Kim walked out in a fight scene with Maja?

Did Kim Chiu really walked out after her fight scene with Maja Salvador in “Ina, Kapatid, Anak?” Kim denied the issue in an interview saying she left the set after the scene was done. The said cat fight left both of the actresses bruised. She denied also that its purely professional, just doing what’s on the script and nothing personal about it.

I saw this particular scene and I guess personal rift between actresses will be noticeable if the outcome was overacting. But having seen that part, I guess both of them are just really great and effective in making the scene believable without even considering whatever negative issue they are in to right now. Maybe that's the very reason why the said Friday episode featuring the 18th birthday of Celyn and Margaux earned 40.1% national TV ratings, based on data from Kanter Media.

"Minute to Win It" Philippines

If you were able to watch the US “Minute to Win It” game show, I’m sure Filipinos will be excited to be part of the Philippine version of it. Me and my 2 kids enjoy watching the different challenges of the game show and even eager to try it at home. The first few challenges might seem easy as it gradually increasing in difficulty and prizes. Practice, approach and tactics of the fortunate contestant will eventually enrich him or her with Php 1 million.

Challenges include fanning three raw eggs with a pizza box into a pre-designated area on the other side of the stage, stacking eight octagon bolts on top of each other using a barbecue stick to form a tower that must be freestanding for three seconds, tossing a water bottle and getting it to land upright on a table five feet away, and sucking candies with a straw and placing them one at a time on straws standing vertically.

This is the same international production that brought the local versions of “The Biggest Loser” and “MasterChef” and will be hosted by versatile actor/model Luis Manzano on January 14 on ABS-CBN.

Budoy

I must admit I got addicted with ABS-CBN’s newest Primetime Bida offering “Budoy.” Since it first telecast last October 10, I got to feel the pain of Zsa-Zsa Padilla (Luisa) as the mother of a special child who got lost and admire the character of Elena (Janice de Belen) who despite the child’s case wholeheartedly loved and took care of him as one of her own.

I am a mother and my kids are both normal, and thanks God for that. Having a child like “Budoy” is really a big test of motherhood, so difficult and painful. Not all people understand their situation and accept them as what they are, and to make it worst even the family of special children at times is the first one to belittle them.

“Budoy” may only be part of our evening schedule to watch but together let us all learn and apply the moral lessons of this to our daily lives.

Sagip Kapamilya

President Benigno Aquino III will visit 3 provinces on Wednesday to survey the damage brought by typhoons "Pedring" and "Quiel."

The president wants to personally survey the damage wrecked by the typhoons in the provinces.

My Fair Lady @ ABS-CBN Network

Kapamilya Gold presents "My Fair Lady" which started today, September 19. I love Yoon Eun Hye in her role in "Princess Hours" and really excited to watch her in this new telenovela.

Yoon Eun Hye or popularly known as Janelle in “Princess Hours,” returns on television not as a princess but as a stubborn, rich, spoiled brat in the newest romantic comedy “My Fair Lady.”

Meet Hanna Kang, a woman desired by men and envied by many women. Being the only successor to the Kang San Group, she has the looks, the fortune, and unfortunately, the mean attitude as well. Hanna will then find her match in the person of Johan Seo, who will turn her world upside down when he became her personal butler.

Korean drama "My Princess" @ ABS-CBN

I loved to watch ABS-CBN’s afternoon show’s Korean drama “My Princess.” Like many around the world, it entertains me to watch shows about royalty. Actually I watched “Princess Hours” too at the said network and able to love the characters.

“My Princess” tells the story of Lizelle played by Korea’s very own Kim Tae Hee. She is just an ordinary student who makes a living out of dressing up like a princess. Since she was a child, she has always dreamt of being with her father but her world fell apart upon learning that he had already died. Eventually, Lizelle discovers that she has royal blood. She meets Ethan, played by Asia’s premiere actor Song Seung Hun, who is a rich diplomat and is against the restoration of the monarchy. Because of the clashing interests of their families, they start having petty quarrels and disagreements. But unexpectedly, they fall in love with each other.

The romantic love story "My Princess" started airing on March 28 right before "Mula Sa Puso."

Starting November 8, TV Patrol will be anchored by 3 respected news icons: Ted Failon, Korina Sanchez and Kabayan Noli de Castro. The pilot episode is worth watching as how TV Patrol will be re-formatted for the comeback of De Castro and Sanchez. Who will emerge in the world of ratings on the said time slot: TV Patrol or Willing Willie?

