Diva Will End Tomorrow Friday July 30

2010-07-29T22:48:00.003+08:00

I like watching Diva starred Regine Velasquez, not for any reasons that you have right now. I like it because it has an element of rumor and musicality. It made the program unique for a tv primetime show. I don't remember anything like that show that has ever aired on Philippine TV since I was born. Now tomorrow is the end of the tv program. They have shown us teasers and already know what will be happening. So let's see tomorrow night. It will be the last anyway.

PANATA SA BAYAN

by Sugarfree

GMA News Anthemn

(50th Anniversary celebration)

Alin mang sulok ng daigdig aabutin
di hahagip ang kapapanahong balita.

kapuso tayo kapag sa pagbabalita
kapuso ikaw at ako
kapuso tayo kapag sa pag babalita
di pa kakapit kanino man

katotohanang magpapalaya sa bayan
katotohanang magpapalaya sa bayan
katotohanan ang panata namin,
katotohanan ang panata namin,
katotohanan ang panata namin sa bayan

I don't have the complete/full lyrics of the song. I just typed it while listening to it so this lyrics may contain error, please bare with me. I am not GMA staff. Certified Kapuso faithful.

Manny Pacqiuao in Steroids?

Chris Brown sentenced in Rihanna assault case

2009-08-26T10:58:00.002+08:00

Here is another celebrity icon who is sentenced for maltreating a lover. Taken from Yahoo News.

AP, Aug 25, 2009 7:02 pm PDT

A judge on Tuesday sentenced Chris Brown to five years' probation and six months' community labor for the beating of Rihanna and ordered the R&B singer to stay away from his former girlfriend for the next five years.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg told Brown that he could be sent to state prison if he violated any terms of his sentence, including an order to stay 100 yards away from Rihanna unless they're attending music industry events.

A probation report prepared for Tuesday's sentencing describes two previous violent incidents. It said the first happened about three months before the February beating while the couple was traveling in Europe; Rihanna slapped Brown during an argument, and he shoved her into a wall. In the second instance, Brown allegedly broke the front and passenger side windows on a Range Rover they were driving while visiting Barbados, Rihanna's home country. Neither attack was reported, the probation report states.

Brown will serve his sentence in his home state — Virginia — and his community labor will be overseen by the police chief in Richmond.

The judge said she wanted to ensure that Brown, 20, performs physical labor instead of community service, such as mentoring young people. He will also undergo a year of domestic violence counseling.

Rihanna did not attend Tuesday's sentencing.

At one point, Brown, who was accompanied by his mother, agreed to the terms of the sentence before Schnegg had finished going through them all.

The hearing had been planned for Thursday afternoon, but Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, asked to move up the singer's sentencing to Tuesday. A previous attempt to sentence Brown was postponed when Schnegg said she hadn't received adequate assurances that Brown would perform physical labor if allowed to serve probation in Virginia.

The judge said she was satisfied with a letter presented by Geragos that Richmond Police Chief Bryan T. Norwood will directly oversee Brown's labor program.

After Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault in June, Schnegg ordered the pair to stay away from each other and to not contact one another. Her order Tuesday essentially extended that until Brown completes his sentence.

Donald Etra, Rihanna's attorney, has said he didn't think the strict rules were necessary, but that he and Rihanna favored a less-stringent ruling that simply ordered Brown not to annoy, harass or molest the 21-year-old pop singer. He said after Tuesday's hearing that Rihanna did not object to the stay-away order, which allows the former couple to be within 10 yards of each other if they are attending music industry events.

Schnegg said she was aware of reports that Brown had been spotted on several occasions in the same places as Rihanna.

"I am not amused with the chatter that has been on the airwaves and any violation of your probation in this case comes with the potential for state prison," Schnegg told Brown.

A felony charge of making criminal threats was dropped during Tuesday's sentencing.

"We feel that the sentence for Mr. Brown is an equitable one," said Sandi Gibbons, a district attorney's spokeswoman. "He has his future in his hands. He has control of his fate."

Gibbons said Brown's charge could eventually be reduced to a misdemeanor if he completes his sentence.

Brown was arrested Feb. 8, hours after he was accused of beating Rihanna.

The attack occurred in Los Angeles' Hancock Park neighborhood as Brown drove a rented sports car. A Los Angeles police detective described a brutal attack in a search warrant affidavit filed in the case, stating Brown hit, choked and bit Rihanna and tried at one point to push her from the car.

Brown's career suffered after his arrest, with sponsors dropping him and radio stations refusing to play his music. Both he and Rihanna had to cancel several high-profile appearances, including planned performances at the Grammy Awards the day of the attack.

In a probation report released after the sentencing, Brown is quoted as saying he was "depressed" since the attack and that he "'does not want to carry on that cycle.'"

