'Insurgent' opens in cinemas this March 19

The second installment in the highly-successful young adult book phenomenon “The Divergent Series: Insurgent” translates to the big screen with returning cast including Golden Globe®-nominee Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Ansel Elgort, Academy Award®-winners Kate Winslet and Octavia Spencer, Jai Courtney, Ray Stevenson, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, Maggie Q and Mekhi Phifer, based on author Veronica Roth’s New York Times best-seller of the same name.

Insurgent

“The second film in the Divergent franchise takes the story and action to another level and we were able to blend gripping performances and mind-blowing spectacle to create a unique event on screen," said producers Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher. “We cannot wait to share this experience with audiences around the world.”

Directed by Robert Schwentke and written by Brian Duffield, Akiva Goldsman and Mark Bomback - “The Divergent Series: Insurgent” raises the stakes for Tris as she searches for allies and answers in the ruins of a futuristic Chicago. Tris (Woodley) and Four (James) are now fugitives on the run, hunted by Jeanine (Winslet), the leader of the power-hungry Erudite elite.  Racing against time, they must find out what Tris’s family sacrificed their lives to protect, and why the Erudite leaders will do anything to stop them.  Haunted by her past choices but desperate to protect the ones she loves, Tris, with Four at her side, faces one impossible challenge after another as they unlock the truth about the past and ultimately the future of their world.

Wherein Veronica Roth’s “Divergent” book series has already sold nearly 30 million copies around the world, “Insurgent” likewise poises to outgross the first Divergent film that grossed nearly $300 million at the global box office.  The third and fourth installments in the franchise, Allegiant – Parts 1 & 2, are slated for (U.S.) release on March 18, 2016 and March 24, 2017, respectively.

In the Philippines, the countdown has begun as March 19 nears when cinemas nationwide opens screens for the most awaited spectacle of the year that is “Insurgent.”

From Jodi to Judy: Richard Yap is Judy Ann Santos' next leading man

Richard Yap and Jodi Sta Maria loveteam no more? Richard Yap will next
be paired with the Queen of Soap Opera Judy Ann Santos.
ABS-CBN Ad prom head Eric John Salut has just announced it on Twitter
this Sunday afternoon: "@ImRichardYap08 will team up with the Queen of
Pinoy Soap Opera Ms. Judy Ann Santos in a teleserye. Soon."
Great news, as it's been a long time already that Judy Ann starred in
a teleserye. She's been doing hosting for more than a year already ('I
Do', 'Bet On Your Baby') and her last soap as 'Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala'
with Sam Milby and KC Concepcion in 2013.
It's another big break for Richard Yap, coming off the highly
successful 'Be Careful With My Heart' daytime soap which ran for more
than 2 years. To be paired with Ms. Judy Ann Santos is pretty
something.
But the sad news is, his loveteam with 'Be Careful' co-star Jodi Sta.
Maria will have to take a rest.
Jodi on one hand is doing 'Pangako Sa 'Yo' and the chance of having
Richard as Eduardo in the soap has become slimmer now that he's doing
a show instead with Judy Ann Santos.

Finally! Mayweather - Pacquiao in May 2, 2015

The much-awaited fight of two bankable fighters will now come into life. Floyd Mayweather has confirmed he will fight Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on 2 May, 2015.



"What the world has been waiting for has arrived," the undefeated fighter said. "Mayweather vs Pacquiao on May 2, 2015 is a done deal."


"I promised the fans we would get this done, and we did. We will make history on May 2nd. Don't miss it! This is the signed contract from both fighters."


He also noted that his late-night visit to Pacquia's hotel room after an NBA game is quite worthy.


"I am glad my decision to meet with Manny and discuss making this fight happen helped get the deal done," said Mayweather. "Giving the fans what they want to see is always my main focus."


"This will be the biggest event in the history of the sport. I am the best ever… and this fight will be another opportunity to showcase my skills and do what I do best, which is win."


Having no loss and 47 wins, Mayweather said Pacquiao will be his 48th.


"Manny is going to try to do what 47 before him failed to do, but he won't be successful. He will be number 48."


Pacquiao, on his part, noted that he is happy that he and Mayweather agreed to make fans happy.


"I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years. They have waited long enough and they deserve it," said Pacquiao in a statement.


"It is an honor to be part of this historic event. I dedicated this fight to all the fans who willed this fight to happen and, as always, to bring glory to the Philippines and my fellow Filipinos around the world," Pacquiao added.

Thousands of people filled the jampacked venue in Cebu and Davao, proving TV5's growing presence in Visayas and Mindanao.

