CENTERSTAGE: Hello Stranger

By: Trixie Dauz on June 27, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , , ,

 
Tony Labusca and JC Alcantara



 Hello Stranger! ay isang Pinoy BL series produced by ABS-CBN Films and Black Sheep Productions. Bida sina Tony Labrusca as Xavier, a varsity player who often fails his classes, at si JC Alcantara as Mico, member ng Team Padawans, at isang top student. The first episode is titled 'Hello Enemy!'.

Ang context ng filming ay interesting  because it is obvious that this was done even before nagshift sa GCQ ang bansa  since all of the cast members' scenes were done in their respective rooms. Hopefully, since pwede na ulit magshooting, we will be able to see scenes in outside places like coffee shops, since that is where students hang out.

Tony and C brings kilig to BL serye viewers
My first impression of Tony as Xav is that though he has the usual pride of a varsity player, he can be sweet like the type who cooks for his partner. JC as Mico is the type of person who is an open book, his nervousness, his awkwardness, it is all obvious on his face.

 Aside from the two main guys, we have thr Team Padawans comprised of Vivoreei Esclito as Kookai, Patrick Quiroz as Seph, and Miguel Almendras as Junjun. Xavier currently has a girlfriend named Crystal, played by Gillian Villavicencio.

A new Pinoy BL Loveteam
Episode 1 is how Xavier and Mico meet each other and size each other up. The scenes that stood out for me are as follows:

 1. When Xav enters the virtual room of the Team Padawans having a quiz night and calls it baduy, giving that douche vibe instantly.

 2. Meann Espinosa as Panitikan 1 teacher Kristine Moran convincing Mico to team up with Xavier. Her voice sounds like Ruffa Gutierrez so before her face is even 

shown onscreen, people who watched her past shows would be able to recognize her.

 3. Xavier eating a huge bowl of tinola by himself. Yep, it is so huge that I think it can feed up to five people.
Kilig much ang tambalan ng dalawa online

4. Mico saying I need you and it is just episode 1.

 The first episode ends in a cute cliffhanger as Xavier asks Mico an intriguing question.

 What think that could be improved is the acting of Patrick Quiroz since it feels as if he is just in a first time cast reading. The chemistry of the whole Team Padawans also need to improve as well as the world-


building of Hello Stranger, since the logic is still not 100% convincing as to why freshie and a senior student would have to work in the same subject as well as why Mico is not aware that he is a top student in the first place.

 Since this is marketed as BL and it has international fans, I think the reach of the show is big because of the good decision to have English subtitles available right away.

The show is available via the youtube channel of Black Sheep as well as the iWant app.

CENTERSTAGE: Miss Philippines-Earth 2020, tuloy na tuloy

By: Bobby Requintina on April 29, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , , ,

Miss Philippines-Earth Janelle Lazo Te




Walang mga pageant fans na maghihiyawan at walang bonggang stage!

 Ito ang magiging scenario sa pagtatanghal ng grand coronation ng Miss Philippines-Earth 2020 beauty pageant sa kanilang virtual reality show na tentative na gagawin sa May 24.

 Ibig sabihin ay mapapanood lamang ang finals ng Miss Philippines-Earth 2020 sa social media platform ng MPE pero ipapalabas din ito sa ABS-CBN.

 "We are now preparing for a virtual presentation of MPE 2020 that will be aired on ABS CBN and in our social media account. Our tentative date is May 24, 2020," ayon kay Lorraine Schuck, Executive Vice President ng Carousel Productions, organizer ng taunang Miss Philippines-Earth at Miss Earth contests.

Kung matutuloy, ito ang kauna-unahang national beauty contest na gagawing virtual reality na ayon na rin sa pagtupad sa mga rules and regulations para maiwasan ang paglaganap ng COVID-19 virus.

 Sinabi rin ni Schuck na ihahayag daw nila ang iba pang details ng show para sa grand finals sa mga darating na araw.

