Nikki: Kontrabida roles are therapeutic

Nikki Gil describes her antagonist role in "Mundo Man Ay Magunaw" as a far cry from the goody-two-shoes characters she's been playing in her past TV series. It’s also her most challenging role and more importantly, the one that has left the greatest mark on televiewers.

"I've done seven teleseryes and wala talagang nag-mamarka. Timing na rin that I was exposed to theater because I grew as an artist. So when the opportunity to do 'Mundo Man ay Magunaw' came and it was out of my character yung role, go talaga ako! Nakaka-excite talaga yung story," Nikki remarked proudly.

The past soap operas or TV series she did were "Rounin," "Florinda," "Pieta," "Tonyong Bayawak" and "Nagsimula sa Puso" among others.

Nikki Gil

Non-confrontational

Were there adjustments?

"Yes kasi as a person hindi ako confrontational. Hindi rin naman ako maldita. Kasi pag-inaway ako tahimik na lang ako," she replied.

As for the technique she uses in making her character Jennifer la Pena believable and convincing on TV, Nikki says it's all about venting out her frustrations.

"Ang tumatakbo sa isip ko yung mga gusto kong reactions pag may umaaway sa akin. Dun ko nilalabas sa character ko," she described.

She also did some research.

"What I lack in experience I have to make up for in research. Binalikan ko yung mga movies na na-affect ako. Mga stereotypical roles tulad ng 'Mean Girls.' Of course there's Cherie Gil, Gladys Reyes, and Dina Bonnevie, mga artistang tipong madaan ka lang tingin," she said.

Scenes with Eula

This is one of the reasons she always looks forward to her scenes with Eula Valdez even if it always makes Nikki nervous. It only means that she has to be at par with Eula in their scenes.

"Yung presence pa lang ni Eula is already intimidating. Parang gusto mo na lang magtago sa lupa kasi napakahusay niya. Wala pang sinasabi tumatakbo na ang mga eksena," commented Nikki.

What if she'd always be cast in "kontrabida" roles?

Nikki said that she doesn't mind because in terms of longevity, there are more actresses needed for "kontrabida" roles. It also gives her a different high.

"I like playing a kontrabida. I like improving myself as a kontrabida. I'm learning newer ways to be mean and maldita," expressed Nikki. "I find it very therapeutic kasi yung mga frustations ko dun ko nalalabas."

Compared to hosting, Nikki thinks acting is most fulfilling even if it's the most tiring.

"When you're acting, you're using your whole being. Sa acting lahat ginagamit mo, puso, isip, emotions and katawan mo. But if I can do both ng alternate that would be paradise," she stressed.

GMA Network Marks Another Win in Nationwide Ratings Last March

GMA Network Marks Another Win in Nationwide Ratings Last March


Leading local multimedia company GMA Network, Inc. (GMA) dominated the National Urban Television Audience Measurement (NUTAM) ratings last March based on figures furnished by broadcast industry’s more trusted ratings source Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.

For the period March 1 to 31 (March 25 to 31 based on overnight ratings), GMA scored an average household share of 35.1 points in NUTAM, notably higher than ABS-CBN’s 31.3 points by 3.8 points and TV5’s 14.6 points by 20.5 points.

Using the assumption that there are five viewers per household, GMA had almost 700 thousand more viewers than ABS-CBN and 3.7 million more viewers than TV5 nationwide for the said period.

In Mega Manila, where more than 59 percent of total urban television households in the country are found, GMA recorded a commanding total-day average of 40.1 household share points putting ABS-CBN’s 26.0 points in distant second and way ahead of TV5’s 14.4 points.

Converted to eyeballs, GMA recorded an estimated viewer count of 4.5 million viewers, around 1.6 million more viewers over ABS-CBN, and almost 2.9 million more viewers than TV5 in its bailiwick.

The list of top-rating shows in Mega Manila was almost an exclusive terrain of the Kapuso Network as it swept 7 out of 10 slots. The GMA programs that made the list were 24 Oras, Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho, Biritera, My Beloved, Legacy, Eat Bulaga, and iBilib.

In Urban Luzon, which accounts for 77 percent of the total urban television households nationwide, GMA also prevailed over competition with a total-day average of 38.8 share points versus ABS-CBN’s 27.4 points and TV5’s 14.1 points.

GMA averaged 5.4 million viewers in Urban Luzon, approximately 1.6 million more viewers over ABS-CBN and 3.5 million more viewers over TV5.

GMA was consistently ahead of ABS-CBN and TV5 across all dayparts in Mega Manila and Urban Luzon, most notably in the afternoon block where GMA scored ratings equivalent to more than twice that of its rival stations’.

