GMA-7 is currently showing the teasers for their upcoming primetime fantaserye entitled "Grazilda: Ang Bagong Cinderella"

The pilot episode of Survivor Philippines just started yesterday but the big speculation on who among from the castaways won the top prize.  It has been circulating in twitter that the winner is no other than Moi. Moi is the Yaya of actor Piolo Pascual in real life. Moi was first introduced in the movie Kimy Dora where she played the "Yaya" of Kimy and Dora.

Confidentiality Issues
On its first Season, confidentiality of the show leaked. It has been spread out that the Ultimate Survivor is JC Tiuseco. The network denied it but in the end, JC Tiuseco indeed is the winner. Now on the third installment, spreading of who among the winner is like a buzz. According to the tweets, the top 3 of the show are Moi, Karen and Aubrey. And Moi in fact the winner?

ETO, ATIN-ATIN LANG, ha? May nakatsikahan kami, super friend ni Willie Revillame. Ang tsika sa amin eh, abangan daw namin ang pagbabalik ni Willie sa Wowowee.

“Hintayin mo, nagbabakasyon lang. Kung hindi August, September ang balik niya, kaya ine-enjoy niya muna ang buhay niya ngayon. Dinadalaw-dalaw lang namin para malibang-libang.

“Saka na-realize na rin niya ang mga pagkakamali niya. Basta, wait mo na lang, okay?”

NAKU, HINDI LANG ‘yon ang nasagap naming tsika. Alam n’yo ba kung ano? Nakarating na raw sa mga co-hosts na mga girls na magbabalik na nga raw si Willie, pero dalawa sa mga babaeng co-host ang nagbaba ng panty, este, ng statement.

Ano’ng statement ito?

“Nag-usap na kaming dalawa ng kasama ko,” sey raw sa aming source, “Na ‘pag bumalik si Kuya, alis na kami. Siguro naman, hindi lang Wowowee ang puwedeng show na pasukan namin, ‘di ba? Nakapag-establish na naman kami ng pangalan kahit konti.”

Hulaan n’yo na kung sino ang dalawang co-hosts na ito na identified na identified talaga sa Wowowee.

Teka nga munit, ba’t naman aalis sila?

“Eh, siyempre, alam namin, galit siya sa amin. Saka nakapagdayalog kami noon tungkol sa pagiging gentleman ni Robin, ‘di ba? I’m sure, hindi niya gusto ‘yon!”

Juice ko, hindi na kami magbibigay pa ng clue. Basta ang mga pangalan nila ay nagsisimula sa capital letter.

HONESTLY, SA TOTOO lang, nakahinang naman nang talaga sa ulo ni Willie Revillame ang Wowowee. Oo, totoong mas malayong ‘di hamak ang karisma ni Willie kesa kay Luis Manzano.

Pero siyempre, sa negosyo namang ito, ‘pag ikaw mismo ang sumagpang sa kamay ng nagpapala sa ‘yo, wala rin namang choice ang negosyante kundi humanap nang hahalili bilang host ng Wowowee.

Pero sabi nga, wala namang gusot na hindi napaplantsa, eh. Kung sa palagay ng ABS-CBN ay panahon nang bigyan ng another chance si Willie, it’s their choice.

And I’m sure, ‘pag naibigay uli kay Willie ‘yan, I hope and I pray na hindi na ito sasayangin ni Willie. Juice ko, ang daming gustong sumagpang sa trabaho niya.

Kaya next time, no more init ng ulo on air. Kung puwede, off the air na lang para hindi sight ng mga utaw on national TV.

Nakita sa isang Chinese restaurant sa may To¬mas Morato ang isang sikat at high profile talent manager na identified sa ABS-CBN at matinee idol na talent ng GMA 7. Hindi alam kung nagkita lang dun ang dalawa o may usapan silang mag¬kita, basta ma¬rami ang naintriga nang makita silang magka¬sa¬ma’t galing sila sa magkalabang network.

Hindi naligalig ang mga taga-Channel 7 nang maba¬litaan ang tungkol dito at ‘di nila inisip na baka lumipat sa ABS-CBN ang actor in the near fu¬ture dahil may kontrata pa ito sa Channel 7. Ang alam nila, magkaibigan ang actor at ang talent manager na magaling mag¬palakad sa career ng mga talent at tiyak na mas bobongga ang ca¬reer ng actor kapag siya ang naging ma¬nager.

Pero ano nga kaya ang pinag-usapan ng actor at ng talent ma¬nager? Mukha namang hindi sila nagtatago dahil sa isang mataong lugar sila nagkita.

The country’s leading news and information cable TV channel DZMM TeleRadyo makes a big leap to the global arena in its quest to deliver the first in news and public service to Filipinos worldwide.
DZMM TeleRadyo is now being broadcast in the Middle East and Australia as part of the package offered by TFC, The Filipino Channel, to Filipinos over there. It will also be available in Europe starting June 15.