 Inamin ni Schuck na talagang naapektuhan ang preparation nila para sa Miss Philippines-Earth 2020. December 2019 pa lamang ay nag-announce na kaagad ang MPE na tumatanggap na sila ng mga applicants para sa official candidates ng naturang beauty pageant.
"COVID19 prevented our preparations for below the line events and a pageantry, an elaborate presentation for the coronation night the normal way, but it did not stop Miss Earth from promoting its main cause — awareness on environmental issues," sinabi ni Schuck.

Naniniwala rin ang MPE official na mukhang tatagal pa ang COVID-19 krisis hanggang sa 2021 kaya may possibility na maging virtual reality pa rin ang mga susunod nilang pageant.

 Ang mananalo sa Miss Philippines-Earth 2020 ay magiging representative ng Pilipinas sa Miss Earth contest. Ang TV host na si Janelle Lazo Tee ang reigning Miss Philippines-Earth.

 Pero sabi ni Schuck na hindi pa raw nila napapag-usapan ang tungkol sa Miss Earth pageant.

 Kahit nagkaroon ng health crisis, never raw inisip ni Schuck na ihinto ang Miss Philippines-Earth pageant ngayong 2020.

Nagpapasalamat siya sa mga media na patuloy na tumatangkilik sa Miss Philippines-Earth pageant na ngayon ay 20 years old na.

 Para makatulong sa krisis, nagsagawa ng health forum ang Miss Philippines-Earth para maging aware ang mga tao sa environmental issues na related sa pagsugpo ng coronavirus.

Yes, we need to brace ourselves now that the enhanced community quarantine has another extension. How we deal with this reality, it is up to all of us to make the most of it.

And how do we begin to embrace this new phase, by making it trend in Twitter with a dramatic hash tag, #ECQ Season 3, yes we are one in enduring and surviving this turn out.

Kaya nga nakakatuwang malaman na sa darating na Linggo, isang natatanging documentary film for television ang ipapalabas sa ABS CBN kung saan hindi lamang bibigyang mukha at tinig, kundi mapapanood natin ang mga natatatanging kwento ng sakripisyo ng ating COVID-19 frontlines.

Our Frontliners
Paano nga ba lumaban sa giyera nang hindi mo nakikita ang kalaban? Ano ang mga hirap na dinaranas ng mga nasa gitna ng panganib? Ilan ito sa mga nagbabagang katanungan na bibigyang diin at kasagutan sagot ng napapanahong dokumentaryo mula sa ABS-CBN DocuCentral, ang  “Heroes in the Hot Zone,” na ipapalabas sa Kapamilya Network ngayong Linggo (Abril 26) ng 9 pm.


Sa dokumentaryo, si Ginoong Raphael Bosano ang magbabahagi kung gaano katindi ang epekto sa buhay nating lahat ang COVID-19 virus at tatlong doktor ang ang magkwekwento ng kanilang mga karanasan.

Ang unang doctor, dadalhin tayo sa triage tent kung saan gingawa ang COVID-19 testing, hanggang sa kaguluhan sa emergency room, at nakapangingilabot na katahimikan sa mga kwarto kung saan mag-isang nilalabanan ng mga pasyente ang sakit.

Makikilala rin sa dokyu ang isang magiting na doktor na pumanaw dahil sa coronavirus, matapos niyang isakripisyo ang kanyang oras para sa pamilya at kalusugan para magbigay serbisyo sa mga Pilipino. 

Ang panghuli, ang isang doktor na gumaling mula sa sakit para mas maintindihan pa ng mga manonood ang sakit na COVID-19 at kung paano niya ito natalo.

Dahil sa COVID-19, hindi maiiwasang isipin na tila nasa gitna ng digmaan ang buong mundo ngayon kung saan mga health worker ang nagsisilbing mga sundalo na taga-depensa ng tao sa kalaban. Sa bawat sabak nila sa panggagamot ay nalalagay din sa alanganin ang kanilang buhay, ngunit pinipili nilang lumaban para mas marami pang buhay ang mailigtas.

