ISANG REBYU SA "LOLA DOC", ISANG MONOVLOG MULA SA TANGHALANG PILIPINO AT SA INTERPRETASYON NI MS. NORA AUNOR!

Kailan ko ba huling nakita ng harap-harapan si Ms. Nora Aunor?

Kailan ko ba huling nadama ang napakalawak niyang Persona at kaluluwa?

Kailan?

Matagal-tagal na rin yata 'yun, nu'ng saglit ko siyang makatabi at makausap sa isang konsiyerto ng The Entertainment Arts & Media press group, na kung saan ay panauhin ang kasing-irog niyang si John Rendez.

Mula noon, lagi ko nang hinahanap-hanap ang presensya niya.

Na alam ko, dapat lang na manatili pa.

Malasap ng mas matagal pa.

Maakap.

Dahil ang presensyang 'yun, makapagdudulot pa rin ng pagasa at pagmamahal

sa mundong kinapapalooban ngayon ng mga agam-agam, sakit at pangamba

dahil sa Covid-19 Pandemic.

Pero salamat, hindi tayo iniwanan sa ere ng nag-iisang Superstar. Salamat at nandiyan pa siya.

Mas lalong umigting ang kanyang pagpapa-alala na nariyan pa siya sa isang MONOVLOG na dula

na likha at sinulat ni Layeta Bucoy at prinisinta ng Tanghalang Pilipino.

Isang kakaibang Acting Monologue ang nasaksihan ng lahat.

Damang-dama mo ang pagka-PERSONAL. Na para bang ikaw mismo ang kinakausap ni Nora

sa harap ng kamera.

Hindi pa rin nawala ang kakaibang tinig na iyon na tumutusok sa iyong puso- at, sa bawat pagsambit 

ng mga salita, makaka-relate ka.

Maaalala mo ang mga mahal mo sa buhay, ang mga kaibigan mo, ang mga pangarap mo.

Maiisip mo ang mga panganib na dulot ng Covid-19 at ang mga pag-iingat na dapat mong gawin.

Maging masaya man o malungkot

ang ending ng buhay mo sa panahon ng Pandemic na ito.

Alam mo, may mga iiyak pa rin para sa iyo.

Lalo na ang mga kabataang naghahanap pa rin ng atensyon at mga pagka-linga.

Mga batang pusong wagas at tunay kung magmahal.

HUWAG MO SILANG IIWAN, DAHIL IIYAK PA RIN SILA KAPAG WALA KA NA.

Kaya patuloy ka pa ring lalaban

upang MABUHAY

AT huwag pa ring MAMATAY....

MAGPAKAILANMAN.

(Bravo sa napakagaling at napakagandang acting na ipinamalas ni Ms. Nora Aunor sa Monovlog na ito. Maganda ang pagkakasulat ng maikling dula. Maayos ang biswal na presentasyon at ang Musika, dudurugin ka. Makikita mo na lang, tumutulo na pala ang mga luha mo. Gustong-gusto rin namin ang subtlety ng acting dito ni Noel Comia, Jr. na siya ring orihinal na estilo ni Ms. Nora Aunor sa pag-atake ng pagganap. Ang dalawa pang batang mga babae din ay tamang-tama lang ang mga emosyong ipinakita sa dula o Monovlog na ito. Opo, tunay namang ang karisma ni Nora ay hindi pa rin nawawala. At salamat, hindi niya iyon ipinagmaramot para sa lahat. Mabuhay ka, Nora! At mabuhay ang Tanghalang Pilipino, kasama na ang lahat ng mga Performing Artists sa mundong ito.---RMS***)

When beleaguered by grief and guilt, where do you draw strength to carry on with your sworn duty as a senior frontliner?

Featuring the country’s one and only superstar Nora Aunor, “Lola Doc,” a monovlog by Layeta Bucoy talks about the pains of losing one's husband in the middle of a pandemic, remaining strong for your family, and courageously facing the risk of being stricken by this deadly virus to attend to the sick. Will everything she has sacrificed be worth it?

DIREK BUBOY TAN, TAGAPAGLUTO NG PAGKAIN SA MGA FRONTLINERS AT ILANG BESES DING NAGBIGAY NG AYUDA SA KANILA...

Mark and direk Neal Tan

Isa itong si direk Buboy Tan sa mga celebrities na hindi magre-reply sa iyo kapag tinanong mo sila kung puwede bang isulat o i-blog ang mga heroic and "angelic" acts and deeds nila. Sasagot lang siya kapag mga tsikahan na ang usapan. Pero kapag itatanong mo siya kung puwede ba siyang isulat, biglang RED TAPE na ang beauty niya sa amin.

