My Illegal Wife Starring Zanjoe Marudo and Pokwang

Shocked about the news that Pokwang got hooked up with hunk Zanjoe Marudo? Well let's not be too hasty because the rumors are TRUE. We're not going to tell you this is a crazy stunt, but you need to watch Star Cinema and Skylight Film's best offering this year called MY ILLEGAL WIFE. 

Pokwang plays the role of Clarise, a mother who has spent an entire time working in Japan to be able to provide for her 2 kids in the Philippines. Later on, finds herself making up stories to woo a gorgeous looking guy Henry played by Zanjoe Marudo who had a weird case of amnesia. Clarise got several movies from Star Cinema and acted them out to convince Henry that they are married. Henry couldn't believe it either and another girl comes along to take this guy from the hands of Clarise, played by the sexy Ellen Adarna. Then again, Pokwang vs Ellen Adarna? We all vote for Pokwang of course! The girl in the rain scene was unbelievable!

  

No one can ever say that Pokwang can't execute something as funny as this. In fact, judging from the reaction of the people I saw that afternoon during this grand presscon affirmed my hunch that this will be a hit. Why? Even if the video was looping, the trailer just kept us laughing non stop. The director and people behind the film even goes on to say that this isn't even 10 percent of the film and we're getting laughter this much... what more if we saw the entire film! Both Star Cinema and Skylight Films are excited to see how this film will perform later on this week when it shows in cinemas. 

Other stars on this film like Edgar Allan Guzman, Mikylla Ramirez, Steven de Guzman, the legendary Anita Linda, Beauty Gonzales and funny comedian Pooh will surely make this film a must watch. Don't also hold back when you see the antics of Empoy and Ms. Joy Viado, you'll pee in your pants moment will come close I'm sure!

Will this romance end with Bea Alonzo begging Zanjoe Marudo back from Pokwang and her beauty? We have to find out by watching the movie on June 11, don't miss it!

The Huawei Ascend G6 Launch

Last Saturday was a little special by phone brand Huawei as they opened their first store in the Philippines at the SM North Edsa Cyberzone in Quezon City. To make the the day even better, they got popular endorser Jasmine Curtis Smith to be their brand ambassador in the Philippines and launched the Huawei Ascend G6 which is their mid range phone alternative to their Huawei Ascend P6. These are android phones so you can fully customize it. 

This particular phone has got an eight megapixel rear camera. It also has a five megapixel front camera so for those who LOVE taking selfies, this is the best thing money can buy. The phone can also take wide angle shots so if you want to show your friends how huge a place is, then you need not convince them. Just show them the whole angle.

Mr Charles Wu, Country Manager of Huawei Technologies Philippines says "This is just the beginning of our commitment to consumers in bringing them high quality phones at affordable prices. Watch out for our even bigger, better models soon." That just spells there will be more of these items to watch out for inside their stores. A visit would probably be the best thing to do now that they have a store open in SM North Edsa.

Jasmine says "It's time you get your money's worth when choosing the right mobile device for you. Something that would fit your lifestyle, something that still would have the computing power you need important for day to day activities and without breaking the bank." She totally wants the public to take notice of what value the Huawei Ascend G6 birngs. At around 10K for this powerful phone, it's one of the most affordable quad core devices in the market. They are also expecting the release of an LTE version of this phone later this year. I haven't used it yet but I plan to visit the store in my free time. Or if they choose to lend me a unit later on, maybe I can tell how it performs in my app, usage and video tests. In the meantime, visit their channels below if you want to know more if this is the perfect phone for you. Jasmine already has one, would you not want one too? :)

Azkals Wants Philippine Peace and Suzuki Cup Crown

The Mighty and Proud Silver Medalists - Philippine Azkals from the AFC Challege Cup

I was one of the few, no, millions of people who watched early morning games of the Philippine Azkals during the AFC Challenge Cup in Maldives. It wouldn't be possible without the help of ABSCBN Sports who streamed these games live during the past few weeks while our boys fought for the country once again. They all appeared quite apologetic though during the interview because they wanted to have won the gold during the games; quite humble still for these guys right? Then they go on promising a Gold medal performance on the Suzuki Cup slated late this year. Now that's the Azkals spirit!

Azkals Striker Phil Younghusband

"The messages and support we received were overwhelming and we could have won the tournament but overall it was a successful bid. To the media, the fans, especially to the Filipinos who stood up for us when some locals jeered... thank you! we all support each other and we are all so close, even those who were in the bench. We're looking forward to the next one." says Azkals striker Phil Younghusband.

Team Manager Dan Palami can't thank all the players enough for their maturity and attitude because they didn't cause problems at all while they were there. He adds "There were many firsts here. First time to beat Laos, first time to beat Maldives as well. We have always set the bar high and nothing but the championship was the goal for us, but we are looking forward to putting Philippine Football on top in Asia. A pretty good feat on its own."

19 year old Sato says he's very thankful for the support of the fans and promises in the Suzuki cup that they will do their best next time. He declares "We will get that gold now" to the delight of the crowd that afternoon. "It was amazing, a little disappointing but we thank you for the support. The people, especially the Pinoys in Maldives felt like family.   We got seasick but we're alright." says Simon Greatwich who had some small issues with traveling there from other islands. He says it was really hard for them to practice and go to game venues because the only way to get there were by boats; but they were so thankful for the Continental Air sandwiches which they miss a lot! Even Anton Del Rosario had the same sentiment. He adds "Thank you to the people who put up with the natives there. We want to play with them again and I hope we don't go to boats again."

They joked a ton like that.

Dino Laurena head of ABSCBN Integrated Sports pronounces their support for the Azkals once more and reiterates they will continue to support the team by having their games broadcasted live so a lot of Filipinos continue to get inspired and love the sport. ABSCBN will be covering the upcoming Philippine Peace Cup, the Group Stages of the 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup and will be airing everything on ABS-CBN Sports + Action channel. This will all kicks off November this year so you better watch out for that!

Half Sisters: Thea Tolentino, Derrick Monasterio and Andre Paras

It was a pleasant day to see the stars of upcoming series "Half Sisters". Thea Tolentino who won the second installment of reality show Protege and lead star of Pyra: Ang Babaeng Apoy, plus the hunky lead of many GMA series Derrick Monasterio and promising new comer cum basketball star Andre Paras talked with us during a luncheon in Kimono Ken, Tomas Morato in Quezon City.

First impressions, Andre is so tall, articulate and very accommodating. He wasn't as shy as I expected him to be as he was friendly and didn't bat an eyelash answering questions. He really thought about each one first before blurting out something. His charm might have fallen in his ability to communicate with a very gentlemanly demeanor which I think comes from his right upbringing. He's starting right and this project will be something that'll test how much he's learned during the small workshops here and there.

Derrick even thought he was going to be a little hard to be with but was surprised how funny this guy is. It even came to a point that the Director Mark Reyes had to put them in different places just to stop them from playing antics against each other. That part failed though because the guys still went to the ladies tents later on. Somehow, they already gelled early in the making of this series. Andre plays Benjie Castillo who plays a college jock who's also part of the basketball team. Rich kid but not an anti hero - you'll probably see their characters have a love triangle and or become a foursome during the story. Find out how complicated that is for him and the sisters. That'll be an interesting take on his character.
