ABS-CBN, the Lone Media Company Awarded Philippines' Best by FinanceAsia

ABS-CBN Press Release

ABS-CBN Corporation, the country’s leading multimedia company, has been ranked the 3rd best mid-cap (middle capitalization) company in the Philippines in the latest survey of FinanceAsia, one of the most respected finance magazines in the region.  It is the only media company in this year’s list.
 
The rankings are part of the magazine’s “Asia’s Best Companies 2015” poll of over 250 portfolio managers and buy-side analysts in the region, or those who identify investment opportunities for Asia’s leading mutual funds, pension funds, trusts, and hedge funds.
 
ABS-CBN is the only entertainment and multimedia company included in the list for the mid-cap (middle capitalization) category.  Security Bank was ranked 3rd equal.
 
This recognition is a strong vote of confidence for ABS-CBN and a good indicator that we are on the right track," said ABS-CBN president and CEO Charo Santos-Concio. “We are indeed honored to be in this prestigious list of FinanceAsia.”
 
This is FinanceAsia’s 15th year to conduct this survey to find out which publicly listed companies investors consider to be the best-managed in Asia, who the best senior executives are, and which companies excel in corporate governance, investor relations, and other key metrics.
 
Chief Operating Officer Carlo Katigbak stated that the company is encouraged by this recognition and will continue to strive for innovation and excellence.
 
"We will continue to work hard to ensure that our strategies are attuned to technological trends and developments, and that our content remains relevant and sensitive to the needs of our various audiences. This is part of nation-building, of shaping our culture, to be ‘in the service of the Filipino’,” he said.
 
In 2014, ABS-CBN won a Gold Stevie Award in the “Company of the Year -- Media and Entertainment Company” category at the 11th International Business Awards, while Concio won a Gold Stevie Award in the “Female Executive of the Year in Asia, Australia, or New Zealand” category at the prestigious Stevie Awards for Women in Business.
 
ABS-CBN also bagged a Grand Stevie Award and the Gold Stevie Award in the “Services Company of the Year” category, while Concio also received the Gold Stevie Award for the “Woman of the Year” category for all Asia-Pacific nations (except Australia and South Korea) at the 2014 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.

Xian Lim reveals his relationship with Kim Chiu is a special one

Xian Lim reveals his relationship with Kim Chiu is a special one

Xian Lim and Kim Chiu may have not confirmed the real status of their relationship but their actions and feelings towards each other are mutual and fans could read it.

On his Instagram account, Xian wrote a message addressed to Kim who recently celebrated her 25th birthday on ASAP. In his post, the chinito actor looked back at the time he first met the chinita actress at the set to how their relationship blossomed into what he called a special relationship.

Xian wrote and we quote;

"Dearest Kim,

From our first time on screen together, and our first pic outside of work...So much has changed.

From being a stranger from all the way across the world, you became someone I can trust, someone who will be there by my side, fighting and conquering battles of everyday life.

From a small scene, to a song, then became a movie.

From a page, we became a chapter then a book. From 3 people holding a banner sa mga mallshows natin to supporters sa ibat ibang sulok ng mundo.

From strangers, we became family.

Sa mga nag babasa nito and you don't get what I'm trying to say, kindly leave my page. There is no room for negativity or any made up accounts taking up space in this post.

What we have is special. YOU are very special. HAPPY BIRTHDAY @chinitaprincess Kimberly Sue Yap Chiu

Always remember that if you need a shoulder to cry on, an open ear and a lending hand...I gotchiu"

That's just sweet. ♥

Your Face Sounds Familiar: Jolina as Manny Pacquiao gets standing ovation

Your Face Sounds Familiar April 19, 2015 episode: Manny Pacquiao was impersonated by Jolina Magdangal on ABS-CBN's 'Your Face Sounds Familiar', and she nailed it, that even Floyd Mayweather Jr would be very impressed if he can watch how Jolina amazingly transformed as Pacquiao, Floyd's opponent in the upcoming Mayweather vs Pacquiao Live May 2 fight.