A doctor and survivor of the deadly COVID-19 tells his story
Ayon sa tala ng Department of Health (DOH), umabot na sa 700 na health workers ang nagkasakit dahil sa coronavirus. Ang masaklap pa rito, kasama sa mga namamatay ang mismong mga doktor at nars na nangangalaga sana sa may sakit.

Tiyak na inspirasyon at pag-asa ang ating makukuha sa Heroes in The Hot Zone kaya huwag kaligtaang panoorin ang espesyal na dokumentaryo tungkol sa COVID-19 pandemic at bayani nating frontliners ngayong Linggo, 9pm sa ABS-CBN at iWant.


CENTERSTAGE: Kim and his "Zero"

By: Trixie Dauz on April 09, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , ,


Kim of the  Rider Inc. Pinas






 Araw-araw ay laman ng balita ang pandemic na ito at even though about 3 weeks mahigit pa lang ang enhanced community quarantine ay malaki ang naging impact nito sa life ng lahat.

 Ang "Zero" ay creation as well as pinroduce ng R.I.P. o Rider Inc. Pinas na ang official description ay "virtual band that exists in a virtual universe." Mostly rock, dance, hip-hop, and tribal music ang genres na balak nila i-fuse together. Bago lang ang music producer na ito officially although the main brain behind this na pamysterious ay may decades of experience as a singer-co poser.

 Umpisa pa lang ay mapapaisip ka kung bigla bang lilitaw si Camila Cabello sa very Latin intro nito na segue sa Gloc-9 vibes ng featured rapper na si Kim. Namention ko si Gloc-9 kasi social realism ang theme ng lyrics at first person storytelling ng isang kahig isang tuka ng taong tinamaan ng COVID-19.

 Clear ang pagkakaenunciate ng lyrics bagaman mabilis ito dahil rap nga subalit possible makaencounter ng difficulty learning the rap stanzas nang mabilis kasi although moderate ang bilis nito hindi common ang phrasing ng lyrics.

 Kung gaano kachallenging ang rap parts ay siya namang idinali ng chorus nito pati bridge part na kinanta ng isa sa mga taga-R.I.P. Ito yung type of song na isang pasada lang eh 90% na makabisado mo talaga yung chorus kasi nakaka-LSS talaga. Marami ding ways para i-iinterpret ang ang chorus kumpara sa rap parts na diretsahan ang mensahe.

 Kaliwa kung kanan
Ikot sa upuan
Aatras abante
Walang makapagsabe
Kung saan, kailan, ano ang dahilan
Basta't OK lang yan...

 Yung "kaliwa kung kanan" ay pwedeng mainterpret sa hindi basta pagiging basta blind followers ng ilan and pagiging aware na may dapat mabago sa system para hindi maging chaotic ang kapaligiran. Pwede rin itong mainterpret as an analysis kung paano nag-iiba ang instructions ng pangulo in connection with the enhanced community quarantine pagdating na sa local government units o LGUs.

Kim's Zero will be available in Spotify soon
Yung second to third lines eh maiaapply mo sa lahat dahil kahit superpowers na China at US ay mistulang nawalang ng compass at hard hit ang economy. Ang fourth and fifth lines ay siyempre ang COVID-19 na hanggang ngayon ay walang known cure at even though evidence points strongly to Wuhan na origin daw ay hindi mo rin masabi na 100% ay dun galing.

 Napakaimportante ng final line kasi it is very hopeful. Even the tone and the way ng ng pag-sing ng chorus ay gentle and soothing lalo na bridge part. After the final rap part it's as if the song ay nag-ibang anyo tho andun pa rin ang Latin feels.

 Kung ang rap parts ay inaarmalite ka ng problems nung narrator, ang chorus ay dinadala ka sa isang lugar na punung-puno ng pag-asa. Magandang choice ang Latin touch kasi closely related ang Latin America at Spain. Ang Spanish flu ang deadliest pandemic in history at over 50M ang namatay because of this.

