An afternoon visit to one of the location of Bihag that leads to a lightly serious talk about cheating and affairs. That's one of the issues that the teleserye portrays, the reality of what happens when deception and lies sip in into the relationship. Bihag cast Jason Abalos and Sophie Albert willingly answered our questions, especially the part about relationship and cheating.

Good thing the afternoon travel wasn't that heavy traffic, the only problem that we had was the weather. The steamy and firy scourge of the sun made that day unbearable. Fortunately, the shoot location was green and welcoming. You can see it on our photos with the cast.

Going back to the teleserye, it's title Bihag implies not only to the event of being kidnapped but kidnapped in so many ways. Like being trapped in a situation of being cheated or caught in the situation of deceit and lies. 


Jason shared that this is not his first time to cheat... in the teleserye. He also shared about the character of Max in the teleserye, "... oo nga pala kasi iba-iba nga naman yong mga babae. Kung paano sila masaktan, kung paano sila makaramdam so iba iba rin yong way nila para... alam mo yon... para pagdaan yong bawat circumstances." 

With regards to guys covering up like the character Brylle in Bihag, Jason responded his views about it "...siguro ayaw mong masaktan (referring to the character of Jessie)… kung di niya alam di siya masasaktan… siguro natatakot si Brylle na aminin kay Jessie... di nya kasi alam kung ano yong magiging reaction eh... na pag sinumbong nya tapos agad yong pagsasama."


Sophia's response to fight scenes and acts of the legal wife and the other woman in malls or even in social media, "I have never been to that situation so it's really hard to say kasi I have never been married and I have never experienced having a kabit pero for me feeling ko yong best... best... ano.. is just deadma. I don't know. For any situation I'm really just deadma. I mean hindi naman deadma na magpapakatanga ka sa asawa mo pero yong asawa mo yong bantayan mo hindi yong babae…. parang nihumiliate mo lang sarili mo... hindi ko nga naexperience siguro kung naexperience ko mas malala pa siguro.."    

The afternoon interview with the two cast gave insightful views about the characters of Bihag plus some other stories about the two's projects.

Another thing catch the 5K Challenge that we did with Jason Abalos and Sophie Albert.

So, watch Bihag every afternoon on the Kapuso Network.

There are news and rumors going around online that the #MarNigo love team is now separated. Is it true or not? Well, just recently there was a press conference held somewhere in Q.C. about the upcoming project of Maris Racal, one of which is her latest single "Abot Langit".

During the presscon it was asked about the situation of the love team. Maris Racal clarifies the issue. I think it's a trend now that love teams are now starting to do their own solo projects and activities in order to grow. MarNigo isn't the first love team to be rumored of the separation. Perhaps what's important is the support that is given to the actors and actresses.

Hearing the phrase "Dahil sa Pag-ibig" brings the rhythmic old song. When I say old well, it's now my generation but much further. It's actually a song sung by Anthony Castelo, which my father sung when I was still a kid, that's why the phrase rings a bell.  But my story not about the song but GMA's new teleserye that will air next week, specifically May 20.

Beginning May 20, GMA Network redefines the Kapuso viewers’ afternoon viewing experience with the gripping story about the sacrifices a wife would be willing to endure for the sake of her husband in Dahil sa Pag-ibig. This goes with the line "how far will you go for love."



The original drama is topbilled by the network’s highly-talented and promising stars: Benjamin Alves as Eldon, Winwyn Marquez as Portia, Pancho Magno as Gary and Sanya Lopez as Mariel.

Eldon (Benjamin), who works as an OFW in Saudi Arabia, commits a grave crime that eventually lands him in jail. His wife Mariel (Sanya), who is left in the Philippines, is desperate to earn the “Blood Money” that will bail out her husband. Portia (Winwyn), the wife of Eldon’s employer, is bent on putting him behind bars. Gary (Pancho), Mariel’s rich former lover, offers an indecent proposal that shakes her fidelity to Eldon.


Driven by the fears and sacrifices of every wife who has an OFW for a husband, Dahil sa Pag-ibig tells the thought-provoking tale of the temptations and difficulties that a married couple confront when separated by distance.

Witness in Dahil Sa Pag-ibig how a shocking revelation turned the once perfect lives of the characters of this soap into a nightmare.