No traces of Jolina were seen in her as she came out on stage last night as Manny Pacquiao to perform the latter's signature song 'Para
Sa 'Yo Ang Laban Na 'To'. She deservingly topped among the 8 celebrity
performers with 28 points (8 each from judges Sharon Cuneta and Jed
Manila, 6 from guest judge Boy Abunda, 6 from fellow performers) and
won the P100,000 cash prize for the week, already her 2nd time after
she took same during Week 3 when she impersonated Cher.
It amazes me how Your Face Sounds Familiar is bringing out the best,
the versatility in each of the 8 celebrity performers. I never thought
Jolina can be versatile and do something more than she used to show us
during the peak of her popularity in late 90's and early 2000s.
I consider her now as one of my favorites in Your Face Sounds
Familiar, along with Jay-R and Melai Cantiveros.
Next week, I know she'll deliver once again when she impersonates Jaya.
Also looking forward to performances of Jay-R as Beyoncé, Melai as
Rihanna, Edgar Allan "EA" Guzman as Ed Sheeran and Maxene Magalona as
no less than her late dad, Francis M.
Karla Estrada and Nyoy Volante one hand will do Dulce and Sylvia La
Torre respectively, while Tutti is gonna do 'Mambo No. 5' as he
impersonates Lou Bega.

Carla Humphries muling nagbabalik sa Kapamilya Network.

Taong 2010 ng lisanin nya ang ABS-CBN para makipagsapalaran sa Kapatid Network at sa pagiging kapatid nya marami syang nagawang proyekto sa nasabing istasyon.

Last year napasama sya sa hit teleserye The Legal Wife at mukhang tuloy na tuloy na ang pagbabalik Kapamilya nito.

Ngayong 2015 dalawang programa na kung saan may special participation si Carla Humphries una na dyan ang serye Pablo S. Gomez: Inday Bote at ang primetime series na Bridges of Love hudyat na nagbabalik Kapamilya Network na sya.

May bago na rin syang manager na kung saan si June Rufino ang namamahala ng kanyang career, at asahan na magiging visible na sya sa ABS-CBN.

Hindi naman big star na maituturing si Carla Humphries kaya tingin namin walang aasahan syang exclusive contract sa Kapamilya Network ang siste ay per project lang ang offer sa kanya.

Primetime Darama Series na "Once Upon a Kiss" magtatapos na sa Abril 24.

Ngayong linggo na magtatapos ang romantic drama series na Once Upon a Kiss na pinagbibidahan nila Miguel Tanfelix at Bianca Umali.

Nagsimula ang primetime series na Once Upon a Kiss noong Enero 5 at nakatakda itong magtapos ngayong Abril 24 sa makatuwid umabot ito ng tatlong buwan sa ere katumbas ng isang season.

Simula umere ang Once Upon a Kiss ay bigo nitong matalo ang katapat na programa na Forevermore na pinabibidahan naman nina Enrique Gil at Liza Soberano.

Sa pinakahuling datos na inilabas ng Kantar Media nakapagtala ang Once Upon a Kiss ng 17.6% laban sa 28.6% ng Forevermore.

Hawak parin ng ABS-CBN ang primetime dahil lahat ng programa nila ay wagi sa ratings samantala ang panghapon naman ay hawak ng GMA7 dahil kaabang-abang ang mga programa sa Afternoon Prime.

Iniintriga ngayon na FLOP diumano ang seryeng Once Upon a Kiss dahil hindi manlang daw ito nagrate at pinag-usapan sa social media kumpara sa katapat nito.

Abangan ang huling limang gabi ng Once Upon a Kiss gabi-gabipagkatapos ng Pari Koy at bago mag Second Chances sa GMA Telebabad.

Da WHO: Likas daw ang kalandian: Young Actress high school pa lang, paiba-iba na ang BF!

High school pa lang pala, malandi na talaga ang isang young actress na loveless na ngayon.

Imagine mismong mga schoolmate na niya ang nagkukuwento na girlfriend ng bayan sa kanilang eskuwelahan ang aktres ito na parang hindi mo aakalain na ganun pala.

Yup, you read it right. Natuhog daw yata ni young actress ang lahat ng boys sa higher level ng kanilang eskuwelahan.

Kaya naman nakatatak na sa schoolmates niya ang imahe ni young actress.

Kaya nga raw gulat na gulat silang mga kasama sa eskuwelahan na sumikat si actress at big time ang mga naging boyfriend samantalang high school pa lang, parang pinagpasa-pasahan na raw ng boys sa school nila.

Expected na nilang walang magtatagal na boyfriend itong si young actress na sikat dahil sa kakatihan nito.

Say pa ng mga schoolmate ni young actress, kahit daw bawal noon magsuot ng above the knee skirt at sleeveless kapag may mga event sa kanilang eskwelahan, hindi raw sumusunod itong si young actress. Wala raw paki kahit napapagalitan dahil nga may kalandian.

Common knowledge daw ito sa pinanggalingang eskuwelahan sa high school ni young actress kaya hindi siya makaka-deny sa mga nakakakilala sa kanya.