TFC has long been offering DZMM in its audio format abroad, but with the advent of DZMM TeleRadyo, global Filipinos will now be able to see their favorite anchors and view headlines, news updates, weather reports, and public service announcements.

More importantly, they will also be able to see the first video footage of the biggest and most breaking news in the Philippines from the station’s trusted Radyo Patrol Reporters.

ABS-CBN Manila Radio Division Head Peter Musngi, who recently judged in the prestigious New York Festivals Radio Programming & Promotion Awards, said this new development marks another feat for the multi-awarded radio station.

So far this year, DZMM has led in both radio and cable TV ratings to be the concurrent number one radio station and cable news channel in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, in line with its international expansion, DZMM beefed up its programs to also address the needs of global Pinoys. DZMM’s 18-year old flagship public service program “Aksyon Ngayon Global Patrol” with Kaye Dacer, Fr. Tito Caluag, and Zaldy Naguit now airs reports and concerns from ABS-CBN Global News Bureaus in North America, Middle East, Europe, and Australia.

“Usapang de Campanilla” with Lynda Jumilla, Alvin Echico, Atty. Danny Concepcion and Atty. Claire Castro, and “Magandang Gabi Dok,” with Niña Corpuz will also include legal or health queries from listeners abroad.

The whole team of DZMM is also preparing for its 24th anniversary celebration this July, which will be marked by various public service efforts such as the launch of a mobile library and clinic for children that will tour barangays nationwide.

Epektibong TV host sina Pokwang, Mariel Rodriquez at ang binatang anak ni Gov. Vilma Santos na si Luis Manzano sa Wowowee.

Alam ni Luis kung ano ang kanyang mga itatanong sa contestant at kayang-kaya niyang kunin ang loob ng nakakausap para makapag-one-up ng kanilang damdamin sa Will of Fortune segment ng programa.

Maging si Gov. Vi ay gulat din sa style ng kanyang anak at super proud siya para dito.

Samantala, kararating lamang ng pamilya nina Gov. Vi mula sa pagbabakasyon sa Amerika. Ito bale ang kanyang blowout para sa pamilya na nangarag nu’ng panahon ng kampanya. Namahinga sila sandali doon para maghanda sa mga trabahong kakaharapin niya as second-term governor ng Batangas.

With crowd favorite Tricia Santos out of the competition, it’s a free-for-all for the remaining housemates of “Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010.”

Who among Ann, Bret, Devon, Fretzie, Ivan, James, Jenny and Ryan will go all the way to the Teen Big Night on June 26 and win the title of “Teen Big Winner?”

Last Sunday (June 14), supporters of Pinoy and Teen-ternational housemates debated on the biggest issues inside the house such as which group showed more discipline, brought more joy, displayed leadership skills, and are more deserving to win in this year’s season.

To speak for Team Pinoy were PBB original Teen Edition housemate Mikee Lee, debaters from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, and DJ Charlie of Tambayan 101.9. To challenge them for the Teen-ternationals were Rona Libby of PBB Teen Edition Plus, debaters from UP Diliman and DJ Mojo Jojo of Magic 89.9.

Team Pinoy hit the Teen-ternationals for their small contributions in household chores while the other group raised the issue of backstabbing against the Pinoy housemates. While Team Pinoy raved about the Pinoys’ jokes which brought joy to viewers, Team Teen-ternational highlighted their ideas and determination during tasks.

On the final debate, Team Pinoy asserted that a Filipino should win Teen Big Winner since the show after all is called “Pinoy Big Brother.” Team Teen-ternational answered them by saying being Filipino is not measured by blood alone.

But in the end, the public will decide. Vote for your favorite housemate. To vote via mobile, just text BB (space) NAME OF HOUSEMATE and send to 2331 for Globe, Sun Cellular, TM and Bayan Wireless subscribers, and 231 for Smart and Talk N’ Text subscribers.

Don’t miss the last 10 days of “PBB Teen Clash of 2010.” Join Mariel Rodriguez in “Uber,” Toni Gonzaga on primetime and Bianca Gonzalez in “PBB Updates.”

KATUWA naman itong si Johan Santos, isa sa top five ng Pinoy Big Brother Double Up.

Imagine, kahit hindi pa kalakasan ang kanyang kinikita nu’ng pasukin ang pag-aartista after ng PBB, isini-share niya ito sa mga batang nangangailangan ng kalinga ng mga magulang.

Nag-birthday si Johan last June 1, pero na-surprise ito nang magbigay ang kanyang fans na taga-TFC for his post-birthday celebrationg kamakailan kasama ang mga batang ulila. Gi-nanap ito sa Holy Trinity Home, Accountancy St., Merry Homes Subd., Sa-uyo, Novaliches, Quezon City. Tuwang-tuwa ang mga bata nang makapiling nila kahit sa konting oras lang ang ex-PBB at aspiring actor. Namigay ng pagkain at toys si Johan sa kapus-pa-lad na mga bata kasama ang fans na ang iba ay galing pa sa ibang bansa.

