ABS-CBN Introduces New Teen Stars In Comedy Show 'Luv U' After 'Asap Rocks'

NOW THAT ‘Growing Up’ ends in its Sunday afternoon slot, ABS-CBN is introducing a new teen comedy show in its place starting February 19, “LUV U”, which stands for Leandro Uy Villarama University. It topbills talented Goin’ Bulilit graduates who are now tweeners like Miles Ocampo, Angeli Gonzales, Kiray Celis, CJ Navato and Igi Boy Flores. Kiray is so happy that after “Growing Up”, she’s now also in “Luv U’. How does she feel that she’s being built up as a young comedian, unlike Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes who are now leading ladies?

“Hindi ko alam kung paano maging sila, basta ako, masaya ako maging ako,” she says. “Kasi maliit daw ako, so masaya ako kasi forever young ako.”

The program also introduces young heartthrob Marco Gumabao, son former actor turned pastor Dennis Roldan whose real name is Mitchell Gumabao.

“I’m really honored to be part of Kapamilya Comedy’s ‘Luv U.’ This is my first ever project, so I promise to do my best,” says Marco.

Supporting them are Alfred Labatos, Rhap Salazar, Banjo and veteran comedians Joy Viado, Hyubs and Smokey Manaloto, with sizzling hot babe Bangs Garcia as their sexy teacher. "LUV U” is the story of three young girls Camille (Miles), Whitney (Kiray) and April (Angeli), who transferred to Luv U to finish high school and also experience about the highs and lows of young love with JB (Marco), Boom (CJ) and Rocky (Igiboy).

Miles said she’s excited for the project as she herself now enjoys high school life. “The show will make you laugh, but it will also impart valuable insights about life and love that young people can really relate with. Lahat kami, tumatanaw ng utang na loob kay Direk Bobot Mortiz of ‘Goin’ Bulilit’ as he didn’t only train us to be good actors but also instilled in us good values that can be helpful in our careers.”

“Luv U”will be seen after “ASAP Rocks” on ABS-CBN. For more updates, log on to http://twitter.com/abscbndotcom.
