ALDEN RICHARDS on his Renewal: Attributes Success to Fans

Alden Richards just renewed his contract with GMA and GMA Artist Center. He's been in the Kapuso network for over a decade now but he's never been so humble til now.

Alden says "Yes I do experience down times. I'm very lucky because during those times, I am on a break. I really want a movie, an element wherein I do dark roles. It's for approval of course. I remain a loyal Kapuso because my career and success has been in the station. I also have great regards to loyalty and I think til I become a family man, I will stay here. They trust me on big projects, they trust me with roles, they give me the support system I have in GMA and behind me. I guess it's always about being with the right people, with the right mindset, how you view things. What you have inside will radiate, your good heart, your good soul and you have to have the people support you. Authenticity is the key, the pressure will be there, but you just have to lower its presence in life. Since day 1 it's been my principle to never change. Being a Kapuso has been engraved in my mind, I can't wait for more things to happen in the next decade with them.".

 

 

Here's a video of our blogcon this afternoon

You'll see more of Alden next month as he continues to tape for the episodes of "The World Between Us" as it got stopped because of the pandemic and IATF rules. Hope you enjoyed this coverage!

CONG vs IVANA ALAWI on Mountain Dew's Battle of Bangis!

Two massive online personalities, one is Cong of CONGTV and the other, Ivana Alawi. Cong is funny, hits the right notes when it comes to gaming, Ivana on the other hand just have so much men adore her. Now what if these two gigantic personalities on YouTube suddenly had to battle it out? What am I talking about? It's called BATTLE OF BANGIS. It's Mountain Dew's very own way to test who's the best in physical, mental, emotional strength and teamwork.  

Now how do they do this? Easy. From October 10 to 27, the two and their respective teammates will undergo several bootcamp challenges in categories like Pisikalan, Walang Iyakan, Mind Over Matter then Tropahan. This means they'll be going through different adventures and activities to see who's best. Then they will have the finale Mountain Dew Battle of Bangis D'Ultimate Showdown on the 7th of November, that's next month.

This all started when Junnie Boy thanked the public when they worked with James Reid. They kinda started wishing who they wanted to collaborate with and out of his mouth he uttered the name of Ivana Alawi. Ivana then posted in another vlog that she's accepting the challenge and said "Bangis Tayo Eh!". And now, we can't wait to see what will happen next!

Oh and for those who would watch Cong and Ivana from the comforts of their homes, you too will have the chance to win the Mountain Dew Battle of Bangis. Just do your take of the challenges you see in the bootcamp and shoot a video, upload it on FB (publicly) and use the hashtag #DewBattleOfBangis and it'll count as an entry. That way, you can be part of their team.

Cong will team up with Mika Salamanca, Junnie Boy and Sachzna. Ivana on the other hand will be playing with Khengi Saito, Tiktok femme Yuki Takahashi and Albert Nicolas. They'll be recruiting 6 of you who will post your entries on social media then face each other in the finals. It'll be hosted by Sam YG and James Reid will also be there to witness the festivities. It will be streamed on Mountain Dew's Facebook pga on the consecutive weeks, and the finals of course.

Proceeds of this particular event will go to chosen charities Streets School and Child Hope. They are causes that are close to Ivana and Cong's heart. They will be providing new tablets for their school needs. Winner gets 100 tablets, the other will get 50. If you want to know more, check out this video!

In the show, they'll be your companion and show you around their respective hometowns to give you a glimpse on why it's the G.O.A.T.! They will be showcasing it in 6 episodes, so make sure you're tuned in on those dates!

 

 

CEO and President of KC Global Media George Chien says "During these times, we're happy to announce the new travel and lifestyle reality show in the Philippines "My Hometown is GOAT!". What makes it the best? Ask the locals, it will include 7 towns in the Philippines which they call home. You'll see delicacies, activities, as they visit their roots, share their stories, perfect for those who can't travel yet so they could see the Philippines through their eyes. The journey starts on November 4th, thank you to our guests. Stay safe and healthy!"

DOT Secretary Berna Romulo Puyat says "Today, AXN Asia is launching their latest production My Hometown is GOAT. For tourism to go back to normal, the long wait, we're getting ready our hotels and tourism establishments are compliant with safety standards around the country. This is to ensure the safety of both guests and our workers. This would encourage people around the country, related to what we can offer. Mikael and Megan will be going to Central Luzon, Gazini Ganados will journey in Zamboanga Del Norte down south, Basketball Stars will be going to the northern corridor Pangasinan and La Union. The world premiere will happen on November 4th, more fun awaits in the Philippines! Mabuhay!"

Mikael says "I'm the one being toured around Zambales and I hope the way I fell in love with my wife there, I fell in love with the place too. It's normal to have apprehensions, but the new normal meant we can still see the sights with protocols in place, safely not just for yourself but everyone around you. The first step is awareness, new safety protocols, once you know that, you can decide. We have different appetites in travel, just follow procedures. We have shown that it is possible to do it while staying safe at the same time."

Megan shares "This was the first time we had our child in the shoot. In San Antonio, we just took a banca and have a grand time even without electricity, just food and friends, it's a great way for us to bond and meet my personal friends. Honestly, when I grew up in Subic I only thought you could ride in the Subic Yacht Club when you are a member, I didn't know you could rent one and it was an awesome expereince!"

Marc Pingris says "I feel grateful being part of this show, I was given a chance to show my team mates how great Pangasinan is. I toured them in La Union, followed protocols, and had a great time. AXN Asia staff really took good care of us, we apologize to the fans that didn't have a chance to take photos with us because we had to follow protocols. I grew up in Pangasinan as a laborer, and going to La Union, the view was different, you just have to go there and experience it for yourself. Being with the boys was just a cherry on top, I hope I get to be there with my other brothers from PBA, we didn't have to go outside the country to see how beautiful it was."

Jayjay Helterbrand says "We need to revitalize the tours, being in the motorcycle in two wheels, we saw everything raw. We saw the skyline, riding along with our PBA buddies, more fun really awaited us during our experience there! They were very adamant about safety protocols, we were prepared ahead of time and they made sure we followed road safety reminders."

JC Intal says "It was super fun and very safe. I am looking forward to more of this!"

Rico Maierhofer "We had to use websites and apps of the LGU's, and we did it ourselves. We're athletes so we're not much of hosts, but AXN made us comfortable. It was an amazing experience! We're thankful that DOT chose us to travel there. It was amazing!"

Gazini Ganados "I was excited to relive my childhood and see my hometown and parts of it that I never thought existed. The hidden gems I found there, it made me realize that I never even have to go far. It was all there all along! We took all safety procedures even before we stepped on the plane. We were also taught protocols in case someone wanted to go near us. There are new attractions, floating restaurants, the beauty under water, it was a different world doing that. It was super fun to see that side of the world!"

That's just the tip of the iceberg, so make sure you watch the show. It was awesome to see them be excited to show their respective provinces. There's so much to see in the Philippines and I hope this is just the start!
