Zaijian Jaranilla and Jane Oineza shed their child-star images in Si Sol at Si Luna, a digital series that explores themes of grief, longing, and love that doesn’t follow the rules. Jaranilla delivers his most daring performance yet as Sol, a young film student in search of creative inspiration, who finds himself drawn to Luna, an older woman carrying emotional wounds. Their connection leads them into a complicated relationship shaped by timing, age gaps, and the ache of past losses.

The series was formally introduced during a star-studded press conference held on May 16 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. It marks another major step for Puregold Channel, which previously found success with its digital hits My Plantito and Ang Lalaki sa Likod ng Profile. With Si Sol at Si Luna, the brand pushes further into cinematic storytelling and more emotionally layered narratives.

For Jaranilla, the role marks a defining moment in his career as he takes on his first onscreen intimate scene—a moment of growth not only for the actor but for the evolving space of Philippine “retailtainment.”

While Si Sol at Si Luna includes sensual moments, its deeper strength lies in how it examines the fragility of connection, and the courage it takes to love despite personal pain and societal expectations.

For Puregold Senior Marketing Manager Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, the wistful insights depicted in ‘Si Sol at si Luna’ are what make it more than just your garden variety romcom.

“At its core, the series is about love—but not the kind that comes easy,” says Hayagan-Piedad. “It asks: Where do we find love? What do we do with it when it comes at the most unexpected time? Luna’s story is about loving through grief. Sol’s is about loving through transformation. Whether love can survive both—that’s the question the audience will ponder on.”

With ‘Si Sol at Si Luna’, Puregold Channel is staking its claim as a powerhouse content studio—one that blends commercial value with creative boldness. This is where sharp writing meets honest emotion. Where full-length narratives meet bite-sized platforms. And where every Filipino, no matter where they are, can watch themselves reflected in stories worth telling.

Visibly excited at the press conference were the series leads Zaijian Jaranilla and Jane Oineza, as well as supporting members of the star-studded cast, including Joao Constancia, Uzziel Delamide, Vaughn Piczon, Lyle Viray, Jem Manicad, Marnie Lapus, and the breakout star, Atasha Franco.

‘Si Sol at si Luna’ will drop its very first episode on the Puregold Channel on YouTube on May 31, with a new episode set to be released every Saturday thereafter.
