If you've been dropping by Kwento Ni Toto, you might have noticed something different. No, we didn’t suddenly become a food blog (though a lechon review sounds tempting). We got ourselves a fresh new banner—a visual upgrade that perfectly embodies what we do best: telling stories. And this time, we’re making it loud and clear with our new tagline: "Tuluy-tuloy lang ang kwento..." Because the stories never stop, and neither do we.

For those who are new here (welcome!), Kwento Ni Toto is where stories come to life. From the latest buzz in entertainment to heartwarming human interest features, from must-read gadget reviews to conservation efforts worth talking about—we cover it all. Our goal? To share stories that inform, entertain, and sometimes make you say, "Ay, oo nga no!"

This new banner isn’t just a makeover; it’s a commitment. A reminder that no matter what happens, we’ll keep finding stories worth telling. Whether it’s about the latest movie to hit the screens, the beauty of nature, or a device that claims to be "game-changing" (but is it, really?), we’ll be here, writing, sharing, and keeping the kwento alive.

So, what do you think? Fresh, right? Stick around, explore, and let’s keep the kwento going. Because as we always say—"Tuluy-tuloy lang ang kwento..."

 

Mixing with a new breed, Filipina American H.E.R. (an abbreviation of ‘Having Everything Revealed’) is in Manila to celebrate the long Christmas season with her family.

Also known as Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson or Gabi for short, H.E.R. is currently one of the most celebrated and accomplished twentysomething singer-songwriters in the international music industry.

To celebrate her many successes, ABS-CBN Global and MYX hosted an exclusive Mixer Event attended by partners, personalities from the music industry, and the country's leading entertainment press last December 27th at Sheraton Manila Hotel.

ABS-CBN Global Chief Operating Officer Aldrin M. Cerrado also welcomes the opportunity to showcase Filipino talent to the country and the world. “We’re very happy that H.E.R. is in town for the holidays. ABS-CBN Global and MYX are very excited about the projects we will work on together in the coming months,” he says.

The 25-year-old San Francisco Bay Area native daughter of a Filipina American mother and African American father has landed in many headlines recently highlighting new career heights in music and film/TV.

With 25 GRAMMY nominations and 5 wins to date, H.E.R. has had an incredible journey, punctuated with inspiring projects and accolades that have quickly ascended her to superstar status. In 2021, her powerful song “Fight For You” from the Warner Bros. Pictures film Judas and the Black Messiah won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

H.E.R. was also covered by global media for her groundbreaking role as the beloved character Belle in Disney's reimagined and reinvented part-live action, part-animated "Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration" anniversary special which will be streamed in the Philippines via Disney+ in January 2023.

 

Just a week ago, KWENTO NI TOTO account was HACKED!!!!

Yes, the Google account that I am using to access Kwento Ni Toto was HACKED but according to Google it is HIJACKED. Yes, basically the account was indeed hijacked because I was totally kicked-out from the account. Whatever form of recovery I actually cannot get access to my account. 

HOW DID IT HAPPEN?

Well, when you are curious and you are tempted, things happens like this one. I was curious on how other YouTubers gain access or being contacted by game developers to make a review or test their upcoming games. So, when opportunity (opportunity in disguised with an evil laugh) you just simply try it and grab it. I was tempted of the opportunity, a negotiable opportunity. 

Near end August when I received an email from a certain Advertising and Marketing personnel from a game developer company. They were asking if I can do a review and short ads of their upcoming game that is still in beta form. To make the long story short I accepted the offer and went on with the instruction. As I execute the so-called game demo it happened, I was hacked! Totally and completely erasing my recovery email, phone number, and the 2 step verification process. 

So, if ever you'll find an email with the same modus, please try to thoroughly research first before getting into action. Another thing when you get a hint that it is something not good, stop and think again. 

Watch my vlog to get the full details of the story. 

Watch out for the next vlog as I share things I tried in recovering the account and what you should do in case you lost it as well from the hackers.

We apologize for extending this raffle as we have some family matters to attend to in the following days.

We have been posting videos of interviews, events, and coverage of different products, personalities and outdoor activities through our Youtube Channel which is the Kwento Ni Toto Channel. We've noticed that we need to make a change and upgrade more of what we are doing with our blog and channel.

So to even make it more personal starting from this video that we've posted we will be having more faces of Toto whenever we're telling a story. Where we've been, who we've interviewed and a whole lot more of our face and voice. So no more pictures of Toto during introduction of the video. We will be turning this channel more into a VLOG channel. Becoming more of a YOUTUBER.

This will be hard for me because I'm more of an offcam kind of person but because of my will to overcome shyness and develop more of my on cam personality I'll be practicing more. So bear with me and be gentle.

For those who have been our followers for quite sometime thank you for having my channel present in your desktop, laptop or other mobile devices. A big thank you!

Since this is our start of going real and 4D I am happy to share that I'll be doing something interesting in the days to come. So better stay tune with my channel and watch out for the big announcement.

2013 has indeed made a good year for Kwento Ni Toto.  A great year that made us gain us more followers and readers and of course brands and companies, and actors and singers that put their trust on us in sharing their latest products, movies, music and campaigns.
