FiLay (Fidel and Klay) loveteam of David Licauco and Barbie Forteza scores first endorsement deal; brand owner is admittedly a "kinikilig" fan

Image
Isa sa mga indicators na malakas talaga ang isang teleserye ay kapag ang mga artista o loveteam nito ay nilalapitan na ng mga brands for endorsement. And such is the case for the FiLay (Fidel and Klay) loveteam na di sinasadyang nabuo sa hit history portal teleseryeng Maria Clara at Ibarra ( MCAI ) ng GMA. Maski ang mga involved ditong sina Barbie Forteza at David Licauco ay hindi rin makapaniwalang kikiligin ang publiko ang mga cariño-brutal moments nila sa serye at mga viewers na mismo ang nagbansag sa kanila bilang #FiLay. Hindi lang naman kasi kilig ang ino-offer nila. May kasama ring respeto sa acting craft at nakikita iyon ng viewers lalo na kay Barbie na napakahusay mag-timpla ng character niya. Nandoon pa rin ang bubbly’ng Barbie na minahal ng publiko but at the same time, hindi p’wedeng balewalain ang lalim ng kanyang pag-arte. At maging si David at napapansinan na rin ng galing. Hindi raw kasi p’wedeng hindi sumabay sa mga multi-awarded niyang ka-eksena—si Dennis Tri

Sa kanyang Instagram post kahapon, January 25, humiling ng dasal ang soon-to-be first-time mommy ngayong pumapasok siya sa panibagong chapter ng kanyang buhay, ang motherhood. Nagpaalam na rin si Iza na pansamantala s’yang mawawala sa social media para yakapin nang buong-buo ang bago n’yang role bilang isang ina.  “We humbly ask for love and prayers as we enter this new chapter of our lives.

Former Senator Mar Roxas, deadma sa social media life ng asawang si Korina Sanchez

Image
Ang kilalang newscaster na si Korina Sanchez ang isa sa mga brand ambassadors ng BeautĂ©derm na dumating sa ginanap na formal opening at ribbon-cutting ng BeautĂ©derm Corporate Headquarters sa Angeles City noong January 21. Si Korina ang isa sa itinuturing na idolo ng CEO at President ng BeautĂ©derm Corporation na si Rhea Anicoche-Tan. In fact, kaya nga raw Mass Comm ang kinuha niya ay dahil pangarap sana niyang sundan ang yapak nito as a broadcast journalist. Hindi pa naman niya alam noon na nakatadhana pala siyang makalikha ng isang beauty empire. Kaya naman magpa-hanggang ngayon ay hindi makapaniwala ang huli na ang idolo niya ay endorser na niya ngayon. At kung idolo ni Rhea si Korina as broadcaster, idolo rin naman daw ni Korina si Rhea pag dating sa sales and marketing. In fact, hindi niya ito tinatawag sa palayaw nitong Rei, kungdi “King.” “I really know na ang ibig sabihin ng King ay Rei,” pagba-back story ni Korina. “So, sabi ko, parang magandang itawag sa kanya ang King

Sana napatawad mo na ako.” Walang nakapigil kay Alden Richards na aminin na muntik na niyang maging girlfriend noon si Julie Anne San Jose . Sa naging interview ng Asia’s Multimedia Star sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda nitong Miyerkules (January 25), sinagot ni Alden ang tanong ni Kuya Boy kung sino sa mga artistang na-link sa kanya ang muntik na niyang maging girlfriend. Sagot ni Alden ay sina Winwyn Marquez at Julie Anne San Jose. Sa follow-up ni Kuya Boy, tinanong nito si Alden kung bakit hindi natuloy ang kanilang relasyon ni Julie? Kinuwento naman ni Alden kasalanan daw niya kung bakit naudlot ang dapat na magiging relasyon nila ng Asia’s Limitless Star.  “It was my fault po Tito Boy. I decided to focus na lang talaga sa work,” madamdaming pag-amin ng aktor. Taong 2013 noon

Isyung pamimigay umano ng tickets sa concert ni Toni Gonzaga, pinag-uusapan pa rin

PHOTOS: @tonigonzagastudio on Facebook & @chin.tgs on Instagram Despite the success of Toni Gonzaga’s 20th anniversary concert last January 20, naglipana pa rin ang isyu na pinamigay umano ang tickets nito para puntahan ng mga manonood. Matagumpay na naidaos ng TV host-actress and singer na si Toni Gonzaga ang kanyang concert na ginanap sa Araneta Coliseum sa Quezon City nitong Friday, January 20. Ganu’n pa man, matapos maganap ang I AM… TONI birthday and 20th anniversary in showbiz concert ni Toni ay naglipana ang isyu na pinamigay umano ang tickets nito para puntahan ng mga manonood. Ilang araw kasi bago ang concert ng aktres ay lumabas ang balitang mahina umano ang bentahan ng tickets kaya naman nag-expect ang mga bashers ni Toni at maging bashers ng kapatid n’yang si Alex Gonzaga, na lalangawin ang concert nito. Pero kabaliktaran ang nangyari. Base nga sa video na ipinost ng rapper-comedian na si Andrew E., na guest ni Toni sa concert, makikitang marami pa ring nagpu

The Butcher | Here's to a hoppin' Year of the Rabbit!

Image
In the Gregorian calendar, 2023 rolled in just three weeks ago. And yesterday, we ushered in the Chinese New Year. It’s therefore not too late for me to make wishes for this year – the year of the Rabbit. So hop in as I enumerate my wishes for the entertainment sector this 2023. * For television to pick up this year. It is a dying industry, but it needs to stay alive because so many in this country still rely on free TV for their entertainment. Of course, there is Netflix, Viu, and even Vivamax. Unfortunately, the poor still can’t afford these streaming services.      There’s also the sector of the elderly who have already gotten so used to traditional TV. It may be too late for them to make changes at this point of their lives.    * For ABS-CBN to get its franchise back. Philippine television needs ABS-CBN for the industry to rev up. Let’s admit it, ABS-CBN had always been known for its trailblazing efforts. Local TV will never be the same without ABS-CBN and its innovations * Fo
