MEDICAL MISSION AT TOY DISTRIBUTION NA PINANGUNAHAN NINA GOV. VILMA SANTOS-RECTO AT KRIS AQUINO SA BATANGAS, DINAGSA!

Di pa man sumisikat ang araw, tila hindi na mahulugang karayom ang dami ng tao na nagtungo sa Brgy. Anak Dagat, Lemery, Batangas kanina para sa Medical Mission at Toy Distribution na pinangunahan nina Gov. Vilma Santos- Recto at sa pakikipagtulungan ng Queen of all Media, Ms. Kris Aquino.

Mapalad ang mga residente ng nasabing bayan dahil sa maagang regalo nina Gov. at Krissy. Nagkaroon ng libreng bunot ng ngipin, libreng turok kontra cervical cancer, check-up at ang pamamahagi ng 1000 mga laruan para sa mga bata.

Walang pagsidlan ng kaligayahan ang mga Lemereño gaya ni May Anne Diezmos, "Lubos kaming nagpapasalamat kina Gov. Vi, Vice Gov. Mark Leviste at lalo't higit kay Ms. Kris Aquino, napakalaking tulong ng Medical Mission na ito."

"Kung may isang tao na gusto kong sundan ang yapak, si Gov. Vilma Santos- Recto 'yun!," ani Kris (Aquino).

Inimbitahan naman ni Kris (Aquino) ang mga Lemereño na tangkilikin ang mga programa n'ya sa Kapamilya Network tulad ng The Price is Right at Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 na magsisimula na ngayong February 26.

Melai Cantiveros says she is not competing with Pokwang

by: Manila Santos

As ABS-CBN gears up for the February 12 launch of its newest noontime variety show Happy, Yipee, Yehey!, Melai Cantiveros clarified rumors that she was chosen over fellow Banana Split cast member Pokwang. “Overnaman, hindi naman siguro ganun ang nangyari kasiover kami ka-close i Ate Pokie kaya hindi naman siguro ganun. Bagong show naman ito so iba rin yung mga hosts na pinili,” she said.

Melai also dispelled the issue that she is now being favored over her ‘Ate’ Pokie. “Hindi, walang ganun.Maraming show si Ate Pokie sa abroad so marami din naman siyang ginagawa. Kasi si Ate Pokie, ‘pag magkasama kami sa Banana Split, over kami sa happy dun kaya feeling ko naman walang ganun,” she shared.

Melai said that Pokwang has been nothing but supportive and encouraging of her career. “Marami naman siyang advice sa akin pag magkasama kami sa Banana Split. Nung magkasama kami sa show sa London,sinabihan niya ako na dapat walang dead air ‘pag nagsasalita, mga ganun. Tapos sabi niya i-love ko yung trabaho ko para hindi ako magkaproblema, mga ganun,” she said.

Melai also doesn’t see the point in why people continue to want to compare her with Pokwang. “Hindi naman kasi kailangan magka-issue. Kasi alangan naman tatanggi ako sa project dahil sa ganun? Ano gagawin ko pag sinabihan akong magtrabaho dito or mag-host dito? Hindi ako natatakot kasi si Ate Pokie, sobrangfriendly, para nga siyang aking mama dito sa showbiz kaya kami, magkasama kami sa Banana Split,” she revealed.

On the rumor that Ai-Ai De las Alas was first considered for her hosting slot, Melai said that she isn’t bothered by the fact that she was the second choice. “Hindi ko alam kung second choice nga ako. Okay na lang rin, at least hindi third choice (laughs). Okay na rin para makaipon rin ng pera para sa mga tao sa Gensan kaya okay lang din,” she said good-naturedly

'Mara Clara' bags 34.6% rating

Young stars Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes expressed happiness that their series "Mara Clara" drew impressive high TV ratings and rave reviews from viewers from the time it started and up to now that they are opening book 2 of the series.

"Nagpapasalamat po kami dahil sa suporta ng mga tao, sa walang sawang panonood nila sa 'Mara Clara'," Montes said in an interview during a press conference for "Mara Clara"'s book 2.

