XFactor UK’s Maria Larocco in Manila

Saw Maria Larocco this evening. Saw her sing live too! 

Paulo Raymundo the country manager for Blu Ant Entertainment says “I would like to thank MGML Global Talents Corporation for making this possible. Our channel is committed to bringing the best in entertainment and even the same day of its US airing. From ET, to more series, some of the biggest award shows, the Philippines has been noted as the best source of singers, Maria is one of them who have been able to penetrate the show halfway around the world.” 

Maria says “It has always been my dream to be a superstar and performing in front of the judges was just surreal. It was a life changing moment and I couldn’t believe I made the 4 judges do a standing ovation. I wouldn’t be able to do this without my family and my friends. I promise to have more in store for you this 2019 so please watch out for it.”

“My first TV appearance was the Voice Kids 2014 when I did the blind auditions, my coach was Lea Salonga that time. I auditioned online on their website and two years ago I also tried, on the third one I got lucky. Now that I got there, it was just a surreal day for me. I am thankful to have been able to go through rounds in London, even if it was unfortunate to not have been able to go to the US and sing live in Simon’s house in front of other celebrities, they saw me and got through again, he kept me. That I am still thankful for.”

The XFACTOR shows Sundays and Mondays at 7:55PM on Blue Ant Entertainment.

The CLASHers Sign with GMA Artist Center

Met the finalists of The Clash 2018 this afternoon as they signed with GMA Artist Center. As you may know, the reality competition ended already with Golden Cañedo winning the competition. She hails from Cebu and is no stranger to the contest circuit as this provides for her needs and her family. GMA Executive Lily G. Rasonable was also there to welcome them during the affair.

It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I really fought for it. For those singers who want to achieve their dreams, you really have to fight for it. Don’t let others judgement affect you. Thank you for the opportunity, for us 6, you made our dreams come true.” -Golden Cañedo 

“Joining clash was a platform to introduce ourselves are artists. Just like him, I wanted to work with Julie Anne SanJose.” - Jing Madaliday

“This is my first national competition and being in the top 16 was a way to let me be known by a lot of people. We now have Studio 7, they have done so much for us and we are thankful!” -Josh Adomado

“There is always a rainbow after the rain. We are thankful and grateful for the opportunity to be with Artist Center.” - Miriam Manalo

“The experience gave meaning to what we wanted to do, it’s why I chose The Climb as my final song, it is so me. I have been chasing this dream for a long time. Thank you so much GMA for this.” -Anthony Rosaldo

Here’s the rest of the things that happened during our interview!

Make sure you wait for them to appear in GMA shows and Studio 7 this month. This new generation of singers have interesting stories, I bet they will go far judging from how we saw these talented people belted out their songs that afternoon.

Be very very ready!

The Flash Season 5 on HOOQ

Got HOOQ'd last Monday and was able to watch The Flash's newest season. Had to hold it in even if I was a bit excited to share with you guys what it was all about.

The new season meant new stories, still same fast person though in the persona of Barry Allen but I was quite surprised about one thing, a female flash in blue. If my hunch is correct, she's the daughter and with the same or even greater power, how would that shift things in his life now that he's a father?

The all new Season 5 of The Flash can be viewed on the HOOQ app as it premiers on October 10, make sure you get your subscription ready for the fastest show on TV land!

Download it now on Google Play and the App store, you wouldn't want to miss this show, or else you'll be left behind!

10 Reasons Why You Should Watch Wild and Free

Saw the film this evening, I actually find it entertaining. A little too slow much like a diesel engine that takes a little time to heat up and work but so far it’s a good watch.

1. It’s subtle, not hardcore at all. It has romance involved.

2. The security guard is funny, she injects humor quite nicely at the workplace.

3. It’s not so serious. A bit romcom in fact.

4. You’ll love Ducatis, you’ll love bulalo and the waves.

5. You’ll become cheesy when you see waves.

6. You’ll love the twists, it’s about love and family relationships.

7: There is soft something, not too hardcore if you know what I mean.

8. You’ll love doing the laundry.

9. It may be a bit... scary. You'll have lots of questions, but you will ask WHY.

10. This is about, more or less, feeding the characters ego. The best friends also steal the shine sometimes you’ll see them cringe, the main actors are also crazy. 

Direk Connie Macatuno says “Good evening and thank you for gracing our premiere night, I hope I get to awaken your senses with this film. Thank you for being here.”

Sanya says “Thank you everyone, I am so nervous and excited, I hope you would love this. This is also the first time I am watching this complete.”

Derrick says “I hope you would love this film as we really took hard time making this movie.”

This is graded B and has got R13 rating from MTRCB. This is also produced by Regal Films. 

While on the red carpet, we saw GMA stars, their friends, some Regal personalities, Adi Raj, Kelvin Miranda, Jeric Gonzales, David Licauco, Ricci Rivero, Barbie Forteza and Jak Roberto, VJ Mendoza, Ashley Ortega and Juancho Trivino, Regal babies Migs Paraiso, JM Martinez, Johnvic De Guzman and more.

Watch them on theaters tomorrow!
