TV5's Ang Panday starring Richard Gutierrez makes its debut on Philippine TV


TV5's own version of the late FPJ's original "Ang Panday" made its initial episode on primetime television this Monday, February 29, 2016. The series topbills Richard Gutierrez which incidentally marks his return after years of absence from doing primetime series on television.

Gutierrez admitted that playing “Ang Panday” is a “big shoe to fill.” He was referring to how the late Fernando Poe Jr., Philippine Cinema’s King of Action Films, popularized and elevated “Ang Panday” to iconic status in the 80’s.



Based from Carlo J. Caparas's original story, the series is being helmed by Mac Alejandre under Viva Entertainment.

The first TV version of the popular 70’s comic book novel by Carlo J. Caparas was produced 11 years ago by ABS-CBN starring Jericho Rosales as Flavio.

Triple 9 Movie Review: A Boring Stupid Ride



AUSSIE DIRECTOR John Hillcoat did a good job in “Lawless”, a film about an illegal moonshine business during the Prohibition Era starring Tom Hardy. So we’re expecting his new work, “Triple 9”, will similarly be fine. A movie about dirty cops, “Triple 9” is the code for “officer down”, meaning a policeman is hit so all other cops go to the area where the stricken cop is situated to rescue him.

The film starts with a bank robbery in Atlanta, Georgia by rogue cops. The leader is Chiwetel Ejiofor (“The Secret in their Eyes”, where he’s a good cop), a former special operations expert. With him are Anthony Mackie (Falcon in “Ironman”), Clifton Collins, Norman Reedus and Aaron Paul. The robbery sequence is shot beautifully, tense, specially the freeway shootout, and it makes you expect a riveting high stakes thriller. Alas, it’s quickly downhill from here.

The bad cops are not after the bank’s money but a safety deposit box ordered from them by Russian mob boss, Irina (Kate Winslet, who sports a Russian accent and an attitude). They succeed but she won’t pay them unless they do another job for her: a second heist involving the Homeland Security building. To pull this off, they plan to kill a cop to distract all other police officers so they can freely do the second heist.

Did Lolit Solis just confirm Mark Herras's video scandal from the past?

Did Lolit Solis just confirm Mark Herras's video scandal from the past?

A lot of video scandals from male celebrities have surfaced online for the past few weeks. There's Joross Gamboa, Kiko Estrada, Jordan Herrera, Andrew Wolfe, Jason Abalos, Michael Pangilinan, and a few more. It seems this has become a "trend" these days.

In an article written by Jun Nardo for Abante, actor Mark Herras told his manager Lolit Solis that his video scandal which surfaced in 2010 made its way again online due to "high demand" of video scandals from male celebrities.

Did Lolit Solis just confirm Mark Herras's video scandal from the past?

But Solis only advised his talent to release a follow-up of his video scandal.

"Sabi ko kay Mark, maglabas uli siya ng bagong sex video niya", said Solis.

Wait... did she just say uli? like again? Does it mean that Mark's video scandal from the past was real and that it did really happen? Recall that their camp had denied it during the height of the controversy.

So is it? Just asking...

Fearless Forecast As To Who Will Be The Winners In The Oscar Awards Sunday Night In The U.S./Monday Morning In Manila


THE OSCAR AWARDS night is being held in the U.S. Sunday night but Monday morning in the Philippines. Our guest is that it will be a big win for “The Revenant”, who’d bag the best picture, best director award for Argentinian director Alejandro Innaritu and the long overdue best actor award for Leonardo DiCaprio. Wouldn’t it be nice if Leo would win and Kate Winslet would also win as best supporting actress for “Steve Jobs”?

They were together in “Titanic” which got so many nominations, including best actress for Kate, but snobbed Leo who didn’t even get nominated at all. Kate is just so good as Michael Fassbender’s assistant in “Steve Jobs” that you will almost not recognize her, until you look closely and say, hey, yes, it’s her!