 Basta't okay lang yan. Ito ang main mensahe ng song na magandang i-carry natin within ourselves as we heal as one.

 Mapapakinggan ang "Zero" na second song sa debut album ng Rider Inc. Pinas featuring the rapper Kim sa kanilang YouTube channel na "Rider PH Studios". Lalabas din ito sa Spotify within April.

CENTERSTAGE: : Ianna Dela Torre, ang bagong halimaw

By: Marco Polo Demo on March 07, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , , ,

 Ianna Dela Torre




Young, talented, and pretty, this promising vocalist, Ianna Dela Torre just recently launched her 11-track album under Star Music with the title “Ianna.” She made a performance at the beginning of the press conference that wowed everyone. If you’ve heard her sing siguro maihahambing mo siya sa one of the biritira singer that you know. Yes, yong “halimaw umawit.” Yon ang range ng voice ni Ianna at take note puno ng emosyon at sobrang lalim ng pinaghuhugutan.

This 17-year-old singer already wowed a lot of professional singers nung sumali sya sa isang World class singing competition na World Championship of Performing Arts o WCOPA, noong 2013, na kung saan she bagged the Junior Grand Champion performer and Champion Vocalist of the World honors. At take note she’s around 12 years old pa noon. Nagtataka nga ang lahat dahil hindi alam kung saan humuhugot ng emosyon si Ianna. Hindi naman broken-hearted at masaya naman ang pamilya.


On stage, kakainin ka nianna ng buhay
Ang kanyang carrier single sa album na ito ay “Wala Kang Kapalit,” na tungkol sa walang hanggang pag-ibig sa isang tao na kahit natapos na relasyon. Isang emosyon na hindi mo malaman kung saan nya kinukuha para maibigay ito sa kanta. O dahil sa paghanga nya kay Daniel Padilla na alam nyang di pwedeng mangyari?

Kung saan man nya kinukuha ang emosyon ang mahalaga ay nakakahalina ang kanyang boses at mga awitin.

CENTERSTAGE: "I don't really enjoy listening to my own songs"-JK Labajo

By: Bobby Requintina on March 04, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , ,






Kilala si Juan Karlos Labajo bilang composer ng "Buwan," ang No. 1 OPM song para sa 2019.

Pero believe it or not, JK has already deleted the song "Buwan" on his playlist of favorite songs on Spotify.

"I don't really enjoy listening to my own songs. I played 'Buwan' only once in Spotify. Just to get the feel of my song on Spotify. But to listen to it everytime, no! After that, ayoko na. It's like watching yourself in a teleserye. Eeeewwww. I don't want to see myself acting on television."

JK made the revelations when he was launched as the latest celebrity endorser for David's Salon in Makati City recently.
Nang tanunging kung pressured ba siya na malampasan ang kasikatan ng kantang "Buwan," sabi ni JK: "The dilemma is people expect you to write another hit song. But I don't want to be known as a one-hit-wonder artist. If I write a song and it becomes a hit, then good. If not, OK lang. We'll see."

Pinasok na rin ni JK ang acting. Pero mas gugustuhin daw niya ang mag-concentrate sa music. "Ang hirap pagsabayin ang acting at music. I need to focus on one for quality. Parang walang sense na sumali ako sa music competition (The Voice) then acting. So for now it's music."

JK is preparing to launch his debut album soon. "This is just an experimental album. Kami-kami lang gumawa. All original songs."

In showbiz, JK considers actors Iza Calzado and Ian Veneracion as some of his close friends. "I go out with seniors pa rin hahaha."

Kahit sobrang sikat ng kanyang awiting "Buwan," naniniwala si JK na hindi pa handa ang kanyang band para sa isang major concert.

"I don't want to force anything. I want everything to go well as planned. I still want to have at least two albums and two successful albums. Kasi I just have one successful song. That's not enough for me."