GMA Network subscribes to the Nielsen TV Audience Measurement along with 21 other companies including two local networks, namely, TV5 and Solar Entertainment; Faulkner Media; CBN Asia; 14 advertising agencies and three regional clients. On the other hand, ABS-CBN is the only local major TV network reportedly subscribing to Kantar Media, formerly known as TNS.

The Nielsen TV Audience Measurement has a sample size of 1,190 homes in Mega Manila versus Kantar Media’s 770 homes. Nielsen also has a nationwide sample size of 2,000 homes compared to the lower sample size of 1,370 utilized by Kantar Media.

Newest Boy Band 'VFORT' Launches its First Album "VFORT: The Love Band Project"

Newest Boy Band 'VFORT' Launches its First Album "VFORT: The Love Band Project"


When 2012 was foretold the end of the world, there is one band that comes out headstrong in launching themselves with a bang – VFORT w/ their first album ever. They may be no Backstreet Boys or *NSync but they surely are OPM’s very own; the Philippines’ newest pride in reviving what has been missing in today’s music - depth in pop music, wit in lyrics, and timelessness across generations.

Upbeat yet Deep.
Witty and Simple.
Relatable and Timeless.

No doubt, VFort, composed of Kerwin Caballero, Toff Guela and Visam Arenas, is at it to make all of these love elements work in their project to make boybands a force to reckon with – VFORT: THE LOVE BAND PROJECT.

In this record, VFort retells the romantic Filipinos’ slice of life through heartwarming melodies & relatable poetry. True Faith’s Bimbo Yance and Jake Lumacad & Driven Band’s Josh Villegas and Larry Ropero took care of the musical arrangement while their voice coach, also a schooled musician, Jeff Cifra lent his songwriting skills to helm the album’s creative direction. VFort’s album boasts of ten masterpieces that are tailor-made to express rather than impress. Each song tells a story of its own, reflective of love and life from various perspectives and experiences.

Their carrier single, PRINSESA, which is now airing in major radio stations nationwide, is an upbeat song of love from a man who expresses his deep affection & sense of passion to a woman who he hopes of making his lifelong partner.

THE COFFEE SONG is a feel-good tune that gives us a taste of love alive, love at first sight and love at first time.

STILL is a midtempo ballad about holding on to a love gone by, hopeful of another try.

SWEETHEART is a pop song about love proclaimed with pride, with hearts and arms wide open.

One will readily find himself lost in the melancholy of songs such as HINDI KO KAYA (co-written with VFort's Toff); lost in the promise of everlasting love in MANANATILI; or lost in the reality that sometimes, love tires, in the power ballad in KUNG PAG-IBIG AY WALA NA (feat. Driven Band’s female vocalist Dianne Ang).

Love is such a strong feeling, it makes you move! Experience love in motion in songs like the upcoming club hit DANCE (Take Me To The Floor)!. And groove to the sexy beat of COULDN’T BE WITHOUT YOU (feat. the soulful voice of beauty queen Katrina Jayne Dimaranan).

And VFort is anything but conventional, a pioneer in its class – the team reinvents P!nk's 2001 smash hit JUST LIKE A PILL, taking a bold risk of incorporating alternative, pop, and crossover musical elements altogether with vocal arrangements of choric inspiration, with live and electronic instrumentation.




Coming out as hot this April 9, 2012 under Viva Records, “VFORT: THE LOVE BAND PROJECT” will be launched in the band’s concert on April 21, 2012, 7PM at Metro Bar in West Ave., Quezon City. VFort is managed by Viva Artists Agency and Vivre Fort Entertainment. For more details about the band, visit www.vfortband.com.


Watch below the music video for PRINSESA, VFort's carrier single featuring their dream Prinsesas - Shamcey Supsup (Ms. Universe 2011 3rd Runner-up), Dianne Necio (Bb. Pilipinas- International 2011) and Isabella Manjon (Bb. Pilipinas- Tourism 2011):

David Archuleta 'Forevermore' Music Video and Lyrics






There are times
When I just want to look at your face
With the stars in the night

There are times
When i just want to feel your embrace
On a cold night

I just can't believe
That you are mine now

You were just a dream that i once knew
I never thought i would be right for you
I just can't compare you with anything in this world
You're all i need to be forevermore

All those years
I long to hold you in my arms
I've been dreaming of you

Every night I've been watching
All the stars that fall down
Wishing you will be mine

Time and again
There are these changes that we cannot end
As sure as time keeps goin on and on
My love for you will be forevermore

As endless as forever
Our love will stay together
You are all i need to be with forevermore
(as endless as forever)
(our love will stay together)

You are all i need to be with forevermore.