Sabi tuloy namin kay Johan, sana ay hindi siyang magbabago para mas marami pang blessings ang kanyang matanggapa.

Wish naman ni Johan na magkasunud-sunod ang projects niya sa ABS-CBN. Since ma-feature si Johan sa isang episode ng My Precious Romance na ang kapareha ay si Valerie Concepcion, lalo niyang nagustuhan ang pag-arte.

“Iba pala ang pakiramdam kapag nasa harap ka ng kamera. Ang akala mo napakadali lang umarte, pero kapag andiyan na, kailangan talagang pagbutihin. Saka ang sarap ng feeling kung ang kapareha mo ay isa ding mahusay na ar-tista tulad ni Val,” kuwento ng ex-PBB housemate.

Sa tanong namin kung ba-kit malapit ang puso niya sa mga batang ulila, ani-ya:“Ayaw ko kasing maramdaman nila na tuluyan na silang walang ama. Gus-to kong ipadama sa kanila na may mga nagmamahal pa rin sa kanila kahit hindi nila kadugo. Saka naranasan ko na rin kasi ‘yun sa aking ama noo. Pero nga-yon, okey na naman kami. Lagi na siyang andiyan.”

Gustung-gusto ni Johan na makatulong sa ina at ma-bigyan ito ng magandang bu-hay kaya talagang nagsi-sikap siyang mabuti para matupad ito. Matatandaang ang unang ibinigay niya sa ina ay ang house and lot nang manalo siya sa task na ibinigay ni Big Brother sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya.

“Nagpapasalamat nga ako kay Jason (Francisco) kasi nag-give way para mapanalunan ko ang bahay. Tuwang-tuwa nga ang mother ko, eh,” say ni Johan.

May commercials na ring ginagawa si Johan.

MUKHANG lalong lalalim kung anumang relasyon mayroon sina Robin Padilla at Mariel Rodriguez.

May nagtsika sa amin na balak ng ABS-CBN ma-nagement na pagsamahin ang dalawa sa isang sitcom.

Click daw at enjoy ang mga tao kina Mariel at Robin nu’ng pansamantalang nag-host si Binoe sa Wowowee kaya nagkaroon ng idea ang Kapamilya na gawan sila ng show.

Ayon pa sa tsika, ang title ng sitcom nina Mariel at Bineo ay Palibhasa Si-kat.

Speaking of Wowowee, kahit pa marami ang nagka-clamor na magpalit ito ng format dahil sa pagbaba ng rating ng noontime show ng Dos, nagpasya ang Kapa-milya management na i-extend si Luis Manzano bilang host ng programa.

Acid test na kaya ito kay Luis kung puwede na si-yang pumalit kay Willie Revillame?

MULA sa 600,000 votes, nakaangat ng puwesto ang dating nasa 3rd spot na si Cristine Reyes, habang na-nanatili sa no.1 spot si Angel Locsin.

From no.1 slot naman ay bumaba sa top 3 position ang Kapuso star na si Marian Rivera.

Habang papalapit nang papalapit ang June 15, marami na ang nag-aabang kung sino ang uupo sa no. 1 slot ngayong taon ng FHM 100 Sexiest Woman In The World.

Mukhang ayaw paawat at hindi susuko ang avid fans ni Cristine Reyes, ang last year’s no. 1 sexiest woman ng FHM, na maiupo ulit siya sa no. 1 slot ngayong taon.

Ang iba pang nakapiwesto sa partial and un-official ranking ng FHM 100 Sexiest Women In The World ay sina Iwa Moto (4th), Erich Gonzales ( 5th), Katrina Halili (6th), Angelica panganiban (7th), Ehra Madrigal ( 8th), Bangs Garcia (9th) at Regine Velasquez (10th).

ISANG Randy Ortiz gown ang suot ni Kris Aquino last Saturday sa grand finals ng Pilipinas Got Talent sa Araneta Coliseum. Hindi rin naman nagpatalbog ang isa pang judge na si Ai-Ai delas Alas at comment nga ng isang kasamahan sa trabaho, parang ikakasal daw ang Comedy Concert Queen sa kanyang suot.

Halos mapuno ang Araneta Coliseum ng kanya-kanyang fans ng 12 grand finalists. Ilan sa tinilian nang husto ay sina Alakim, Velasco Brothers, Ezra Band, Keith Delleva, Markki Stroem at Jovit Baldovino.

But we’d say, it’s still Jovit who has the most number of supporters dahil talaga namang halos mayanig ang buong Araneta sa pagbubunyi ng kanyang mga fans.