The report included letters of support for Brown from RCA/Jive Label Group Chairman Barry Weiss as well as an entertainment lawyer and a pastor.

Micheal Jackson's Death

2009-07-03T11:39:00.004+08:00

Who among us do not recognize the very famous singer and dancer? Well he is not really my favorite but I have his songs as my favorite. Not just a favorite but one of my all time favorite.

Before I will say the title of my favorite song, I would like to tell you also that I am not very much emotional on his death. In fact I was not shocked when the news came that he was dead. However, yes! I do admire him but he is not the best for me, neither I do not see him as someone to be "idolized". The simple fact is that I just like his high pitched voice especially when he was still young.

Now, the title of the song I liked very much in which he was the original singer, maybe he wrote that is the..... DRUM BEATS....

1. One Day in Your Life and BETTER VERSION
2. Ben (go look for it in youtube)

I give emphases on these two songs because even before when I was young, I still do not even know who sang these songs, I already liked them. The melody and its rhythm is truly appealing to me ears and this I really love these songs. There are also other songs I liked from him but these two are the best for me.This only proves my melancholy.

Still I would give tribute to his very rare talent!

Zorro

2009-03-24T21:46:00.003+08:00

Richard Gutierrez once again the leading star of GMA's newest teledrama. Premiered last Monday, March 23, 2009. Though I was not able to watch that night, I think it was great. I settings is in Spanish period and including the language where they mix it with Spanish and tagalog. They hire a teacher, a real Spanish speaking teacher to make it more realistic. I still don't know its plot and story and there might be similarities to the original story of Zorro.

It was good to hear the GMA actually bought the title Zorro since it is of copyright. I could say that GMA or the Zorro staff had spent much money and efforts making this TV series a successful one. The dresses are all unique since they created it themselves and did not rent for it. The horses used are of top class and many more. Watch it and you will enjoy. It will start right after 24 Oras and that is about 8 in the evening from Mondays to Wednesdays.

Manny Pacquiao vs Solar Sports

2009-03-19T22:07:00.004+08:00

I was shock to hear Manny Pacquiao's announcement in ABS CBN that he would like to air his fight with Ricky Hatton from Solar Sports. We all have knew that Manny Pacquiao was in ABS CBN at first but since when he received a worldwide recognition in the field of boxing, Solar Sports (one of the biggest television company that features sports) had become his way to get more fame to the world. Solar Sport Entertainment is serious of filing a case against him for breaking his 4 year contract with them. The contract between the two will supposedly end on May 6, 2011 for airing his fights. It was clear the Manny Pacquiao broke this contract. Solar Sports will also file a case against ABS CBN. This is a very sensitive issue with him. I know this involve a lot of money in either parties including third party and so on. It is just evident that Manny Pacqiuao now has been blinded by wealth and power. I think he accepted ABS CBN's offer that if he will air his fight to ABS CBN, they will promise to help him run for a public government position. He accepted that for money, fame and power. Manny has become more materialistic now and it is a minus points for me.

Besides the fact that he has two active show appearances in GMA7, he still accepted that, and that is, well you must admit, that this is all ABS CBN's way to pull Manny to their network, and get blinded by the network's offer. Clever! On the other hand, there is a contract also between GMA7 and Manny Pacqiuao effective since he is appearing in two of GMA7's shows, Totoy Bato and Pinoy Records.

However, Manny Pacquiao after knowing his faults decided again to pull out his decision and go back to Solar Sports and fulfill their contract. I hope Manny will not get deceived again by clever people. I think now the case is over.

Francis Magalona

2009-03-06T22:50:00.004+08:00

One of my favorite singer in the 90s. I remember the days on my grade school days where we dance the song of Mr Francis M.'s "Mga Kababayan Ko" with a few lines of its lyrics: "Mga Kababayan ko, dapat lang malaman mo, bilib ako sa kulay ko ako ay Pilipino, mayrung itim at may puti, meron namang kayumangi, isipin mo na kaya mong abutin ang yun minimithi.... " This is my favorite song that he ever sang on those younger days I have. I a can have nostalgic feeling when I hear the song.

I was watching Eat Bulaga on Friday noon, March 6 unaware that Francis M. passed away. I did not even notice any of Eat Bulaga's hosts showing grief and sadness for the loss of their co host.

Details:
Excerpt from wikipedia.com

Starting out as a breakdancer in the early 1980s, he followed in his parents' footsteps and ventured out into acting, appearing in several Filipino movies; he branched out to emceeing and released the groundbreaking album Yo! in 1990 garnering the nationalistic hit Mga Kababayan (My Countrymen), making Yo! the first commercially released Pinoy rap album in the Philippines. While rapping politically conscious and thought-provoking rhymes in both English and Tagalog, the album was a big success and instantly helped catapult Filipino hip hop from underground to mainstream status, also marking the birth of Makabayang or Nationalistic rap in Filipino hip hop.

