Zaijan Jaranilla & Justin John Mata

Seven-year-old Zaijan Jaranilla says during a “May Bukas Pa” shoot, “Tulog na tayo. Antay na lang natin ang cutoff time tapos uwian na tayo.” It was 1:30am.

Being a minor, is Zaijan Jaranilla working beyond 10pm? This can’t be as ABS-CBN strictly observes the 10pm cutoff for minor talents. Can he be overworked then? Read more…

Zaijan is the next Niño Muhlach according to some Filipino. A seven year old boy who can act like other great actors. Hope that the staff of May Bukas Pa will not let Zaijan to sleep late during the shooting of Santino.

Michael Flores vouches for Richard Gutierrez

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Michael flores

THE co-stars of Richard Gutierrez in “Zorro” and its crew members all speak highly of him. They say he’s “mabait, marunong makisama, mapagkumbaba and never throws his weight around the set even if he’s the show’s title roler.” This is the reason why they don’t believe that Richard pointed a gun at Michael Flores during the birthday party of Direk Mark Reyes.

“Nagkatrabaho na kami ni Richard noon sa ‘Kamandag’ and he’s so easy to work with,” says Michael. “Wala talagang anumang away that happened between us.”

“Even when I was a total newcomer paired to him for the first time in ‘Captain Barbell’, talagang mabait na si Richard, very accommodating and supportive,” says his leading lady Rhian Ramos. “Kaya nga good karma siya kasi lahat ng naging shows niya sa GMA, all topraters, just like ‘Zorro’ na kahit siya sinisiraan, mataas pa rin ang ratings.” Read more..

It’s about time Mr. Flores cleared the issue about him and Mr. Richard Gutierrez, and shows some appreciation towards the actor.

Katrina has a new friend?

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

katrinaThe buzz is Katrina Halili has caused the break up of JC Tiuseco and his older lawyer girlfriend. JC seems to don’t find the time to be with her ex-gf. He was with Katrina in Boracay last Holy Week shacking in Carmela De Boracay hotel. When former f___ing friend Kris Lawrence looked for her, she was with JC in her room. She claims they were with girl friends. But JC has dismissed these buzzes.

If this true, Katrina’s getting the image of a man snatcher. If she stole Hayden Kho from Dra. Vicki Belo, she did it again with JC from his girlfriend. Katrina must learn notoriety puts her in tab heads but it takes away income earners. Even if she has a good manager, it doesn’t replace a highly marketable talent. Many products don’t want to be associated with negatively perceived endorsers. It doesn’t even make people watch movies and television shows except perhaps no-income talk shows.

Katrina was last seen in Dear friend’s series.

Carlo J. Caparas: An endless parade of TV hits

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

carlo1It was Carlo J. Caparas, the Komiks King no less, who kicked off the current trend of movies-adapted-for TV.

The endless parade of Caparas TV hits goes on — with more coming!

The good thing about Carlo (who has been awarded for enhancing the National Language) is that he — and his wife Donna Villa — have kept themselves above the never-ending network war. Thus, Carlo happily crosses boarders while maintaining his “neutral” stance and identifying himself neither a Kapamilya nor a Kapuso. As they would say, trabaho lang, walang personalan.

Carlo J Caparas is indeed a good komiks writer.

Faye Danica Abadicio, grand prize winner of AKO, Ayoko sa Bawal na Droga song and jingle competition

MANILA, Philippines – From time immemorial, talent and skill have always been tested through competition. In Perlas ng Silangan, FPJ and Vic Vargas competed for the hand of Susan Roces through skilled combat and a race to retrieve a black pearl thrown into the waters. When Vic surfaced holding the pearl, he was told that he had lost since there was never any pearl in this test of pureness of the heart. Many such competitions can be found in kung-fu films that celebrate the martial art tradition.

In the field of beauty and pulchritude, nothing can beat the popularity of beauty pageants held from the barangay to the international level. In music, Tawag ng Tahanan clearly antedates the popularity of American Idol, and all those competitions held by the networks.  Read more…

I Survived host Ces Drilon interviews survivors to recount the actual events

I Survived host Ces Drilon interviews survivors to recount the actual events

The two major television networks have a docu-drama each. In 2008, GMA 7 launched Case Unclosed with Kara David (who has since moved to hosting OFW Diaries late Friday nights). Arnold Clavio now anchors the show and I reviewed last Tuesday the program’s episode on the pagoda tragedy in Bocaue, Bulacan. It had comprehensive interviews and an impressive reenactment of what happened when tragedy struck and claimed several lives.

For a couple of weeks now (actually every Thursday), ABS-CBN has been airing I Survived with Ces Drilon. I failed to catch its pilot telecast, but I read somewhere that it was about a mining tragedy.  Read more…
