New Lifestyle Show "Fun With Philip" at GMA News TV

If you've been watching him in TV5 these past few months and thinking of what happened to his show, well it looks like he's bearing good news. An afternoon at the Crispy Pata haven Livestock Restaurant and Bar at Sgt. Esguerra in Quezon City answered all our questions about Philip The Lifestyle Guy. This time, you'll be seeing him in GMA News TV Channel 11 and it'll be called "Fun with Philip".

Philip Abadicio has been doing this beat for years even when he started putting up his PR company a long time ago; and part of that's dealing with lifestyle. It was at this time that he deemed it his calling. His mantra is to make this show as accessible to everyone as he believes lifestyle news isn't just for the rich and famous.

Asked if they are reformatting the show, Philip says that in a recent survey in Inquirer shows that the reason why the program works is because it is in a "constant state of flux" - meaning that it does not have a specific formula and you don't know if they'll talk about food today or if a contest will happen. They will be doing the same thing once they transfer to GMA News TV but looks forward to add more features like asking people who watch the show to send in letters of their lifestyle issues so they can help in whatever way they can. 

 

Online and on air, they will still continue to bring bigger and better contests for the viewers because they've already gotten a tremendous amount of people following their promos. They will also introduce "Fun Kicks" - a group of individuals that would be able to accurately answer your questions since Philip wants this to be a more informative show. We also do sometimes forget that we need to course our program to a more holistic one - and advocacy aspect to answer questions about spiritual, fitness, fashion and beauty. 

 

The show will air at 3PM every Saturday and Sunday. You can only do so much to surprise people but Philip says he wants to do that and not bore those who watch his show. He hopes to show how it is out there and have them experience it themselves. Philip adds "We're trying to not have it to be too celebrity-ish and put real people in the show. When it come to the other aspects, I'll try to have it be discussed by subject matter experts themselves. This is a new and exciting show!". The show is Directed by Tootoots Leyesa and Written by former Wowowee head writer Rod Divinagracia who was in Boracay and couldn't be there that afternoon.

Watch out also for the new segments "Kwentuhang Kumot" where Philip interviews stars under the sheets. Also in the program is American Jeffrey Whitney that he'll tour and taste with around the Philippines while interviewing him in Filipino. Lucky Mercado will also be in "Lucky Strikes" as the goes around the places where Philip is... and plays an arrogant machismo driven dude - let's see how that turns out in the story. I've also seen Madam Venus tell street dwellers their fortunes and that was hilarious... she's the next Mommy D! Let Bryan Santos also teach you the latest workout and fitness routines right in the gym on his portion as an "Exercise Expert" plus see Hilda Ehrenberg strut her stuff on the runway as fashion diva "Bru-Hilda" takes a snap on what's new in the fashion industry. Hope she'll be as busy as I am this Fashion Week!

I wish you all the luck on your show in this new station! I'll be looking forward to seeing you more outside the studios as well. Lifestylers, let's watch this show 3PM every Saturdays and Sundays on GMA News TV!

Artista Academy: The Grand Auditions!

 

Yesterday was fun and exciting! Thousands upon thousands of people flocked to Smart Araneta Coliseum to bid for their chance to win a whopping 20 Million Pesos in which is dubbed as the grandest, biggest reality search competition in the Philippines called Artista Academy. I'm telling you, these people were seriously contending for the top spot. Since there will be only 2 people winning this competition, a LOT of heads will roll. Imagine just this afternoon alone around 12,000 individuals lined up and were screened by judges, it was so great to see those who you could really tell may have "the potential" and those who unfortunately don't.  

Every one lined up so early, I think even before lunch time there was a throng of people outside Araneta. They were not just there to push their luck on the prize, but hoping they will be a star on the Kapatid Network!

They did rigorous screen tests. They also had tight shots so if you are a guy planning to wear make up, make sure it's not going to look like you have em. It's totally not safe to use 2 shades of foundation that does not match your skin's color. Thousands of people will see you, even the color of your teeth so in layman's terms it was really brutal.

The number was 12,000+ and it wasn't going to be easy screening them one by one. They had to give fair chance to everyone but just take a look at how serious judging was at that time. See someone familiar?

That's Ms. Wilma Galvante and some directors/executives from TV5. If you pass her standards you definitely have star quality.

There were definitely a lot of hits, but there was also a ton of misses. Everybody who's hopeful of becoming the next big star in TV5 suited up and projected as much as they can. I have quite a few favorites during the screening. Out of this 12,000 people, only 16 of them will enter the academy... I'm sure a lot of tears will come out once the competition starts! Congratulations to TV5 for a very well organized audition.

One of the hosts of this show is Marvin Agustin, he will be alongside equally good looking Cesar Montano on this BIGGEST Artista search the country has ever seen! This is a first in the country's history!

Now for some of the gorgeous guys and gals that I saw that evening.

There were actually a lot more of these good looking people in Smart Araneta Coliseum that afternoon but you'll have to wait who actually gets in or not in the show. In my honest opinion, TV5 has definitely got a treasure in their hands. It'll be something definitely worth watching out for every week when the show starts. Make sure you like their Facebook Page and Follow them on Twitter because you don't wanna miss how these hopefuls make their way into the ranks becoming TV5's ultimate winner in the first ever Artista Academy! The 20 Million Pesos will definitely change someone's life. TV5 will surely be gaining ground as this program comes full swing probably next month. Do you have your own favorites now?