In 1992, Francis Magalona released Rap Is FrancisM (1992), which was highly regarded as one of the greatest Pinoy Rap albums. With tracks addressing the various cultural and social problems that plagued his country such as drug addiction in "Mga Praning" (Paranoids), political instability in "Halalan" (Elections) as well as the detrimental effects of a colonial mentality in "Tayo'y Mga Pinoy" (We Are Filipinos), the record's complexity and conscious message quickly earned it its classic status and became the standard by which future albums of the genre were to be compared.

Health

Magalona, 43, was diagnosed on August 8, 2008, with leukemia at the Medical City Hospital, Pasig. He appealed for privacy.

I don’t want a media circus. I want privacy with my family. What I’d rather talk about is how we can solicit blood donations to replace the supply that I have consumed in the hospital. It was very gradual, hindi siya biglaang lumabas (it did not come out so suddenly). We don’t want to use the word ‘curable,’ but the doctors say it’s treatable.
—Pia Arroyo-Magalona, Francis’ wife

After his treatment and discharge, he made his return on Eat Bulaga together with Ely Buendia, who was also recently discharged.

Death

On March 6, 2009, it was reported that Francis Magalona succumbed to acute myelogenous leukemia at 12:00 noon that day, a few days after his fourth chemotherapy session and a few days before his supposed stem cell transplant. The announcement was first made on Eat Bulaga!, a variety show of which he had been a host prior to his health problems.

Golfreisen - Golf Holidays

2009-02-23T00:42:00.004+08:00

Many of our local celebrities here do play golf. I know most of you can name some. Most of them are famous and rich like business men and politicians and hey do not forget celebrities. We do not have a team here in the Philippines that represent our country to play globally but we also have good golf players. Unfortunately, I can not name one. Besides, I do not know how to play golf as well. Though we have plenty of golf ranges in the country or even in our local cities, I still have not managed to learn it since learning golf is so expensive.

The internet provides us with different ways to learn on how to play golf and include there suggestions for good golf ranges and suggestions for golf clubs and balls for perfect playing condition. Include there a bunch of techniques and styles for perfect swing. I knew some websites that focuses solely on the game, golf. Golfreisen is a German word which means golf holidays. The website I am talking about is in German language, but we can always translate it to any language we want. Internet can do that for us. Now, these websites namely Golfreisen , Golf Reisen , and Golfurlaub are websites that talks about golf. Anything related to golf is in them from selling to suggestions. They have golf shop, golf news and golf vacations. They also teach golf and everything, like I said; they tackle things solely about golf. So visit their websites now.

The website they have is in German language, which most of us cannot understand. I can help you with that. Visit the site of google translate. Visit this http://translate.google.com/translate_t# or simply http://translate.google.com. Then copy the website’s url and paste it in the text field of google translate website. Make sure to select German to English to have a correct result. Or you can just put in “detect language” then hit “Translate” Then you are done. Happy Golfreisen!

Wow Mali

2009-02-22T23:16:00.005+08:00

The revival of Wow Mali, finally aired this Sunday evening, February 22, 2009 with familiar setup. As usual hosted by Mr Joey de Leon, it was funnier than ever. Practical joke, actual gag show along the streets with random people as victims.

Wow Mali has become the Original Philippine practical gag show aired over ABC (Associated Broadcasting Company) Now TV5. It has been imitated several times by different directors and television channel. "Victim" by ABS CBN and even GMA's Yari Ka by Micheal V. took the idea from this show and a lot more. I see this as a potential rival/counterpart of Yari Ka!, since they have almost the same set up. Though they do not have the same timeslot, (with Wow Mali and Bitoy's Funniest Viedeo, where Yari Ka is shown) I still can see rivalry. Jeoy de Leon and Micheal V are good friends, infact they are both in our favorite noon time show Eat Bulaga. IDK... what do you think?

Bubble Gang

2009-02-20T15:25:00.006+08:00

Bubble Gang is my favorite gag show. I have been watching this ever since I was young. Though I can no longer recall the past gags made by them in the past, I could still recall some of the gags which tickles me some times.

When I was still in grade 5(1995), I enjoyed watching Tropang Trumpo in ABC 5. I could not forget the Smokey Manaloto (one of Tropang Trumpo's cast) singing and dancing "Caronia" immitating the edvertisement of Coronia, a nail polish. I have fun watching them. I was young then and on that same year about October, Bubble Gang was aired to counterpart Tropang Trumpo. They almost have the same programs. The main casts who are pioneer of the show are Ogie Alcasid, Micheal V, Antonio Aquitaña and Wendell Ramos. Diego and Myka came in later and the rest came in a few years ago.

