GMA PUBLIC AFFAIRS has produced acclaimed hit TV series like “Lolong” and “Ilustrado”.
They now go into film production with “The Cheating Game”, in cooperation with GMA Pictures starring the reel and real love team of Julie Anne San Jose and Rayver Cruz.
Both are so happy that after they were paired as hosts of "The Clash" for 5 years, they are now doing their first film together.
So what are their roles in the film that is directed by Rod Marmol of “Cuddle Weather”.
“I play Hope Celestial”, says Julie Anne. “I’m already engaged to my fiance, but I found out that he has been unfaithful to me, so I called off our engagement.
"Disillusioned, I also walked out on my job and the life I thought was mine.”
“I play Miguel Agustin,” says Rayver. “I’m a self-made businessman and when I meet Julie Anne as Hope, we quickly warm up to each other.
"But as we become closer, some long kept secrets start to surface that kinda spoil our budding relationship.”
“The Cheating Game” is a fascinating, deep dive into the psyche of two individuals who have both been cheated on and react differently to betrayal.
