Halika 3.0

The ratings are going up. Possible reasons:

• Nawala si Korina Sanchez sa TV Patrol, which others believe is an indication that ABS-CBN had been biased for Gloria, thus resulting to lower viewers not just in the news but in the primetime shows.
• Entry of Hero and Sandara in Krystala. Krystala got 30%+ ratings only when the two became part of the show.
• Lovers in Paris was moved to an earlier time slot, thus more could view the show.
• SCNTQ was moved to a latter timeslot, since it does not have a very strong pull to be at the start of primetime.

By the way, what can you say about what Susan Roces said about ABS-CBN?

Pinagalitan ni Susan Roces ang ABS-CBN habang iniinterview siya ni Karen Davila para sa TV Patrol World. Kawawa ang channel two kasi sinabihan sila na pinapansin lang nila si FPJ dahil gusto nilang itaas ang ratings nila (ang ABS-CBN at si PGMA)e noong araw iba ang sinasabi nila. Mangiyak-ngiyak si Karen habang nag-iinterview.

Si Karen Davila di ko alam kung Channel Two’s Next Best Reporter siya or the Next Drama Princess. Balita dapat, naging crying session.

It’s a good thing ABS-CBN did not cut the program. This is one of the moments when Channel 2 is fair. It allowed the airing of something that is damaging to its own interests.

After checking out other sites, I found out that PEX has a thread on this topic that is on fire. You have to register to be able to read the site.

Osang sinuway ang GMA-7

AKALA raw siguro ni Rosanna Roces kapag nag-sorry siya kay Manay Lolit Solis (former manager niya), okay na ang lahat. Pero, nagkamali ang dating sexy actress, dahil isinusuka na siya nito.

Hindi raw kasi binigyang-halaga ni Osang ang kanilang pagkakaibigan. Tinawag pa nitong sinungaling ang dating alaga. Kung sadyang matapang at mapagmahal na ina raw si Osang, bakit ngayon ay ipinamamalita nito ang pagbubuntis ng anak na si Grace?

Kung gusto raw ni Osang ng gimik, huwag sana niyang gamitin ang kanyang anak. Siya na lang daw mismo ang gumimik at huwag gumamit ng iba pang tao.

Sabi pa ni Manay Lolit, mapapatawad niya si Osang, pero ayaw na niya itong maging kaibigan muli.

Well, abangan na lang natin ang muling pagkikita ng paghaharap nina Manay Lolit at Osang.

Samantala, as we were going to press, napanood namin si Osang live sa The Buzz kahapon.

As expected, halinhinan siyang in-interview nina Boy Abunda, Kris Aquino at Cristy Fermin tungkol sa hiwalayan nila ng “asawang” si Tito Molina at pagbubuntis ng anak na si Grace.

Natural, nagulat kami sa aming napanood dahil nagbigay na ng babala ang GMA-7 na hindi puwedeng lumabas si Osang sa The Buzz, dahil bawal ‘yon sa kanyang existing contract sa istasyon.

Sinubukan naming kunin ang reaction ng mga taga-Siyete sa live at exclusive guesting na ‘yon ni Osang sa Buzz, pero obviously, pati sila ay nagulat sa ginawa ng erstwhile bold star.

Marahil, hinahanda pa ng opisyales ng nasabing network ang official statement nila ukol sa bagay na ito. [source]

GMA Network has truly established the world-class quality of its programs and talent as it garnered several honors in the 2004 Asian Television Awards.

GMA won in two categories, and got high commendations for two others, while GMA Network, Inc. was a runner-up for the best terrestrial TV station.

“Bubble Gang” won as the Best Comedy Program, while Michael V. was named Best Comedy Actor. “Walang Bakas: A GMA News and Public Affairs Special” was a runner-up for Best Docu-Drama Program. Meanwhile, “Jessica Soho Reports” got high commendations under the Best Current Affairs Program category.

Also shortlisted for their respective categories are “Kay Susan Tayo” for Best Infotainment Program, “Basta Pinoy, Sweet Lover” episode of “Partners with Mel Tiangco” for Best Talk Show, and Vicky Morales for Best News and Current Affairs Presenter for her I-Witness feature, “Missing.”