Exerpts from Wikipedia.com

Bubble Gang first aired on GMA Network on October 1995 as a counterpart to ABC's gag show Tropang Trumpo. The show occupied the Friday night timeslot of the now-defunct musical variety show "Vilma! on Seven". Two of its first cast members; Ogie Alcasid and Michael V. came from that show. GMA hired two talents from ace talent manager, Douglas Quijano Wendell Ramos and Antonio Aquitania. During its first year, it was shown around 7:00 in the evening and carried a slogan "Bubble Gang: Just chew it!"

Art Angel is a kiddie educational show that provides good time for kids in television and it aims to promote art as a art as accessible and doable and fun to do as well. Art Angel is aired every Saturday mornings on GMA Network hosted by Pia Archangel and Tonipet Gaba.

When I was a kid, I love to watch Sesame Street where they also teach how to read and how to count. It was a good venue for kids to learn basic things as part of the things they need to know as a learning student. I remember there that they teach counting with fun by way of singing while counting numbers. Now this newer TV show by GMA, is also a newer way to teach children by way of art. They are taught how to do arts and might trigger artistic talent. Art Angel for me should be promoted and I am sure that many children will love to watch this show. Even me having this age enjoy the show as well. Thanks for reading. Comments please..

ABOUT THE SHOW

It began with very casual crime scene reports, which continues to be the usual focus. Various crimes were featured, including kidnapping, slavery, child abuse, and various drug-related crimes. They were equipped with hidden cameras for doing entrapment operations with the help of the Philippine National Police, the National Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Justice. (excerpts from wikipedia.com)
EXPANSION OF SOCIAL ISSUES

From crime reports, Imbestigador expanded into an all around investigative show. It now also features various societal problems such as corruption, problems in local governments, and illegal activities. It also has done special reports regarding poverty, honesty, cleanliness, education, wasted public funds, youths, and public health and safety. It also honored the late Pope John Paul II when Mike Enriquez did a special coverage regarding the late pope's funeral. He also acted as a quiz master regarding the report of education, which reported the education system is weakening. On their fifth anniversary special, the show acted as "Santa Claus" by giving computers to each police station in Metro Manila. It has also featured out of the country specials (in the United States, Japan, Italy, Singapore, France, and Germany). (excerpts from wikipedia.com)

Lalola

2009-02-05T17:08:00.003+08:00

Lalola is in its last week. In fact today is the second to the last episode and tomorrow will be the last one. I am getting excited on what will about to happen in the next episode. Although I have already figured out what will happen next, I am still waiting to see its next scenes.

The latter episodes of Lalola is quite predictable now. Here is my intuition on what will happen next. Miss S, the mother of Lola/Lalo, as seen in the "Abangan Bukas" went to the funeral of Don Aguirre but she found out that Don Aguirre is still alive. Lola became the hostage of Gaston after knowing that it was Gaston who is the mastermind of killing Don Aguirre. Miss S. told Don Aguirre that Lola is her son and eventually told her that Lola is Lalo, etc... you all know that. But in the next episode tonight and tomorrow, Lola will decide not to become Lalo and marry Facundo. She will also be accepted as by her grandfather Don Aguirre as his grandchild Lalo or Lola. Lola will inherit the riches of her grandfather Don Aguirre and will also become the owner of Distelleria Lobregat and also La Premera. Lola will become so rich will Facundo as her husband. She will live a happy life being Lola. Julia will become a good sister of Lola. Gaston will gnash his teeth in the prison cell. Gricelda will also be in prison. Mattias and Oreng will get married. Gary will become a loser when it comes to love. Who else I'm forgetting.?

Watch out tonight and tomorrow night for the grand finale of Lalola. Up coming is the original version of Lalola which I think is a Mexican origin. Thank you for reading. Comments please.

Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang

2009-02-02T21:35:00.002+08:00

Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang

Premiered today, this new teledrama directed by Joyce Bernal is quite an interesting drama. This is not only a drama but also action and suspense including underworld, crime and thriller. A good combination by its creator Carlo J Caparas and the director herself would lead this show at the top. I don't really understand what underworld really means but me while watching its few first minutes found it a little comedy though I am not that sure. This story is about a man named Homer, a psychologist with a boring life, and his patient Proserfina - a man-hater and a serial killer who murdered those she had had a relationship with. The two will eventually develop feelings for one another. But will Prosefina's new found love heal her hatred for men?

