TM Celebrates 20th with Ka-TM's Andrea Brillantes, Seth Fedelin and Alden Richards

This year's Independence Day rites wasn't all sad spent in the 4 corners of your home as TM channeled all the fun on social media last June 12th. The TM Double Dekada Pinoy Fiesta was streamed live via the TM Tambayan Facebook Page together with some of the country's brightest stars. TM is also celebrating their 20th year in the country in September, but they are starting the countdown as early as now with a big bang!

To start off, they've introduced their new Ka-TM's which includes teen sensations Seth Fedelin and Andrea Brillantes (also known as SethDrea) and the one and only Asia's Multimedia Star and Pambansang Bae Alden Richards. To join in the fun, the virtual stage was filled with the music and artistry of The Juans, the phenomenal SB19, the cool Matthaios and social media stars Donnalyn Bartolome and Riva Quenery. Add to that, the funny and crazy bunch of Parokya ni Edgar which had us all laughing hard during their segment. Viewers also got first dibs seeing the newest TM Doble Dekada music video starring the happy bunch of ka-TMs showcasing the latest campaign "Doble Dekada Sa Samahang Pina-Easy".

Globe's VP for Consumer Mobile Business Kristelle Dizon says "TM has worked tirelessly to make this 20th anniversary celebration the best one ever. We may have double the challenges this year, but we're going to fight together, carry on with our lives. TM is here, and we'll fight with you!"

The MULAT Media Launch

Marine Cadets/Students who went viral recently opened the event.

They call themselves a new digital platform and yes, it looks good from where I was at their launch in B Hotel in Quezon City. They’re called MULAT Media.

I guess with the advent of digital apps like what broadcasting corporations have been doing, a new player deems okay because the Filipinos have so much data consumption to do. The need to be entertained, informed and helped is there, Mulat Media wants to address this with their platform.

Real solutions to your real concerns. For your pleasure, the app contains programs to address social issues, legal matters, nostalgia, employing technology in media, making it the perfect place to see and hear the help you need. Film making with Happy Land (football with Tondo street kids), Ninja Party, will be discussed in Cine Mulat’s first few shows. WAVV Sessions will discuss indie performers and artists indulging in music. Liza Dino Seguerra will be spearheading the show The FDCP Hour, LGBTQ+ will have fun on the lifestyle show Pretty Little Bekis, for law related concerns, there’s the show Lex Fora. Arnel Ignacio, and Bea Rodriguez will do Mulat Presents (interviewing interesting personalities). If you like Horror in your life, take real stories of ordinary people via My Haunted Stories. There’s just a lot of shows you can enjoy in their platform and yes, it will all be free!

Meric Mara their creator shares “I am an open source advocate and I teach around the country, I could tell how they live, their joy and pain. I love this project and since I started in 1996, I have a lot of clients who have improved their businesses with technology. I looked at my friend who worked in media, and if we put the same technology, there is a big opportunity in this and blockchain technology. Media should provide content, correct and using positive approach. Not to be driven only by revenue, to create content and be instruments in nation building. That is where this all started, you should see more of this soon!”

Sophie Kintanar their CEO says “Thank you for your birthday surprise, I am so happy to have seen this all come true. There will be more, I can’t wait til you see the other shows we have lined up for you. Thank you for coming to our grand launch!”

In the event we also saw Kristel Fulgar (Youth Influencer), Benny Liwanag (who covered the Marawi Siege), Illac Diaz (who did Solar Power and Light NGO projects), Venecio Legaspi (Director for OFW Council of Leaders), Joy Belmonte’s rep, whom they gave Mulat Achievement Awards to.

Check out Mulat Media on FB, YouTube and IG. Their official website is MulatMedia.com and you can download the app on Google Play and watch the shows all day starting this October.

Jamie Rivera and The Company at the Music Museum

When I heard it was Jamie Rivera and the Company, I couldn’t help but wonder where they’ve been and what have they been doing. Their music has inspired millions of people over the years and continued to do so til now. I’ve seen and heard teens listen to their songs tirelessly and with gusto, which is why this new concert they are doing on the 14th of February at the Music Museum just came at the right time. It’s called “Jamie in Perfect Company.” 

Moy says "Our demographics are more or less our age but we do have a younger audience too, we have new OPM and we feel we have a renaissance of music and the late 70's and the 80's have been brought back by indie artists and people are getting inspired especially in Spotify. We Jaime and the Company will be doing new songs but it will be a surprise. People pigeon hole us, but we can do more than just pretty love songs. Jamie can do comedy, musical theater, we do too. We're going to be giving them songs from the stage and contemporary, we are doing this all plus inspirational music. There is one section where we will be singing each other's songs but we have to keep it under wraps."

Ms. Annie says "Hugot is still going to be there because it is an aspect of love, so we will be making it part of the show."

Jaime says "I'll be singing those songs you love, but I'll be doing new ones and I hope to see you there so you know how we are going to do it. We also have covers and you have to watch out for that. We do not usually celebrate Valentine's Day because we are at work, it's a busy time for us and it's good."

Jamie known for her songs “Hey It’s Me”, “Awit Para Sayo”, and “I’ve Fallen For You”, plus the World Youth Day anthem “Tell the World of his Love”. I also love The Company for their hits “Muntik Na Kitang Minahal”, “Now That I Have You”. Their members have come and gone but now have Annie Quintos, Moy Ortiz, OJ Mariano and Sweet Plantado. Tickets will be sold on Ticketworld and Music Museum for Php 3950, Php 3450, Php 1450 (VVIP, VIP and Silver). Make sure you follow @StarMusicPH for updates and more shows very soon. 

This is produced by Star Events and CCC Productions. It feels and seems so good to be with them on Valentine's Day.
