Remake Runs the Primetime ABSCBN Programming

The ABSCBN primetime programming today is flooded by remakes from local and international drama series. In some research data analysis, they assured that ABSCBN primetime programming rules the rating system. Most of the viewers are indeed attached to their shows. Other local station may perform well in ratings game, but most of ABSCBN shows consistently positioned at the top slot.

Talking about the remake, let us talk about the drama series recreated for the present viewers. These are the dramas much likely previously aired for years now and presented for the current Filipino audiences. 

Synopsis:

Mara and Clara were switched at birth in the nursery, and the details of this event were recorded by Karlo, a hospital staffer and Clara's real uncle, in his diary; only Karlo and Gary know the truth. Mara lived as the poor daughter of the couple Susan and Gary David. Clara, the David's real daughter, was brought up by the rich couple, Amante and Alvira del Valle. Mara grew up to be a simple, intelligent, kind, pretty and good-natured girl despite being brought up by a poor family. Clara who was brought up by a rich family grew up to be a spoiled brat, mean but intelligent, and a girl who will do anything to be number one. Mara and Clara's fight started when Clara thought Mara was taking her spotlight but they eventually became friends. Their problems in life tried their friendship and it broke. Clara became angrier when she and Mara were unwillingly switched to their real families. A strategy tried Mara and Clara and their people around them, That Mara died but it's not true. And it was Lenita. And then, Mara and Susan tried to go away with them. While Garykeeps doing evil plans and Clara lives in the del Valle's. Will Clara stay in the del Valle's? Will Mara have a good life with Susan forever? Will they will ever met again? Will Mara and Clara become true friends again?

Mara Clara is a 90’s popular drama hit in the television starring Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes. However, with 2010 version it has starred the newest drama gems of ABCBN; Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes. The show's highest ratings were 39.7% and the lowest is 25.9% based on TNS ratings. Moreover, up to now, it is one of the station’s top rater in primetime slot. In addition, as a price of being popular, these lead teen stars are now enjoying various applauds from different critics and viewers. 

Plot:

Jerome (Jericho Rosales) starts working in his dream company as cargo shipper for SR Corporation and here he met a second encounter with Angela (Anne Curtis). The two fell in love while spending a night in the woods after the vehicle broke down for a shipping assignment. Upon knowing of the relationship, the president of the corporation and father of Angela, wants to end their love. Given the circumstances, Jerome is framed for the attempted murder of his girlfriend's father, flees and returns a different person longing to unravel the truth and exact revenge.

Green Rose is a remake of the 2005 Korean drama; Green Rose produced by SBS and was distributed in the Philippines by ABS-CBN. The remake stars Jericho Rosales as Jerome Delgado, Anne Curtis as Angela Tuazon, Jake Cuenca as Edward Fuentebuella and Alessandra de Rossi as Geena Rallos. The reunion series of Echo and Anne get me hocked to the TV screen and adding up the gorgeous naturally built body of Jake and charming Alexandra is just so perfect. I am so addicted to this show now. 

Story:

Via (Claudine Barretto), the only daughter of Don Fernando (Juan Rodrigo), was raised as his darling princess. On her eighteenth birthday, she found out that her father has promised her hand in marriage to her childhood friend, Michael (Diether Ocampo), and before the birthday party was over, she was kidnapped. She was rescued by a good Samaritan named Gabriel (Rico Yan), whom she fell in love with. Michael, at the latter part of the story, became romantically involved with Via's best friend, Trina (Rica Peralejo). As the story unfolds, Via ended up having to decide between the two men in her life, while learning more about her mother Magda (Jaclyn Jose) and fighting off her evil aunt Selina (Princess Punzalan).

In the story, Selina was one of the most influential characters, due to her desire to acquire the power and wealth of Don Fernando (Juan Rodrigo), her brother. She possesses intelligence in illegal tactics that made her stronger and she used people in order to manipulate them when a bombing in the departure of Via and her family to start a new life began. Via lived a new identity but came back to her family, and they all faced Selina one last time in dignity and Via restored peace in her family.

