BUDOY: Starts October 10 On ABSCBN!

Sunday, October 09, 2011

Do you know someone who have difficulty learning? Do you know how it feels to be called a special child or mentally challenged? It is so hard to think about it, but what if you actually had a son who's going through this? How are you going to handle it? Would you go leaps and bounds just to protect your name? Would you lie to people? Would you lie to your better half? Those are the questions the this new Advocacyserye wants to answer... The first of its kind in Philippine television. BUDOY will be shown on Monday, October 10 after the phenomenal 100days to Heaven.

We got first dibs of the first five episodes during the private screening. Hope you enjoy these photos!


PBB Teen Housemate no more Fred Payawan. It was my first time to meet him, still good looking eh?! Looks like the guys are supporting Budoy star Gerald Anderson... I wouldn't be surprised if he played a role somewhere in the series, though I heard from the grapevine he's in TV5. If the role calls for it why not?!



Another Teen no more housemate Matt Evans strutting the red carpet with this young actress also from ABSCBN, dating or are they together? My guess is as good as yours! :D



Angeline Quinto sang the theme for BUDOY live during the private screening. She definitely has every right to be called the theme song queen for every series in television. She had sent chills to the spine of everyone who came that evening.


Jessie Mendiola came in with this Turquoise Long Gown number. It was popping up her complexion, quite adorable. She will play Jackie, a childhood sweetheart that will turn to be BUDOY's love interest in this series.



Here he is! Scruffy looking but still very good looking. Gerald Anderson came in with his Mom and Dad during this private screening. In the interviews they were so proud of him. This was the first sighting of Gerald that evening. He went through the red carpet like a breeze. I like his coat too, it's light and it's none of those formal ones.



Making a HUGE comeback and definitely a stunner in this series is Ms. Janice De Belen and Tirso Cruz III. I kinda thought about how Tirso Cruz was in the past is probably the same with Gerald now. He's got a lot of supporters who love him for sure!




The legendary Ms. Barbara Perez and the matriarch of the Ranillo siblings Ms. Gloria Sevilla is also part of the cast. The former being the tough and evil Mom of Mr. Tirso Cruz III named Dr. Alberta Maniego and the latter played a friend of Budoy, Lola sumthing I forgot sorry :). Watch out for that kid snatcher, you'll be laughing in the first few episodes.



The cast getting ready to watch the series. A couple of stars were also there showing support for Gerald and the cast. I saw Pokwang, Pen Medina and a lot more. It was a power cast performance all the way. Imagine rows of people actually crying and laughing at different times while the program was shown. It's a definite tear jerker and a comic relief in different days. Make sure you watch everyday because if you miss one day, the turn of events would be too fast for you and the story. Reserve your Monday evenings for the beginning of this great Advocacyserye. Watch out for the great dramatic performances from Janice De Belen and Ms. ZsaZsa Padilla, pay attention to the dialogue and you will surely cry. Their breakdown scenes were really moving.
Here are more shots from that evening!

Here's a clip from the press conference! Enjoy!











Make sure you watch BUDOY on October 10, 2011. That's this Monday after 100 days to Heaven. This will be surely a hit! Congratulations on this project and to the directors too. Let's watch this one Kapamilya on Primetime Bida!

Red Box Helps Filipino Music Industry

Friday, October 07, 2011

Lets face it, the music industry is losing millions if not billions from piracy. Musicians, composers, singers and producers have experienced job losses and unpaid royalties from labels because they do not get whats due for them. People don't know how big its impact is unless they are the ones affected and that is whats keeping this practice alive. This is what FILSCAP has been trying to steadfastly battle since its conception.



