“Pinay My Girl” Starting May 26, PBB Teen Edition Big Winner Kim Chiu plays the role of the Pinay My Girl, ABS-CBN’s first drama franchise to be aired before Betty La Fea where Bea Alonzo was chosen to be the lead star.
Now Kim Chui plays the Pinay my Girl with Gerald Anderson!
They are so fun and very nice acting with kim… cheers…
Whatever the reason maybe, it did rocked Marian sweet sweet image…
But who are we to judge anyway, coming straight from Marian Rivera’s mouth, she had all the right to defend herself when respect between individuals is in question, Her “katarayan” only proves that she is indeed a true blue Batangueña.
She had to stand for her right of privacy, when it was already made clear to that controversial male fan of him that he is not allowed to take pictures or videos during that time.
But just some thoughts to contemplate,
why is she directly the one who have to argue, isn’t it the job of the staffs, P.A.’s and securities personnels to keep things in order?
Was the situation really that bad for her to go to that extent of behaviour?
Since it happened more than a month ago, when her fame is not yet at its highest level, is it a justification that “hindi pa lumalaki ulo nya”?
Peace friends… 
Gina Pareño a Pinay Actress has given another glory to the Philippine Movie Industry, she is part of the main cast of the latest indie (independent) film titled Serbis, which is among the 20 films chosen to compete in the 61st Cannes Film Festival, the premier international film festival held yearly in Cannes, France on May 14 to 25.
Serbis is the story of a family living in a rundown movie house in Angeles City, Pampanga. Gina Pareño plays the matriarch who owns the moviehouse, while her family members serve as her employees. Playing Gina’s children are multi-awarded actress Jaclyn Jose, former action star Dan Alvaro, and newcomer Roxanne Jordan.
This is only the third time that the Philippines has been invited to this section in Cannes: the first time in 1980 with the late National Artist Lino Brocka’s Jaguar and the second in 1984 with Kapit sa Patalim, also by Brocka.
Gina Pareño has already received countless recognition in her acting, specially in her second comeback to the industry these past decade..starting with her comeback movie Magic Temple (1996). This Pinay is also a favorite cast of Judy Ann Santos movies or teleseryes. Personally, I enjoy watching Gina Pareño portraying any roles, may it be comedy or best in drama. She is one of the best pinay actress that have been able to make a succesful comeback in the industry. More awards are yet to come for this briliant Pinay Actress..

The same movie also won for best director and best picture. During the 32nd Metro Manila Film Festival Awards Night, she was awarded the Best Supporting Actress as an outspoken and brash mother in the movie Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo.

Madonna Decena is another YouTube Sensation singer, many viewers who have watched her heart warming rendition to Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” were so touched that even the judges are teary eyed after her singing.
Madonna “Mado” Decena is a 32 year old, single mom of two. She left her daughters with their grandparents here in the Philippines in able to work abroad. When she sang her piece, it naturally came out to be from the heart because of all the hardships she is experiencing abroad. Although she is hoping to win in the Britains’s Got Talent second series, she is still uncertain although she is one of the crowds favorite, because Got Talent is not primarily a singing contest, but a contest for all sorts of talent.
But anyway, what she has proven is already a big step and even if she doesn’t win (although we are crossing our fingers), she is still another Pinay who have made many Filipinos proud, once again. Aim High Pinay!!
Madonna Decena
Madonna’s singing career begins
Now in her 30’s, Madonna Decena started singing when she was only three years old. She trained at the age of 7, started joining singing competitions when she was 11, then became a professional singer at the tender age of 16. “Buhay ko na ang kumanta. I never planned to be in an office at all even if I excelled in school and I was very active in my singing kahit nasa college na ‘ko,” Decena said. Madonna Decena was part of several bands in the Philippines, and sang in hotels and bars. She was also a member of major musical theaters. “I also was part of… Musical Theater Phils ni Ms. Celeste Legaspi at Trumpets ni Audie Gemora. Also I was able to work with Lou Bonnevie for Dimitri Prod sa Lapu Lapu Musical and once on this island ng Chase Intl.” She’s also a veteran of singing competitions from TV shows to barrio fiestas.
Working student
To augment her family’s income, she became a working student. “I also worked for Mc Donalds as a local store marketing trainee, sa SM City yun high school ako. So if I got a little I will help with expenses sa bahay o ano man ang kulang,” Decena said. Decena said she tried to be smart with her money since she was young. “I only spend if its worth it… siguro mga passion ko lang as a girl ang ginagastusan ko. Let’s say perfume or very nice shoes, make up at mga magagandang gamit. Madalas padala lang ng mg tita, tito abroad kung di bigay o hand me downs lang ang mga magaganda at mamahalin na gamit na makikita n’yo sa amin.
Decena eventually graduated from Miriam College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Arts.
Living in London
Madonna Decena also shared her life in and how she got the chance to join the show Britain’s Got Talent. The singer said a typical day in is spent cooking, resting, and cleaning the house. She is staying with her friends and she does not go out too often because of the cold weather.
She also goes around the city of and does the grocery. Decena said when she has available work she stays in her manager’s place in Prescot. But why work in the United Kingdom? “I tried to work there (in the Philippines) pero di talaga kaya. I went to Singapore twice with a band and ok lang, then wala na kong contrata. After after months dito na ako sa UK
Hardships in the
Madonna Decena said it is hard to work in London. When her best friend found a manager in need of an artist, she auditioned and luckily got the job. “Ginawan ako ng work permit so nakabalik ako ng Pinas to do my work visa. I saw the kids for the last time. Iyak ng iyak ang panganay ko si Ysl sama na daw sya o kaya wag na akong umalis, si Yra yung bunso cool lang kasi bata pa pero sya ang lagi nagsasabi na uuwi na ba ako?” she said. Decena said she is working for a small company called “Steve Jones Entertainments.” She asked the company to help her and in return she will do her best to help the company. But she said it still did not provide much work for her. “So naisip ko na sumali sa Britain’s Got Talent s’yempre para makakuha ang isang artist ng trabaho. I need exposure, best way is TV and thank God everything went well and the rest is history.” Decena is now separated from the father of her kids, and refused to comment further on her lovelife.
“So ako, handa sa mangyayari. Okay lang kahit matalo. Kasi alam kong naabot ko na rin yung purpose ko ba’t ako sumali. Manalo, matalo, madami nakarinig sa aking kumanta at alam kong mas madaming trabaho ang makukuha ko para makaipon para sa mga anak ko. Ultimately makasama ko na sila kasi kaya ko na silang supportahan,” Decena said