Montes and Bernardo's first TV project together continues to boom in ratings. Kantar Media's national ratings results showed that for the month of January, "Mara Clara" had a 29.9% average rating, maintaining its top spot among the most watched shows in the country.

On Monday, January 31, the show earned its highest national rating to date, 34.6%, against its rival program, which had a rating of 17.3%.

That Monday's episode was the revelation night when viewers found out that the real del Valle is Mara (Bernardo) and not Clara (Montes).

Bernardo asked viewers to continue to watch their show especially now that they will be switching roles.

"Dapat abangan ang magiging buhay namin ni Clara at conflict sa family," Bernardo said.

Another episode widely anticipated is that of the grand celebration for the 16th birthday of the real del Valle (Bernardo).

Mara will be given a big party for her 16th birthday where she will shine as she dances with more than 16 guys.

"Makakasama ko po dito ang mahigit sa 16 na Kapamilya stars. Kung sino sila, 'yun ang dapat abangan ng mga taga-subaybay," Bernardo said.

Sam wants a duet with Taylor Swift

 Singer-host Sam Concepcion is now setting his sights on singing a duet with international artist Taylor Swift.

Concepcion shared his wish after Swift personally chose him to be the front act for her much-awaited “Taylor Swift Live in Manila” concert on February 19 at the Araneta Coliseum.

"Yeah of course, 'yong mag-front act lang sa Maynila, iba na 'yon. To be invited for the entire thing (sobra na 'yon). To do a duet would be out of this world," Concepcion told abs-cbnNEWS.com during a meet and greet with Jollibee Yumbassadors on Friday (Feb. 4).

The singer said he is really excited to do the front act for Swift's concert in Manila and also expressed appreciation that Swift asked him to join her for the rest of her Asian tour.

"Just really excited that I will be able to do the front act for the Manila concert. On top of that, they want me to do the entire tour na din. I was so shocked," he said.

Concepcion said that as much as he wanted to join Swift in her Asian tour, it would not be easy because of his prior commitments.

"I really hope it works out kasi I just found out like 2, 3 days ago. And well of course I have previous engagement na baka may matamaan na I have to do here in the Philippines. I hope na it works out and maybe I can do a couple of those shows in other countries, hopefully," the young crooner said.

Concepcion admitted that the chance to be with Swift in her Asian tour is a big break for him to penetrate Asian countries or even the US. 

"Things happen at the right time. So one day at a time. And just be ready with what will come my way," he said.

Concepcion added that even without the front act, he is one of Swift's fans.

"I'm a fan ever since. I'm such a huge fan," he ended, adding that his favorite Swift song is "Teardrops On My Guitar."

Currently, aside from being an active Jollibee Yumbassador, Concepcion is part of ABS-CBN's "Shout Out."

He is also shooting a show called "Good Vibes."

Albie Casiño admits he had a relationship with Andi Eigenmann

Fri Feb 04 2011 07:53 AM
by: Napoleon Quintos

Albie Casiño was a relative unknown when he was chosen to play leading man in the top-rating primetimeteleserye Mara Clara, which is about to unveil its second season. During the press conference for the upcoming new season of the said drama, Albie told reporters how he started in showbiz. “I was picking up my brother from a photo shoot. My manager now, he approached me and asked if I wanted to do commercials. I posed for a print ad for a soda brand. He made me come to do VTRs here in ABS-CBN, and also go-sees. Then I became part of Gimik 2010, and now I’m in Mara Clara.”

But the hot revelation that was brought up following the press con was Albie’s past relationship with Andi Eigenmann. The 17 year-old newbie actor tried to evade the topic about his erstwhile romance with the Agua Bendita actress. “Inamin niya na ba?” said Albie. However, he decided to man up to the issue and admit the truth. “Oo naging kami. Matagal na. Hindi pa ako artista noon. Hindi pa rin siya artista noon. We were together for a year.”