With a total of 80 episodes, this show I think will have a good rating since the hottest love team today, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera is making a quite good feed backs from their avid fans. The love story between the two will eventually end up in a real relationship since the two celebrities are showing good signs of mutual relationships based on what we see in the celebrity news on TV.

Make sure you watch your favorite Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang Premiered today February 2, 2009 right after Gagambino.

* Spelling

Generally, each category is written as "Grade number and subject". Though the show itself is mostly in Filipino, questions are generally in English, except Filipino, Civics, and Home Economics questions which are in Filipino, as these three subjects are all taught in Filipino in most schools in the Philippines. (See Education in the Philippines for further information.)

The Philippine version also uses a slightly similar money board (see table below) to the one used in the US version, except there is no P2,000 level, but instead a P75,000.
Question Values in this version

Another notable difference is when the answer to a question is about to be revealed, Janno does not say this orally to the contestant as his American counterpart Jeff Foxworthy does. Instead, the answer is shown on the "blackboard" facing the contestant and the current classmate. In case the contestant chooses to copy the classmate's response, the answer is revealed first before the classmate's response is shown.

Early teasers for the show present ten classmates, all Grade 5 students. They are "Chey," "Jun," "Shari," "Nikki," "Joshua," "Marianne," "AJ," "Elise," "Kim," and "Camille," with their real names shown in the credits. It can be presumed that half of them appear in one episode at a time, since there are only five desks in the classroom. This first batch has "graduated" and the a new batch has been introduced for the second season. They are "David", "Cyb", "Matt", "Bea", "Kaye", "Pauline", "Louis", "Ram", "Brian" and "Kassel".[1]

Furthermore, when the contestant decides to "drop out" (stop and take the money) or "flunks out" (answers incorrectly), the contestant must profess to the camera, "Hindi ako kakasa sa Grade 5." ("I am not tough enough for Grade 5.") The contestant is then given a trophy shaped like a squash, as if the "kalabasa award," a figurative prize of shame, is literally bestowed upon the contestant as consolation ("kalabasa" is a Filipino term for squash which is also used as a slang for "the not-so bright").

I Witness - Jan 19, 09

2009-01-20T01:12:00.004+08:00

My sister hates snakes, infact she is afraid of snakes. I am wondering if she has Ophidiophobia or most commonly called fear of snakes. While watching TV, my sister was sitting on the diet pad where is emits hot temperature and put on the body and so she cannot stop herself looking at the TV where the show is showing snakes which she dislikes very much. Now, my sister cannot help herself watching those eeewweeeee creatures.

Today's episode on I Witness was about the the Batanes's Pit Viper. An endangered species that can only be found in Batanes Philippines. This was hosted by Kara David, a jolly news journalist. She showed there that despite of the Republic Act passed last 2001 that prohibits anyone to catch animals whether endangered or not and to sell it at any amount. Most especially that the snakes they are talking about is endangered. It was tallyed by DENR that it reached for more than on thousand Vipers from Batanes where alreadt exported to other countries for medical purposes. Other buyers are for zoo purposes, etc. Prior to the RA ( Republic Act) when the bill has not been created, there were numerous hunters for vipers and they sell it that cost about 200- 1500 depending on the buyer. Until now, even when RA is implemented, underground transactions are done by few of the hunters and an inside job to the part of the exporter. Clever!

Im Back!

2009-01-13T01:46:00.003+08:00

In some circumstances, it is inevitable that our things and other stuffs or electronic gadgets wont work or even destroyed by no other than ourselves. Sometimes due to accident and sometime old age. In my case it just got busted and did not work. So now I am asking for apology that my blog has been no posts for several weeks since during the past few weeks - that was about Christmas season, my computer just turned off without me doing anything to it. It can be compared to a person who just fainted under the heat of the sun.

Last week, few days after new year, I sent my computer to a computer shop to have a check up and to repair it as well. It took several days because I have no budget.

Now I have my computer back with internet, I can posts again and provide some updates about the GMA show.

Whew I missed a lot!

Mel and Joey

2008-12-28T20:00:00.003+08:00

This evening I was watching the show Mel and Joey. Guests ( I cannot mention all because I do not know some of their names): Nadine Samonte, Geneva Cruz, . They were tackling about the year 2009 and possible things that are happening in the next year. As said, the year 2009 is the year of the ox. They are talking about predictions with regards to celebrities, news, politics and akin. Manny Pacqiuao is even mention in the show. Predictions 2009 Special is the title of the week.

Mel and Joey is a show that started last August 4, 2008 preceeded by Partners Mel Tiangco which was originally Mel and Jay. Please visit their Official Website: http://www.igma.tv/shows/mel-and-joey

Overview taken from their official website:
What do you get when comedy institution Joey de Leon teams up with a woman of substance, Mel Tiangco? Definitely a well-balanced tv show filled with heartwarming stories and zestful discussions that only Mel & Joey can deliver.

