Dylan Yturralde, Reign Parani, Jas Dudley-Scales, and Argel Saycon, were all game talking about the Star Magic All-Star Games to be held July 20 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
According to them, this year’s iteration is apt to be more exciting, with fan favorites mixing it up with fresh new faces for a day of thrilling, action-packed showdowns.
History is set to be made this year with the introduction of Men’s Volleyball—a first in the event’s storied run.
Suiting up for Team Smashers is PBB Gen 11’s Dylan Yturralde, who is actually a former setter for the University of the East.
“Medyo kinakabahan ako na masaya. I’m blessed kasi siyempre first time magkaroon ng Men’s volleyball sa Star Magic games. Ang winiwish ko lang nung mga past years ay makapanood eh. Pero ngayon maglalaro na ako,” Dylan said.
Returning for her third All-Star Games appearance is Reign Parani, who will join the roster of Team Lady Setters.
A familiar face from PBB Season 8: Teen Edition, Reign balances life as a student, beauty queen—having been crowned 2nd Runner-Up in the 2023 Binibining Pilipinas – and actress, taking on her first lead role in “Love at First Spike” opposite Emilio Daez.
She maintained, “We really put in extra effort to make it as authentic as possible…I really appreciate Emilio…hardworking po talaga siya. He’s a really nice guy, madali lang siya katrabaho, super light, and super golden retriever energy.”
She also shared her thoughts about returning to pageantry. “I’m fairly young, 21. For pageant age, it’s still young. Pero now that I’m back in the showbiz industry, I’d like to focus muna on what I have now.”
Also representing Team Lady Setters is Jas Dudley-Scales, another standout from PBB Gen 11.
Making her All-Star Games debut, Jas related, “No one really starts na magaling. I’m learning, slowly. They’re all very helpful naman and very sweet.”
When Jas and Argel were asked if they’re open to working as a love team, following the online buzz surrounding their ‘ArJas’ duo, Jas shared, “Yes, it’s been comfortable din naman kasi we’re both Bisaya din and friends pa before. Wala naman problema.”
Representing the Basketball department in the highly anticipated rematch between Team Shooting Stars and Cong TV’s Team Payaman, Argel, best known for his stint on Pinoy Big Brother: Season 8 – Adult Edition, is now making his fourth All-Star Games appearance.
Argel has successfully transitioned into acting, with an upcoming role in the indie film “Some Nights I Feel Like Walking.”
Renowned for his athleticism and dedication to fitness, he’s expected to be a key player and a dominant presence on the court.
He also talked about his upcoming film, saying, “Shinoot namin ‘yan 2023 pa. Naeexcite din ako kasi hindi ko pa napapanood. Kwento ito ng mga kabataan, mga hustlers talaga, so excited kaming mapakita ‘yun sa ibang tao para maintindihan natin sila.”
Adding even more star power to this year’s All-Star Games is a stellar lineup of beloved Kapamilya artists, including Gerald Anderson, Fyang Smith, JM Ibarra, BGYO’s Akira and JL, BINI’s Mikha Lim, and Donny Pangilinan—with many other appearances in store. Fans can expect an unforgettable day filled with thrilling plays, show-stopping energy, and their favorite stars going head-to-head in friendly competition.
