Showcasing Hard Work and Brilliance: The Brilliant Awards 2023

Just got off the Brilliant Awards 2023, The Brightest of All Time. Brilliant Skin Inc. holds events like these annually to honor the regional leaders, franchisees, distributors of their cosmetic products in the country. Clad in their most gorgeous white and pink shimmering outfits, they were all welcomed at the Newport Performing Arts Theatre in Pasay City by Brilliant Skin CEO Glenda Dela Cruz.

Ms. Glenda says "This night is all for you, I know there are a lot of people who came from the Cordilleras, Region 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, Bangsamoro and NCR. You are the ones who are really brilliant."

She adds "We have been able to weather through the challenges of 2023. We had fears, uncertainty, and I thought everything would be gone. I learned to be grateful, and to tell you honestly, I'm a better version now. My life is an open book now, I let go of people that I loved and accepted it even though it was difficult. We made waves when we started our Pinakamakinang events in Araneta, and now we are in Malaysia with our TikTok shop, and with our online platform in countries like Dubai (UAE), Malaysia, and soon in Singapore. We did this because of you. We continue to work hard, and I hope this goes the same with all of you. This proves that no matter what they say, you stand behind me all the way. I won't be wasting your trust. I thank God for saving me so many times, and he has done so much for me."

 

After personally thanking the "Brilliants", a term she coined for those who support her, she began showing her gratitude with the tons of celebrity performers she prepared for them. With the likes of Mariel Padilla and Luis Manzano as their hosts, model and actor Daniel Matsunaga, song and dance numbers from international stars 4th Impact and talk of the town Andrea Brillantes, everyone was just so glad to be in the midst of their endorsers who went there to just perform for them. Add to that singers JK Labajo, Kyle Echarri, Jason Dy, good looking actor Paulo Avelino, our golden boy Alden Richards, rock phenom Kean Cipriano and KZ Tandingan brought the house down as each of the winners were announced on stage. It was really nice to see how the crowd reacted when people from their own region was called, and how proud they really are.

Ms. Glenda was so thankful that despite her recent health challenges, they were all able to gather in one place so she could personally spend time with them, to take photos, talk and thank them for the hard work they put in for Brilliant Skin.

Here's some scenes we caught on video that evening!

ALLTV Starts Broadcast With All Star Event

ALLTV started their broadcast operations with a bang with a stellar lineup of stars last September 13 in the evening. Viewers were treated with their favorite Wowowin filled with artist appearances, song and dance numbers, plus the insane games, hosting banter that Willie Revillame is known for. Aside from that, they also featured Toni Gonzaga's interview with Bongbong Marcos which was exclusively shown in the new channel.

 

Ceremonies started at 12 noon and lasted the whole day with AMBS Executives, Toni's pilot show, and Willie Revillame's antics flexing his comedy program bringing entertainment to thirsty viewers. How big was the event? Let's just say they gave out two units of houses from BRIA and Lumina Homes on Wowowin. They also gave away cash prizes, big prizes every hour to make sure TV viewing would be fun all over again with ALLTV.

AMBS President Ms. Maribeth Tolentino says "Our new channel is for the Filipino and what we want to happen is keep them entertained and happy. This is why we've prepared huge shows just for you. Rest assured, we'll have new progams to change your TV viewing experience wth ALLTV."

 

AMBS is under Prime Assets Ventures Inc. of Manuel Paolo Villar, under the auspices of the Villar Group of companies. As of today, the personalities that joined AMBS include Willie Revillame, Toni Gonzaga, her husband Paul Soriano, Ciara Sotto, and Mariel Rodriguez. There are some photos that surfaced today that included Julia Baretto, but we haven't had any confirmation as of this writing. Aside from that, there's now a partnership with CNN Philippines to manage their nightly news program that will be done on primetime. 

 

They are now live on free to air TV, scan your digibox also to get their channel. They are also on Cignal and other cable operators, so make sure you re-scan to see the new shows. 

ALLTV Welcomes Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla

Looks like the talents keep pouring in for new TV station AMBS2 as talented host Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla signed with ALLTV. It's been on test broadcast in the last few days and programs are still being conceptualized, but thinking about what she's done in previous shows, it'll be easy to add in her hosting skills among other things she can do.

She was welcomed by AMBS President Ms. Maribeth Tolentino and says "She will be fun to see especially by our entertainment viewers. I could see how she's been loved by Moms as she's someone they can relate to. All I can say is welcome to ALLTV Mariel, and we're looking forward to work with you!"

The event was held at Mella Hotel last September 8 and she will be part of several talents that ALLTV has acquired over the past few weeks, ramping up their programming to start operations in the next few days. She was also with Boy Abunda, AMBS CFO Maryknoll Zamora and AMBS General Counsel Atty. TJ Mendoza during the short program. For those who don't know, Advanced Media Broadcasting System (AMBS Channel 2) is under Prime Assets Ventures, Inc. which is headed by Manuel Paolo Villar. This is under the Villar Group.

Mariel was ecstatic and says "I am so grateful for the opportunities given to me by ALLTV, and be assured I'll be part of shows that will certainly make people happy. That's all I want to do!"

She has also worked with Willie Revillame in previous shows, so her addition will be something familiar. Recently, Ciara Sotto, Toni Gonzaga, Paul Soriano and Anthony Taberna joined the network. ALLTV also is partnering with CNN Philippines to work on News Night their primetime news program airing weekdays.

As of this writing, AMBS has started operations on free to air TV. They are also available on digi boxes and Cable channels across the country.