Daniel Matsunaga's secrets uncovered

There is a new show that’s guaranteed to give you an exclusive peek into the private spaces of some of the country’s hottest hunks and uncover some of their secrets.

DJ Chacha and Daniel Matsunaga - Invasion of Privacy

Through ABS-CBNmobile’s new show on mobile called “Invasion of Privacy,” DJ Chacha, the host, will ask each featured hunk questions about love, relationships, sex, and intimate moments.

DJ Chacha is the humorous and witty DJ on MOR 101.9 known for her expression “mwahmwah-tsuptsup.” She dishes out advice to forlorn and troubled callers who want somebody to listen to them and make them laugh despite the weighty matters that preoccupy their minds and hearts.

But aside from having earned the reputation of a humorous love expert, her fans admire her for being sexy, smart, and, perhaps, even sultry.

That makes her perfect as the host of “Invasion of Privacy.” She barges in the private spaces of today’s hottest hunks, and asks them questions nobody dared to ask before. The curiosities in their cars or homes, what they prefer in a girl, and other intriguing bits of trivia are all fair game in this new show.

Daniel Matsunaga, “Pinoy Big Brother: All In” Big Winner, was the first to be interviewed recently. DJ Chacha invaded his black Mitsubishi Montero Sport and asked Daniel questions like, “With whom did you go in your last movie date?”, “Where do you like to kiss a girl?”,  “Are you a ‘boobs’ guy or a ‘butt’ guy?”

On February 21, another heartthrob, Robi Domingo, a VJ, actor, dancer, and host, will subject himself to DJ Chacha’s charm and curious questions.

All these fun and revealing interviews are only available on ABS-CBNmobile and iWant TV. Each “Invasion of Privacy” episode will be uploaded to iWant TV every Saturday at 9pm. Fans and admirers of these hunks can now look forward to this weekly treat.

Hugh Jackman Plays Villain Like No Other in Futuristic Action Thriller “Chappie”

Sony Pictures Releasing International Press Release

Taking on the role of the villain, Vincent Moore, in Columbia Pictures' new futuristic action thriller “Chappie” is Academy Award-winner Hugh Jackman.

In the near future, crime is patrolled by an oppressive mechanized police force. But now, the people are fighting back. When one police droid, Chappie, is stolen and given new programming, he becomes the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. As powerful, destructive forces start to see Chappie as a danger to mankind and order, they will stop at nothing to maintain the status quo and ensure that Chappie is the last of his kind.

As an engineer who is very opposed to the idea of artificial intelligence, Vincent takes the robot Chappie’s advancement personally, as producer Simon Kinberg explains. “Vincent is a twisted, militaristic, aggressive, insecure, brilliant scientist who believes the world needs this massive weapon he’s created,” Kinberg says. “He’s sacrificed everything for this program. He was a soldier, and to get what he wants, he takes some insane, extreme tactics. He’d light the city on fire to get what he wants.

I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun playing a character as Vincent Moore,” says Jackman. “He’s an Australian, so it was nice to use my own accent. The key to understanding Vincent is he will not lose. Even when the odds are against him, even when all the signs are pointing in another direction, that’s when he fights harder. He feels what he is doing is so important, that he can’t accept anybody else’s direction or even the fact that anyone else can win.

Because he rarely plays a villainous role, Jackman relished the opportunity to play a realistic villain with a justifiable point of view. “The best villains don’t think they’re villains,” he says. “He brings a genuine argument to the table, and he’s convinced that what he’s doing is right and necessary. What makes him a villain is his inability to lose. That trumps everything and he becomes very destructive, very angry and vengeful.”

Kinberg, also a producer of the recent “X-Men” films, has worked with Jackman on four films. “He has that movie star magnetism,” explains the producer. “He’s had it since that first X-Men movie, I’ve seen it on stage. In this movie, he obviously still has that, but it’s completely different, because he’s playing the villain. I think Hugh was excited to be playing an Australian – there’s a certain Australian archetype of the athletic bully, and he was definitely accessing that. This was a chance for him to play a whole different side of himself as a performer.




Hugh Jackman is an Academy Award® nominated, Golden Globe and Tony Award winning actor who has made an impression on audiences of all ages, proving that he is as successful on stage in front of live crowds as he is on a film set. From his award-winning turn on Broadway as the 1970’s singer/songwriter Peter Allen, to his metal claw-wielding Wolverine in the “X-Men” franchise, Jackman has proven to be one of the most versatile actors of our time.

