My favorite Thea Tolentino, Lianne Valentin, Liezel Lopez are now signed for stardom!
Several artists renewed ties and new ones joined Signed for Stardom, the annual Sparkle signing event for artists joining GMA. This includes Kylie Padilla, Kyline Alcantara, Ysabel Ortega, Shayne Sava, Derrick Monasterio, David Licauco, Angel Guardian, Thea Tolentino, Lianne Valentin, Liezel Lopez, Sophie Albert, Thia Thomalla, Sherilyn Reyes, Rodjun Cruz, EA Guzman, Juancho Trivino, Anjo Damiles, Luke Conde, Dustin Yu, Skye Chua, Kim Perez, Haley Dizon, Marco Masa, Princess Aliyah, Hailey Mendes, Jade Tecson, Jayson Gainza, Bianca Manalo. The event happened in the morning and we got there a bit in the late afternoon so a few of the stars left for work (and their locked in tapings) but we were pretty blessed to have been able to personally talk to some of them.
Then we also got to talk to Thea Astley and Kim Perez. Thea indulged us with her experience singing in Sunday shows whilst Kim talked more about what he could put on the table when acting challenges come soon.
Ysabel Ortega had us in on a lot of the things she's doing for Voltes V and the Miguel Tanfelix loveteam. Shayne Sava had a lot of exciting shows which she's enjoyed over the years, hence this particular signing with Sparkle was quite a welcome development for her.
As for new artists, there wasn't any shortage of that. Here's who to look forward to in the next few years of GMA shows!
This is just the start and I'm liking the way they talked to us during this short talk. They're quite promising and I hope it'll be a short amount of time to wait for them to do GMA dramas, fantasy or comedy shows in the channel. Imagine the amount of talent that GMA now has in their stable. I hope this starts pouring opportunities for them very soon.
It was fun to see the brightest stars of GMA at the SM Skydome a few days ago. Artists like the recently viral Andrea Torres, leading man Jeric Gonzales, Voltes V Legacy's Ysabel Ortega, Miguel Tanfelix, Radson Flores, Matt Lozano, Raphael Landicho, Martin del Rosario, the First Lady Sanya Lopez, businessman and actor Ken Chan all gave the fans a show they would never forget. It was a gathering of sorts, and they wanted the fans to experience how it is to be with their favorite celebrities.
Aside from that, this was also a venue to introduce new generation of Kapuso stars and the teens who just got signed by the network did not disappoint. Much of the hosting, dancing and singing numbers had them showcase what they have in store for future GMA shows. I love the Sparkada and the new ones who introduced themselves on stage, some extremely good looking ones too.

Fans won prizes through raffles and games that Kapuso stars also participated in. This event really made the celebrities accessible to their fans, as a way of thanks for all the years they supported their idols.
Make sure you follow Sparkle's social channels to get to know more of the new Kapuso stars and their new upcoming shows on the same network.
It's been a while since we've seen Ms. Marites Allen in person. She's been to the UK and different parts of the globe to share her knowledge in Feng Shui and this time, she's doing quite differently. Donned in a Rabbit Cape ensemble made by Dexter Alazas (inspired by Marites Allen's Golden Zodiac), she shared how we all could take advantage of the Year of the Water Rabbit this 2023.
What's
up with the coming Year of the Water Rabbit this 2023?
Ms. Marites Allen chimes in on what you could look forward to if you're
an avid fan of Feng Shui. 2020 was a year of new beginnings. 2021 was
the year of vaccinations, 2022 was a year of breakups while this year is
about "Letting Go!"
The center is love star, so if you want to let go, this is the opportune
time for that.
She says "In
the last 2 and a half years, I was approached by the largest publisher
in the UK and they are publishing my Chinese Astrology book this
January, you can pre order now on AMAZON UK. This will also be released
in the US and the Philippines later in the year. This is the first time I
had to be away from my children because they are growing, I have my
planner. If you are born in the year of the horse, you will be rich this
year. The best seller Almanac with lucky days and months is now also
bundled with books with special mantras, this was very helpful for me.
This include a lot of secrets you can take advantage of for the year of the Water Rabbit."
She adds "The rabbit needs to be careful because of the illness star. In 2023, if you are boar, dog, a father, you will be a little challenged this year until 2024. The next 20 years will be more for women. We cannot just rely on Feng Shui, we need to work hard to make sure things are good for us. We will be an online event on December 17 and 18. Our book is going to be available on Amazon UK. We will also enter the Metaverse, a first of its kind."
Feng Shui Enters Metaverse
If you avidly follow what she's doing every year, you know there's bound to be something new up her sleeves. She has officially been the first to officially do this in the country. She's on her infancy in entering the Metaverse. During this year's annual Feng Shui forecast (which will happen on December 17 and 18), she will be launching her Golden Zodiac books (all 12 of them) which will contain a new AR function wherein you can proudly see your own symbol just by scanning the QR code on the book itself.
You can purchase the books bundled together with the Planner and Almanac which is already available at https://frigga.com.ph/collections/books. They will also be rolling out Golden Zodiac through KALOSCOPE to begin issuing NFT's (which also has value) in order to get perks, access to exclusive events, discounts on the Frigga shop and discounts on private consultations with the Queen of Feng Shui Marites Allen.
The 2023 Feng Shui Planner, Personal Horoscope Books
If you want to have a detailed guide for the on where to place things in your house, the Feng Shui Planner is essential. The Personal Horoscope Books will also be good for reading without the need to pass through other signs as this is now in separate books. You can give this to friends, family who might need the same love and help that Ms. Marites Allen provides.
You can now purchase these items at the Frigga.co.uk or Frigga.com.ph sites or through Lazada. Tickets to her event on December can also be bought through the same websites mentioned. You can also call them via 09209509390 if you have inquiries about the event. You can also follow her social media channels as updates about this and the guides are posted there on a regular basis. This is just the glimpse of what's to come with Ms. Marites Allen, proving she's not just the Queen of Feng Shui, but of innovations as well.
I haven't, but from the looks of it, it makes total sense.
Back in the day, the parenting style in the Philippines was perceived to be very strict, ultra conservative, very matriarchal, and include flying slippers and hangers every once in a while.
Not everyone knew that parenting actually can work even if we deal with kids and do parenting in a very calm demeanor. It's properly called gentle parenting. It involves respect, understanding, empathy and setting healthy boundaries, without taking away individual happiness which is extremely important for kids. The style would make them very confident and independent too.
When a kid does something bad, don't attack the person, but the action. Tell them how you feel, introduce another way to do it and ask them why it would be better. Ease in on why you think why his actions are wrong. It also pays to be a good example. Not only would they inherit your good looks, but your manners. If you are kind, respectful, they'll see how you walk the talk and become an inspiration for them. You'll be a person that they'd aspire to become especially your good traits.
You should also encourage his/her good actions. We're not here to just point out his bad side, we should always notice how good they were at school, how they help doing chores. It's the little things that make up a huge dent on their personality because that's how positive reinforcement works. Aside from that, make the habit of asking and supporting their dreams. Be it a cashier in the restaurant, a construction worker, a truck driver, a pilot or a doctor, this will make a huge difference in the long run as they develop independence and the value of education.