Tama ang mga judges na sina Kris, Ai-Ai at Mr. Freddie Garcia na we have a new superstar sa katauhan ni Jovit dahil sa nakikita naming suporta ng tao sa kanya, feeling namin ay may lalaking Nora Aunor na tayo.

Tama rin si Kris sa pagsasabing may karisma sa masa si Jovit na isa sa pinakaimportanteng factors sa pagsikat ng isang tao.

Samantala, natulala naman ang buong Araneta Coliseum sa ginawang magic act ni Alakim kung saan ay bigla itong nawala sa stage at napunta sa audience sa taas ng Big Dome.

Talaga namang kamangha-mangha ang kanyang ginawa and he really deserves to be known all over the world.

Anyway, last Sunday ang announcement ng winner ng PGT at by the time na binabasa n’yo ang kolum na ito ay tiyak na alam n’yo na kung sino ang kauna-kaunahang PGT grand champion na tatanggap ng P2M.

Controversial actress Gretchen Barretto admits ABS-CBN has prohibited her from commenting further on remarks that Angelica Panganiban supposedly made against her.

"May mga bawal na akong sabihin," she said on the matter in a "TV Patrol" interview.

In a mocking tone, she added, "Hindi ako sanay na may bawal ako sabihin. Gusto ko free lang ako magsalita."

The actress then pointed at people behind the camera, the ABS-CBN staff, saying, "Tignan mo, tignan mo sila...laging may mga nakabantay... I feel caged."

ABS-CBN has a good reason to feel worried about the brewing word war between Barretto and Panganiban.

Only a few weeks earlier, the network had to deal with another word war involving "Wowowee" host Willie Revillame and ABS-CBN talent Jobert Sucaldito. The consequential furor put a question mark in the future of one of the network's sacred cash cows after Revillame was ordered not to appear on his show for several months.

Barretto, who is on a comeback trail, stars in one of the network's much-awaited -- and spent on -- series, "Magkaribal."

Her word war against Panganiban stemmed from statements the former made during a recent promotional media blitz for the series, which co-stars, not coincidentally, Panganiban's beau, actor Derek Ramsay.

Commenting on Ramsay's upcoming South African vacation with Panganiban, Barretto said: "Masa-sad ako siyempre kasi wala ng kwento. Hihintayin ko 'yong mga kwento niya (Ramsay). Pictures na lang, hihintayin ko mga pictures niya. Solo pictures lang ha. (looking at Ramsay) Gusto ko ikaw lang, walang iba."

Barretto, who admitted in previous interviews that she has a "crush" on Ramsay, openly hugged the actor on cam.


GALIT NA GALIT pa rin hanggang ngayon pala si Marian Rivera sa Channel 2 partikular na sa programang TV Patrol, kung saan ang feeling ng aktres ay sinadyang palabasin siyang “bobita” matapos na magsalita siya noon ng: “I am a psychology!”

Ito ang napag-alaman ng Pinoy Parazzi matapos na namin siyang tangkaing kausapin sa product endorsement ng Panasonic na ginawa sa Edsa Shangri-La.

Ayon sa aming source, nang malaman umano ni Marian na may naghihintay sa kanyang TV crew ng Dos, agad itong tumalilis ng alis matapos ang kanyang pagsasalita sa stage. “Galit pa rin siya hanggang ngayon, kaya sorry na lang po sa mga taga-GMA at TV5 dahil nadamay kayo,” pahayag ng isang taong malapit sa aktres.

Sa kabilang banda, bukod sa personal niyang “galit” ay posibleng iniiwasan pa rin ni Marian na pag-usapan ang isyung isa siyang dalagang ina. Dahil hanggang ngayon, tuluy-tuloy na pinag-uusapan ang pagkakaroon niya ng anak sa pagkadalaga.

Noong gabing iyon, nakita rin namin sa Shangri-La si Dingdong Dantes (na hindi kasama ni Marian). Tinangka naming kausapin si Dingdong, pero tumangging magbigay-komento ang binata.

The Philippines’ Lopez Group is mulling a move which would see it merging its telecoms arm Bayan Telecommunications Holdings Corp (BayanTel) into its media division ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp, The Business Mirror writes. It is thought the move is part of efforts to increase synergies between the two firms. Benpres Holdings Corp chairman Oscar Lopez is quoted as saying the plan for convergence is being spearheaded by ABS-CBN chairman and CEO Eugenio L Lopez III. However, in order for the plan to be realised, Lopez needs first to resolve the court-mandated restructuring programme imposed on the telco six years ago. Benpres is the listed holding company for the Lopez group’s energy, media and telecoms businesses. It owns a majority stake in BayanTel together with privately held Lopez Inc. Meanwhile, Benpres also controls a 57% stake in ABS-CBN.

