Ang Panday, nagsimula na

Monday, November 14th, 2005

Nagsimula na Ang Panday nang ipinalabas ang the making na pinamagatang Ang Alamat ng Espada. Pinagtuuan ng pansin ang bida na si Jericho Rosales sa unang gabi at si Fernando Poe, Jr. naman noong ikalawang gabi.

Ang sarap pakinggan ang theme song ng palabas na ito. Sana Makita Kang Muli.

Sa Ilalim ng Cogon

Julia’s movie bags Argentina film award

Julia Clarete was excited and proud when she learned that the independent film that she co-starred in, together with Yul Servo, won a foreign award. The movie was entitled “Sa Ilalim ng Cogon.”

The movie bagged the “Best International Picture” award at the recently concluded Rojo Sanggre International Film Festival in Argentina.

Because she was in Los Angeles at that time, Julia, an Eat Bulaga mainstay, was surprised when she received the text that the film won.

And she was doubly surprised when the American audience recognized her while she was in the States.

Through Pinoy TV, Eat Bulaga is among the most popular GMA 7 shows that are watched by many Filipinos and Americans alike.

Love to Love Season 9

Sunday, November 13th, 2005

Julia Clarete, Alfred Vargas and Isabel in one show? Seems good to me. too bad I don’t watch tv during its Sunday timeslot.

Patapos na ang 8th season ng Love to Love nina Ciara Sotto, Paolo Ballesteros, Jopay Paguia and Ian Veneracion of Love-An O Bawi at Mike Tan, LJ Reyes, CJ Muere and partner of Stuck in Love. Still undefeated ito kahit 3 shows na ang itinapat for this season including its current, ang PBB Buzz na mistulang hype pa lang din. With 2 weeks to go, magsisimula na ang taping for the 9th season next week in time for its premiere end of November of first Sunday of December ba.

Kasado na ang cast ng first story. It will have our favorite girl Julia Clarete in her first series sa GMA-7 together with Encantadia heartthrob Alfred Vargas and Sugo sensation Isabel Oli. Sa first story, dapat, ito ang pinu-push na-ming Jennylyn Mercado-Hero first team-up with Katrina Halili and that StarStruck I male avenger. As of this writing, hindi na yata ito matutuloy dahil napalitan si Hero ni Jake Cuenca, ang original love triangle naman nina Jennylyn and Mark Herras since Forever in My Heart pa.
