SPIT or the Silly People's Improv Theater and the PETA Theater Center proudly present the Manila Improv Festival 2013 as they celebrate their 11th year anniversary which will run from June 25 – 30, 2013.

Kwento Ni Toto's correspondent Justin was able to attend a press conference of the said event and was able to know the details about SPIT's 11th year anniversary. So, for this year there theme is entitled “Follow Your Feet”, an improvisational theater concept which also ties in with the art form's return to PETA – the group that first introduced the improvisational theater to the country in the early 70s. As SPIT takes more ground on a new decade of laughter and innovation, the group decided to take bolder step in sharing the art of improv to bigger audiences through the festival and its partnership with PETA Theater Center.

As the artistic director of the festival and founder of SPIT, Gabe Mercado, shares the vision of the festival “SPIT was founded back in June 2002, because I saw the need for a new kind of comedy – one that differed from the usual stand-up comedy routines that we are used to seeing on TV and comedy bars. Improv appealed to me because of its grounding on truth, the magic of spontaneity, and the fun that on-the-spot creation brings about. We hope events like these help build the improv community of the country and the region.”

What can I say to this young, bubbly and straight to the point new recording artist of MCA Music Inc?
Well here are some that I think you would like about her and I made it something extra cute and ordinary.

B - stands for BUBBLY.  During the afternoon at the MCA Music conference room, she was really bubbly talking to us and sharing her thoughts about her album and of course some of her life statuses as well.

A - this one is quite subjective on my part because as what the quote says "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder" and I find her ATTRACTIVE at her age.  And perhaps that's how she mesmerize her fans with her cute and ATTRACTIVE smile.

R - REBEL!  Yup and it is correct.  You read it right she's a REBEL and like I said this is according to my perception about her.  REBEL in a sense that she defies and goes on what she wanted to do.  Just like the one on the other network who defies the norms as well.

B - I think she's a BELIEVER!  From the way she answers and how her family supports her with her new endeavor.  Not really sure if she's also a belieber.  Hahaha!

I - IDOL!  Well, though I don't really follow much of her movies and teleserye on her home network I'm pretty much sure that she has quite a number of followers that IDOLIZE her very much.

E - well she's EAGER!  Yup she's eager to learn new things and her self-titled album, Barbie Forteza is the result of her EAGERNESS to try different things and new line of career but not deviating from what she started.

Pinoys from 80s knows the story of Annaliza, me being a kid don't get the whole idea about the story but I know about the soap opera then, most especially when talked about Julie Vega.  Yup, Julie Vega was the child star who played the role of Annaliza and that's all I know.

Three decades after, Annaliza returns to television in Primetime Bida of ABS-CBN.  This is their newest and heartwarming primetime family drama which will be played by Andrea Brillantes as Annaliza.

Andrea, being one of the rising teleserye princess, captures the similarities with Julie Vega, innocent and beautiful.  Played numerous remarkable roles, Andrea Brillantes may have the talent to portray the character of Annaliza.  Perhaps we will watch it even closer and see her acting on this.
