Heaven Peralejo on Joining the 'PlayTime' Family and Her 'Dream' of a Lifetime working with Bossing Vic Sotto

In the dynamic world of Philippine entertainment, a new and exciting partnership is taking center stage. Rising star Heaven Peralejo is making waves as the newest brand endorser and “muse” of the online entertainment and gaming platform, PlayTime, and she’s doing it alongside none other than the iconic actor and TV host, “Bossing” Vic Sotto.

Heaven Peralejo is the newest endorser of Playtime PH alongside with Bossing Vic Sotto.

During a recent media call that formally welcomed her to the PlayTime family, Heaven candidly shared her admiration for the showbiz legend and expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. “Siyempre, honored po ako (Of course, I feel honored),” she said. "When I was young, he was already famous. So, you know, it's a dream of mine to work with him, and now that I'm a part of this family, I'm so happy. It’s so heartwarming."

From Vivarkada to a 'Dream' Collaboration

Heaven, who recently graced the “Vivarkada: The Ultimate Fandom and Grand Concert,” spoke about the deep sense of family she feels with her co-actors, crediting them for their big role in her growth as an artist. Her gratitude extended to Boss Vic, acknowledging him for providing a platform for artists to showcase their talents.

The actress revealed that sharing the screen with Vic Sotto in a film project is a major item on her "bucket list." She shared that she has watched all of his movies since she was a child. "I hope so," she said. "I'll give my 100 percent if given the chance."

Her enthusiasm for a potential collaboration is well-founded. A partnership between Heaven and Vic Sotto could lead to a variety of projects, from new installments of his popular fantasy and comedy films to a historical-action-and-family drama similar to his latest project, The Kingdom.

Finding Balance in the Spotlight

Beyond her aspirations, Heaven also spoke about the importance of balance in her demanding career. When asked about her idea of “play” or relaxation, she emphasized, "It's all about balance." For her, "playtime" is about knowing when to pause and find joy in the small things. She highlighted the importance of squeezing in time with family and friends to recharge, a necessary practice for artists in her profession.

No Regrets: A Journey of Taking Risks

Heaven’s journey is a testament to embracing challenges and making choices with conviction. Reflecting on her transfer to Viva Artists Agency, she described it as “the biggest, best risk I have ever taken.” Her philosophy is simple: she believes everything happens for a reason and has no regrets in life.

With her hands full with her upcoming series adaptation of I Love You Since 1892, where she plays two characters, and her new role as PlayTime’s muse, Heaven Peralejo is poised for an exciting new chapter in her career. As she continues to champion the platform's vision of responsible entertainment, fans can only hope that her dream of a lifetime collaboration with Bossing Vic Sotto will soon become a reality.

'Di Kami Papatinag' ("We Won't Be Shaken"): The 'I Love You Since 1892' Stars Respond Boldly to Bashers and Critics

The success of "I Love You Since 1892," the highly anticipated Wattpad adaptation, is undeniable. But with this success comes a growing number of critics and bashers, particularly concerning the casting. In an exclusive interview, the three main actors—Heaven Peralejo, Jerome Ponce, and Joseph Marco—bravely addressed the issue and delivered a clear message: "Hindi kami papatinag (We won't be shaken)."

The Challenge of Online Bashing

It's no secret that being a lead in a popular story brings immense pressure, especially from social media. From their acting and personal lives to their physical appearance, some netizens spare no criticism, often in favor of the original "portrayers" of the characters. But instead of giving in to the negativity, the trio chose to take a stand and become a voice of resilience.

"It's difficult, yes," admitted Heaven Peralejo, who plays Carmela and Carmelita. "But it's more important for us to focus on our work and the people who support us. The love from our fans is stronger than the noise from the bashers."

A Message of Gratitude and Hope

Despite the criticism, the stars didn't forget to thank their loyal supporters. "To all our solid supporters, thank you so much," said Jerome Ponce, who plays Juanito. "You are our strength. Every time we read your comments and messages, we feel your love and inspiration."

They also didn't miss the chance to send a message to their critics. "We understand that everyone has their own opinion," added Joseph Marco, who plays Leandro. "But we hope that we can all be kinder to each other. We don't know what a person is going through. It would be better if we just focused on the positive."

The Resilience of the 'I Love You Since 1892' Family

Above all, the three showed their unity. "We are not alone," they stated. "We are facing this together. We help each other, talk to each other, and give each other strength. The entire cast and production team are like family. And when you're a family, you protect each other."

Their courageous statement serves as an inspiration not only to their fans but also to anyone experiencing online harassment. It shows that true strength doesn't come from tearing others down, but from standing firm for yourself and the people you love.
