Few weeks ago, right before Juan Dela Cruz announced that they'll be soon ending, Honesto started showing up in commercials as it is the next prime time TV series that will replace Juan Dela Cruz. And I like the concept of their nose are swelling when they tell lies. Perhaps and this is just a hunch that Honesto, with its honesty thrust, was intentionally driven out just right before the election to inform the masses that we all need an honest and trust worthy officials that will lead us even in this smallest form of the government.

Well we all hope that through this campaign of Honesto, Honest toh! will directly or indirectly teach everyone to be honest.

Kwento Ni Toto had been watching the Pinoy Version of Maria Mercedes already for quite some time and thanks to wifey for that.  Also I get to watch the lovely actress who greeted me on my birthday.

So, for almost two weeks already I like how the story goes.   In my opinion Jessy Mendiola made justice to the character, the usual beautiful, innocent look of Maria Mercedes.  Jessy captured that style.  I remembered having some time to watch the series as my mom and sister sit and have their telenovela moments.

How about you what can you say about the Maria Mercedes teleserye shown on ABS CBN Primetime?  Any reaction would be great.

Here's something for Kwento Ni Toto followers from Fox as they give treats before the Holloween.  Read the details below.

October will be a huge month for FOX, as a monumental event in television will be exploding on screens all over the Philippines and Asia on the 19th. On October 19, 2013, FOX will be broadcasting the Philippine and Asian premiere of Season 4 of The Walking Dead at 8:55 PM, followed by the premiere of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Sleepy Hollow at 9:50 PM and 10:45 PM, respectively. The three shows are among the most highly anticipated series in the US, each owning a distinct fan base as TV adaptations of successful comic book and movie franchises. The Walking Dead which FOX International Channels identified at script level and owns the global rights for, is based on a comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, and has had a strong viewership over its last three seasons, garnering 12.4 million viewers for its Season 3 finale and reigns the most watched series in PayTV history.

Kwento Ni Toto will be laughing his way again outside the cinema soon as this two beautiful actresses will make everyone possibly laugh from start to end.   Starring AiAi Delas Alas and Marian Rivera who I think both worked for the very first time, together with Edward Mendez, these three great actors will definitely twist and turn the world of Kung Fu.  Entitled as "KUNG FU DIVAS" they will be making everyone enjoy watching the movie.  The movie is directed by Onat Diaz.  This movie is the first directorial movie of Onat Diaz.

We've known Galema: Anak Ni Zuma in the 80s and it was something new.  Now, with the advancement of digital and movie technology "Galema: Anak Ni Zuma" will be something awesome to watch.

TV experience is about to change and that's according to Pinoy Reality TV, as they revolutionize the viewing experience of Pinoys.  Recently, Kwento Ni Toto correspondent was able to participate in an intimate event which includes the staff behind Pinoy Reality TV.

In our traditional TV viewing we usually watch the Teleseryes, showbiz talk show, movie, news and variety shows on a specific schedule or time slot that sometimes we tend to miss, specially our favorite ones.   Well, those days is already history with the presence of the internet, everything is just a click away and can be viewed online. I've learned also through our conversation about the Push and Pull. The traditional TV is called a "Push" because it follows a definite schedule or time of airing, you cannot choose because it's already set so you need to follow the schedule. While the "Pull" is the latest style of watching shows through online because viewers can choose when to watch it or log on the specific site to watch a missed series or show.
