With his recent and upcoming concerts scheduled, noontime show, Showtime and his upcoming movie, Petrang Kabayo, Vice Ganda is overwhelmed with the blessings he is having now. “Unti-unti kong ninanamnam. Hindi pa nag si-sink in ng buong buo na tapos na, magsho-showing na, tapos ako nga yung bida. Natatawa lang ako. Kinakabahan, masaya, kinakabahan pero mas namumutawi yung saya kesa kaba.”


Vice Ganda shared the story when he was informed about the said movie. He told the entertainment press,  “Nung itinawag sakin ni Direk Wenn yan, kasalukuyang nasa Showtime ako, nagju-judge ako. Nawala ako sa sarili… nag usap kami ni Direk Wenn, sabi niya, wala ng ibang panahon na pwede mong gawin ito, kundi ito na.”

Petrang Kabayo dealt with the original

Petrang Kabayo dealt with the original

Direk Wenn Deramas shared his story on how he came up with the idea of making a remake of the 80’s film, Petrang Kabayo. He said, “Sabi ko Boss Vic buksan niyo yung TV niyo. Lagay mo sa Showtime. Sabi niya, ‘o ano?’ Sabi ko, Tignan mo si Vice o’ nakakatawa. Ano tingin niyo Boss, anong tingin niyo sa Petrang Kabayo? So sabi niya, ‘Go’. Sabi ko, aalamin ko lang kung sinong dapat bayaran para sa rights ng Petra. So, e tatay-tatayan ko si Pablo S. Gomez dahil sa Kampanerang Kuba. Ako mismo yung tumawag kay Tatay Pabs tapos sabi niya ‘Si Roderick ulit?’ sabi ko di na po, si Vice Ganda na po. Tapos sabi niya, ay gusto ko yun, nanonood din pala siya ng Showtime.” He furthered that the rest is history. The production had a meeting and bought the rights to do the remake of Petrang Kabayo.

On alteration of the story. Direk Wenn Deramas admitted that he reformatted the story of Petrang Kabayo. It’s just the name that is retained. “Completely bago. Yung title lang po na Petrang Kabayo. Napagkasunduan po namin yun na siyempre sa makabagong panahon, kailangan po natin tsaka bigyan nating chance si Vice na ipakita yung kanyang galing para hindi lang basta maikumpara yung pelikula niya kay Kuya Dick… palakihin na natin. Pakitain na natin ng sobra sobra yung tukso sa kanya mula pagkabata.”

For Filipino Boxer, Money Opens Door to Politics

For Filipino Boxer, Money Opens Door to Politics

MANNY PACQUIAO’S black Hummer was nowhere in sight. The parade that he was supposed to lead had already wound down in front of the town hall here. His seat, the seat of honor, stood vacant on a stage on which singers, three beauty queens and the province’s ruling political class sat waiting.
Mr. Pacquiao, possibly the best boxer in the world and a new congressman in the Philippines, had awakened at home a little earlier, still jet-lagged from a trip to the United States, where he had been promoting his next fight. He was the main financial sponsor of the annual “foundation day” festival here in Alabel, the capital of Sarangani, the southern province that was carved out of another in 1992 and that he now represents in the House of Representatives.

Pepe Smith

Smith was a member of the nationalistic and the seminal Philippine rock group, the Juan dela Cruz Band along with fellow musicians, Wally Gonzales and Mike Hanopol. "Juan dela Cruz" is the recognized term for the "everyman" in Philippine society. The Juan dela Cruz Band initiated the rock music revolution in the Philippines, veering away from covers of foreign hit songs and focusing on original songwriting. The trio has always been credited of spearheading the Pinoy Rock genre in the Philippine music industry.
Smith was also a member of the Japanese rock trio, Speed, Glue & Shinki, an interest in amphetamines being the attribution for the "Speed" moniker in the name of the band.

Sam Pinto is proud to be a Kapuso

After many speculations and rumors on who the Viva artist would be a Kapuso, the blur has been cleared out to finally set the stage to this young Viva artist. Sam Pinto, the ‘it-girl’ in the showbiz industry recently signed a three-year contract with GMA7. With the big bosses of the Kapuso station, Felipe Gozon, Gilberto Duavit Jr., Wilma Galvante, Annette Abrogar, and Ms. Veronique del Rosario, General Manager of Viva Artist Agency, GMA7 welcomed Sam Pinto with a delight of having the natural and talented beauty, Sam Pinto at the Kapuso channel.
“For now, it’s a long term contract kaya tuloy tuloy naman yan e, yung mga projects niya with the Kapuso Network. So Sam, welcome, welcome, our brand new Kapuso,” Wilma Galvante, the Senior VP and Head Entertainment Television proudly told the press with the new found talent.
 “For TV, makikita natin siya sa soap opera na coming soon. And she’ll be part of Bubble Gang. Makikita rin natin siya paminsan-minsan sa Party Pilipinas. And also, she’s the leading lady of Senator Bong Revilla sa Agimat entry ni Senator Bong sa Film Fest so magiging very visible siya this coming months,” Annette Abrogar, the President of GMA Network, Films Inc. shared the anticipated projects for Sam Pinto.
She also added, “For me, personally, napakaganda niya. She has a very beautiful face and maganda kasi yung projection niya e. Kahit na maganda siya, parang nakikita mo na siya ay still down-to-earth and hindi tayo mahihirapan na ma-type cast siya sa isang role na pang mga sosyal lang or pang mahirap kasi I think she can tackle any role. From what I hear, she can also do action so, it’s very good to have versatile actresses in our network.”
We’ve already seen her at Midnight DJ, a show of TV5. After her all-tell exposure at PBB, a reality show of ABS-CBN, she will now make waves with the Kapuso Station. “Because I’m with Viva and I think they know what’s best for me”, Sam told us why she is transferring to the Kapuso Station. Will we see a new image for Sam Pinto? “As much as possible, I don’t want to change my image. Not now, maybe when I have to nalang.”

What are her expectations with her new management? “Everytime na I watch Party Pilipinas, naexcite na ko magperform, parang nakakamiss din after a while… Actually, as of now, I’m very open to anything and everything. Wala pang specific role. Basta I want to try everything. As in yung mga wild na roles. Kahit di bagay sakin, I wanna try it para iba naman.”