Teleserye And I Love You So magtatapos na ngayong Marso!

Mukhang hirap ibalik ng Kapamilya Gold ang dati nitong kinang dahil mas patok at inaabangan ang mga programa sa GMA Afternoon Prime.

Hanggang teaser lang pinag-usapan ang serye And I Love You So na pinagbibidahan nila Dimples Romana, Angel Aquino, Julia Barretto at Miles Ocampo.

Matatandaan na maraming memes at litanya ang kumalat sa social media gaya na lang ni Julia Barretto na umingay husto ang kanyang sinabi sa nasabing teleserye.

"Boba, Utak Biyak, Walang Utak"

Pagkatapos ng dalawang linggo simula umere ito noong Desyembre 7, wala na kaagad  ingay at hindi na gaano pinag-uusapan sa social media kumpara sa katapat nito na Destiny Rose na patuloy na umaariba sa ratings.

Tila apektado ang pagpapalabas nito sa telebisyon dahil nasapawan ang naturang serye ng mga kalahok na pelikula sa Metro Manila Film Festival, kung baga  bad timing at wala sa tamang panahon ang pagpapalabas nito.

Dagdag pa ang mga hit primetime teleserye Ang Probinsyano, Pangako Sa'Yo at On the Wings of Love ang syang napapag-usapan kaya wala gaanong nakukuhang suporta mula sa ABS-CBN ang ilang Kapamilya Gold shows.

Kaya nga ba nag desisyon ang Kapamilya Network na huwag na patagalin sa ere ang serye And I Love You So dahil hindi gaano nagrarate at napapag-usapan sa social media.

Hindi din kinikilig ang ilang viewers sa mga tambalang Miles at Inigo, Miles at Kenzo o di kaya Julia at Inigo mas kinilig pa nga noon at talagang pinag-usapan sa social media ang namuong tambalan sa bahay ni kuya na KeNLey na sina Kenzo at Bailey.

Maihahanay nga ba ang serye And I Love You So sa mga flop teleserye na maagang namaalam sa ere o masasabing nag hit parin ito dahil umabot ito ng tatlong buwan sa ere katumbas ng isang season.

Abangan ang nalalapit na pagtatapos ng teleserye And I Love You So pagkatapos ng Doble Kara at bago mag Tubig at Langis sa Kapamilya Gold.

Joy Movie Review: Jennifer Lawrence In Another Oscar-Nominated Performance Directed By David Russell

JENNIFER LAWRENCE, Bradley Cooper and Robert de Niro all got nominated for Oscars (Jennifer even won) when they first worked with Director David Russell in “Silver Linings Playbook”. Now, they’re all together again in “Joy”, based on the true story of Joy Mangano, a Long Island housewife who designed and hit it big in inventing the self-wringing Miracle Mop as advertised on Home Shopping TV in the 1990s. This time, it’s only who Jennifer who is nominated in the Oscars, and rightfully so, as she’s the only with a real arresting role in the movie.

Joy is a separated wife taking care of her two children, her useless mom (Virginia Madsen) who just watches soap operas in bed all day and her grandmother (Diane Ladd), who’s the narrator. She feels responsible for her entire family, including her estranged singer husband Tony (Edgar Ramirez) who still lives in her basement even if they’ve been divorced, and her own dad Rudy (de Niro), who’s also separated from her mom and has even found a new girlfriend (Isabella Rosellini, who looks like she has matured quickly, unlike her mom Ingrid Bergman).

Room Movie Review: A True Story That Is More Horrifying Than Horror Films Like 'Insidious' Or 'Sinister'

BRIE LARSON started her career on TV in 1998 when she was 9 years old in shows like “Touched by an Angel” and “Raising Dad”. Through the years she did several movies playing supporting roles, like “The Gambler” and “Trainwreck” (as Amy Schumer’s sister). Now, she is about to win the Oscar best actress award (she has just won the Golden Globe, the SAG and the BAFTA) for her breakout role in “Room”, based on the book by Emma Donoghue who also wrote the screenplay, based on the Elizabeth Fritzl kidnapping case in Austria where the girl was held captive for 24 years and had several kids, sired by her own father.