Mula Sa Puso is a Philippine remake of the original 1997 TV series that starred Claudine Barretto and the late Rico Yan airing on ABS-CBN. Two years after the series had its finale in 1999, it was adapted into a film where the whole cast reprised their roles. On March 2011, ABS-CBN announced that they had decided to remake the television series after the success of Mara Clara. The remake will star Lauren Young as Via, JM De Guzman as Gabriel, and Enrique Gil as Michael. Ariel Rivera and Eula Valdez, who were both part of the 1997 series and the 1999 film, are set to join the cast playing different roles this time. Wenn V. Deramas who directed the 1997 series and the 1999 film is also set to direct the remake. This is one of my favorite telenovela in the 90’s and the 2011 remake never disappointed me. Its so refreshing to watch Dawn Zulueta and Eula Valdez justified the role of antagonist Selina. By the way, is Eagle Rigs for good now on ABSCBN?

Upcoming on Primetime Series…

My Adam Levine Look

After three months, my hair had its renewed make over. It means, after of dozens of stresses, work loads, paper works, etc., I had a make over. I had a massage from a nice friend, I had hair cut and along with my sister-friends we had a bottomless food trip. We promised that after all the deadlines, thesis and school works we will go to Quaipo. We just did. 

During those days when we are haggard and stress, we tend to buy and eat everything that caught our attention (FOOD ONLY). We tagged ourselves as stress eaters. DISCLAIMER: Food Eaters eats EVERY FOOD THAT CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION, REGARDLESS OF THE PRICE. Thank God I have rich and fabulous friends. 

Here is my Adam Levine look. I asked the hair cutter to follow Maroon 5's front man's haircut but he seems to get overwhelmed and removed all my hair. :D

viaje a quaipo

Quiapo is a district and city square of Manila. Referred as the "Old Downtown", Quiapo in known for where cheap buys or goods are being sold at rock-bottom prices and was the home of the Quiapo Church, where the feast for the Black Nazarene is held, with over millions of people attending annually. 

I was originally born in Manila and spent my infant hood ( o d ba infant hood - meaning 1-4) in V.Mapa cor. Sta. Mesa. I really remember almost everything when I was young as early as that age. My mama and I always attend sunday's mass at Quaipo Church where we always have to drop by on the replica of the Black Nazarene. Luckily, I was able to touch it as early as I was, and mama taught me about God. It was I guess 1994 when we moved to Makati and lived here or good .. and the rest are history !

During those early years, Quiapo - Manila as a whole was a very dirty place (my judgement). So many vendors and garbage are scattered around. Almost a decade has passed, Quaipo - Manila was still a busy place. Vendors, Religious  Supporters, Rich, Poor, Beggars and even animals are around the place. But a more neater and cleaner Quaipo - Manila ! Particularly, the under ground tunnel going to the church is now cleaner than it was before.

On the height of the campaign of the church to protest about the RH Bill, this scene pictured out in my eyes. A billboard of a condom was hanging around the church. 

Quaipo is still a religious concrete structure for Filipino Catholic believers. I am not familiar of the history of the Quaipo church but one thing is for sure. Filipino is a religious people and it is already marked in our blood.   Feast of the Black Nazarene is celebrated every January 9, and recognize as one of the country's most attended feast.

Quaipo is 45- 1 hour away from Makati. If you are coming from my place (Pembo, Makati) you need to ride a Jeepney from C5-Blueboz to Guadualupe. And from Guadalupe you need to ride another Jeepney routed to TAFT-HERRAN. Just tell the Manong Driver that you are going to Taft Herran before you will be lost to somewhere else. From Taft, a jeep is waiting for you going to Quaipo. Lastly, you need to find the tunnel going to the Quiapo Church. I wont tell you..you find it !

Music Video Review: Britney Spears' Till The World Ends.

Britney Spears released her new music video on March 4, 2011 and been hitting local and international charts. The song is her second single for her seventh studio albumFemme Fatale. Till the World Ends was written by Dr. Luke,Alexander Kronlund, Max Martin and Kesha and produced Luke, Max Martin and Billboard. The song was leaked on March 3, 2011, and was released for digital download the following day. The song has uptempo dance-pop andelectropop song with a chant-like chorus, where Spears sings about dancing until the end of the world. The music video shows an underground dance party of Britney Spears set on December 21, 2012. The video was filmed inside a basement in Los Angeles, California. 