When asked why their relationship ended, Albie appeared to be careful with his answer. “She broke up with me. But it’s nothing. Mutual, ‘yun na lang.” He clarified though that he and Andi have remained friends despite the split and they still keep in touch with each other. “We still talk. Minsan nagkikita. I knew her since I was eight years old. Hindi naman porke nag-break kami, magiging magkagalit na kami. She’s close to my mom.”

According to some sources, there was a time backstage at ASAP when Andi was seen closely following Albie up to the dressing room. Though not sure if such an incident really happened, Albie defended that he sees nothing wrong if he and Andi would talk. “We’re friends. And wala naman ako masyadong friends sa ASAP. Sashowbiz konti lang friends ko. Sa Mara Clara silang tatlo (Kathryn Bernardo, Julia Montes, and John Manalo)magkakilala na since Goin Bulilit. Ako six months ko pa lang sila kilala and mas matanda pa ako sa kanila.”

Even if they are friends until now, Albie said he thinks it would be best if he and Andi will not work together. “Alam niyo naman ang trabaho namin, puyatan ‘yan. Aaminin ko, kapag puyat ako, may tendency na uminit ‘yung ulo ko. Of course hindi ko naman basta basta inilalabas ‘yun sa ibang tao, lalo na kapag hindi ko naman kilala. Ang totoo kasi medyo outcast ako ngayon sa set. Naglalabas lang ako ng galit sa ka-close ko. Siyempre si Andi close kami. If ever magkatrabaho kami, tapos naging mainit ang ulo namin pareho. Baka magkasalubong. Sayang naman na dahil lang sa work masisira ‘yung friendship namin.”

Piero Vergara is excited to get into drama in Mutya

Fri Feb 04 2011 07:41 AM
by: Rhea Manila P. Santos

Aside from being a regular on Shoutout Level Up, Piero Vergara is also busy taping for his first primetime project on ABS-CBN: the fantaserye Mutyawhich premiered on January 31. Piero first started in showbiz in 2009 when he joined a teen talent search in another network. The 17 year-old admitted the transition process was not easy but he’s settled in quite well in the Kapamilya network. “I’m now under Star Magic. I really started sa showbiz in GMA. It’s been alright. For a while, things were pretty rough on both ends pero I got to smoothen it out so we’re actually alright na. I met with a few of the people I used to work with at GMA tapos no hard feelings naman. This was a good opportunity and I grabbed it,” he shared with Push.com.ph.

Playing the role of a spoiled brat named Dennis in Mutya, Piero said that his character is far from his real life persona. But he welcomed the challenge of playing a character that is totally new to him. This Cebuano cutie also wanted to dispel rumors that he is also arrogant in real life. “I really like this role I play in Mutya. I don’t know if people have different opinions because personally I see myself to be a pretty modest person. Pero in this show I’m saksakan ng yabang na tao so it’s a real challenge for me. I enjoy doing it,” he said.

Piero said that he wants to follow in the footsteps of his Hollywood idols Brad Pitt and Matt Damon when it comes to versatility in tackling roles. “When I see the kind of roles that they do, it’s not always the good guy. Sometimes they do cocky roles. I can’t help but think na idol ko yang mga yan so I really hope to achieve that kind of image. So I can consider this role in Mutya as also a kind of dream role,” he said.

Piero is also grateful to be able to work with experienced actresses like Sandy Andolong and Precious Lara Quigaman. “Actually everybody has been really helpful and it’s been a very great learning experience for me kasi this is my first time acting so I’m pretty clueless when I’m on set. I don’t know how to fix my face or do the reactions. When somebody’s talking I don’t even know what to do. I’m just fidgeting,” he admitted.

Piero also had nothing but praises for the star of Mutya, ABS-CBN’s newest child star  Mutya Orquija. “She’s so charming and so cute. Sobrang cute niya talaga. I think she’s a humble girl and she learns pretty quickly. She’s got loads of talent. She can deliver lines well. There’s a lot to say about Mutya. She’s so cute. Gusto ko siya i-adopt. So adorable,” he said.
