Wish 107.5 Launches First WISH 107.5 Music Awards

Wish 107.5 just launched the WISH Music Awards and is holding it on January 26th. It's their first and by the looks of it, their esteemed set of judges will also have a hard time choosing who will win the awards. 50% will come from fan votes, 50% will come from the judges scores. Judges will be given audio files and briefed about the criterias before the actual day. They had a voting period last October 2015 and after getting those songs and seeing the performances, they shortlisted the names and had them as nominees. Surprisingly they got the indie and upcoming artists also included in some categories. They have 15 artists also performing in the show including Darren Espanto, Marlo Mortel, Daryl Ong and other recording artists. This is no joke because they'll be giving away Php 100,000 to the artist's beneficiaries aside from the tokens and awards to be given to them. 

The categories are up for Most Promising Artist, Best Wish Cover, Best Wishclusive Performance by a Young Artist, Best Wishclusive Performance by a Group, Best Wishclusive Performance by a Male Artist, by a Female Artist, Urban Song of the Year, Alternative Song of the Year, Ballad Song of the Year, Original Song of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year and Young Artist of the Year. Whoo! That's a lot!

 Wish FM is not after ratings, and they're getting tons of support from their listeners and this is just their first year. They want to prove the 70's, 80's, all hit songs from their station is worthy to be played 24/7 in the Philippines. They'll be doing a lot of promos to get those lovely songs to your cars and homes. So make sure you tune in to the station or go to Araneta Coliseum on January 26! They will however have a preview on January 24 as the nominees will be there! Tickets will also be given away on the same date so see you!

Rexona Motionsense: Keep On Moving

It was a sea of BLUE that greeted me as I worked my way to Marriot Hotel's Grand Ballroom for the Rexona Motion Sense Keep On Moving event in Pasay City. I wore something black so I was one of the odd balls but anyway, we're here to have fun right? Aside from that, Rexona is introducing Motionsense... A new patented technology based on YOU, the Filipino movers and shakers of the world.

What keeps us moving? Our families, we work hard, a trademark of all Filipinos. The new pinoy mover is going to be honored this evening. To inspire Filipinos to keep on moving.

"These Filipinos, despite the difficult struggles, still go beyond expected. The world will see what we can do. We would like to celebrate it. Through Rexona, we give confidence to Pinoys who have worked hard and have given pride for Filipinos hoping to inspire and keep on dreaming." says Ms. Gina of Unilever.

This is a breakthrough in deo and perspirant technology.

This is Motionsense, it keeps you protected throughout the day as it gets releases as you move. A technology researched in Europe and first in the country.

Congratulations to the men and women honored that evening. I knew most of them and I totally agree with the recognition.

Erich Gonzales and Daniel Matsunaga for "Be My Lady"

I've been waiting for this show to actually materialize as I've been hearing about it early last year. Word of it being filmed surfaced around the third quarter of last year which included Erich also being in a small accident (oh yes that got me worried!). My favorite Kapamilya actress didn't have a lead role since Two Wives (which I religiously watched btw) and had just done few support roles for the LizQuen starrer Forevermore.

We we're invited a few days ago to the Grand Presscon of her new one called "Be My Lady" which she stars with real life boyfriend Daniel Matsunaga. It's the first offered show from ABSCBN this 2016 and it couldn't come at a better time since it's almost valentines day. That to me just spelled romance, light drama which this series is all about. They also mentioned love in unexpected places, interracial relationships which they say is going to really be something that OFW's and your relatives living elsewhere would be able to relate to. 

We got them on video, this was during the press conference at the 14th Floor of ABSCBN's ELJ Building:

Singing the theme "Be My Lady" was Jason Dy which the producers say was a fresher, younger take on the song.

Shy Carlos and Mark Neumann for Tasya Fantasya on TV5

Singing a new tune with a lovely playful disposition is Shy Carlos. She's the newest star now in a lead role as Tasya Fantasya based on the work of Direk Carlo J. Caparas which was originally played by Kris Aquino and also Yasmien Kurdi on GMA. Now that the story is on the TV5's stable, it's going to be a bit more funnier because when we saw her doing the character on stage, she was really into it. Add to that AJ Mulach and Mark Neumann who's going to be her leading men in the show, this will also have a romantic spin between her fantacized man and the best friend who wanted to be her boyfriend. 

Mark says "At first it's physical, but later on it's the personality that is important for me. Well if they want us to, we can try to be TV5's premier love team. She's nice and easy to talk to, really approachable which I really like about her. I am so thankful that even if I didn't win Artista Academy, the work I do everyday, I always am thankful for it that I do pour in my passion in everything that I do."

"Since it's my first time to work with him, we're going to work on our chemistry because we need that in work. I want to be happy and contented before I go into a relationship. If I'm not gonna be loved, I'm not gonna get hurt because it's not the thing that would complete me. People would think he's not that approachable but he makes everything light. I'm also proud of Nadine and seeing her acheive so many things I'm so happy for her. We started in commercials and we dreamed of this since the beginning, I'm just so happy for her. I choose schedules in school that would not be conflicting with work so I have time for that. I'm taking AB Consular Affairs in Benilde and I hope I can finish soon."

The show also stars Donnalyn Bartolome, Kim Molina, Malak So, AJ Mulach, Ara Mina, Candy Pangilinan, Giselle Sanchez, John Lapus and Jasmine Hollingworth. Also present in the presscon were Boss Vic Del Rosario, Veronique Del Rosario and Viva Executives.

It's going to start on February 6, 2016 8PM and will be done every Saturday after that. This is produced by Viva too.