The Australian native made his first major U.S. film appearance as Wolverine in the first installment of the “X-Men” series, a role he reprised in the enormously successful “X2” and “X-Men: The Last Stand” in 2006. In May of 2009, Jackman played Wolverine in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” which serves as a prequel to the popular series. This last July, 2013, audiences saw Jackman in the popular role once more in the next X-Men chapter, “The Wolverine.” Jackman reunited with the X-men team for “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” which was released last May.

Late in 2012, Jackman starred in the much-anticipated film adaptation of Les Misérables, directed by Tom Hooper (of “The King’s Speech”), based on the popular stage show originally created from Victor’s Hugo famous novel of the same name. The ambitious musical featured singing captured live on set (as opposed to pre-recorded in a studio), making it one of the first films ever to successfully attempt this method. Jackman’s standout performance as protagonist Jean Valjean earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical as well as Screen Actors Guild nominations for both Best Ensemble and Best Male Actor in a Leading Role. The film also garnered him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

Opening across the Philippines on March 05, “Chappie is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Smart and Sun Cellular Offer Affordable, High-Quality Google Android One Smartphones


After introducing free mobile internet access, leading telecommunications provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) is set to bring Google’s Android One smartphones to the country,  strengthening further its bid to get more and more Filipinos to experience and harness the benefits of the Internet by making available an array of cutting-edge, yet affordable mobile devices.

We believe the Internet should be experienced by as many users as possible, which is why we have launched digital inclusion initiatives like our FREE Internet offer that have encouraged more people to go online. This partnership with Google for Android One will surely accelerate our ‘Internet for All’ initiative that paves the way for more Filipinos to experience the best of the Internet using their mobile phones,” said Charles A. Lim, EVP and Wireless Consumer Division Head at Smart and Sun Cellular.

As the telecom operator to exclusively offer the first Android device in the Philippines back in 2009, Smart has always been at the forefront of this initiative, and we’re scaling it even further with our Android One offers,” Lim added.

Caesar Sengupta, Google Vice President of Product Management, said, “Data connections have been a serious barrier to getting the Internet into more people’s hands. We are thrilled about Smart's plan to reduce costs on app updates and downloads for people with Android One phones — a key step to making extraordinary smartphone technology more accessible and affordable.”

Attractive, affordable offers

Android One, Google's global initiative to bring high-quality smartphones to as many people as possible, aims bring affordable and high-quality smartphones to users in the Philippines through partnerships with phone manufacturers and telecom operators like Smart.

For its initial offering, Smart has partnered with Cherry Mobile and MyPhone to bring the Android One experience to both Smart and Sun subscribers nationwide, with attractive postpaid plans and prepaid SIM bundles that come packed with free mobile data for Google Play app downloads and the latest Android OS updates.

Smart and Sun brands will be offering the Cherry Mobile One phone through attractively priced postpaid plans, which will also include FREE data allowance for Android OS updates and Google Play downloads for the first six months of the subscription. This will allow subscribers to enjoy Google's app updates without the worry of additional data charges.

Smart Prepaid will also offer FREE data allowance for Android OS updates, Google Play downloads, and Google search for those who will purchase the MyPhone Uno phone in their retail outlets nationwide.

Every Android One phone sold in the Philippines will come with the latest Android “Lollipop” mobile operating system pre-installed, and will receive timely Android OS updates once Google releases them to users worldwide. Android “Lollipop” brings a suite of enhancements to Google’s mobile operating system, including a new design language called “Material Design,” notification improvements, a battery saver feature, and multiple-user capability that allows for separate user accounts for friends or family members, among many others.

Additionally, Android One phone users will be able to download paid apps on Google Play and make in-app purchases using their prepaid loads or charge it to their postpaid accounts. They would simply have to click “Enable Smart Communications billing” when they make a Google Play transaction so they can enjoy their favorite apps and games even without a credit card.

Digital inclusion

From the very beginning, Smart had the singular objective of bringing the mobile phone into the hands of each and every Filipino. That has been our dream from the start, and this year we’re partnering with Google to bring not just devices but also fast and reliable mobile Internet connection to more users across the country,” Lim added.

Known for its groundbreaking innovations in the telecoms industry, Smart has pioneered several digital inclusion efforts over the years that have sought to allow more users to connect and access information with the help of mobile technology.

Aside from offering the first Android phone in the country, Smart has also introduced the Smart Amazing Phone, one of the first smartphones launched in the world that allowed users to access the Internet and features that used to be only available through laptops and desktop computers. In 2011, Smart also unveiled the Netphone during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which debuted a line of Android-compliant, path-breaking smartphones designed for emerging markets. It is also the world’s first smartphone backed by an operator-managed platform.
