On April 27, Viva Communications Inc. CEO Vincent del Rosario revealed details about the production of Matteo Guidicelli’s Pedro Penduko.
During the Vivamax’s Summer to The Max campaign event, Del Rosario gave updates about the possible release of the Pedro Penduko.
“‘Yung Penduko hindi namin ma-shoot noong pandemic because of restrictions sa dami ng tao sa set. Obviously, parang heavy sa actions, sa fights, so hindi namin nagawa.
“So ngayon na nagluwag na ulit in terms of protocols, I think if not later this year, early next year pwede namin magawa iyon.”
He also disclosed that his dad, Vicente del Rosario Jr. (Boss Vic), is currently discussing projects with Guidicelli and Sarah Geronimo.
“Hindi ako personally, pero si Boss Vic is in touch with Sara and Matteo. So yes, nag-uusap sila about sa careers nung dalawa. ‘Yung pagbalik nila sa movies pati sa live events.
“Ang alam ko nga they’re actively pursuing ‘yung discussions whether concert ‘yun or pelikula. Tuloy-tuloy lang.”
He also shared updates about other projects under Viva’s belt that are ready for release or currently going through production.
“Other projects iyon natapos naman namin at nailabas na, kagaya noong Heartache noong Christmas, ‘yung Exorsis nailabas din namin. May natapos kaming isa, ‘yung Sassy Girl, ‘yung si TEN17P, si Toni Gonzaga, adaptation, tapos na rin ‘yun.
“Oppa ni Belle, Ultimate ni Oppa na co-prod with Reality, tapos na rin ‘yun, at least of all for theatrical. And of course, ‘yung Walang KaParis na co-prod namin with Spring ni Direk Sigrid.
“So marami naman na pong natapos na eventually mailalabas na, kasama po ‘yung Sa Huli pala ni Ryza at Xian na malaking project.”
As for their streaming platform, Vivamax became the number one Pinoy Streaming Platform, with its subscribers hitting around 2.5 million in the first quarter of 2022.
