Ken Chan Plays Father with Special Needs in “My Special Tatay”

Ken Chan has always been so nice to me, even his fans who always holds a special place in his heart. Today is the premiere of his new show “My Special Tatay” in GMA’s afternoon prime, and of course GMA Artist Center arranged an intimate viewing party for several of Ken Chan’s fan groups as they were eagerly waiting for this new soap.

Honestly I was expecting another installment of his previous successful project Destiny Rose but I guess he’s doing this to employ something different, to make himself challenged as he portrays different roles and probably make himself learn as a better actor.

Ken Chan says ”We had a shooting day today but had to cancel it so we can be with you guys. Our goal is to be able to send the message across, about this condition and how people with special needs need help and understanding. Thank you for helping us, I hope you get to watch this from start to finish.”

Bruno says “When we accepted this project and saw the material, we were very excited to be in it. I play an anti hero, not much of a contra bida and he's a little on the soft side. I hope you all get to see us and how we tell this important story that has a lot of lessons.”

Arra San Agustin came in front and said “I am so happy to see you all eager to watch the first episode, I hope would like this show. We spent a lot of time making this.”

Direk LA says “Thank you so much for your support, I hope you continue to watch the show and perhaps we’ll have a longer run if you show how much you love this. I hope I can take you all to the set, we have so many things in store for you guys so thank you for coming here today, enjoy the pilot! Thank you for supporting Ken and the whole show!”

Here's the rest of our interview on video,we asked them about the show and how they feel about the acceptance of the audience during the pilot episode.

When we watched the episode earlier, it evidently showed they took time to actually anchor the life story of Ken Chan’s character and what happened with his parents. They told us these are all significant so you get to know why the circumstances happen, as it is not only on the pretense of having special needs, they too are people who get affected by life, they live day to day like you and me, and how they want you to know that despite his condition, he was able to accomplish being a good father.

This is a touching story, out of the box characters that Ken Chan enjoys and he attributes these interesting acting pieces to the management of GMA whom he trusts over the years to become who he is today. He said thanks to the people present there, Puradak Chicken (for our meals) and Bench who gave us goodies to take home too.

You should watch what happens tomorrow, I bet there would be more interesting people they need to tell you about so make it a habit to watch My Special Tatay on GMA Afternoon Prime!

Congratulations Ken! I am so proud of you! Keep that fire burning, that passion continues to grow in you. Cheers!

Lazada Launches LazMall

Spent a couple hundred bucks to go to Lazada’s not so intimate event at Manila House Private members club in BGC. It was packed to the brim, I couldn’t blame them as we heard quite exciting news. Lazada has always been the go to online shopping destination of Filipinos, yes there are threats here and there but I guess they’re all doing fine, there’s enough customers to go around in the Philippines.

Anyway, in between fish tacos and water that I drank that evening, they said this will be a part of the Lazada app and will feature thousands of authentic brands, a whopping 70 million in products, authorized sellers of Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, JBL, Philipps, Mac, L’Oreal, Dove, Olay, Levi’s and a lot more in one place and a promise of even better customer service.

What’s crazy is that if you see or buy anything not authentic from these shops, Lazada even goes saying they will double your money back. They also have a 15 day hassle free return policy if you’re not satusfied, and also have next day delivery services for it, now isn’t that amazing?

I wanted this bear but he isn’t for sale :( someone give him to me please? lol

They also have an upcoming 9.9 Sale at LazMall this September 9, which means you’ll get 90% off deals all throughout the Southeast Asian region, I already bought shoes and power cables a few days ago, they were already cheap even without the sale yet so just imagine how much that will be on this date.

Anyway I don’t want to bother you guys anymore with your shopping, just make that list, put them all in your cart and cross your fingers they go on sale on 9/9, download the app and shop because it’s all you ever wanted!

M Butterfly Staging in Manila and The Chrysalis Charity Auction

A play by David Henry Hwang, staged around the world since the 80’s, a story that has been told in other countries. Now it will be shown again in Manila through Frontrow Entertainment’s efforts, a good material full of promise, this is M Butterfly.

A broadway producer who hailed from Bacolod, Jett Tolentino (who is part of this project) says “The best gift to give someone is your time. This is my second time back in the Philippines and I am still looking for ways to help the Filipino artists. We will take the story into the global stage, I am excited about this partnership with Frontrow.”

RS Francisco says “In the play I have a line thay says you must make your fantasies and this is why we are launching The Chrysalis, a line of work that has tasked the country’s 7 greatest photographers, some of the best of the world, and proceeds of these shots will go fully to charity. The actual photos are here. Bidding starts at 50,000 and will be on silent auction. The beneficiary organisations will be chosen by the photographers themselves. We can’t wait for you to see these limited edition shots, as we will only be releasing three prints each.”

He adds “When we were choosing these photographers, I was so confused in choosing who would do my billboard so we all thought of choosing them all and having this as a passion project for charity. When they heard it was for charity they all said YES and got to have 99 percent control for the creative. They also were given just one line from the play and the task of introducing Sing Liling as a female, in their views. True enough they all are masterpieces!”

The photographers include Mandy Navasero, Raymund Isaac, Manny Librodo, Jun De Leon, BJ Pascual, Wig Tysman and Patrick Uy. Watch the video!

The bidding ends September 29 at 12PM and they will announce winners on the social media accounts of M Butterfly. You may start bidding through those channels too and their announced mobile number.