The Asian Television Awards Ceremony was held at the University Cultural Centre (UCC), National University of Singapore last December 2 as part of the Asia Media Festival. [source]

Malaki ang paniniwala ng ABS-CBN Channel 2 na malakas pa rin sa masa ang tambalang Robin Padilla-Vina Morales.

Matatandaang humakot sila ng milyones sa takilya para sa Viva Films noong early ’90s with Ang Utol Kong Hoodlum (Miss Na Miss Kita) film series. Kundi ba naman, ano itong report na nakarating sa amin tungkol sa isang bagong TV series na pinaghalong love story-sitcom-action, na wala tayong kamalay-malay ay nakaka-tatlong linggo na palang nagte-taping sa Subic?

Malamang na early or middle of 2005 pa ang airing ng series na ito. Kaya lang sila nagte-taping ngayon ay sinamantala nila ang availability nina Robin at Vina.

After Christmas kasi ay magbabakasyon nang matagal si Robin sa Australia while Vina will go on a US concert tour starting February 2005 until early April.

Ang tanong: Hindi kaya manumbalik ang nakaraan nina Vina at Robin? Wala kayang dapat ipangamba si Liezel Sicangco? [source]

Former actress Amalia Fuentes last Tuesday said she was preparing to file a complaint against GMA Network’s investigative program “Imbestigador” for taking video footage inside her rest house in Nasugbu, Batangas, without her permission.

“Being part of the media doesn’t give them access to every nook and cranny of my home,” the feisty actress told Inquirer Entertainment in a phone interview. “They can only come inside when I tell them so.” [source]

Hindi na nga raw napunta ang Kampanerang Kuba (old Vilma Santos film) sa mga palad ni Claudine, kundi kay Jodi Sta Maria na.

Deserving din naman si Jodi dahil tulad ni Claudine ay magaling din itong umarte.

Baka naman type lang magpahinga’t magbakas-yon muna ni Claudine, dahil in fairness, ilang taon na rin naman niya ginagawa ang mga soap opera?

Pero teka, narinig rin naming hinahabol daw ng “creator” ng Kampanerang Kuba — ang beteranong nobelistang si Pablo S. Gomez dahil ni hindi raw nagpaalam nang maayos ang Kapamilya Network sa kanya para gawin itong teleserye?

Na pag itinuloy pa rin daw ng istasyon ang paggamit sa naturang kuwento without necessary negotiations with Gomez ay ipapa-TRO raw niya ang paglabas nito at baka raw humantong pa sa lega-lidad.

Naku, maanong ma-kipag-settle na ang kung sino mang dapat na kumausap bago ipa-press release na gagawin ang Kumpanerang Kuba, ‘no? [source]

Nagsimula na pala na non-celebrity ang contestants sa Pilipinas, Game KNB? At nagsimula na rin ang mga aksidente sa taping nito. Kamakalawa ng gabi, finally ay may nakakuha na ng P1M grand prize. Ito’y isang contestant mula sa Mexico, Pampanga. Pero, may nangyaring aksidente during the taping.

Ibinalita sa akin ni Kris Aquino ang aksidente. “From the tarantarium (holding area ng mga contestant), nadulas ‘yung contestant,” simula ni Kris. “At ang nakakaloka, nadulas siya tapos ang daming dugo. He was rushed sa ABS-CBN medical clinic for first aid and later on, dinala na siya sa Capitol Medical Center.

“Natigil ang taping dahil sa aksidente. Kinausap ‘yung contestant kung kaya pa niya dahil sa sugat niya. He said yes. So, we went on and God is really good.

“Imagine, sa final round, he was able to answer the question? Talagang destined siyang manalo,” kuwento ni Kris.

Hanga ang aktres-TV host sa nasabing contestant. “Imagine, puro na siya dugo, tapos ang concern pa niya is nasira niya ‘yung set. Panay ang sorry niya. Kinilabutan ako sa eksenang yon,” dagdag na kuwento nito.

Anytime this week ay ipalalabas ang nasabing episode ng PGKNB? [source]