At, mas lalo naman naming hinahangaan ang mga ganitong klase ng celebrities. Kaya sana naman, huwag din silang magtampo sa amin kung sa ayaw at sa gusto nila, hayan, sige pa rin kami sa pagsusulat sa mga good acts nila sa pribado nilang buhay. Pasensya na po, maski ayaw ninyo. Hehehe.

Biruin mo naman ang lahat ng EFFORT ni direk Buboy! Grabe. Dadalawa lang sila sa bahay ng kanyang Forever na si Mark, aba eh, nagagawa pa nilang magluto ng mga putaheng sankaterba para sa mga Frontliners! Hindi birong gawin yan, ha.

Alas-singko pa lang ng umaga, gigising na sina direk Buboy at Mark para mag-jogging sa nearby subdivision streets nila, tapos, dederetso na sila sa community market within their area. At, hanggang alas-siyete lang ng umaga dapat, kasi, kapag alas-siyete na, darating na ang mga bantay at manghuhuli na sa mga taong lumalabas sa umaga. Kay hirap, di ba?

Pero nagawa iyon nina direk Buboy at Mark ng bonggang-bongga!!! Naka-pamalengke na sila and all, tapos magluluto na para sa mga Frontliners.

Kahanga-hanga. Good for more than 50 Frontliners lang naman po ang niluluto nina direk Buboy!!! Oh, my.

At hindi lang 'yan, maka-ilang beses na ring nagbigay ng Ayuda si direk Buboy sa mga Frontliners. Ito ay bilang suporta na rin sa kanila na nagbubuwis ng kanilang mga sariling buhay para sa mga pasyenteng may Covid-19.

MARAMING SALAMAT, DIREK BUBOY "NEAL" TAN, the pioneer of indie film making in the Philippines. Hindi lang sa panlabas ikaw maka-tao, maging sa panloob din.

A BEAUTIFUL SOUL, INSIDE AND OUT. BRAVO!

LANCE RAYMUNDO: AMONG THE CELEBRITIES THAT POSTS GOODNESS AND RIGHT KIND OF ATTITUDE AMIDST THE MECQ

One good thing about actor-singer Lance Raymundo is the fact that you won't read any negative FB Posts (or any other viral posts, to that matter) from him disliking a situation or putting-out his anger with the manner of things.

Lance has always been cool, positive and relaxed in his viral Posts. Not showing any kind of anger, or any complaint against the government, or igniting rebellion against the system.

Together with other celebrities we like and follow on FB- as we name them now- Ms. Glenda Garcia, Alma Concepcion, Richard Quan, Dulce, Rocco Nacino and Fanny Serrano-, these celebrities simply posts goodness, admirable strength, wisdom, positivity, and total well-being right kind of attitude.

No hates, no bitterness, no bad "shot-outs". But in contrast, they simply do THE RIGHT THING. imparting the correct mental and physical attitude as a Celebrity we all ADORE. Perfect. Kudos to the mentioned Celebrities here, including Lance!

BELOW ARE LANCE RAYMUNDO'S OWN MEANINGFUL WORDS IN AND AFTER THE MECQ (Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine):

"The best way to deal with this is to keep a positive disposition and embrace the new normal and be the best we can be in the new set up. Let’s not hold on to the things we are used to that are currently not allowed as it will hinder our productivity. Let’s move forward and know that we have the power to make things work out if we put our minds and hearts into it".

"The shutdown of Abs-Cbn Channel 2 is definitely a loss but it’s also not the end for an industry with people as passionate, gifted and talented as the Filipino artists. The Filipino Artist will keep standing".

"Being in quarantine in itself is already an exercise in strengthening our will and inner strength as human beings. By the time ECQ ends I feel like I’m ready to face the new world. There will be countless challenges but I known that with everyone’s cooperation and unity, we will cope".

"I’m keeping an open mind about things and I’m not holding on to expectations. On the other hand, I’m training my mind, heart and spirit to make the most and enjoy what life has in store for us in the new normal".

"Even on quarantine, the whole cast of Viva Films’ Penduko film are undergoing physical training online. We are set to resume production following the new normal guidelines as soon as the world opens".

"My passion has always been there. Time at home has given me the chance to see lots of movies and learn more about world cinema. I’ve accepted that there will be changes and that it will take time to get back to normal. But I know that we will get back there too in the right time. That’s why we really got to do our part by living responsibly in the new set up".

MGA FANS NI NORA AUNOR, MAY INIHANDANG MALAKING SORPRESA PARA SA KAARAWAN NGAYONG ARAW NA ITO NG KANILANG NAG-IISANG IDOLO!

Hindi muna namin sasabihin kung ano ang sorpresang iyon. Ayaw kasi naming ma-pre-empt ang mga fans ni Nora Aunor. Basta ang alam lang namin, may inihandang malaking sorpresa ang mga fans ni Nora Aunor para sa kaarawan ng nag-iisang Superstar.

