Celebrity Hot Shots in the Philippines

In celebration of MYX’s 10th year anniversary of music, the most anticipated and biggest “MYX Mo” concert of the year is on fire.  As a treat for avid MYX viewers like me, limited edition “I ♥ MYX” shirts are already available exclusively at Boys Teens Wear Section of SM Department stores. If the consumer buys the “I ♥ MYX” white shirt for PhP 399.75, it entitles him/her to get a gold section ticket. If he/she buys the ”I ♥ MYX” red shirt for PhP 299.75, he/she receive a silver section ticket. For bronze ticket, the MYX Mag’s ”I ♥ MYX” Special Collector’s issue is also available exclusively at nearest 7-Eleven stores around Metro Manila.

Let’s take back memories of MYX. From the VJs to its shows. Heart Evangelista, Ala Paredes, Luis Manzano, and Franco Mabanta were the first batch of MYX VJs. Back then, VJ Heart was one of my favorite MYX VJs. She hosted My MYX before and she read my request that I sent few years ago. I requested Carol Banawa’s music video “Stay” because it’s one of my favorite songs. I was jumping for joy when she read it exactly on Mother’s Day. Maybe it was a special gift for my mom. It’s really unexpected.

Few years had passed, a lot were called but only few are chosen in annual MYX VJ search. Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition ex-housemate Robi Domingo, commercial model Sanya Smith, Champ Lui Pio’s brother Chino Lui Pio and Martin Nievera’s son Robin Nievera were few of the MYX VJ Search winners. My favorite MYX VJs as of now are VJs Bianca Roque, Nikki Gil, Iya Villania, and Luis Manzano. My favorite former MYX VJs, on the other hand, were Heart Evangelista, Karel Marquez, Igi Guerrero, Nel Gomez, Andrei Felix and Mica Froilan.

My favorite MYX shows are Mellow MYX, My MYX, Pop MYX, MYX News, and Asia MYX. Mellow MYX plays sweet and romantic music videos that I definitely love. It is hosted by VJ Nikki Gil. My MYX reads requests and plays requested music videos from their viewers thru e-mail, text, and snail mail. Pop MYX plays international pop music from USA to Korea. MYX News updates the latest entertainment news regarding music, movies, and artists. Asia MYX plays Asian music from Korea, Japan, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan.

But still, I’m hoping that they will play music videos from Taiwanese boyband Fahrenheit. A lot of Filipino Fahrenheit fans are already requesting, but unfortunately MYX didn’t play Fahrenheit music videos. If I’m going to be a MYX VJ, I will ask its channel head to host a new show. It will be titled either Pop MYX: MandoPop Edition or MYX  Aiyo! Pop MYX: MandoPop Edition will play music videos from different Mandarin artists. On the other hand, MYX Aiyo will play music videos from Taiwan. And I will gonna play not only Chinese pop but also Fahrenheit music videos.

I wish MYX more power, more success, more awesome music videos to play and another decade to come.

The MYX Mo 2010 concert will be on 18 November, Thursday at SM Mall of Asia Open Concert Grounds, Pasay City. The pre-show is at around 5pm to be followed by its show proper at  7pm. The bands and artists that will be performing are Kyla, Sandwich, Callalily, Gloc 9, Sponge Cola, Parokya ni Edgar, and so much more. Don’t forget to wear ”I ♥ MYX” shirts!