The film opens with a mother, Joy (Brie), and her 5-year old son Jack (Jacob Tremblay) playing, cooking, watching TV, doing normal things inside a small room with only a small window on its ceiling. Then the horror of it all slowly dawns on you. They’re actually prisoners inside that tiny room, a soundproofed shed. This review has some spoilers so if you don’t want to know what will happen, better stop reading now.
Joy was kidnapped by a pervert as a teenager, held captive inside the room, repeatedly raped until she got pregnant and gave birth to her own child. Whenever her abductor comes along to go to bed with her, the boy locks himself up inside the closet. Now that the boy is 5, Joy hatches a plan on how they can escape.

The Choice Movie Review - For Those Who Love Mushy Tearjerking Love Stories

NICHOLAS SPARKS is one prolific novelist who has become a brand name. “The Choice” is his 11th work to be turned into a movie. He’s the favorite punching bag of critics who usually tear his movies into shreds for being mushy, sudsy, manipulatively weepy, like his highly successful “The Notebook” in 2004, mostly set in his native North Carolina.

But obviously, despite all the critical bashing, they stll make money, so it’s not at all surprising that Hollywood makes a movie based on his works almost every year. And his fans don’t mind that his works follow a now familiar formula so they keep on going to the theaters to watch his movies.

KATRINA HALILI has played many villain roles before but she says her role as Jasmine, the nemesis of Ken Chan in “Destiny Rose”, is the one that has been getting the most intense feedbacks from viewers who express their hatred for her on social media.

“Naku, galit na galit talaga sila sa’kin,” she says. “Tinatawag akong bruha, maldita, ubod ng sama. Sabi nila, kung kaharap daw nila ako, titirisin nila ako. Puwes, lalo silang masusuklam sa akin dahil natuklasan ko na ang katotohanang si Destiny Rose pala, e walang ibang kundi ang dati ko nang inaaping baklang si Joey!”
After seeing the records of Destiny Rose at the clinic of the doctor who did the sex change operation on her, Katrina goes straight to the home of Fabio Ide as Gabriele to inform him about it, but Melissa Mendez as Yvonne, Fabio’s mom, drove her away and won’t listen to her as she is known for being a liar.

Morning show ni Kris Aquino na Kris TV magpapaalam na sa ere.

Dalawang linggo nanahimik ang Queen of All Media na si Kris Aquino sa kanyang instagram account dahil diumano sa kinakaharap nyang problema sa trabaho.

Nagsimula noong June 27, 2011 ang morning show na Kris TV at sa mahigit apat na taon nito sa ere ay nakatakda na itong magpaalam sa ere.

Noong lunes ay binasag na nya ang katahimikan dahil ang tinutukoy nyang "Professional Issue" kinakaharap nya ay ang programa nya sa ABS-CBN na Kris TV.

Mukhang nasaktan ng todo ang tv host na mawala ang kanyang programa sa ere ano pa't umabot ito ng mahigit apat na taon.


Sa aming nakuhang impormasyon tuluyan ng magrereformat ang kanyang morning show at may bagong host na makakasama ang Queen of All Media na si Kris Aquino.

Pero tila hindi pa nareresolba ang isyung ito may malaking pagbabago nga ba na magaganap sa Kris TV o tuluyan na itong papalitan dahil balitang si Anthony "Ka Tunying" Taberna ang makakasama nya sa bagong nilulutong morning show.

Sa kanyang artikulo na nailathala sa kanyang blog nagpaliwanag si Kris tungkol dito.

“I purposely stayed away from social media (and yes, Kris TV went on Best Of for 8 episodes) because there were professional issues we needed to resolve, and Thank You, Lord—natuto na ko that by being outspoken and sharing details with all of you, mas hahaba ang proseso at mas malabong maayos sa mahinahon at mature na paraan.

