WEST PHILIPPINE SEA | WPS Defenders Premiere on VIVA ONE and DZRH Platforms Today

Just got out of Manila Hotel's Maynila ballroom where WPS : West Philippine Sea Defenders first episode was premiered ahead for members of the press, some Navy men, women and VIP's. We also got to interview a few of their stars before the event and saw entertainment from them as well with "Concert with the Stars" that happened later in the day.

 A part of me wishes to tell you the whole story, but for starters, it's a hodgepodge of reality and fiction. Much of the cast including Rannie Raymundo, Lance Raymundo, Diana Menezes, Ayanna Misola, Mossimo Scofield, Jerica Madrigal, Lala Vinzon, Roi Vinzon, Ali Forbes, AJ Raval, Aljur Abrenica (though he wasn't there), were playing fictional characters that were aimed to protect the country from the hands of the Communist Kingdom of Manchuria. It was a different kind of war because it delved much into "perceptions", which mostly happens on the internet and AI. You'll get worried mostly about how they imply that the enemies are already here, and heavily invested with the real clips from news sourced videos.  I guess that's why they are producing this, to make sure you get the side of the oppressed and make that fire burn inside and do what you can to protect this country of ours... in whatever way shape and form.

 

Here's a few of the stars we got to talk to that afternoon:

 

 

Oh and yes, if you think this is heroic, these artists didn't get paid their talent fees for participating in this. They just sincerely believe in the cause, and even VIVA didn't get management charges to help with this. The film is produced by Dr. Michael Raymond Aragon who leads the Social Media Broadcasters ng Pilipinas Inc. movement. He was very excited about this too.

Now if you want to watch it, the series starter will be available today at the VIVA ONE app and DZRH on cable and their free to air channels. They are in the works to also show this in other networks, but while they are in talks, you can see it on the platforms we mentioned earlier. The things we watched was certainly entertaining, but folks can learn a lot from it.

Naughty Platform GOBLIN Releases Debut Film "THE LAST RESORT" on the 26th

 

There's certainly more room for entertainment options as a new player arrives in the content streaming industry. It's called Goblin, which would be available on their official website on the 26th and is subscription based. They will be  featuring their first film called "The Last Resort" which stars Erin Ocampo, Paolo Paraiso, Oliver Aquino and Rolando Inocencio. They will also introduce Mia Alvarez, Chloe Garcia and Czarina Chong in this film which they categorize as naughty and intended for a more mature audience. This is directed by Dave Lao and Jay Altajeros, produced by Dave Lao and Richard Perez under Goblin Films.

Oliver Aquino plays Robert who's wife Emily (played by Erin Ocampo) who's in the middle of a failing marriage, embark on a journey to a private resort in the countryside in hopes of saving their relationship. Different things happen along the way plus, a frightening experience when they get to the resort, testing if this trip would save their love and perhaps... their lives.

Aside from that, they've got a second film in the works starring Long Mejia and Diana Menezes. It's called TALPAKAN and is Directed by Jay Altajeros. The cast includes Kristoff Garcia, Maragarette Sison, Sofia David and Ann Pomer. As the platform's name suggest, again, this is a naughty film. This one though will tickle your funny bones, or wherever you need it. He was also there at the press conference to say hi to the media. It'll probably be out on October. They are still developing their app which they hope to finish either on December or January next year (according to Mr. Dave Lao). He also adds that this will include a huge library of movies as they've been able to secure several films, productions, particularly Solar Films (including their classics). 

Here's the press conference on video:

The plan is also to gather even more artists in the production outfit, to eventually make more content available on the new platform. If you're interested to be as naughty as they are, get the subscription for only Php 129 (GCash and other digital payments accepted). That's extremely affordable for a month, hopefully they'll have even better packaged plans soon at goblinfilms.com! 

Can't wait to see what GOBLIN has up their sleeves!

NOTE: Heard they closed down the corp because of some issues with payment systems not allowing their platform. Please be advised!