Charice Clarice Relucion or Charice Pempengco will now be known internationally as simply Charisse. It was decided by her handler to drop Pempengco in her launching career in the Hollywood.
I first saw Charice in the Little Big Star, honestly she is not my favorite, because I already thought before that there was something amiss during her production number with the other. Especially her instant noodle soup commercial. Now I think it’s because her talent is quite different pala, pang-international! Of course, I am not saying that the other kids are not for international scene, but I guess there’s something more on Charice Pempengco.
I watched her performance at some Korean show, I might say she performed better there than at Ellen’s Show. I still remember some forum comparing her to Bianca Ryan, to Lani Misalucha, but not to Sarah Geronimo except nowadays. I think it is Madam Auring who predicted that this 2008, Charice will outshine Sarah, but I believe that won’t happen because Sarah will always be special in the hearts of the Filipino. And we are thanking Charice for making Filipinos proud once again. Go girl…. Aim High Pinay!
Charice Pempengco
Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, better known by her screen name Charice Pempengco (born May 10, 1992), is a Filipina singer who became a singing sensation throughout the world through YouTube. She started joining singing contests at the age of seven but became widely known in her native Philippines when she placed third in Little Big Star.
Pempengco first attracted attention in the cyberworld when the FalseVoice channel of YouTube posted her Little Big Star performance of Whitney Houston’s hit, “I Will Always Love You.” Many viewers thought her singing was fake, and that she was only lip synching because of her unbelievable vocals. Another popular video was a face-off between Pempengco and America’s Got Talent winner, Bianca Ryan. These videos brought Pempengco to the attention of Ten Songs Productions, a record company based in Sweden. She then traveled to Stockholm in June 2007 and recorded seven songs, which included three cover songs, namely Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill,” and the Shakespears Sister’s “Stay” plus four original songs, “Amazing,” “All The Money in the World,” “It Can Only Get Better,” and “Born to Love You Forever.” There is no news about when an album will be released.
On December 5, 2007, Martin Nievera invited Charice Pempengco to his concert where she sang “The Prayer” with him followed by a solo performance of the song, “One Moment in Time”.
Flory, a friend of mine and some of the still existing fans of Sandara Park is surely missing her a lot.
Sanda Park is one of the first batch of winners in the Star Circle Quest along with Roxanne Guinoo, Joross Gamboa, Melissa Ricks and the controversial Hero Angeles, they are the original stars who emerged from Reality Search TV programs searching for new stars, who have given new life to our local showbiz industry. What made her stand-out? Aside from a being a Half Korean, she is an extra-ordinary girl with an extra-ordinary humor and views in life that made her popular, even to be tagged as krung-krung ( a Filipino slang which means “a little bit crazy”). She just acts so weird and at the same time remains so sweet and candid and honest to what she believes.
What caused her downfall in the Philippine showbiz? I believe her decision to go back to Korea to study right after winning, did affected her career, although she was able to revive it by her team-up with Hero Angeles. But the controversies that shrouded Hero’s career, affected her the most … from them on her career went from serious and promising to nothing, she even ride the wagon of those teenagers shedding clothes for Men’s magazine, plus switching to the Kapuso station.
Where is Sandara Park now? An exclusive feature from abs-cbn reveals that:
After returning to Korea and signing up with YG Entertainment (one of the major talent management agencies in Seoul), Sandara Park has been busy doing workshops in dancing, singing, and acting to prepare her for the very competitive world of Korean showbiz. Now, she has finished her first major project: a part in the music video for “I’m Sorry” by veteran singer Gummy, which debuted on March 12. In this exclusive interview with ABS-CBN Interactive, Sandy recalls how she felt after finding out she got the much-coveted part, “Wow, go go go! Kasi almost one year din ako di nag-work. So I missed the camera so much! Na-miss ko sobra yung taping, shooting… At bored din ako. Kaya nung tumawag manager ko na shooting na agad bukas, tumalon ako sa tuwa!”
In Korea, it’s a common practice to get artists to star in another star’s music video. Sandy considers herself doubly lucky not just to get the lead role in the video, but also to be paired opposite Top, a member of the popular band Big Bang. She and Top also have a kissing scene in the music video. When news of the kiss spread online, it caused a major uproar among Top’s rabid fans who were curious to find out who she was, making “Sandara Park” the most-searched name in a Korean entertainment portal last week.
After promising to update us with more juicy details on her career, Sandy gives a message to her loyal fans in the country. “I’m so sorry na umalis na ako diyan pero lahat ito para sa mas magandang future and lagi ko kayo naaalala. Please don’t forget about me and wait for my comeback sa showbiz! Pang international krung-krung nako! Lahat ito para sa inyo. Thank you very much. I miss you so much. Mahal ko kayo!”
Personally, I’m glad that she is doing ok now. I wish her well and hope the best for her. GO Girl!

