This is a thread for the Philippine Series UNDERAGE.

UNDERAGE is a remake of the hit classic teen flick of regal films which has become the launchpad of three of the best and most respected actresses in the Philippine film industry:Dina Bonnevie, Snooky Serna, and Maricel Soriano. Their original roles will now be portrayed by three of the most precious and talented young stars of today's generation. They are Melissa Ricks, Lauren Young and Empress Schuck. This will also feature other young stars, Matt Evans, AJ Perez, Rafael Rosell and Valeen Montenegro.

SYNOPSIS:
UnderAGE is a coming-of-age story of three young sisters (Celina, Cecilia and Corazon), who grew up in the province and knew no other love except that which their mother has showered upon them. In their town, their neighbors look down on their family and see their mother as an immoral for having been impregnated by three different men who are all Americans. Gifted with beauty, intelligence and charm, they grew up to be apathetic and stubborn teenagers who deem each other and their mother as the only important people in their world. But what if fate suddenly turns against them and takes their mother away? They’d be forced to a whole new life, encounter new people, face disasters, meet the first men in their lives, and learn the most important lessons their mother failed to teach them. Can their strong and naughty acts get them through all the hardships? Can their devilish horns be transformed into halos?

Melissa Ricks as Celina (role previously portrayed by Dina Bonnevie)
Empress Schuck as Cecilia (role previously portrayed by Maricel Soriano)
Lauren Young as Corazon (role previously portrayed by Snooky Serna)

Translated ARTICLE: by jeany

Star Magic stars play wholesome but sexy roles in ‘Your Song Presents Underage

Your Song Presents: Underage brings a whole new twist to the movie classic which originally starred Dina Bonnevie, Maricel Soriano, and Snooky Serna. “In our version of Underage, we followed the original story. It is a story of 3 country girls, how their lives turned out when they transferred to the city and how they met the first men in their lives. But that’s the only similarity with the original. In terms of treatment, it is very different. Most of you watched probably the original version and we know that it’s a camp classic. Our treatment of this remake is not campy. It’s more real, it’s updated and more truthful,” said Director Manny Palo during their press conference last Wednesday, February 25.

This is why it was unnecessary for Melissa Ricks, Empress Schuck, Lauren Young, Matt Evans, Rafael Rosell, and AJ Perez to watch the original version because they were required to add a modern touch to their roles. Fortunately for Direk Manny, he didn’t even have to convince Melissa and Matt to show more skin in this project. “The first project that I did in ABS-CBN was also a Your Song, featuring the two of them. The theme of that episode was unwanted pregnancy and young marriage. Matt and Melissa had their first kissing scene and love scene in that episode. They said that for this UNDERAGE episode, they’re willing to go more daring, more adventurous. So I guess they can go a little more daring,” he reasoned.

But even though Underage was shot back in the ‘80s, the cast then had really portrayed a lot of sexy scenes like men being seen in their underwear or women who are out to seduce as many boys as they can. Will this still reflect on the TV version knowing that children could easily tune in to its Sunday afternoon airtime? “It’s all in the treatment. Of course I am working with underage actors so every scene should be handled with care. At the same time, there will be unforgettable scenes like when the 3 girls are taking a bath in the bathroom, Matt will accidentally have a peek on them. Mel will take revenge. She's going to do a different kind of striptease at the waterstream where they will have their first date. She really took off her clothes one by one, and even her underwear. It is exciting as well as the scenes before and after that,” he further explained.

There are also lots of valuable lessons to be learned through this show. Even the cast members admitted that they have come to appreciate their personal experiences as teenagers because of this project. “What I like about being underage is that, you get to experience a lot of stuff. Like what Matt said, you’re still dependent on your parents so there’s no real pressure. You still get to experiment and enjoy life while you’re still young,” exclaimed Lauren.

Empress on the other hand is grateful to have her mom to guide her in making decisions. “Ever since my “Ang TV” days, she has been with me until now. That’s what I like, even though I get passed my underage years, I still would like to have her beside me.” Melissa was quick to agree. “Maybe because when you’re underage, you don’t have to worry about so many things because your parents take care of everything and you get away with anything you’re still young. You still don’t know the what’s right or wrong. That’s what you should watch out for in Underage, the mistakes that we will commit, and how we will be able to fix them.”

Hi there!

I have come across with this thread and it's good to hear that you want to put subtitles on AJ and Laurens's shows. Great idea! I'm not really an avid fan of them though but I still support them even in my own little ways.

I would be interested to help, too, in subtitling. But then, I've visited your thread in pex and have read that you wanted to abolish the subbing team. Sad to hear that. Well, as for me, I can really help in the translations since after work I don't really have much to do. I'm just at home surfing the net. It would be better if I have a subtitle editor, too, so that the work will be done faster. Unfortunately, I don't have one yet.

I have watched the video you have mentioned above and in fairness you did a good job in putting the subs.

Anyways, just let me know if you need my help.

Sure! I'm just a new member of PEX though. Not much into that site but I guess I need to now since I'm already a part of a Subbing Team. Yey!

By the way, I think you're the same jeansile at AF. Am I right? The one who posted a thread on Underage. Well, I'm also a member of that site that's why. I just use a different name there. It's sugarsweet.

What subtitle editor are you using, by the way? I have experience in putting subs using overstream so I guess I can help in timing and encoding, too.
