ABS-CBN and Dreamscape Television Entertainment proudly present the newest love story that will prove destiny exists, “Born for You,” topbilled by the newest love team of Janella Salvador and Elmo Magalona, which airs beginning Monday (June 20).
“Born for You” is Janella’s first romantic-themed series and Elmo’s first-ever teleserye in the Kapamilya network. These firsts in their careers make the two lead stars excited and thankful for their upcoming show.
“I am very happy to be with ABS-CBN and very blessed to have what I have right now. But I am also nervous about what people are going to expect. Still, I believe in what I and Janella can offer,” said Elmo.
“There is little pressure but more excitement. When I was reading the script, I could already imagine how good the show is,” Janella added.
Aside from the kilig-moments, viewers are also in for a huge music treat as the pair will not only showcase their acting skills, but also their musicality through performances that will surely delight fans.
“Music is so close to my heart and when I learned that my character Kevin is really passionate about music, I loved him instantly,” said the Kapamilya actor.
“This soap gave me the opportunity to play instruments, something that people have not seen before,” said Janella, who plays the ukulele in the series.
“Born for You” was shot in Japan, highlighting some scenic spots such as the world-famous Mount Fuji and Shibuya Crossing.
And even before its premiere, the show already received praises from viewers with its quality and promising story. The netizens are also abuzz with the kilig brought by the teleserye as the series is a consistent trending topic on social media.
The story of “Born for You” revolves around Sam (Janella) and Kevin (Elmo), two people destined for each other as proven by the concept of red string of fate, which says that an invisible string connects two destined people and are set to meet each other wherever they are in the world.
Their love for music will bring Sam and Kevin together, but it might also be the reason for their budding romance to be cut off.

Paparating na ngayong June 20…
PINAKABAGONG KAPAMILYA LOVETEAM “ELNELLA,” PAIIBIGIN ANG MGA MANONOOD SA “BORN FOR YOU”
Mapapanood na ang pinakabagong teleseryeng handog ng ABS-CBN at Dreamscape Television Entertainment na magpapatunay na may itinadhanang tao para sa lahat, ang “Born for You” na pinagbibidahan ng pinkabagong loveteam na aabangan sa primetime, sina Janella Salvador at Elmo Magalona, na magbubukas ngayong Lunes (June 20).
Ang “Born for You” ay ang pinakaunang romantic series ni Janella at ang pinakaunang teleseryeng pagbibidahan naman ni Elmo sa Kapamilya network. At para sa kanilang unang pagtatambal, lubos ang saya at pasasalamat na kanilang nadarama.
“I am very happy to be with ABS-CBN and very blessed to have what I have right now. Pero kinakabahan din ako kung anong ine-expect ng mga tao, pero naniniwala ako sa io-offer namin ni Janella,” masayang pagsasaad ni Elmo.
“May konting pressure pero mas may excitement. I have a good feeling about this show kasi noong binabasa ko pa lang ang script, sobrang ganda na,” dagdag naman ni Janella.
Bukod sa kilig moments ng “ElNella,” hindi rin dapat palagpasin ang mga musikang kanilang ihahandog na magpapakita rin ng kanilang talento sa pagkanta.
“Music is so close to my heart at noong nalaman kong yung character ko na si Kevin is really passionate about music, minahal ko agad siya,” saad ng Kapamilya actor.
“This soap gave me the opportunity to play instruments at iyon ‘yung hindi ko pa talaga naipapakita. Mas gusto ko pa lalo matutong mag-ukulele,” sabi naman ni Janella patungkol sa kung ano pa ang dapat abangan sa kanya sa serye.
Kaabang-abang ang mga eksenang mapapanood sa “Born for You” dahil bukod sa mga nakakikilig na mga tagpo ng serye, dapat ding abangan ang mga makapigil-hiningang tourist spots sa Japan tulad ng Mount Fuji at Shibuya Crossing kung saan kinuhaan ang ilan sa mga eksena ng palabas.
At bagama’t hindi pa nag-uumpisa ang serye ay kaliwa’t-kanang papuri na ang natatanggap nito. Consistent trending topic din ito sa social media at mainit na pinag-uusapan ng netizens.
Umiikot ang kuwento ng “Born for You” kina Sam (Janella) at Kevin (Elmo), dalawang taong itinadhana para sa isa’t-isa ayon na rin sa konsepto ng red string of fate na nagsasabing isang invisible string ang nagkukonekta sa dalawang taong nakatakda para sa isa’t-isa.
Musika ang maglalapit sa kanilang mga puso, ngunit ito rin ang magiging dahilan ng kanilang posibleng pagkakahiwalay dahil sa buhol-buhol na nakaraan ng kanilang mga magulang.
Anong tadhana kaya ang naghihintay para kina Sam at Kevin? Paano makaaapekto sa kanilang kapalaran ang mga pangyayari sa nakaraan? Maputol kaya ang invisible string na nagkukonekta sa kanila?
Kasama rin sa cast ng “Born for You” sina Ariel Riveral, Vina Morales, Ayen Laurel, Bernard Palanca, Gina Pareño, Freddie Webb, Jimboy Martin, Joj Agpangan, Francis Magundayao, Smokey Manaloto, Ogie Diaz, Katya Santos, DJ Durano, Alfred Labatos, Kyline Alcantara, Paulo O’hara, Neil Coleta, at Young JV. Ito ay sa ilalim ng direksyon ni Onat Diaz at Jon Villarin.
Huwag palampasin ang pag-uumpisa ng teleseryeng magpapatunay na mayroong nakatadhanang tao para sa lahat, ang “Born for You,” pagkatapos ng “Dolce Amore” sa ABS-CBN o sa ABS-CBN HD (SkyCable ch 167). Pwede ring mapanood ang past episodes ng palabas sa iWanTV.com o sa skyondemand.com.ph para sa Sky subscribers.
