KELVIN MIRANDA Releases "Slow Dance"

The young and talented Kelvin Miranda has become a really remarkable leading man in GMA's stable. Recently, he did so good in the May-December love affair series called Stories From The Heart: Loving Miss Bridgette with the one and only Beauty Gonzales, wherein he did a remarkable job.

Aside from these notable roles he's been doing, he also just launched a new single under GMA Records called "Slow Dance". This single is an original song written by Jomari Jintalan and produced by Paulo Agduelo. Kelvin says "This song is for those who haven't experienced doing it. For me, it's like taking it easy, slowing down which I dedicate to my fans. I am thankful because I've been given an opportunity by GMA. The role I did with Ms. Beauty was well worth it, I think I've given it justice because it's a great collaboration between my Director, the people there and me. I often ask questions, I want to relate to people who are in the same situation so I can make the character realistic. The song I released is like telling a story, I liken it to what I want to do when I have a relationship. I really relate with the first line, if you have to decide, have trouble, you just take it easy. It's an ode to those who are hopeful. I think I've changed a lot, I have more confidence now. I still have moments when I do need a lot of that, but it's manageable. I just have to balance what opportunities come to me. I don't think it would be up to me if I changed, maybe other people would be able to say that. I've had relationships before, but right now I am single, I still have a lot to prove to myself. I often get a little out of focus when I'm in a relationship."

 

Here's his interview on video, enjoy!

The single "Slow Dance" is now out on streaming platforms here around the world. It placed second on iTunes charts in the Philippines when it first came out, you can also see the official music video on YouTube if you're up to it. Congratulations Kelvin! You're going places!

Fans Sorely Miss VICE GANDA in "It's Showtime!"

It's been almost a month of no Vice Ganda seen in the set of It's Showtime and honestly, I could really see how the madlang people have missed him a lot. Vice's humor, snappy replies to mothers in the ReiNanay portion was particularly missed especially when it became an opportunity for him to learn and analyze their life stories.

I could just imagine how it'll be best to see him also do funny stuff with the judges since talented funny mom Melai Cantiveros joined the panel plus Ogie's perfect persona would be a ball of fun to make short stories with too. Anyway, she's probably going back soon after her highly successful sold out concert in the US. She was also able to produce vlog episodes of her shopping trips and food adventures while talking to ordinary folks in Hollywood/LA area. Vice also took time out and walked Hollywood's famous walk of fame and bonded with Ion since it's also their third anniversary. Needless to say, she really got recognized not only by Filipino fans but Americans who got to watch her on YouTube or TFC.

Seeing the success of the concert in California might actually spark either a tour in other countries or perhaps Filipino communities elsewhere. What I'm quite sure of now is that, Vice is heavily missed in the "It's Showtime!" studios and if she comes back, it'll be better family viewing for everyone on ABSCBN's Jeepney TV, A2Z and on digital. Hopefully she's gotten enough sleep and rest so she can come make everyone laugh again in live episodes. Fans and ponies surely miss you.

Gary Valenciano joined in and he says "I'm learning a lot in this event. I am more motivated to be in a health track. It's been common to hear stories, it's challenging mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. The way I live my life, I'm being surrounded by good people. You get to see their vulnerability, we talk, even friends, they go through life. It's important to have people speak life to your life. When my health scare happened, I had a little more extra in protocols so I stay healthy and preven myself get sick. I had to shift gears so it doesn't happen again. Getting used to things that are mental, the cuts, the wound, it was a difficult recovery. Mentally, it was even challenging because rehab wasn't even going good, but surely they said 3 months, I was already performing live and on stage. It would have been easier if I had peace of mind, I was able to reach out to those who could help me, from medical teams, my wife, my family, they were able to make up to whatever I lacked in my mental state. The support from people who are there for you, it'll become easier because of them."

Brand Ambassadors Nico Bolzico and Solenn Heussaff adds "Luckily we haven't had any health scares, but my Father had one. It was a difficult month, but aside from that it's all good. As a parent, we panic fast, you're never concerned when it's not there. We think of ways to look for help, prepare so you know what to do. You have to focus on your child, look for treatments she needs especially when hospitals aren't the same anymore. Having a game plan is good, it's important to get consultation, where to get it, how to get it so they can guide us so you can focus on getting better.

Doing More: Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda

The 2022 election will be extremely important for the lives of approximately 104 Million people. Aside from the obvious need for immediate pandemic response, relief and restarting of businesses, sectors heavily affected by the economic stresses of the situation should be addressed. It includes the sectors of education, addressing poverty, the micro small and medium enterprise, child labor, the environment, climate change and those that affect the lives of people. After all, the legislative body has a primary role in creating laws, Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda did this for over 18 years in the Senate.

Several laws she made being implemented nowadays include Free College Education, Magna Carta of the Poor, the MSME Law, Child Labor Law, Climate Change Law, most of which has been done during her term.

On her FB page, she recently released a few videos which include testimonies from real people.

I think that's noble and with the accomplishments, she's got a good grasp of what a Senator does. She wants to do more. But would you consider her to be one of you bets this election? 

That's your choice.
