Looks like the memories will come crashing back in as SOME KIND OF VALENTINE will be showing at the Newport Performing Arts Theater this coming February 3 and 4. This will be headlined by iconic actors Tirso Cruz III, Edgar Mortiz, Christopher de Leon and the gorgeous Lovi Poe. Aside from these guys and lovely lady, they will also be featuring Kanishia, Mel Villena and the AMP Band.
Director Alco Guerrero says "We have lots of realizations and the 15-20 piece band will surely be playing the classics so I'm excited to do this."
Bobot Mortiz adds "The last Valentine show I had was with the bad bananas, and we also introduced Zsazsa Padilla at the time, this time we have Lovi. Hopefully our fans, we will have to dig up some of them, would be able to watch this two night concert."
Christopher de Leon says "This is gonna be filled with laughter, lots of fun and will have familiar songs from our time. There will be duets, it's gonna be wacky and real singing. I promise, it's going to be fun!"
Lovi says "I know, I was a little afraid to stand with icons on stage, but it's been a while since we have performed so this is the perfect time to celebrate love with everybody."
Sir Tirso says "It'll be so much fun because we will have a different arrangement for these songs and there are so much songs that we plan to sing, from 60's, 70's to 80's hits, the classics and you'll get to reminisce how we enjoyed music since then. There will also be comedy portions in between songs which I am sure you'll surely enjoy!"
Tickets cost 8K for Platinum, 7K for SVIP, 6K for VIP, 5K for Gold, 3,5K for Silver and 1,5K for Bronze. Head on to SM Tickets to get them all and enjoy the show!
Looks like things are going Lovi Poe's way as she officially joins ABSCBN today. The former Kapuso star just signed a network contract today and rumors have been spreading that she's going to do a KDrama project this year.
Well, they squashed the rumors and immediately confirmed it by telling us that the KDrama adaptation is going to happen, the original piece is Flower of Evil and Lovi will star in this project together with the one and only Piolo Pascual. Photos of the actress with Papa P has been posted on the IG account of Lovi's manager Leo V. Dominguez. They look so happy there!
Lovi says "When they told me I will be working with Piolo, I was excited! It was an actual dream when we met today, it's such an amazing project and pairing with him is just amazing! Actually we talked about the time when he mentioned that he wanted to work with me. That was 4 or 5 years ago. Now it's happening. We get to work together!"
It's been a while since we've all gone out to the cinemas and from the looks of it, it's going to take a few more months before pandemic restriction eases, which is understandable because of the dangers of COVID19.
The industry has grown, and the Philippines has showcased a ton of films outside the country where it has met a lot of appreciation. This year, they are going to continue to do the FILM AMBASSADORS NIGHT for 2021. This is ultimately, to recognize the men and women who has done remarkable things for the Philippine film industry and FDCP will be spearheading it again this year.
According to Chairman Liza Dino "It was the last event that FDCP mounted before the pandemic last year, we didn't realize how big of an impact it would have in our sector. It's been a year, and we are still here, but we should reflect and be grateful about this. It's hard and we haven't recovered fully as we have workers who have no work, but this year, we hope this sparks hope, in an industry that has gotten accolades amidst the pandemic. This is our way of celebrating our filmmakers, to promote our stories, our cinema, to represent us in different parts of the world. While we are celebrating, we are bringing recognition to people who did so good despite the pandemic, to reflect what is important we have come together to get through hardships, we didn't expect this as an agency and we all are experiencing this. I hope in this first event, it will be an opportunity to unite and share this experience to celebrate what good things that happened in 2020 and look forward to more this 2021 to all our projects, programs and initiatives."
Among those to be recognized are Dingdong Dantes, Arjo Atayde, Lovi Poe, Elijah Canlas, Alden Richards, Allen Dizon, Cheri Gil, Alfred Vargas, Angel Aquino, Ronwaldo Martin, Ruby Ruiz, Isabel Sandoval, Louise Abuel and Cristine Reyes. There will be more!
Award Winning Documentaries will also be honored
Part of those who will be recognized during the award night are two very talented teams under GMA News and Public Affairs, BRIGADA and Atom Araullo Specials which have been praised in other countries and won Bronz and Silver awards for their documentaries about Aetas and the other about poor people selling their babies online. We got updates about the cases via chat as Ms. Kara and her team responded to our questions there too. Their real clamor is to have these be acted upon by the government and have them be given what is due them since they have fought during World War II.
"From Kara Patria David to Everyone: 04:47 PM
nilapit na po sa PVAO yung case but the authorities claim na hindi raw maestablish ang idenitities nila they are still trying to appeal their case thank you for the question. i try to help my case studies in any way i can. i have a scholarship foundation for poor filipino children. pero sadly kulang pa rin ang dami pang kailangan tulungan salamat Film Development Council of the Phils for this honor"
"From James Dalusung to Everyone: 04:44 PM
dagdagan ko lang po yung sinabi ni Ms. Kara, kailangan po mag produce ng mga aetas ng mga id's to claim. since wala po kahit birth certificate ang karamihan sa kanila, up to now wala pa rin silang nakukuhang benepisyo."
Here's part of that talk we had earlier
The Film Ambassadors Night 2021 will be held online on the FDCP channel. This is their 5th installment and the nice thing is, a lot of actors have won worldwide. Hopefully, you would get to know these films and recognize why they won and brought prestige for the country. This is also done to coincide national arts month of NCCA. Bamboo, Tres Marias, Bituin Escalante, several crooners and artists will be there for honorees. This is a good way of recognizing film makers especially those who have excelled in the international arena. Award winners, embassies from other countries will be there and it would be a good venue to learn more about the film industry even for artists, directors who would like to excel in the craft. Visit fdcpchannel.ph to know more about this or to watch the actual awards night.
