GMA's Barbara, Sasha and Milkah's Birthday Bash

Barbara Miguel, Milkah Nacion and Sasha Baldoza celebrates birthday with kids from Asociacion de Damas Filipinas

GMA Artist Center and promising kids Barbara Miguel, Milkah Nacion and Sasha Baldoza just celebrated their birthday at the Museo Pambata in Manila. They made arrangements so the kids from Asociacion de Damas Filipinas would be able to join them during this great day. The foundation was established in 1913 and houses around a few hundred children that are abandoned, neglected, orphaned, or foundlings. These are children in need of special care and they only do it for babies 6 months and take care of them until they reach the age of 6. It's a good thing they're doing this so even in an early age, Barbara, Milkah and Sasha would know how blessed they are... and now, they are sharing what they have with them which is really touching. 

 

Child star Barbara Miguel, is also nominated as Best Actress in the 2014 Queens World Film Festival. Her portrayal in the film "Nuwebe" gave her the Best Actress award in the Harlem Film Festival also in New York. It was hard for her to portray the youngest mother in Philippine history but her Director Joseph Laban and the film's crew took good care of her while shooting. She also did a good job with her previous shows "Biritera" and "Munting Heredera" and having her in these internationally acclaimed films is a feat that GMA is proud of especially having her on their stables.

Milkah Nacion is that little kid you oh so loved in the series IGLOT. She played the role of Luningning and we watched her everyday struggle to see her Mom and still take care of the egg she carried around in the show. It was cute and seeing her play around with the kids from the foundation was a touching sight. I hope they get to expose all their artists in activities like these for the love of it.

The kid from the Dingdong Dantes starrer GENESIS is Sasha Baldoza. She took time off to celebrate her birthday with the kids here and says she would want to share her love for books, fashion and toys with them as a way of giving back. She also loved the facility and it has given them the chance to play with them during the Museo Pambata tour. They learned more about history, science and language which she thinks is essential to these kids from Asociacion de Damas Filipinas. It'll be the catalyst to make them better and productive citizens later on and she's happy that they get to spend time with them here.

The kids would like to thank SkinWhite, Minute Burger and GMA Artist Center for making all these possible. All credits on photos for this article are to and for GMA Artist Center.

Mr. Dingdong Dantes... This Hurts!

That moment when Mrs. Real couldn't take it anymore and confirms that Mr. Real had another Mrs. Real. Slowly.. it happened!

P.S.

Mr. Dingdong Dantes, please get your face checked after that scene. Argh!I am super sure that thing would just hurt your face! Ouch!

Ellen Adarna for Bench Body

The stage was almost pitch dark when the event started. Then out of the shadows, two Swarovsky crystal encrusted gloves started hitting a full punching bag in the middle of the ring. I was loving what I was seeing as the lights carefully showed the lines and contours of her body. 

Then she goes on hinting us with her Bench Body outfit, stunned us with an all red number. She didn't stop there though because she used the punching bags and kicked it like a pro.

She whisked nearby but I could only see a glimpse of her from where I am but up close, you can see the details of her underwear, the red fabric and near mesh on the sides doesn't discomfort her at all even if she had to move a lot during the more athletic part of the show. This, while staying sexy.

 And ooh... this is my money shot. She went ahead and stretched a bit in the center of the ring and this gave me chills. Ellen Adarna is truly SEXY! This is because what she wears just accentuates her body... all courtesy of BENCH BODY. Then after that, the girls all came out and whipped their you know what all over the stage..

Then Ellen came out and put on an athletic shirt, took out her jumping ropes and skipped away. She was so awesome in the center stage doing some fancy footwork and exhibitions with the ropes. The guys had a field day!

Then the guys entered the stage one by one. Warning (NSFW)

Birthdays with GMA Artist Center's Kenneth Paul, Zandra, James, Rafa and Phytos

We spent the day with talented actors and their fans in the Lazer Max Tag Arena in Centris off Quezon Avenue. It was my first time to meet Rafa Siguion-Reyna, Phytos Ramirez and Zandra Summer but I've featured Kenneth Paul Cruz and James Wright in previous posts. The premise is, we're going to have fun in this joint... and that we did!

It was also a good time for these artists to connect with their fan clubs so they get to talk to their idols while we were there. It was intimate, especially when they sat down and ate with them during lunch. They got to know them more over pizza and pasta. The questions revolved around their projects and what other things they need to look out for with  Kenneth Paul, Zandra, James, Rafa and Phytos. They also had games designed for them to interact with each other. They also gave the fans prizes from GMA Artist Center, RRJ, Active White, Sundance and Toblerone. It was also a sweet sight when they all asked the them to sign some pillows as they'd want to keep the memories of this day.

Rafa Siguion Reyna and Phytos Ramirez

Rafa went ahead and promoted his stint in "Hari ng Tondo" (King of Tondo) which is an entry to Cinemalaya. It's also directed by his Dad the famous Carlos Siguion Reyna. He has much respect for the craft and he saw how hard it is. He also lauds Direk Maryo J. Delos Reyes which he works with in Nino. He says the thing common with them is that they know what they want and they never settle with mediocre acting. "They will make you work for what's needed in the scenes and that's a good thing" he adds.

I think Phytos Ramirez is one of the less seen (but not under appreciated) actors in this station. Don't get me wrong, I think it's not just the projects but his looks. He's 19 and he is aware that this is much of an awkward stage of pressing for cutie teeny bopper roles or go for mature ones. My shot here doesn't do justice because I think he's way more good looking in person. His Grecian looks is just something I haven't seen in Philippine TV and I think that can be something of an advantage. He now wishes to be seen in more mature roles and he's really working hard at it by bulking up. I guess it comes with the territory of being a matinee idol, which I think he's gonna be a perfect fit at. We only can wish him well; and I hope to see him in tons of projects soon.

 James Wright still has his self titled album out on stores nationwide. He's concentrating on performing and he's been touring a couple of cities to perform in. The one in Nuvali with Ogie Alcasid yesterday was fun it seems and he's also gone to Hong Kong coz he misses his family. I hope you get his album produced also by GMA Records. For more information about that, check my previous article here.

After Kenneth Paul Cruz's stint in Carmela (Marian Rivera's series), he's going to be in the Cinemalaya entry Mariquina (Marikina) together with Barbie Forteza, Mylene Dizon, Ricky Davao, Bing Pimentel, Dennis Padilla, Che Ramos, Mel Kimura, Erlinda Villalobos and Ruby Ruiz. It's Directed by Milo Sugueco. The movie talks about the city of Marikina, their history, the people who are in the shoe industry and how she (Mylene Dizon's character) begins to find her self in the process. Kenneth will be playing one of the pivotal roles in this film as the love interest of Barbie Forteza. He hopes everyone would be able to watch it during Cinemalaya preview dates as he's very proud of this project. I think he deserves it, rightfully do.

Zandra Summer who hailed from the Protege reality show was also there since her birthday falls in July like the rest of these guys. She's currently also in Dading playing one of the nurses in the show since Glaiza De Castro's character works in the hospital there. She didn't hold back and joined everyone in the Laser tag games, really a good gal. I hope she continue to get more projects from GMA because I think she's doing a good job in this support role. She's got character, and she looked pretty good when made up too. Good luck in your future shows Zandra and hope to talk more with you soon!

Overall, you guys have given your most precious fans a fun day that they would not forget. Thank you so much for being so nice too. Happy birthday!

Thanks GMA Artist Center for letting us tag along!