The new, impressive duo of Mel and Joey has created a special hour of valuable discussion providing the viewers different perspectives regarding their guests or topic every Sunday.
Mel has been known by the public for her credibility in providing accurate news as one of GMA-7’s top news anchors and once the host of the top-rating drama Magpakailanman. She is a woman of substance and compassion who helps those in need by involving herself in various projects of GMA Kapuso Foundation that delivers genuine service to many of the less privileged in our country.

On the other hand, Joey is a veteran comedian. He is one of the hosts of the longest-running noontime show in television, Eat Bulaga, and has been famous for his hilarious punch lines and humor in other comedy programs. But instead of his usual jests, Joey reveals his not-so-funny side and shares the wisdom he gained from his abounding experiences.

The combination of the personalities of Mel and Joey, who are both recipients of various awards and recognitions in their respective fields, create a distinctive hour of worthwhile discussion.
With successful careers, rich experiences in life and fascinating personalities of its hosts, not to mention its special topics every week, Mel & Joey, the show has become truly interesting to the public’s eye. It has drawn the attention of the viewers from the competition because the chemistry of Mel and Joey is indeed one of a kind in the current scenario of Philippine television.

The interest of the public in this new formidable couple of Sunday talk is reflected in the recent ratings margin over competition.

Lalola

2008-12-19T23:45:00.004+08:00

A Must See on Monday, December 22, 2008

I got excited tonight to see Lola returned to his original body and identity as Lalo. Unfortunately, he still has the feelings and emotions of Lola. But I think and I believe that he could make it to leave his feelings and move on to become Lalo again. I also excited to see what will happen to the entire show, to the Lobregat and to Lalo himself with Facundo and everything, everyone on the show.

Lalola is one of my favorite show that is being aired at this moment. It is because I found the story unique and interesting including the show being played by the actors done well.

Since only his friend Gary believes his transformation, Lalo has no choice but to pass himself off as someone else.

Lalo enters the company and introduces himself as Lola, his girlfriend. Although lovely and witty, Lola must battle against all odds to prove herself equal to boys and even endure the same kind of harassment and chauvinism Lalo used to inflict on girls.

As if being locked in a woman's body is not enough, Lalo/Lola will realize as days pass that she is becoming more and more effeminate and even finds himself/herself drawn to the irresistible charms of Facundo, the vice president for marketing and public relations of Distilleria Lobregat and the complete opposite of Lalo.

Pinoy Record

2008-12-19T12:09:00.003+08:00

Pinoy Records is one of the recent GMA Network infotainment show which had its premiere episode on December 8, 2007. It is hosted by basketball player, Chris Tiu, boxing champ, Manny Pacquiao and Sheena Halili as the Segment host.

It has been a year only that this show recieved an award: Nominated, Best Reality Competition Program & Hosts (Manny Pacquiao & Chris Tiu)- 22nd PMPC Star Awards for TV 2008. That is fascinating though I do not watch the show more often. In fact I can only count with my two hands the times I have seen the show.

Though I have not seen much of it, I would just say that Pinoy Records is a good place for other sports minded to see other Filipinos excel in different fields of sports. They show a good opportunity to let us make proud of our very own Filipino athlete. Go! and make us proud of you!

I don't really watch Daisy Siete much often. In fact I have seen this very few times only. I don't watch it because it isn't relevant to my interest and imagination.

Luna Mystica

One of my most watch telefantasya in GMA is Luna Mystica. Ops, don't even think about it! I like watching it because of my curiosity of what would happen to the twin, Luna and Celestina.

But Diana apparently attracts more suitors than Alice causing the latter to harbour enmity for the favored one.

Surprisingly, regardless of her countless suitors, Diana gives her heart to Simon, a beastly-looking young man with a distorted face feared to have descended from the Engkantos. Soon the news spread about their relationship and Diana's parents try to end their romance. However, it's too late since Diana is already with a child.

During her pregnancy, Diana thinks she will have twins since her tummy is so big. But upon her delivery, only one baby comes out, much to her bewilderment. Unknown to them, aside from the human baby Luna, Diana also gives birth to a baby in the form of a shadow, which turns out to be Celestina.

2008-12-18T01:41:00.004+08:00

When GMA Network bought the rights to Carlo J. Caparas' graphic novel on February 2007, Richard Gutierrez was attached to star. The series was shelved until 2008, but Gutierrez opted to work on his dream project: Codename: Asero. The network decided that they could not longer delay the series and gave the role to Dennis Trillo, over another heavy contender: JC de Vera, who later joined the cast in LaLola.

