Great news for all Kwento Ni Toto fans, followers and readers!  We were able to meet Chino and Ramil, two of the three Filipinos who will be sent to train for space in AXE Apollo Space Camp in Florida this coming December.  They were present during the weekend event of Axe in Fort Bonifacio.  

Good news for all AXE fans, the no. 1 fragrance brand on the planet, will be sending 23 lucky people to space to celebrate the launch of their newest fragrance “AXE Apollo”.  The only bad news is that unless you're one of the 112 people on Earth set to train at the international AXE Apollo Global Space Camp in Florida this December just like Chino and Ramil but probably you're not.  Well if you're not one of those people set off to space then it's a good thing that AXE Philippines and FOX International Channels made a better use of the weekend last week.  To let people experience what it is like in space with zero gravity AXE set up the “AXE Apollo Space Simulator”.  This is a specially-designated facility for all you people who won't make it to actual space.

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.
