurse, remained by Kidlat's side as his partner. In a fitting final scene, the boys were seen chasing after a thief, symbolizing their undying courage and readiness to stand up for what is right. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News

‘Superman' cast grateful for warmth, support given by Filipino fans
The cast and crew of the new 'Superman' film have expressed their profound joy and gratitude following their visit to the Philippines, which was the first stop of their world tour. In Nelson Canlas' report in '24 Oras' Friday, David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan talked about the love they felt from the Filipino fans. 'To show up and have people dressed as Superman and dressed as Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific, and there were definitely some Lois Lanes out there, it's really just we get to come and celebrate this amazing legacy of these characters in this world and get excited for the new chapter that we're bringing,' David said. 'You know, we're the new kids on the block, and to feel that warmth and that kind of support as we're kicking off this tour was really, really special. So we're very grateful to have started here in the Philippines,' Rachel said. David will star as Superman and Clark Kent in the film, while Rachel will play the role of Lois Lane. Director James Gunn also explained his motivation for the approach of the movie, particularly in the current global climate. 'I think that we've gotten in the world—the world seems kind of mean lately. I think that I really just want to remind people and myself about the values of basic human kindness,' he said. On social media Friday, the "Superman" film shared photos of the stars alongside James and co-producer Peter Safran posing with a Superman-themed jeepney. 'Superman' opens in cinemas and IMAX on July 9. It establishes the iconic hero in the new DC Studios cinematic universe headed by Gunn and Peter Safran. According to Gunn, "Superman" has become more than a movie for him. "It's a story about humanity, about what it means to be a hero in a world that doesn't always make it easy to be one.' The film also stars Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News