Today, a lot of music establishments are helping out and one of them is REDBOX. Yes, you heard it... Red Box isn't just an ordinary establishment, they believe in the Filipino talent and doing business right. Did you know they actually pay royalties for OPM tracks they have on their song lists? Yes, they do! Other establishments dont even think about that. They mainly rely on only getting Korean or China made chips that never pays a single centavo for the Filipino composer or artist. It surely kills the industry, and Red Box fights alongside FILSCAP in this war. Mr. Walden Chu, Managing Director of Red Box shared this with us during an appearance with the one and only Noel Cabangon, one of the most admired artists/composer in the Philippines.
Together Red Box and FILSCAP will make a difference.


Red Box Rock Dine and Roll
In an era where karaoke and videoke shops just have proliferated everywhere, Red Box puts itself in a class of its own. With posh interiors, spacious party rooms and indoor sports equipment they make sure that every time you come to their establishment with friends and family, it'll be an experience you'll never forget.



When you are not busy singing, try out their billiard tables inside the room. They've got the beat. They've got the activities you can indulge on for hours of fun!


Bringing your friends along and experiencing how to rock dine and roll. It was the perfect thing we did a couple of months ago in their Eastwood branch. There are more branches near you, just look for the Red Box logo.

We had the pleasure of meeting these esteemed broadcast journalists yesterday and boy I was star struck a plenty seeing those who I admire on TV and Radio. I'm a frustrated news anchor.

Ms. Grande covered the Australian - NZ region for a couple of years and have gone through the hardest beat of them all.

He assures everyone that they would be able to deliver first even before it reaches primetime news later in the evening. They will also have guests on the show live, straight from the horses mouth.

Primetime on ANC

Primetime News would never be the same again with funny man slash veteran news anchor Tony Velasquez and blooming mother to be Ms. Karmina Constantino

I had tons of laugh when Mr. Tony Velasquez stepped in. His humor that afternoon was quite contagious. It was like political satire meets serious news. Though this one is surely going to be a VERY serious program in prime time ANC. Ms. Karmina Constantino fresh from covering news in North America will be trying steadfastly not to laugh and bring you the news straight and fresh from the news room of ABS CBN. Aside from the day's top stories they will also touch with headlines from international news agencies. They will also tackle the best news that the ABSCBN bureaus gathered from Europe, ANZ, North America and elsewhere around the world. Think about the combined experience of Tony and Karmina and you'll surely be mesmerized about what they both can bring to the table. From successful advocacy reports, to magazine style programs... they would only be getting you a mix of what interests you and me; the Filipino viewer. Watch them on prime time come next week.


PIPOL

Ms. Ces Drilon proud to be back making stories for real PIPOL

The one and only Ces Drilon top bills this legendary show. If you didn't know PIPOL, you must have been living under a rock in the late 90's and early 2000's. It's that show that talks about 3 or more individuals and their life stories. It has been the benchmark for most stand uppers even then. Today. they will be featuring one person a week and talk about his journey in 30 minutes. Asking hard hitting questions and taking out the best out of these subjects which Ms. Ces Drilon has been known for. In the span of years she has been with the industry, this comeback will surely be the talk of the town. This will make each week a must see show as they go through the lives of the great people. It could be you or me. PIPOL will always be making you think about the subjects in a different light. It's interesting; surely this will be a learning experience too. Don't miss every episode on ANC Mondays at 9:30PM. She was so nice in person, it was a pleasure meeting her!


Teditorial

One name... Teodoro "Teddyboy" Locsin Jr. He's that guy you wish you'd become when writing or sarcasm comes to mind. He is a master, I am but a Jedi... and so are other veteran journalists today. I couldn't fathom how smart he is, nor could I contain how great he is in a nutshell. He's evil but one good man too; and I hope you get that. He'll be doing Teditorial which is just a two minute commentary segment on different ANC news programs. He'll give you his views on the greatest news stories and leave you in a "thinking" coma later on. He's one of the greatest this country has ever seen. I'm not joking.

The ABSCBN News Channel has brought you the best... and now this will be a completely revamped lineup of shows for you and me to enjoy. Now is the time for you to see why they are the number one news channel in the Philippines. That ain't bad for 15 years eh?! :)
