Toto 2/25/2023 10:28:00 AM

Rainy days or not, fans continue to be delighted by the successes achieved by their idols. One of these is Jeric Gonzales, a talent of GMA Sparkle who continues to demonstrate his acting prowess. Of course, Benjie Austria, the producer of the movie "Broken Blooms", is also making waves. Jeric is currently leading the pack with the number of awards he has received as Best Actor in various international film festivals such as the Harlem International Film Festival in New York, Mokho International Film Festival, Tagore International Film Festival in India, and Montelupo International Film Festival in Italy.

Because of these achievements, he is among the 33 personalities who were honored by the President and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). This was conferred at the 15th Ani ng Dangal Awards of the NCCA, led by President Bongbong Marcos and First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos last February 22, 2023, at the Ceremonial Hall of Malacañan Palace.

These accomplishments are not just for Jeric but also for the entire production team, especially for Benjie Austria who provided support to Jeric and their movie. In an interview with Benjie Austria, "Of course, I am happy and overwhelmed that he received international recognition as the best actor in Harlem, New York, so thank you to the government for acknowledging this through NCCA since this is a first venture project under Bentria productions."

This is a great honor not only for Jeric but also for the entire country. The Dangal of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts pays tribute to artists who demonstrate their skill and talent in the field of arts and culture.

"Broken Blooms" is a first venture project of BenTria Productions and stars Jeric alongside veteran actors such as Therese Malvar, Boobay, Royce Cabrera, Lou Veloso, and Ms. Jaclyn Jose. Despite the pandemic, their film continues to compete in various international film festivals.

With every success achieved by Filipino artists, not only are they showcasing their excellence but also their production team. These are the people behind the camera who tirelessly work to make a successful movie a reality.

Another Bigger, Broader Scope of Awards this 2021 for RAWR Awards

Toto 11/03/2021 06:54:00 AM

It's another part of the year where recognition in the entertainment industry is set by LionhearTV, when I say ENTERTAINMENT it's the whole shebangs, and that's from all different media and platforms. So, expect big this year.

RAWR is simply a stylized name lifted from the word 'roar' which represents the sound of the king of the jungle. Awardees each year are those who made a roaring noise in the entertainment industry as a whole.

This year, the set of awards are divided into four categories: The Cub, the Lion, the Pride, and the Royal Awards.

For the Cub Awards, please see the sets of awards at stake:

Beshie ng Taon. In any story, he or she is the sidekick, the supporter who cheers for the Bida. Oftentimes, he or she is overlooked and taken for granted, but because of his or her contribution to tell and complete a story—he or she gives the lead a special support system, and because of that—he or she deserves that recognition, too.

1. Hasna Cabral (La Vida Lena)
2. Nikko Natividad (Init Sa Magdamag)
3 .Sue Ramirez (Oh My Dad)
4. Kiray Celis (Owe My Love)
5. DJ Jhai Ho (Kusina Ni Mamang)
6. Criza Taa (He’s Into Her)
7. Ayra Mariano (Heartful Cafe)
8. Don Bocco, Jericho Arceo (The World Between Us)

Favorite Bida. Bida means the lead—it can refer to either the star on a television show or in a film. The Favorite Bida is someone who gave a remarkable performance. Though being a protagonist back then are the victims and who allow the antagonist to just abuse him or her; today, the Bida knows how to fight back and still earn the sympathy of the audience.

Sanya Lopez (First Yaya)
Coco Martin (FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano)
Donny Pangilinan (He’s Into Her)
Maja Salvador (Niña Niño)
Charlie Dizon (Fan Girl)
Glaiza de Castro (Nagbabagang Luha)
Andrea Brillantes (Huwag Kang Mangamba)
Julie Anne San Jose (Heartful Cafe)

Favorite Kontrabida. Any Bida will not be as effective and convincing if his or her 'kontrabida' fails to deliver. The said award is given to the antagonist who made the audience hate them because of the guts and he or she can steal the spotlight from the lead if given the chance. With many bankable artists turn into the villains they are now, one can only be hailed as the Ultimate Kontrabida.

Breakthrough Artist of the Year. Not necessarily a newcomer, but he or she is an artist, a personality that rocked the entertainment scene with such a sterling performance and perhaps an achievement that impressed many. It is a matter of leaving a great impact for the Filipino audience to see what he or she can still offer, positively.

Jane de Leon (FPJ'S Ang Probinsyano)
Sean de Guzman (Anak ng Macho Dancer)
MiKel (The Lost Recipe)
AJ Raval (Death of a Girlfriend)
Gigi de Lana (ASAP Natin ‘To)

Favorite Newbie. Spotlighting the freshest face[s] or maybe those who just ventured into the entertainment circuit is one of the most exciting parts of this award-giving body. He or she has impressed the public or the eyes of scrutinizing critics. Though new, the star has made a good mark and was given that stamp of approval and predicted to have a promising future in the industry.

Claire Castro (Nagbabagang Luha)
Criza Taa (He’s Into Her)

Song of the Year. It reflects the heart and the soul of an artist and they affect the listeners. This is a song that made the public define a particular emotion—it can be joy, sorrow, or pain. That song is something that most people have that LSS or last song syndrome or can be an anthem for the whole year-round.

Before the birthday of LionHearTV on October 25, the announcement of nominees is all set on the same day. Voting online begins on the 25th and runs until the 30th of November.

The awards night is presented live online. It will be on the 5th of December.