Ang natitiyak lang namin, maaantig ng husto ang damdamin at mga emosyon ng Superstar sa sorpresang iyon. To think, wala pa yatang isang linggo ang naging preparasyon ng mga Noranians sa sorpresang iyon, pero hayun dumagsa ng napakaraming participants sa "surprise birthday gift" na iyon.

Kung hindi pa nag-set ng deadline ang mga taong nag-organize sa surprise na iyon, hindi titigil sa pagdagsa ng mga gustong mag-participate. Kasi hanggang sa last minute, may mga humahabol pa, eh.

Mga Noranians, longtime friends, colleagues in the entertainment industry, media people at lahat ng mga taong nagmamahal kay Nora- yes, silang lahat po ay makikita sa sorpresang iyon para kay Ate Guy,

Sayang lang nga, hindi nakasama ang blogger na ito sa sorpresang iyon, maski ba inimbitahan siya ni Ms. Marie Cusi na sumali. Pero dahil sa isang facial defect sa hitsura namin (YES PO, VAIN TALAGA KAMI.***) , ay ayaw naman naming makita kami ng mga Noranians na hindi maganda ang hitsura. Hehehe...

Anyway, bukod sa sorpresang inihanda ng mga fans ni Ate Guy, mamayang gabi naman, sa ganap na 6 P.M. ay masasaksihan na ng lahat ang online acting piece ni Ate Guy, at itong ang "LOLA DOC", isang monovlog na paghahandog ng Tanghalang Pilipino. Sa monovlog na iyon ay ide-deliver ni Ate Guy ang isang napakahabang MONOLOGUE, at, para sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam kung ano ang Monologue, ito ay isang napakahabang acting piece na mag-isa lang umaarte ang bida. Bongga, di ba?

It's such a rare treat for everyone. Biruin mo, bihirang-bihirang sumabak sa Teatro si Ate Guy, at hayan, sa viral pa ngayon mapapanood. Kakaiba talaga, Salamat talaga sa Tanghalang Pilipino for giving this privilege, at siyempre, mas marami ring salamat kay Ate Guy for accepting the viral project.

Mabuhay ang SINING! At maligayang kaarawan sa iyo, Ms. Nora Aunor!!!!

"26 HOURS: ESCAPE FROM MAMASAPANO", ILALABAN SA MMFF 2020 SA DISYEMBRE

Atty Ferdie Topacio's honest advocacy to produce a film on the Mamasapano Massacre

Napakaganda ng impresyon ng karamihan sa mga movie press people kay Atty. Ferdie Topacio, ang producer ng bagong tatag na Borracho Film Productions. Hindi kasi siya 'yung Lawyer na suplado, mailap o mahiyain. Si Atty. Topacio kasi, napakadali daw kausapin at maka-bonding. Isa siya sa mga tinuturing ngayong "Darling of the Press".

Kaya naman marami sa mga media people ang nangakong susuportahan ang pelikulang "26 Hours: Escape from Mamasapano", na ukol sa massacre na naganap sa mga pulis at sundalo sa Mamasapano nuong panahon na hindi pa si Pangulong Digong ang Presidente (sa opinyon namin, kung si Digong na ang Presidente nu'ng mga panahon na iyon ay hindi sana magaganap ang napaka-bayolenteng pangyayari na iyon sa mga sundalo at pulis).

Anyway, planong ilaban ang nasabing pelikula sa Metro Manila Film Festival sa darating na buwan ng Disyembre sa taong ito. Iyan, ay kung papalarin tayo na wala nang Second Wave na magaganap sa ating bansa para sa Covid-19. We all hope and pray.

Ilan sa mga artistang kasama sa pelikulang ito ay sina Edu Manzano at ang magandang si Myrtle Sarrosa. Nasa itaas ang video ng isang press conference na naganap sa nasabing pelikula, bago pa man magka-Covid-19. Makikita roon si Myrtle at si Atty. Topacio na sumasagot sa mga nakakaaliw na tanong ng isang movie writer. Kuha ni Mr. Roldan Castro ng Abante Tonite ang video na iyon.

Sa magaling na koordinasyon at P.R. ng lady Editor turned Publicist na si Ms. Anne Venancio, talagang mas pag-iibayuhin pa ng mga media people ang pagsuporta sa pelikula. Lalo na si Ms. Mercy Lejarde na gustong-gusto ang magandang pakikisama ni Atty. Topacio sa mga press people.

Isang makabuluhang pelikula ang "26 Hours: Escape From Mamasapano". Dahil dapat malaman ng publiko ang katotohanan sa likod ng pangyayaring iyon. Dapat mabigyan ng hustisya ang mga naging biktima rin. Via the film, may liwanag na sisikat muli para mabigyan ng katarungan ang pagkamatay ng maraming Pulis at mga sundalo sa pangyayaring iyon.