Kris Aquino leaves Pilipinas Win na Win

The “Queen of All Media” is set to leave her 2 month noontime show “Pilipinas Win na Win” and her last appearance will be on October 1. It was the management decision to replace Kris Aquino and replace her with "Hitmakers" Rico J. Puno, Rey Valera, Marco Sison and Nonoy Zuñiga. Will the boys hit the hearts of the viewers? I’ve seen them played a game in an episode of “Wowowee” and it was fun. Would they be still catchy hosting the noontime show itself?

Willie Revillame's shows on TV5

Willie Revillame is still one of the controversial and hot stars in the showbiz industry. Recently, ABS-CBN file a P486M counterclaim over Willie while on the other bench the later is rumored to have 2 new shows at TV5 with titles “Willing Willie” and “Born to be a Star.” Said shows are set to start next month and that I think if the court will rule on Willie’s side over his cases with ABS-CBN. The manager and business partner of Willie, Vic del Rosario, disclosed that TV5 gives Willie the “full creative freedom” on the shows and that a more “focused and disciplined” Willie will be seen.

If said noontime show of Willie will materialize, there will be 3 noontime shows that people can get to watch: ShowTime (Channel 2), Eat Bulaga (Channel 7) and Willing Willie (TV5). Who will reign the noontime slot? That’s something worth waiting to see in the survey. So as Michael Buffer trademarked catchphrase goes: “Let’s get ready to rumble.”

New show & new case for Willie Revillame

The Philippine Entertainment Portal or PEP (from its anonymous source) buzzed the upcoming show of Willie Revillame over TV5 with rumored title “Willing-Willie Kami.” Some of the defunct “Wowowee” show are said to be part of the new show which will air end of this month or on October 10. Recently, ABS-CBN filed a P486M counter claim versus Willie.

Pilipinas Win na Win IN, Wowowee OUT

“Pilipinas Win na Win” will replace the noontime show “Wowowee” starting this July 31. The new show will be hosted by the Queen of All Media Kris Aquino and the Bad Boy of Philippine Cinema Robin Padilla together with Pokwang, Valerie Concepcion and Mariel Rodriguez. It’s exciting to see what this new show has to offer and the giveaways and prizes as well. What happens now to Willie Revillame? News said he will be given a new show. Kind of interesting to see what show is this and will it fits Willie’s personality.

Willie Revillame's letter to ABS-CBN

Will Willie Revillame leave Wowowee for good or his meeting with ABS-CBN bosses set on May 24 will turn everything into a happy ending? Currently the #1 noontime show is being handled by the “Bad Boy of Philippine Movies” Robin Padilla but only good for 2 weeks. The show is getting favorable response as its rating continues to mount up.

Yes it is true that many casted their unfavorable remarks on Willie over his actions like me but on my part I never ask for his resignation. Willie handles the show very well when speaking of it as a host of the show. I guess that’s the magic of Willie as a game show host. Aside from the generosity of the Network, his ability to keep the show alive and makes people laugh is a talent that suits him to handle the show.

Well for now we just need to wait for the result of the meeting on May 24 to know the ending of the story.

Willie: Please release me!

Kris Aquino leaving showbiz talk shows

Yes it’s official! The Queen of tri-media and controversial sister of President Elect Noynoy Aquino, Kris Aquino, will have to bid goodbye from her showbiz talk shows “The Buzz” and “SNN.” Kris announced Tuesday night at SNN what transpired with her conversation to the big bosses of ABS-CBN Network.

I find Kris effective in hosting such showbiz programs but leaving such shows for a new one that will spare her from controversies and in a way help her brother in public service, why not? ABS-CBN might give her a more appropriate show that will enable her to take part in helping Noynoy in his public service.

Kapamilya Fantasy Drama "Rosalka"

On May 17 is the premiere telecast of “Rosalka,” the newest Kapamilya fantasy drama. It will be starred by Empress Schuck as Rosa together with her 2 leading men Matt Evans and Felix Roco. Rosa who carries a hump on her back will discover a mystery surrounding her misery. Included in the casting are the following: Mickey Ferriols, Dominic Ochoa, Nikki Bacolod, Bernard Palanca, Maricar de Mesa, Kier Legaspi, Pretty Trisha and Ms. Mila del Sol.
