Bela Padilla Joins DAYOFF on their 9th Year!

We're live blogging from Movie Stars Cafe at the MOA grounds to celebrate what seems to be a great way to welcome someone special to join the long running show DAYOFF. It's been running for 9 years now and today we're hearing from the grapevine that it's Bela Padilla who's joining the show.

Pekto started off by thanking everyone for being with them all these years and he reminisced on how many co hosts he's been with... and left him already. Still, he's thankful for the years they've been together and it was really hard on some occasion. Mae was a segment producer back when Carmina and Pekto were the hosts. She's still part of the show but now is in front of the camera and thanks DAYOFF for the opportunity. It has changed her life in a way and she's excited for the future episodes now that Bela is here. 

Bela thanked the staff, production and crew and told us about her adventures taping episodes of Dayoff. She also gave us a sneek peek of the show where she's already a regular host. 

Pekto also told us that he doesn't know why his co hosts left him. It's probably because the challenges are already getting hard and they probably also felt that it was time to move on. Mae said it would be fun because you'll se her more in the upcoming episodes. Bela says she's ready for the challenges and she sees this as an opportunity to go out there. They chose Bela because of her keen sense of picking up jokes, humor and the way she can play with the team of DAYOFF. They are doing this show for the people who are working hard everyday, that's what Bela thinks and she's going to be seen regularly now.

They've got fears but there would be more time to face them and experience it first hand by being in the show. Best of all, you would be able to see them do it on TV every week!

Thanks to GMA Social Media, DAYOFF's production, GMA Artist Center, their sponsors Movie Stars Cafe, Nuat Thai, Hawk Bags, Nisce Skin n Face Center and all the guys who made this event possible. Thank you for letting us cover it!  :)

Chef Boy Logro, Kevin Santos and Pekto Celebrates Birthday with Street Kids

Birthday boys Pekto, Kevin Santos and Chef Boy Logro

These guys from GMA's stable starting with comedian Pekto, actor Kevin Santos and the nation's well loved Chef Boy Logro celebrated their birthday at the post Quezon City Sports Club just a few days ago. They got kids from Onesimo Bulilit Foundation, a charity center from Quiapo in Manila to be their beneficiary this day. That's because they all love kids. I guess pretty much like some of the media guests, it's their first time in a place like that. I actually had my Junior-Senior Prom in this place (the bigger ballroom) a couple of years ago and this is kinda exclusive. Letting the kids and some of their parents experience that alone is a big deal. Aside from that, instead of the celebrants getting the gits... the kids will be the ones getting lots of perks because as Pekto, Kevin and Chef Boy says... they want them to be extremely happy that day!

Pekto, Kevin and Chef Boy saw how the kids were all so excited to see them when they came out and they obliged to of course greet, kiss and hug a couple of them when they came on stage. Together with Tess Bomb, they hosted the program and got magicians, artists and  a mascot which the kids enjoyed!

They got Face Painting sessions too! These kids were too cute!

A very touching scene when I saw kids hugging Chef Boy Logro that afternoon

The kids also enjoyed food and gifts from Chef Boy Logro's sponsor Mekeni. They had some of the best hotdogs ever! Other sponsors Sisig Hooray, Petrol, Goldilocks, Zagu, Minute Burger, Happy House Donuts, Leon Philippe (who's got milk!), Sweet Escape (the best caramel cupcakes!), Sweet Retreat, Yanyan International (who provided OK Quench Sparkling Juice drinks) were all there to share what they have for the kids too. It was an awesome afternoon organized by the good people of GMA Artist Center and Pekto, Kevin and Chef Boy thanked them for letting them spend these day with the kids that afternoon. Thank you also to Quezon City Sports Club for chipping in.

Kevin Santos and Pekto will be in a new program called "Ismol Family" which will be starred by Ryan Agoncillo and Carla Abellana. You make sure you stay tuned for that these coming week.

Chef Boy Logro will be seen still on Chef Boy Logro: Kusina Master plus his new show "Basta Everyday Happy" which is a new variety show which he'll be together with Gladys Reyes, Donita Rose and Alessandra de Rossi. It's already being enjoyed by people every morning and he's still whipping up your favorite dishes there.

Happy happy birthday Pekto, Kevin and Chef Boy! We know that you will stay blessed because you've got good hearts! :)
