Korean singer-actor-host Alexander "Xander" Lee Eusebio recently celebrated his birthday in the Philippines. The lead actor for the upcoming Kapuso rom-com series My Korean Jagiya talked about what happened during his special day.


"I knew that there was going to be a birthday dinner, but I did not know that it would be so beautiful, she [Heart Evangelista] made the whole dinner. You know, the table settings, and all the GMA staff here, and the cast, and the crew [were there.]"

He concluded, "It was really amazing, one of the best birthday I've ever had." 
The actor turned 29-years-old last July 29.

Gia pictures Jun Ho as her ideal man after falling in love with his seemingly perfect drama characters and his acting skills.

GMA Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe Gozon talked about the project, "I think this is the first time it's being done, and we are very glad that we are partnering, you know the Koreans produce really good TV programs, so this our chance to show our Filipino viewers what our station also can do."