Local industry watchers say it is unclear as to how BayanTel’s sizeable debts will impact on the balance sheet of ABS-CBN, a profitable company which is currently forecasting ‘significant’ double-digit growth in 2010, up from PHP1.7 billion last year. At the end of 2009, BayanTel had reportedly paid a total of PHP1.42 billion for both principal and interest obligations. This brings the company’s debt payments to PHP5.92 billion since 2004. The telco’s 1Q10 net revenues dipped 7% year-on-year to PHP1.522 billion compared with the same period in 2009. BayanTel’s data business, which accounts for half of total revenues and includes direct subscriber line and corporate date services, were ‘slightly’ down during the period under review.

NADULAS si Kris Aquino nang banggiting travel show ang next show niya sa ABS-CBN at nangyari ito habang naghihintay sa Saturday telecast ng Pilipinas Got Talent. May lumapit lang kay Kris at sinabihan siyang ’wag munang itsika ang bagong show niya kaya ’di nakapagbigay ng ibang details.


Samantala, hindi na natuloy si Kris papunta sa Ormoc kahapon para mag-distribute ng school supplies sa mga taga-Ormoc dahil hectic ang schedule niya, pero isa sa kanyang mga kapatid ang pumunta.

Today, sa Payatas magdi-distribute ng school supplies ang mga kapatid ni Kris na sina Ballsy, Viel at Pinky.

Bukas sa Zamboanga sina Ballsy at Pinky ang pupunta at diretso sila sa Bacolod sa June 17. Sa June 22, si Kris ang pupunta sa Cebu for the same purpose.

In 2002, after its "Saya Ng Summer" station ID (yes, the one that started it all), ABS-CBN made a very interesting follow-up: a rainy season station ID. In those days, the idea was quite novel. Making one for summer is expected since it is a much-anticipated, festive (and not to mention, commercially lucrative) season as Filipino culture and tradition dictate. But to make one for a time of the year when we're always wary of an incoming typhoon, most likely to catch illnesses, or when even the most basic things like having our clothes dried or commuting to school or work give us much stress? That was unheard of, and maybe a little bit unnecessary.

But wet season hassles aside, we Filipinos, of course, have our melodramatic and sentimental side that nurtures a love affair with the rain. In fact, we have a vast collection of Pinoy songs that romanticize the rainy days.


And in 2002, ABS-CBN tapped into this emotional attachment we have with the season of downpours, and the "Sukob Na" station ID was born. Instead of havoc, diseases or horrendous traffic, the station ID reminded us of the things we enjoy about the season, equating rain with comfort, togetherness and love. And with that video of stars either playing in the rain outside or enjoying their bonding time indoors, warmth was given to the hearts of the viewers in those cold times, and ABS-CBN from then on owned the idea of having a rainy day season station ID.

That particular station ID is easily one of ABS-CBN's most memorable. It had a feel-good song by local boyband 17:28 that became sort of an unofficial rainy day anthem, plus touching Kapamilya moments that strengthened the Network's promise of being there for their viewers come rain or shine.

For quite some time, ABS-CBN never released another one of its kind, or if they did, it obviously is not as memorable as their "Sukob Na" campaign. But this year, ABS-CBN promised to lead the nation once again in welcoming the rainy season. And right on the first few moments of the 2010 rainy season station ID, we had the feeling that we've heard that song before. And are we right about this feeling. In a shocking twist of events, ABS-CBN known for giving us station IDs that are always different than the previous ones, did a rehash.

Technically, it's not an ID for the entire network's programming. It's made for ABS-CBN's commemoration of the 60 years of the Pinoy Soap Opera. "Sukob na 2010" uses the same song, now interpreted by Aiza Seguerra, but of course, with a less R&B/Pop boyband and a more natural, subdued and acoustic feel. It features the lead stars of ABS-CBN's current and upcoming teleseryes.

The SID becomes surprising in this aspect. Although we're familiar with Xyriel Manabat from Momay, and Empress, Felix Roco and Matt Evans from Rosalka, our curiosity is piqued by the sudden pairing of Cristine Reyes with Zanjoe Marudo and Jericho Rosales with Anne Curtis. Some viewers might find it unusual that Gretchen Barretto--considered to be a high-society personality--is suddenly on a picnic mantel with Bea Alonzo. Soon, La Greta will finally star in her own teleserye titled Magkaribal. There's also the appearance of Kristine Hermosa with Piolo Pascual enjoying the rain with Zaijian Jaranilla (a.k.a. Santino). The matinee idol is currently busy shooting for this teleserye titled Noah.


One thing is clear: John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin is now officially ABS-CBN's 'flagship' love team, being placed on the important end frames. Fans of the two are looking forward to their upcoming fantaserye Imortal.


Given her pregnancy, it's understandable why ABS-CBN's declared "face of Pinoy Soap Opera" Judy Ann Santos is not included in this plug.

Forgetting all these issues about the personalities, the station ID still evokes the same heartwarming feelings we had when we saw the first version eight years ago. Again, the SID makes us forget everything we hate about the rainy season, and envelope us with that certain mood of cherishing all that's good and beautiful about the cool and damp weather.