Mabuhay ka, Atty. Topacio.

MS. ASTER AMOYO INTERVIEWS BEAUTY ICON FANNY SERRANO IN ABANTE'S CELEBRITY TALK...

FANNY SERRANO: from rags to riches

Nang panoorin namin ang Celebrity Talk video na ito sa YOUTUBE.COM (nasa itaas), na isang one-hour program ni Tita Aster Amoyo sa Abante Tonite viral website, talagang tinapos namin mula sa umpisa hangga't sa huli. Gustong-gusto kasi namin ang pagka-casual ni TF bilang interviewee at ang pagka-smart naman ni Tita Aster bilang interviewer.

Bukod pa diyan, talagang namangha kami sa Life Story ni TF, hindi niya ikinahihiya kailanman na nanggaling siya sa hirap, nagpunyagi, naging Salon Owner, naging aktor, at isang tunay na Anak ng Sining.

Kaya naman sa pagiging very inspiring ng Youtube vid na nasa itaas, naisipan naming i-blog para maging inspirasyon sa karamihan. Na hindi sagabal ang kahirapan para tumayo at lumaban ka sa buhay. Taglay ang banayad na puso ni TF, at ni minsan, hindi siya nantapak ng kapwa-tao niya, ang tagumpay at respeto sa kanya ay hindi ipinagkait ng Diyos.

Maraming salamat sa magandang interview na ito, Aster Amoyo.

Maraming salamat din sa pag-SHARE mo sa buhay para sa aming lahat, TF!

JANAH ZAPLAN, MAHAL NG ENTERTAINMENT PRESS

janah and her ALIW award

janah: professional

janah endorss a coffee product

janah in san francisco bridge

janah in aperformances act

janah: good singer

janah with mom and dad

Napaka-supportive ni Janah Zaplan, kasama na ang guwapo niyang ama na si Dencie Zaplan, sa mga miyembro ng Entertainment Press. Kasi, sa tuwing may mga special projects ang entertainment press, isa si Janah sa madaling maimbita o mag-participate sa mga projects na iyon like concerts, mall shows, out-of-town shows and the likes. Maski sa mga espesyal na okasyon rin ng mga movie press people, hindi ka iisnabin ni Janah at lagi siyang naka-suporta talaga.

Tulad nuong nagkaroon ng Christmas Party last year ang T.E.A.M. (The Entertainment Arts & Media) press group last year sa Music 21 Plaza, isa si Janah sa mga female singers na nagpaunlak ng isang libreng awitin para mapasaya ang mga members ng TEAM. Nagpa-raffle pa si Janah at ang dad Dencie niya ng mga bonggang raffle prizes. Napaka-koboy kasi nilang mag-ama, napaka-natural, at napakabait. Kaya naman talagang mahal na mahal ng Entertainment Press si Janah.

Ngayong mukhang magtatagal pa ang ECQ o ang mga epekto ng Covid-19 Pandemic sa Pilipinas, isa si Janah sa mga nanalangin na sana'y tuluyan nang masugpo ang nabanggit na health cris.

"May mga concerts, and other projects pa na nabinbin at hindi ko po nagawa dahil sa Covid-19 Pandemic", nasabi ni Janah sa isang blogger. "Singing kasi is really my passion. At saka po, I miss schooling din, parang ang tagal ng naging bakasyon ko. Kaya right now, naghahanda na ako as of this early, sa August 24 start of schooling. At hindi ko rin naman nalilimutan ang magpraktis ng mga kanta ko palagi. Alam ko kasing kapag um-okey na ang lahat, kaliwa't kanan muli ang mga magiging singing engagements ko."

May inihahanda na ring bagong recording single si Janah (marami-rami na rin ang mga nagawa niyang recording singles), at isa pang major concert sana sa pagtatapos ng 2020. Kung hindi man sila matuloy this year, rest assured, by 2021 ay tiyak na gagawin ni Janah ang lahat ng mga iyon. Isa kasing nagustuhan ng mga movie press people kay Janah ay ang pagiging professional nito bilang isang artist.

"Isa po iyon sa mga natutunan ko sa father kong si Mr. Dencie Zaplan", sey pa ni Janah. "Dapat daw ay maging professional ako. Kapag may commitment ako, dapat gawin ko. Kapag may nasabi ako, dapat panindigan ko."

Ipinagdarasal ngayon ni Janah ang mga kababayan niyang Pilipino na masyadong naapektuhan ng Covid-19. 

"I always include them in my prayers", pagtatapos na wika ni Janah. "I ask God to find a cure for the sickness. And I do have faith na matatapos din ang krisis na ito sa lalong madaling panahon."

Aabangan din namin ang pag-iibayo ng pagka-ningning mo bilang isang bituin at singer, Janah.