Joining the powerhouse cast are Sandy Andolong as Nanette, Mariel’s naïve mother; Dominic Roco as Roger, Eldon’s trusted friend and housemate in Saudi; Devon Seron as Chin-Chin, Mariel’s comical best friend; Kelley Day as Alison, Gary’s sophisticated girlfriend; Tep Tep Pineda as Justine, Mariel and Eldon’s lovable daughter; and Tetchie Agbayani as Clara, Eldon’s strict mother.



Behind this engrossing drama is the creative team composed of Creative Director Aloy Adlawan; Creative Head RJ Nuevas; Creative Consultant Agnes Uligan; Headwriter Christine Novicio; Writers Wiro Michael Ladera and Marlon Miguel; and Brainstormers Nehem Dallego and Angeli Delgado.

The series is another original creation of the GMA Drama Group under the supervision of Senior Vice President for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable; Vice President for Drama Redgie Acuña-Magno; Assistant Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy; Senior Program Manager Cathy Ochoa Perez, Executive Producer Arlene Pilapil.


Under the helm of esteemed Director Ricky Davao with Lore Reyes as his associate director, don’t miss the world premiere of Dahil sa Pag-ibig beginning May 20 after Bihag on GMA Afternoon Prime.

Kapuso viewers from across the globe can also catch their favorite Kapuso shows via GMA’s international channels GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV, and GMA News TV International. For the program guide, visit www.gmapinoytv.com.

Good Life, most of us are wishing and looking forward to have a better life, if not today, perhaps in the future. We wanted to enjoy the days of our lives with our family and kids. And the only way to do that is for workers to be business owners. Doing that is a bit hard for someone who has less but for the persistent all it need is the will.


I was once a networker and that was almost two decades ago. The business was great but didn't last long. Issues and matters about the company started to be shaky until I lost interest. I'm not sure how was today's networking company goes but it seems working pretty well for the many, specially those who have already established themselves.

Just recently, one of the growing and strong networking company, JC Premiere, celebrated its 5th year with the Good Life Summit 2019. This is the company's five years of continued commitment in making their members dream true. Unfortunately, the celebration had started already when we entered MOA Arena. It was Angeline Quinto singing to the crowd as we enter.

Some members where sticking their hands up with their mobile devices to have a picture and video of Angeline Quinto singing. When Angeline asked if this was their first time to see her in person, many raised their hands. Angeline requested for the hashtag #AngGandaPalaNiAngelineQuintoSaPersonal.


It seems that JC really did get some of the best in the industry because the next performer was Bamboo who sung some of the best iconic music in the 90's.  By the way the event was hosted by Gretchen Ho and Mr. Foo.

Testimonies are one of the networking companies strength. It is part of the company that proves your products are good. And one of JC Premiere's member was able to share, though short because of stage fright.


Another interesting about the celebration is the raffle. Yes, JC Premiere raffles more than a million pesos. Talk about luck because quite few of the 5GL Summit attendees were lucky enough to take half a million each.

The best part of the celebration are the talk of JC Premiere leaders Carlito Macadangdang, Vice President and CFO and Jonathan So, President and CEO. Some of the highlights of their talks are the life time Buy 1 Take 1 of some products, their Travel incentives, and new features of their marketing plans, plus the way members are given big opportunity to earn more.


With a growing network company like this, it would be great to go back to networking again.

In a media conference held in Pamana Restaurant in Quezon City, Ms Ai Ai Delas Alas isn't much in a comedic mood as she expressed her disappointment with the rap group that she manages, the Ex-Battalion. She was in tears as she explains the details of her disappointment. Knowing that she has been their manager for at least a year, she has indeed cope up with the stress of being the group's mother and manager.

During her revelation to the media and bloggers present, she expressed and shared all of her disappointments. She was indeed a mother to them but wasn't treated with respect. There were instances shared by Ms Ai Ai that she has to cover up for the group because of mishandled opportunities and gigs.


Two instance that Ms Ai Ai shared was the gig coordinated by Mark which on the day before the event he left the group and the other one is the case of Daryll to a production which he didn't attended because he lost his voice. These are just samples of the group being irresponsible and lacking professionalism.


With this, Ms. Ai Ai announced to the bloggers and media present that she will no longer manage Ex-Battalion. She is resigning as their manager. This is because of the stress that the group has brought to her.

She stressed that she was traumatized by this and will no longer accepts any talent to manage. Even if the group requests her to manage them again. She will just focus on her career being an actress, a comedienne, and concert.

As of the moment we don't have any reaction from the Ex-Battalion rap group.