The Music Video of 'Till the World Ends' was directed by Ray Kay and choreographed by Brian Friedman. Ray Kay has also directed various videos of popular artist including, Lady GaGa's Pokerface, Willow Smith's Whip My Hair, Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber's Eenie Meenie, Justin Bieber's Baby and Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment and many more. The video begins with the words "December 21st, 2012" flashing on screen, while Spears appears strutting in an underground party wearing a studded leather jacket and stockings. Several people are seen running to a manhole and enter the sewer system to arrive to the party. This is followed by a dance routine in which Spears is wearing a sequined bodysuit and a small jacket with shoulder pads, while accompanied by female dancers. During the video, there are scenes of buildings burning and debris falling, as well as intercut scenes of Spears in front of an illuminated background. As the second verse begins, she dances provocatively with her male dancers. 

The Music Video is a danceable video. You can see Britney dancing along with people in an underground party. Comparing the video to her previous video Hold It Against Me, I certainly like he latest video. It reminded me of the music video of Lady GaGa Just Dance. Seeing Britney Dance along with people and partying while the world is crashing. Visually, the video has a bright quality and it showcases a very good music video. The song is a solid dance music with up beat tempo that will make you want to dance. The choreography was just too good compared to he previous videos. What this music video did lack was anything memorable. There was nothing special or unique about the music video for “Till the World Ends,” and the only thing that really stood out was Britney Spears motorcycle gloves, which I want. There seemed to be an orgy going on between the party goers, which you can somewhat make out inthis screenshot of a girl grabbing someone’s leg in a sexual manner.

Overall, the video was just too good.  Britney is impressive in her dance and the song is just quite good. I'll give it 4 stars out of 5.

Hail to The New Binibining Pilipinas Universe, Shamsey Supsup

The 2010 board topnotcher was named the 2011 Binibining Pilipinas Universe during the pageant coronation night on Sunday, April 10 at theAraneta Coliseum. General Santos City-born Shamcey Supsup will represent the Philippines for the 2011 Miss Universe Pageant in Sao Paolo, Brazil. 


In an interview, she was asked if she is pressured following the accomplishment of the former Binibining Pilipinas Universe and Miss Universe fourth runner up Maria Venus Raj, she said she is not pressured and it was her destiny to win the competition. And she added that she will do her best to win the Miss Universe title.


Meanwhile, after 14 years, Binibining Pilipinas comes back to ABS-CBN. The production was totally good and the opening act was convincingly great. I really like the music they used in the opening, when they mashed up today's popular hits of Katy Pery, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and JLo. The music was so upbeat and my classmate Patricia Guardacasa was even walking like a candidate in the living room. :D peace ! The song number of Sitti, Marie Digby, Karylle and Princess was not that good. Maybe they had the wrong choice of song or the stage was just huge for the four of them. Anyway, with regards to it, Karylle was so stunning that night. Her tanned and radiant color was stunningly beautiful, and she can even compete with the Binibing Pilipinas candidates evenly.


Mirriam Quaimbao, Precious Lara Quigaman, KC Concepcion and Derek Ramsey were the host during the pageant night. And I can surely say that they are one of the most (if not) eloquent host of Binibini so far. Mirriam and Precious was both stunningly elegant during the opening act when I remember Precious' gown was so brave and daring. Mirriam was so beautiful with her hair neatly fixed, and I just saw her on the other channel singing Fireworks by Katy Pery. Kc and Derek was intensely great in the Question and Answer round were in  KC wore a  simple dress and simple make up that made her awesomely beautiful that night. Meanwhile Derek is the only male in the stage, was so good in his hosting skills. I see him as a perfect definition of a gentleman and the 'Adonis' look. Too bad he wasn't able to do the Machete, it could have been perfect for his feature.


Overall, the 2011 Binibining Pilipinas was awesome and we enjoyed watching it. Though there are minimal flaws like I saw camera man running behind the candidates but the whole production was really great. I really hoped that Shamcey will bring home the crown and bested as Universe's most beautiful on September in Brazil.
