Waaaahhh!!!! I am looking forward to seeing Ken Zhu in a Philippine production to be shown early December of this year. It is entitled “Batanes…Sa Dulo Ng Walang Hanggan, ” an independent movie under Ignite Films and directed by Adolf Calix.
From what I understand, he portrays here the role of a Taiwanese fisherman whose boat got a mechanical failure which led him to set foot on the so-called Philippine paradise, Batanes. There he will meet a beautiful young widow, played by Iza Calzado, and thus, a love story begins.
I wonder how these two lead characters would understand each other where one speaks in Mandarin and the other in Filipino. That’s what we have to find out. So if I were you, better not miss this one.
By the way, Ken is part of this Taiwanese phenomenal boy group “F4” who shot to meteoric fame after their series “Meteor Garden” became a hit in the region.
Being a Filipino, I am proud to hear that he fell in love with Batanes to think that he is already well-traveled. He didn’t know that there is a piece of paradise south of his country. I am sure he didn’t regret his decision to accept this offer in spite the absence of blessing from his management, Fu Long Entertainment.
Ken is used to being followed by paparazzis and fans everywhere he goes, but here he was totally surprised ’coz he became a normal person once again…he was able to do what he wants like driving a motorcycle without being hounded by reporters and fans.
Actually, Ken only had praises on the province, its people, his Filipino counterparts and the movie’s production team. That’s unimaginable from him because he is known for being snob and “mataray”. But here, he was humbled by the experience so he plans to do another production in the said place with the same team in the future.
Though I do not consider myself his big fan, I am very much excited for this movie. I obviously adore Taiwanese actors and seeing one in a local production is a whole new experience. I just hope it would be a resounding success so this would open-up for other Asian collaborations. Women ai ni, Xiao Tian!

I'm definitely looking forward to this movie. No doubt, it will showcase Batanes' unspoiled beauty to the whole world. Ken and Izza make a great couple on-screen. Their chemistry and charisma will surely be a hit!