 “That doesn’t mean that you are unimportant to me. The truth is I would never have become me had you not given me consistent support.

“BUT life has taught me that I should share with you my work, the process that goes hand in hand with my work, the ‘paying it forward’ aspect of sharing my blessings, and certain snippets of our family life that will hopefully inspire you.

“The rest of my life, I owe to my siblings and sons to keep among us. Alam nyo na pinaka sensitive ako when it comes to my family, somehow pag silang tinira, no matter how much I want to ignore the bashers and haters, the part of me that needs to stand up and defend my loved ones is unleashed, and bahala na si Batman, lalaban ako.

“This time was different, I knew that by containing the situation—there was a very big chance that I would have a much stronger opportunity of fixing everything where everybody would feel blessed, and there won’t be anything that I would need to later on clean up.

“My cue came from one of Boy Abunda’s favorite sayings, ‘Pag emosyonal at hindi muna magsasalita, mas kaunti ang kakailanging walisin at bawiin kapag bumalik na sa normal ang sitwasyon.

“Guess what, the girl who relished living 30 years of her life in the public eye actually felt peaceful keeping to herself.

 “I mostly stayed home, except for going to Church to pray in total surrender and to give my thanksgiving. I was sick for 3 days with fever and then I had a bout of hypertension (158/105) from all my stress.

 “This compelled me to stay in bed, eat very healthy, decompress, and sleep.”

Court issues warrant of arrest against Neri Naig and road manager

Courrt issues warrant of arrest against Neri Naig and road manager

Television actress Neri Naig-Miranda and an executive of ABS-CBN’s Star Magic are facing arrest for posting allegedly malicious statement in their Instagram accounts last year.

Regional Trial Court Judge Ricky Jones Macabaya issued the arrest warrant for Miranda and Star Magic road manager Danilyn Nunga relative to the libel case they are facing before his sala.

The warrant was issued after Macabaya denied the motion filed by the accused, who sought to defer proceedings and to order the re-investigation of the case.

“The grounds asserted by Nunga that she was deprived of due process for they were not afforded a preliminary investigation or not given the opportunity to submit a counter affidavit deserves a scant consideration,” read Macabaya's two-page order.

The Office of the Cebu City Prosecutor indicted Miranda and Nunga for libel in relation to Republic Act 10175, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

Assistant City Prosecutor Ruso Zaragoza filed the case in court last October 28 after the respondents failed to submit their counter affidavits, which would have allowed them to dispute the charges leveled against them. A bail of P10,000 each was recommended for the temporary freedom of the accused.

Defense lawyer Rex Atabay Tadena asked Macabaya to defer the proceedings and to order the re-investigation of the case.

In the pleading, Tadena argued that Miranda and Nunga were not given due process during the preliminary investigation.

Prosecution lawyer Jan Michael Cagulada opposed to the defense's motion, arguing that the accused were not deprived of due process since they were subpoenaed to answer the charges during preliminary investigation.

Should the accused intend to present evidence, Cagulada said they should do it during the trial proper and not in another preliminary investigation.

In the order, Judge Macabaya denied for lack of merit the defense's motion to the proceedings and to order the re-investigation of the case.

The state prosecutors conducted a preliminary investigation and the accused were subpoenaed.

“The failure of the accused to submit their counter-affidavits is construed by the court as waiver of their right to file the same,” said Macabaya in his order.

Although state prosecutors revolved the complaint without the counter affidavits of the accused, the same does not render the preliminary investigation irregular since the rules on criminal procedure allow prosecutor to resolve the case based on evidence presented.

The complainant, Clarence Taguiam, accused the respondents of libel for posting in their Instagram accounts a photo of him and that of his friends, Donna Marie Go.

In the post, Nunga labeled Taguiam and Go as “bogus and fictitious” sellers of a Go Pro Hero3 Action Camera last April 30, 2015.

