MANILA, PHILIPPINES — On Monday, August 22, ABS-CBN announced that the hit Wattpad novel “Teen Clash” will be the basis for a television series starring Markus Paterson, Jayda Avanzado, and Aljon Mendoza.

“When I initially heard about ‘Teen Clash,’ I had serious writer’s block when working on my second album. I also had the same issue while filming a separate scene for RISE. So I was very eager to start the production after having the chance to read parts of the script,” Paterson says on getting the part.
On the other hand, Mendoza was already familiar with the original material when he was assigned the task.
“Pinakikialamanan ko lang dati ‘yung ‘Teen Clash’ book ng ate ko tapos ngayon gaganap na ako sa character ni Ice, Who would have thought? Grateful and excited about this,” he tweeted.
(I only borrowed the Teen Clash book from my sister before and now I will be portraying Ice’s character.)

“I’m so excited for you to meet Zoe! I’m grateful for this fantastic opportunity,” she said.
The adaptation of “Teen Clash” by Black Sheep comes after the massive success of “He’s Into Her,” an ABS-CBN series based on a Wattpad novel starring Belle Mariano and Donny Pangilinan. –WhatALife!/Brix