And technically, this ID is leaps and bounds better than the original. With its impressive visuals coupled with soothing music, it's such a joy and pleasure to watch, as comforting as a hot soup on a rainy day. Come on, whose heart will not melt with scenes like that of little adorable Momay playing in the rain? Beautifully shot and superbly directed, this ID makes you want to join the stars in playing, dancing and chasing each other under the calming raindrops.

In the end, the ID being a rehash (or in a more positive term, an update), even worked to its advantage. Like rediscovering old photographs or old records we used to like, it brings us back to past emotional moments and help bring a sense of nostalgia. And in the time of El Niño when we long begged the skies and the gods for rain, Sukob Na 2010 shows us that the time we have been waiting for has come, and it is worth celebrating too, just like summer or Christmas.

Watch the ABS-CBN Station ID:

Jun 3, 2010

May Bukas Pa's "Santino" Zaijan Jaranilla and Piolo Pascual are going back to primetime with another adventure fantaserye titled "Noah"!

According to a reliable source, cast includes Kristine Hermosa, Carmen Soo, Diether Ocampo and Jolo Revilla.

Since Magkaribal is replacing Rubi, Imortal is replacing Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo and Kokey is replacing Agua Bendita, Noah might premiere later this year or early next year.

Bench Fashion Show in Mall of Asia.




Zanjoe Marudo aired his side on ex-girlfriend Mariel Rodriguez’s recent admission that they are no longer a couple. Mariel finally shed light on the controversy when she broke her silence on the May 29 episode of

Entertainment Live. She shared that Zanjoe’s priority right now is his family, so their relationship needed to
be set aside. However, Mariel clarified that they are still good friends and that they continue to communicate with each other. As a matter of fact, the Wowowee host even attended Zanjoe’s golf tournament, Z Cup, yesterday.

In an interview with The Buzz, Zanjoe also supported Mariel’s claim that they continue to communicate and the actor even insinuated that there is still a chance of patching things up. “Wala naman kaming… ako, wala naman akong planong talagang mawala kami o ‘yung mapunta ako sa iba (at) mapunta siya sa iba,” Zanjoe said.


Zanjoe explained that he prefers to keep things about the split between him and Mariel as much as possible to avoid the matter getting out of hand. “Kasi kapag once na marami pa tayong kinuwento, marami pa tayong ipinaliwanag, mas hahaba pa nang hahaba,” he said. “Heto nga’t pinipilit naming sa amin na lang ito tsaka, ayusin, sa amin na lang. May mga nadadamay kasi at naiiba-iba na ‘yung ispekulasyon ng tao.”
Mariel already clarified that there are no third parties involved in their split. She also denied the speculations that Robin Padilla, who became a guest co-host for Wowowee, is supposedly courting her. Mariel stated too that there is no truth to Zanjoe dating actress Cristine Reyes, with whom he is working on a project with

Matapos ang dalawang linggong pagiging guest co-host ni Robin Padilla sa Wowowee ay inamin niyang nami-miss niya ang show at ang mga tao rito. “Miss ko sila hindi ako nakatulog parang biglang nabago ang buhay mo, biglang isang araw nawala lahat ‘yon,” ani Robin sa panayam ng The Buzz.


Nagbigay rin siya ng malamang pahayag nang tanungin kung papayag ba siyang bumalik sa show kung alukin siya. “Ako po’y handang bumalik gusto ko lang ng malinaw na usapan. ‘Yun lang ang gusto ko. Ayoko lang mapagbintangan ako na nang-agaw.”

Sinagot din ng action superstar ang napapabalitang pagkakamabutihan umano nila ng isa pang Wowowee co-host na si Mariel Rodriguez na kamakailan ay kinumpirmang nagkahiwalay na sila ni Zanjoe Marudo. “Sa apat na sulok ng Wowowee nanliligaw ako,” ani Robin pero hindi raw sa totoong buhay. “Sino ba’ng lalaking hindi mabibighani kay Mariel?” dagdag pa niya.

Napapabalita kasing isa raw sa dahilan kung bakit nagkahiwalay sina Mariel at Zanjoe ay dahil nga nililigawan si Mariel ni Robin. Pero nauna nang itinanggi ito ni Mariel. Kung magkakaroon man siya ng relasyon, sinabi ni Robin na kailangan ding matanggap ng kanyang susunod na makakarelasyon ang kanyang sitwasyon. “Una, tatanggapin ang sitwasyon ko, ang priority ko ‘yung foundation ko, alam ng dalaga ‘yon na uunahin ko ‘yon bago siya,” pagpapaliwanag ni Robin.

Kitang-kita ang ebidensya, lumaki na nga si Santino dahil kay Bro.

Hindi nga namatay si Celine Crisanto, ang karakter ni Kris Aquino sa teleseryeng "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo".

