An actress from the Philippines, Shaina Magdayao, used a Twilight analogy to explain why she broke up with her actor boyfriend, John Pratts, and what she’s looking for in the future. She told the Phillippines Daily Inquirer:
“I like men who are mature. Guys like Jacob are still young and adventurous. They always want to explore,” Shaina explained. “I want to be able to look up to the person I’m with. With Edward [types], I feel I can discuss so many things. I find Edward very interesting. He has so many experiences in life that he can share with a girl. I want to be with a partner who is like him.”
Lexicon readers may remember that roughly a year ago there was a rumor that ran wild on the Internet for a weekend that there would be a Twilight TV series in the Philippines, and that it would star Shaina. In fact there was even a fake poster to (see left) to go along with the rumor.

its kinda cool that twilight is known all over the world now. wow, and i think that actress is gorgeous. how do you say her last name? for anyone who’s heard of her?
mogg die yow
sorta like mahg-dah-yaw Magdayao. *proud to be from the Philippines*
well, goodluck with finding someone like edward.
Oh well, typical filipina actress = NO BRAINS! Can’t even make her own sentences without referring to a book. Twilight is awesome but can you please not refer to the book?! your corrupting it with ur corny sh*+!
how would you know that Filipina actresses have no brains? aren’t you being the ignorant one? research on filipina sexy commediene rufa mae quinto who actually graduated from the University of the Philippines. That’s the number 1 university in the country. Also, i have a friend who graduated from the same school and is cum laude in theater arts.
are you discriminating? talk to me in tagalog. let’s see who’s the genius here. are you bilingual?
Please contain yourself, Jamie. Nakahiya ka. Ano ka, bata? Thanks.
I’m actually not surprised she would think that of John Pratts. He looks really young physically and mentally, and I’d imagine Shaina Magdayao, just like most girls, is looking for someone more mature. Girls, after all, mature faster than boys.
she’s not stupid , she’s just explaining what kind of guy she likes for her future boyfriend. she’s just taking edward and jacob for an example !
hey wag naman kayo mag-away dito nakakahiya.
heaven forbid this be made as a local series *shudders*
there’s a filipino actor who actually reminds me of rpattz–maybe it’s the intensity of his stare also. try searching for him, his name is mark anthony fernandez.
thank gosh it wasn’t made a local series…..it’s as if Filo orignality is not deteriorating enough (btw, i’m Filo. so don’t bash me) but to make Twilight into a Filo version….thank gosh that nightmare was never be….
Yes I agree! Thank GOD it was not made as a local series! Makes me cringe! @wow- Mark Anthony Fernandez??! Man are you serious???? Yeah i think he looks like Robert Pattinson’s ass!