On her Instagram, Nunga claimed she paid P7,500 for the camera she reportedly bought from Taguiam and Go, but she did not get the item. Miranda re-posted Nunga’s photo and remark in her Instagram account.

But Taguiam denied selling any camera to Nunga, saying he was with his father in China on a business trip on April 30.

In the resolution, Prosecutor Zaragosa said the respondents’ remark, though not vulgar, insinuates estafa, scam or fraudulent transactions by Taguiam and Go.

Since the respondents failed to answer the charges, Zaragosa said it was presumed that they have malice in posting the messages

Regine Velasquez On Angeline Quinto: 'Kayang-Kaya Niya Akong Ilampaso. Buti Na Lang, Nahihiya Siya.'

ANGELINE QUINTO cried anew at the “Royals” presscon. No, it’s not because of Erik Santos but because Regine Velasquez praised her and Erik to high heavens. “Sa rehearsal pa lang, they met all our expectations ni Martin sa kanila,” says Regine. “Kaya lang, di namin maintindihan, hanggang ngayon, parang nahihiya pa rin sila sa amin.”

Is it true she’s intimidated by Regine? “Hindi naman mawawala yun. Siempre, someone na iniidolo mo ever since, never kong pinangarap na makakasama ko, ngayon, makakasama ko pa on stage for the first big Valentine concert na kasama ako. Sobrang overwhelmed talaga ako sa blessing na ito,” and here’s where she starts to shed tears.

Jiro Manio So Lucky Caring Colleagues Help Him Like Ai Ai De Las Alas, Lorna Tolentino & Heart Evangelista

JIRO MANIO is so fortunate as so many celebrities are helping him in his desire to have a new start in his life and career. First and foremost is Ai Ai de las Alas who spent for and supervised his rehab, then got him his own place after he was released from the clinic. Then there’s Lorna Tolentino (who played Jiro’s mom in “Magnifico”) and Heart Evangelista (who was Jiro’s sister in “Tanging Ina”.) Both of them also help him financially while he’s not working yet.

It’s now up to him if he’d really go straight. He should remember that he has two children with his ex-wife and as their father, it is his responsibility to provide for them. With all the help he’s getting from his caring and concerned colleagues in showbiz, he should try his best not be seduced anew by the dark side.

Ai-Ai delas Alas may malaking pasabog laban kay Maine Mendoza?

Kung totoo ang nakarating sa amin, Ai-Ai delas Alas should rethink her plan of dropping the bomb on Maine Mendoza. At ano naman ang ibubunyag daw ni Ai-Ai delas Alas?

Her disgusting experience with Maine while doing their MMFF enty last year. Without getting into the details, ikinainis daw ni Ai-Ai ang nag-uum-attitude na si Maine Mendoza with her prima donna ways.

Pero ang pagka-bad trip daw na ‘yon ni Ai Ai towards a co-worker ay kinimkim lang niya for the sake of the movie. Pero ngayong naipalabas na ito’t lahat, Ai Ai’s outburst is irrepressible.


Kung tutuusin, may katwiran si Ai Ai na almahan ang ganu’ng work ethic o work attitude ng sinumang nakakatrabaho niya lalo’t the one who displays it is a virtual newbie in the business.

Respeto na lang ‘yon sa parte ni Maine sa kanyang mga co-workers who came way before her, and more importantly, respect for her craft. 

But Ai Ai’s expose might be ill-timed. Bukod sa inaasahan nang pamba-bash sa kanya ng mga fans ni Maine, her pronouncements—kung itutuloy nga niya ito—wouldn’t be a good segue from a recent positive publicity stunt tungkol sa tagumpay niyang maipa-rehab si Jiro Manio for the latter to get a life anew.

Yaman din lang that Ai Ai seems to be an effective “tour guide” sa mga naliligaw ng landas for the lost to embark on life’s new destinations, she might as well “confine” Maine to some facility to address the girl’s attitude problem. Saang lupalop kaya meron nito?