Narito ang mga patunay na kung saan nag-tape na ang aktress sa kanyang muling paglabas sa nasabing teleserye. Papaano kaya nakatakas sa pagsabog ng bus si Celine? Papaano kaya napunta si Celine sa baryong ito?




Wag kalimutang subaybayan ang kapana-panabik na eksena ng Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo pagkatapos ng Agua Bendita.

MANILA, Philippines - Action star Robin Padilla, who admits he has become used to being called the "Videoke King," said he already misses hosting "Wowowee."


"Hinahanap ko na ang studio. Hinahanap ko na ang mga rehearsal ng kanta," Padilla revealed in an interview over radio dzMM's morning program, "Magandang Morning with Julius and Tintin Babao" on Saturday.

He said he has not recovered from the sadness brought by his leaving the noontime variety show on Friday.

"Medyo ako ay nalulungkot talaga. Hanggang ngayon, hanggang kagabi sa pagpikit ng aking mga mata ay nalulungkot ako. Nasanay na akong tumira sa [ABS-CBN] eh," he said.

Padilla revealed during the radio interview that for the past 2 weeks, he has been sleeping in his dressing room at the ABS-CBN compound in Quezon City.

He said he asked the ABS-CBN management's permission to live temporarily at the compound because he did not want to be late for the noontime show.

The action star said the daily rehearsals usually end at 11 p.m. and he needs to wake up as early as 6 a.m. for follow up rehearsals.

He said ABS-CBN provided him a "special chair" that he can sleep on inside his dressing room.

"Meron po. Malambot naman na upuan. Espesyal naman na upuan," Padilla said.

Padilla bid "Wowowee" goodbye on Friday. Regular co-hosts Pokwang and Mariel Rodriguez were seen crying their hearts out during Binoe's farewell.

There were reports that ABS-CBN tried to convince him to stay on, but he refused because the action star did not want to get caught in the middle of the network's issues with the show's on-leave host, Willie Revillame.

"Sa buong dalawang linggo na iyon ang pinakamakulay na parte ng buhay ko. Gigisingin ako ng manager ko alas-sais [para sabihin na] dalawa ang kanta mo ngayon. Eight may rehearsal ka, piñano, acappela, gitara, rehearsal sa banda," Padilla said.

Not really leaving ABS-CBN?

Padilla, meanwhile, hinted during the radio interview that he may stay on with ABS-CBN for a show.

He said that before the ABS-CBN bosses asked him to temporarily host "Wowowee," there were already talks for him to do a show for the network.

"Iyon po ay mga naunang pag-uusap iyon, noong wala pa po ang [offer] sa "Wowowee." Marami nang pag-uusap sa ABS-CBN," he said.

The actor added that there were also hints that he may shoot a movie with Pokwang and Rodriguez, who was constantly teased with the guest host in the past 2 weeks.

Aside from the potential shows with ABS-CBN, Padilla said that he received different project offers while hosting "Wowowee."

For the second straight year, ABS-CBN Corporation was honored by the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD) as one of the top-performing companies of 2009 in terms of corporate governance and compliance practices.

ABS-CBN, which is the only multimedia company to win the recognition for two consecutive years, is among the 30 companies that scored highly and at par with international standards.

The annual event aims to promote transparency, accountability and the general practice of good corporate governance in all publicly-listed companies in the Philippines. Various corporations from different sectors were graded based on the rights of shareholders, equitable treatment of shareholders, role of stakeholders, disclosure and transparency, and board responsibilities in the company.

The ICD conducted the Corporate Governance Scorecard with the help of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Philippine Stock Exchange, and the Ateneo School of Law.

ABS-CBN has recently changed its name from ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation to ABS-CBN Corporation to reflect the company’s evolution from a broadcasting network to a multimedia conglomerate.

“We want the public to recall ABS-CBN as not just broadcast-centric company. Through the years, we have been exploring various media platforms aside from broadcasting,” said Eugenio Lopez III, chairman and CEO of ABS-CBN at the company’s annual stockholders meeting.

A day after their word war on Showtime, Vice Ganda made an apology to Tado.

Here’s the transcript of his lengthy speech:
“Para po doon sa mga hindi nakapanood, nagkaroon po kami ng mga hindi pagkakaunawaan ni Tado dahil sa kanyang paniniwala o sa kanyang nasabi na, ‘Mabuti pang magnakaw kaysa mamakla,’ na sadyang hindi ko po talaga kayang tanggapin at ikinasama ng loob ko at ng loob ng napakaraming bakla at ng ibang tao sa Pilipinas, bakla man o hindi…”
“Para po sa akin, hanggang ngayon po ay naninindigan ako na kailanman ay hindi magiging tama at hindi magiging mabuti ang pagnanakaw. Gayunpaman, ako rin po ang nakagawa ng isang pagkakamali. Maaaring sa akin po ay kasuklam-suklam ang binitawang pahayag ni Tado, ngunit hindi rin naman kahanga-hanga ang ginawa kong pagpapahayag ng aking damdamin kahapon dahil pinahayag ko ang aking paniniwala nang may kasamang galit at pagkapikon. At ‘yang ugali pong ‘yan ay sadyang kasuklam-suklam din at hindi kapuri-puri…”

