I’ve had my share of TV guestings before for pageant interviews and the like. So today – on a stormy Saturday- I finally participated in a TV game show.
I played Family Feud Philippines along with my fellow pageant bloggers Ameer Emir, Adam Genato and Edge Tenoria. What made the match more exciting is that we competed against the family of Miss Universe Philippines 2016 Maxine Medina whom I’ve known for years now. Shoutout to Tito Max and Tita Marife!
Kudos to host Dingdong Dantes who made us feel more relaxed all throughout the nerve-wracking four rounds.
Watch out for the airing before the end of September on GMA Network! It should be a fun episode.

Last night, GMA Network actress Marian Rivera (with GMA News Correspondent Nelson Canlas in the photo above) departed for Israel where she will be part of the selection committee for the 70th Miss Universe.
We wish you the best and may you have a most enjoyable stay in Eilat!
BTW, she will be accompanied by husband Actor Dingdong Dantes during the trip.

Miss World 2013 Megan Young
This is such a welcome assignment for the former Miss World because she was already into continuous serious acting prior to winning the blue crown in Bali last 2013. And given the advocacy-driven theme of the still-untitled teleserye, she is excited to be part of another ground-breaking series for the TV network.
Best of luck, Megan! Looking forward to this one! 🙂

Back to being Kapuso, Megan is
Miss World 2013 Megan Young is back to the network where she originally started her showbiz career that was beautifully interrupted last 2013 when she joined and won Miss World Philippines before claiming the blue crown in Bali, Indonesia the same year.
Queen Megan signed a one-year exclusive contract with GMA-7 where she is initially slated to host “Starstruck” – the reality-based artista search where was once a part of as a contender – with actor Dingdong Dantes. After this, the buzz is that she will finally return to full-time acting via a lead role in a teleserye which is still under wraps for now.
Welcome back to Philippine showbiz, Queen Megan! 😀
Former Bb. Pilipinas 2014 Official Candidate Hannah Mariz dela Guerra has now invaded the movies with a new screen name – Hanna Ledesma.

She landed the role playing the wife of lead actor Dingdong Dantes in “Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles” which is the sequel of the box-office hit “Tiktik”. Actually, she took over the role originally played by actress Lovi Poe (who dropped out of the cast).

Good luck in your new endeavors, Hanna! And may your star shine bright in showbiz! 😀
I will let the images and the ‘uncensored’ full trailer of the movie speak for themselves. “Tiktik” – the Aswang Chronicles could be the most impressive Filipino horror flick ever produced. Aside from it being entirely shot against a green screen, the production people – led by Director Erik Matti – used the most advanced technology in filmmaking.
The movie that could set the tone for a new advent in Pinoy digital filmmaking.

Notice the look and texture of the movie. Impressive!
The eerieness is excellently captured in this shot alone.
Watch “Tiktik – the Aswang Chronicles – co produced by GMA Films, Agostodos Productions, Mothership and Reality Entertainment – and scheduled to open nationwide on October 17. The movie stars Dingdong Dantes, Lovi Poe, Joey Marquez, Ramon Bautista, Janice de Belen and LJ Reyes.
Andrea Torres and Mikael Daez have waited long enough. Now is the time to look out for each other’s star to shine bright in the biz.
Mikael and Andrea: ready for their close-ups
Prior to their rise to lead status in the upcoming GMA-7 teleserye remake “Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga” (literally translated to English as “Hope It’s Really You”), they spent their time playing featured characters to the likes of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera (in “My Beloved” and “Amaya“) and even the relative newbie Kylie Padilla (in “Blusang Itim“). It was probably the network’s way of testing their patience. And it paid off, quite handsomely I must say. Afternoon Prime is a treasured block of GMA-7 since all its soaps airing from 3pm-6:30pm are constant top-raters, aside from making its stars more popular and bringing them closer to the masses.
There was a time when the cheers of the fans were for the lead stars. Mikael and Andrea are now the center of attention and getting the well-deserved adulation of the crowds.
Watch out for “Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga” which will start airing this coming Monday, September 3, on the second slot of GMA-7’s Afternoon Prime at around 3:45PM. 😉
It’s Sunday. Let’s take a much-needed breather from all the Bb. Pilipinas 2012 frenzy just for today so I can introduce one male personality who is very likely to become the next matinee idol of Philippine showbiz.
Benjamin Alves: Out to conquer showbiz via GMA-7
Meet Benjamin Alves.
Some might ask, “Benjamin who?” Well, the guy is a talent of the now-famous Mercator Model and Artist Management and is being handled by head honcho Jonas Gaffud who divides his time between making beauty queens and transforming models into hot celebrities. He is most definitely a cutie of a hunk – what with that good-looking face, those piercing eyes, and a pretty nice built. You’d better get ready to see more of him in the next few months as he starts embarking on a showbiz career that should make ‘Benjamin Alves‘ a household name in no time at all.
During the contract signing: (L-R) GMA Entertainment TV’s OIC Lilybeth G. Rasonable, GMA President and COO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr., GMA Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon, Benjamin Alves, Jonas Gaffud (Benjamin’s manager) and GMA Films President Annette Gozon-Abrogar
With those killer looks, how can Benjamin Alves miss?
Benjamin – co-managed by GMA Artist Center and Mercator – will be gradually molded into a dramatic actor in hopes of assuming leading-man status and getting paired with some of the network’s top actresses like Heart Evangelista, Lovi Poe, Rhian Ramos, Carla Abellana and Glaiza de Castro. Movies will most probably be in the offing as well. GMA Films has been steadily churning out a variety of flicks where he could get a role or two in the near future.
So what does the future hold for this tall and handsome 23 year-old? A lot, I reckon. He can fill the niche of GMA-7’s stable of artists waiting to be the next Dingdong Dantes, Richard Gutierrez or Dennis Trillo.
Remember the name – Benjamin Alves. Watch out for more as he boldly steps up to the showbiz plate. 😉