Obviously, Melissa Ricks is following the lead of Roxanne Guinoo and becoming more daring now, she came from Star Circle Quest. Actually Melissa Ricks is supposed to be the Eden in the Panday TV remake of Jericho Rosales (the one played by Heart Evangelista) but since at that time she is only 14-15 years old some scenes are just unworkable for her. She continued to be the sweet teen star honing her skills in hosting and trying all kinds of roles, eventually paired with Matt (from PBB Teen Edition).
Melissa Ricks is a Filipina Actress, at present, her team-up with Matt, (a PBB teen editions housemate before) is doing her good, they look good together on screen and their new show “Sayang na Sayang” is yet to prove her acting ability and would determine her future as a more matured actress under the management of ABS-CBN. Hopefully it would turn out ok for her. GO Pinay.. Aim High…

From the shy girl to the next big leading stars of the Philippine Entertainment. She started as one of the contenders in the Star Circle Quest of ABS-CBN, what’s noticeable about her is her sweet and innocent face combined with an intrepid eyes. Direk Dyogi even made a forecast that she would be the next Kristine Hermosa, and that he would be there to support her. True enough she is one big star now.
Her decision to sign for the White Castle contract and be more bold and daring probed to be one of her wisest decision. (but I just wonder how shedding clothes for those previously teeny bopper stars could make or break them into entering the more serious genre of acting).

The recent scandal that had slap our Pinay actress is somehow depressing and disappointing. Does nobody learn from the old scandals that have come out? Are these things actually done to serve as their vehicle to stardom? Or are they really the victims of exploitation of some unscrupulous men in our society?…
The prank done by Jolas, Nicole and Alex for the supposed April Fools Day wasn’t that funny at all. But i ought to commend Alex for his acting.. hehehe (another Sam Milby in the makin?) But anyway, to update you i think it’s only Jolas in the group of boys who didn’t shed a single tear yet, in any episode, i wonder if they are competing with the gurls in terms of crying. Mas iyakin na ata mga teenager boys ngaun (Huh! 
)
The highlight of yesterday’s episode is the pom-pom galapong. hehehe Mommy Linda (the one who has a funny comment about jacuzzi) treated everybody with her own version of lullabye. Super uncomfortable ata nina Robi at Joseff to that kind of treatment.
And then there was the scene with Ejay’s father, Ejay’s dad pala is no read, no write, the more i’m admiring him now.
Lastly, i wasn’t able to dig anything yet to feed my curiousity about Beauty’s alleged scandal.. whatever it may be, she’s still on my top five list.^^