“Mga kapamilya, ako po ay marunong manindigan sa mga paniniwalang para sa akin ay tama. Ngunit tanggap ko rin naman po at alam kong tanggapin kung kailan ako nagkamali. Inaamin kong kahapon po ay nagkamali din ako dahil naging mapusok ako at nagpadala ako sa aking emosyon. Kaya hayaan n’yo po akong buong-pusong humingi at buong-pagpapakumbabang humingi ng paumanhin sa lahat ng mga manonood na hindi nagustuhan ang pangyayari kahapon…”

“Sa inyo pong lahat, maaring nakaapekto po siya sa kasiyahan na iyon, patawarin n’yo po ako. At gayundin kay Tado. Tado, nasaktan mo nang malalim ang damdamin ko. Ngunit alam kong nasaktan din naman kita sa mga pahayag ko kaya hayaan mong humingi ako ng paumanhin sa ‘yo…”

“Ang Showtime po ay nilikha para magpasaya ng mga Pilipino. Kaya hindi magandang nakikita na hindi tayo nagkakaunawaan sa telebisyon. Inaamin ko po, at mayroon po kaming natutunan sa pagkakamaling ito. Let us all work from this mistake, from this experience. Peace, peace, peace tayo, Tado. Love, love love.”

During the Philippine launch of Charice’s international album which was held at Glorietta 4 park this afternoon, the new pop princess dropped a hint about a certain “surprise.”


Fresh from the success of her international album on the Billboard charts, Charice graced the Glorietta 4 Park in Makati this afternoon to formally launch the album in the country which is distributed locally by Warner Music Philippines. Her fans were delighted to witness Charice perform some songs from her album live. These songs are “Thank You,” “Reset,” the Ryan Tedder song “I Did It For You,” “Nobody Singin’ to Me,” “I Love You,” the David Foster song “In This Song” and her hit single which topped the Billboard Dance/Club chart, “Pyramid.”

During the mini-concert, Charice mentioned a certain “surprise” that according to her, “will surely delight her fans in the coming days.” That’s why during the short press conference after the show, some reporters asked for some hints regarding the “surprise.”

“Basta in na in po siya ngayon,” she said.

So speculations among the members of the press popped instantly that Charice might appear on the top-rating musical tv series “Glee.” Glee is currently the most popular tv program in the US that some Hollywood stars expressed their interest to appear as guests on the hit tv show.

If ever it’s the “surprise” that Charice dropped during her album launch earlier, it will be another milestone for the young diva who already appeared on a Hollywood movie and numerous talk shows in the US.

Bong Osorio, Head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications, sent Starmometer the following statement regarding the meeting between ABS-CBN and Wowowee host Willie Revillame.

Here is the official statement released by ABS-CBN:


Natuloy na rin kahapon ang naudlot na meeting sa pagitan ng kontrobersyal na host ng Wowowee na si Willie Revillame at ng CEO ng ABS na si Mr. Gabby Lopez.

Subalit sa Miyerkulas pa malalaman ang opisyal na desisyon kung "stay" or "go" na ito sa ABS-CBN.

Bandang alas-singko ng hapon ang schedule ng meeting. Nung una'y between Gabby at Willie lang ang pag-uusap pero ipinasam ang ABS-CBN President na si Charo Santos-Concio.

Kung noong 2004, nasa limelight ang GMA ngayon naman ay napaka-opposite naman ang nangyari. Unti-unti na ngang nilamon ng ABS ang kapuso network.


Narito ang mga haka-haka ukol sa UNTI UNTING PAGBAGSAK NG GMA...

1) Ang patuloy na pagsisinungaling sa publiko.

2) Ang pandarayang ginagawa nila sa monthly reports na kadalasan ay incomplete data pa ang basehan.

3) Ang paggamit ng praise releases na Number 1 daw sila for a certain months pero pag binasa mo ang article, don mo makikita na one week lang pala ang basehan nila at pinipili pa yung weeks na mataas rating nila.

4) Ang sobrang pagyayabang at pagbubuhat ng sariling bangko na nakakairita na sa manonood dahil puro naman kasinungalingan.

5) Ang patuloy na PANLOLOKO sa publiko. (Hologram????)

ABS CBN laging mapagkumbaba yan, mataas o mababa man rating nila never silang nagbubuhat ng sariling bangko. pinapakita nila kung ano ang totoo sa publiko. wala silang takot isiwalat ang katotohanan maski talents pa nila ang involved.

ABS CBN never nagyabang sa telebisyon o kaya ay naghamon.