Director Topel Lee required Trillo to learn three martial arts in preparation for the role: wing chun, judo and kendo - a Japanese martial art of sword-fighting. He also underwent a rigorous training for parkour.

"Gagambino" is the superhero story of a young man named Bino and his adventures with his giant spider as they fight evil forces in a darker, crime-infested re-imagination of Manila.

24 Oras

2008-12-18T00:15:00.005+08:00

24 Oras is the news program that I mostly watch. It is because I am comfortable with this and I find the news reliable and worth listening. The reports presented are always fresh (well everyone or every newscast deliver fresh news update), I mean most of the time they are the one who cover the reports sooner and much faster. I like to watch their most recent updates regarding current events and almost all news related topics.

24 Oras (24 Hours) is a nightly national newscast which airs on the GMA Network in the Philippines. Launched in 2004, it is one of the most watched news programs in the country. The program airs at 6:30 PM PST on Weekdays, and is also simulcast on GMA Pinoy TV. On December 1, 2005, the coverage by 24 Oras of a siege of Camp Bagong Diwa was mentioned in the best news program category in the Asian Television Awards in Singapore.

24 Oras is a news program created by GMA Network and developed by GMA News and Public Affairs; starred by Mike Enriquez, Mel Tiangco, Pia Guanio with several contributors. The program is produced by Marissa Flores and Jessica Soho premiered March 15, 2004 and still kicking until today.. :D

The show relaunched in May 2006 with a new graphics package, and a new set with floating large rear projection screens that allow the anchors to virtually "talk" to correspondents in live feeds. Pia Guanio hosts the showbiz news segment of the program, "Chika Minute". PAGASA's Nathaniel Cruz anchors weather news during severe weather conditions. Joel Reyes Zobel is the voice over talent.

On August 11, 2008, the show was relaunched again with a new set, a new desk which is similar to the desk used by WNBC's News 4 New York, and new graphics and titles.

Eat Bulaga

2008-12-16T14:47:00.008+08:00

Eat Bulaga is my favorite noon time show. It has been with us many years already. When I was young, I already watch the show and enjoy. It is a surprise that Eat Bulaga is still running as the best noon time ever, in fact it is the longest running show in the world (perhaps).

Here are some information about Eat Bulaga coming from different sources

Eat Bulaga! is a local noon-time variety show in the Philippines produced by the Television And Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE) of Malou Fagar and Tony Tuviera. The program is the longest-running variety show on Philippine television. It also holds the Philippine record of all-time number of live TV episodes. (Bulaga means "surprise" in Tagalog, although it should not be taken as the literal translation of the word surprise; its closest English equivalent is Peek-a-boo!. Eat is the transliteration of It!, the Tagalog game-slang for "lost (in the game)" and Eat was chosen because the show plays at lunch time) The show is aired on GMA Network at 12pm on Weekdays and on Saturdays. The show is broadcast from TAPE Studios at the Broadway Centrum in Quezon City.

Its history

Eat Bulaga premiered on July 30, 1979 on Radio Philippines Network at Broadcast City, Diliman, Quezon City.

RPN outsourced the idea to TAPE. At that time, comic troika Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon were the most popular movie comedians. They were hired together with Chiqui Hollman and Richie Reyes (a.k.a. Richie d' Horsie) as co-hosts.

The TV program innovated numerous concepts on Philippine television which were later copied by rival TV programs.

In 1989 due to the sequestration of RPN, the show moved to ABS-CBN along with other TAPE-produced shows Agila, Coney Reyes on Camera and Okay Ka Fairy Ko (from IBC) and helped strengthen the network's programming. The premiere telecast of Eat Bulaga at their new home was on February 18, 1989 and for this momentous event, the show was staged at the Araneta Coliseum.

JC - Ultimate Survivor Season 1

2008-12-12T23:14:00.004+08:00

Live in GMA 7 awhile ago during Survivor Philippines (time slot) is the last and final tribal council held at GMA studio and it was a remarkable event to all the survivor castaways including the fans and supporters of the show. It was announced in the later part of the show the winner of 3 million pesos to the basket hearthrob, John Carlo "JC" Tiuseco. Even before the tribal councils, I or even we, could somehow guess who would could be the winner between him and Rob.

I also see that Rob is not as worthy as JC, besides of the fact that JC is much more physically fit to hold the title, JC has also the proper characteristics to be the one ultimate survivor.

From me, congratulations JC for winning the challenge. You are worthy to be the winner!

Marky Cielo - Deceased

2008-12-09T00:01:00.003+08:00

Mark Angelo Cadaweng Cielo (May 12, 1988 - December 7, 2008), better known as Marky Cielo was a Filipino actor and dancer.

