Former “Goin Bulilit” star Harvey Bautista and ex-“PBB” housemate Criza are to lead ABS-CBN Studios’ new youth-reality series “Zoomers.”
Harvey and Criza were selected among 18 Gen Z artists by ABS-CBN Star Magic and TV production head Laurenti Dyogi, blockbuster film director Theodore Boborol, and “He’s Into Her” director Chad Vidanes following a rigorous audition process.
The break is a “huge deal” for Harvey.
He told us, “Ito yung first project ko with a partner. It is something that I’ve been waiting for, and it is something that I’m thankful for. I want to make the bosses proud.”
Criza, who was part of the hit series “Kadenang Ginto” and “He’s Into Her,” on her part shared, “Ito yung first bida role ko under Star Magic at ABS-CBN yung may hawak. I’m so grateful and thankful na pinagkatiwalaan nila ako sa ganitong role. Ang number 1 na mapapangako ko is ibibigay ko yung 199% sa character ko. Isasabuhay ko si Hope.”
