RATED KORINA Features The PRESIDENTIABLES

The election is about a few months away and if you're the discerning type, you would probably be looking forward to get to know the candidates themselves this time. Well, don't be worried, this won't be the tied up formal type of interview as seasoned broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez interviews your favorite candidates in their own turf.. and see what happens in their day.

RATED KORINA dubs this as "Upuan ng Katotohanan" and will be aired this coming Saturday February 5 at 5PM on A2Z, at 7:30PM on TV5 and at 10:30PM on the Kapamilya Channel. There will be a replay next day February 6 on OnePH at 7PM. Fancy the things they do in their homes, office, or on the campaign trail and get to know the people applying to be your next President. Much of it won't be discussing politics so it'll be light and different from the usual banter. The interviews will also be uploaded on the Rated Korina official YouTube channel on Monday February 7th so a lot of other folks would be able to watch it elsewhere in the world.

Rated Korina and this special is the handy work of Brightlight Productions. Make sure you catch it!

MANO PO LEGACY Moved to New Timeslot

Talking to the cast was really an opportunity to see how these actors and actresses prepare for their role and know how they do it. True enough, people have been raving about the performances of Maricel Laxa, Sunshine Cruz, Barbie Forteza and the whole cast.

As Maricel Laxa says. "It's not hard to actually do it because you've got a supportive cast, excellent people behind the scenes that would make you think it's easy to execute the character."

David Licauco says "At first it was intimidating but when I started to talk to them, it was easy. The script is actually good so it was easy to do because you would know how their character moves or do in the story."

Here's our blog conference a few days ago, enjoy!

Mano Po Legacy: The Family Fortune cast also includes Rob Gomez, Nikki Co, Dustin Yu, Darwin Yu, Casie Banks, David Chua, Victor Basa, Ms. Boots Anson-Roa and a lot more.

And before we do go, they've changed their time slot as MANO PO LEGACY: The Family Fortune will be shown at 8:50pm starting February 7, so make sure you move your watching hours to that time because it's perfect after dinner no?

Happy Lunar New Year by the way!

JULIUS BABAO Officially Joins TV5's FRONTLINE PILIPINAS

People have been eagerly awaiting Julius Babao's appearance in TV5's home grown news program FRONTLINE PILIPINAS as he bade goodbye to his former network ABSCBN and his show TV Patrol. He's a veteran broadcast journalist and his choice to move was about growth and a career choice. He didn't want to be stagnant and pursued TV5's offer when signs appeared for him. 

Julius says "I would want to work with the news team of TV5 and I'm excited about working in Frontline Pilipinas on free TV and radio again. I'd be able to reach more people, and hopefully help them too. Sorry for repeating, but I'm so happy and looking forward to what will happen once I go in the newsroom of TV5, hopefully to maximize my skills and be a person for public service, I'm excited for Monday! You need to watch it once it comes up on the newscast, hopefully to become a complement to what Cheryl Cosim is doing, light banters, more relaxed when the news is light too."

He added "I know it's going to be hard as fake news still proliferate on social media, but TV5 is here to straighten things out, to hopefully remain not tainted and unbiased, credibility is important for me. I take care of my integrity, all these years. We need to do our research, not just follow verb mentality, not just follow what your grandparents or friends say because that plays a huge role especially mainstream news outlets. It just arrived to me, I stayed on for the network even after the franchise was taken from ABSCBN, I am moving on with my career so I don't become complacent, I am not retiring soon, I need to do more things, expand my wings, prayed a lot about this and seek guidance. I asked for signs and they gave me that. I talked to Ms Luchi and this became possible."

Here's our mediacon earlier with Julius Babao

Make sure you tune in on Monday primetime at TV5's airing of his first salvo in the Kapatid network. You're going to see him there and some other planned shows because they're doing that very soon.