Pre-showbiz and Personal life

Cielo grew up in Butuan City, then moved to Mountain Province in 2001. He spoke the Kankanaey, Ilocano, Tagalog and Bisaya languages (precisely Butuanon and Cebuano) fluently. According to his real life story in Magpakailanman, Marky's parents were separated when he and his sister were still young, and then their mother took care of them on her own. He only met his father again after many years.

College life

He is a freshman student in Saint Louis University, Baguio City taking up Architecture before joining Starstruck. He is a member of SLU Dance Troupe. His closed friends are Johnny Mina, Moses Esteban and Frederick Manzano. His father revealed that Marky has plans to go back to school next year but sad to say that he already passed away.

Joining StarStruck

When his classmates and closed friends especially Johnny Mina, Moses Esteban (good bestfriend) and Frederick Manzano convinced Cielo to join StarStruck, he accepted. He won the Ultimate Male Survivor title, and the first Sole Survivor title of Batch 3. He was the first Igorot ever to join that contest. Among Marky's prizes was a house and lot in Antipolo. He and his family lived in his new home.

Showbiz career

After winning StarStruck, Cielo had entered in show business. His first show was Fantastikids which stars Isabella de Leon and B.J. "Tolits" Forbes and then Encantadia: Pag-ibig Hanggang Wakas. His two primetime shows in which his two characters were killed off were Bakekang and Asian Treasures. The said network chose Cielo to be a protagonist in the Philippine remake of Uchuu Keiji Shaider as Alexis del Mundo or Shaider but Dennis Trillo and StarStruck Ultimate Hunk Aljur Abrenica were added so the title Shaider was changed to Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan, a spin-off sequel to Metal Heroes in which he portrays Alexis Lorenzo or Zaido Green. He considered his show Zaido as his biggest break. He recently joined the casts of Sine Novela: Kaputol ng Isang Awit which stars Glaiza de Castro, Lovi Poe and Jolo Revilla. He was seen on the commercial of a no-smoking campaign with Department of Health secretary Francisco Duque III. He joined Codename: Asero then LaLola. He was last seen in LaLola, in which he portrayed the character "Billy". [2]

Cielo was found dead on December 7, 2008 by his mother, who went to his room in their house in Antipolo City around 6 in the morning to wake him up for a charity event. He was 20 years of age. An initial report says that he died in his sleep.

According to a statement from the TV network, Cielo’s mother, Mildred, went into her son’s room in their house in Antipolo City to wake him up at around 6 a.m.

When Cielo did not respond, Mildred rushed him to the nearby Antipolo Doctor’s Hospital where the actor was declared dead on arrival around 10 in the morning, the statement added.

At present time, the cause of Cielo’s death remains unknown as his family is still waiting for his medical records to be released.

About this blog

This blog is about the shows in GMA7. This blog is not an official GMA 7 and this is not created by GMA staff. I am simple person, certified Kapuso and I watch GMA 7 a couple of hours a day. Sometimes when I watch TV, comments regarding the show is inevitable and more often I find it hard to tell or express those comments or suggestions or any other with regards to that so I have created this blog for that purposes.

I am a GMA Network avid watcher, a certified Kapuso, though I also watch a few times on other TV networks like 'the family', 'keberks' and other non cable-only channels, I spend much more time watching GMA 7.

SCOPE:

Since I am a Kapuso and I do watch TV several hours a day. I will talk about my comments, reactions and any sharings regarding what I see in TV. It may be a possitive response to the show or negative ( I do criticize sometimes especially when I see something I don't agree or against my beliefs or any thing related to that). I am also going to talk about my likes and dislikes (if any) and to share my insights. The scope is too vivid... :)

LIMITATION:

I am a human person, I do sleep, eat, go out somewhere, rest once in a while, work, wash the dishes, do the laundry, feed the pig, and the dog, sometimes the cat (if around since the cat we have is a stray cat, which means she has no master or owner or what ever you call it), I go to the bathroom to take a bath, change my clothes, go to school, go to work, et cetera, Peter Cetera! What do I mean, I mean that I cannot be online 24 hours a day, or watch tv 24 hours a day. I am not a machine neither I am not many, and this blog is managed by one person only and that is me alone. With that respect, I cannot provide emmidiate post or I could most probably miss anything or many things. So pardon me for that. I also update this blog too slow!

In the first weekof this blog, I have concentrated on the layout, that is to say, the template of this blog so that it would look nice and readable. I hope it looks nicer in others eyes other than mine. In the next preceeding weeks or on its first month, I have concentrated on the content, the shows and the tv programs and also provided links to simplify its readability so that viewers of this blog will have an easy navigation to its content.

I will still add more information about this blog later...

visit this blog more often if you are also Kapuso.
