Darren on His "Home Run" Concert

6/08/2021 06:42:00 AM

 

Darren Espanto is all set to showcase his transformation as a singer-performer, shedding off his teenage persona for an edgier repertoire and vibe in his comeback concert “Home Run,” finally happening on June 19 (Saturday) with a rerun on June 20 (Sunday) via KTX.ph, iWantTFC, and TFC IPTV for the enjoyment of audiences worldwide.

“It's called ‘Darren Home Run’ because in the past 7 years parang naikot ko na po lahat ng bases in the music/concert scene in the Philippines. So it's kind of like I hit a home run in this show. I just came back from Canada so I'm very excited,” Darren said.

Initially scheduled on May 30 and 31, “Darren Home Run: The Comeback Concert” was postponed after the multi-awarded young artist was exposed to a COVID-19 positive individual. Now all systems go this month for the grand musical show which is a collaboration between ABS-CBN Events and MCA Music.

The first major solo virtual concert of Darren—who just turned 20 last May 24—will be directed by Paolo Valenciano, with TV direction by Jon Moll and musical direction by Soc Mina. Performances on the show will be choreographed by D Grind.

“This is the biggest virtual concert that I have ever done. Most of the songs that I personally chose for the setlist are close to my heart and may relation din sa journey ko sa showbiz,” Darren teased.

Along with his jaw-dropping vocal prowess and hip moves, the Kapamilya artist promises never-before-seen song numbers that will make him soar to greater heights, which includes his performance of his latest single “Tama Na.”


 
The track lyrically speaks of unrequited love and having the courage to withdraw from a one-sided relationship on top of a pop, hip-hop, and R&B sound. “I really liked the song instantly. It’s a sound that people haven’t heard from me before and it’s also a genre I’ve always wanted to try,” he said.

Tickets for “Darren Home Run: The Comeback Concert” are still available for purchase via KTX.ph, iWantTFC, and TFC IPTV. VIP tickets are priced at P1,500, available only for the June 19 live show via KTX.ph, with an exclusive access to a Zoom party with Darren. Regular tickets can be availed for P699.

SKYcable subscribers can also experience the whole concert commercial-free and in high-definition via SKY Pay-Per-View on June 19 (Saturday) at 8 pm for only P699. To get the pay-per-view passes, they can visit mysky.com.ph/skyppv or text SKY PPV to 23662.

Good vibes, this is what Kim Chiu's music is all about. 

Kapamilya actress Kim Chiu becomes a woman-about-town in the newly released music video of her Star Pop single “KIMMI.”

The K-pop-inspired video features Kim as a production assistant at work who wakes up to a crazy dream of being the star of a party armed with cool moves and stylish get-ups.

“When the pandemic started, I became a super fan of K-pop. I’m in love with their fashion and style especially their music,” she shared.

The music video is a fitting spectacle to the electronic Pilipino music (EPM) track composed and produced by DJ M.O.D., “It’s Showtime’s” resident musical arranger and disk jockey.

“We work together in ‘It’s Showtime’ almost every day and DJ M.O.D. knows my vibe. I’m really proud that we were able to collaborate on this song,” Kim added.

Released just two weeks ago, “KIMMI” is the newest dance anthem to hit the local music scene, bringing a fun inspiration to Pinoys to keep relishing life like a party.

This 2022 National Election, What Do You Think of Ping Lacson-Tito Sotto Duo?

6/03/2021 04:13:00 PM

 

Summer has officially ended (I think), seems that the second quarter of the year is about to end, yet, people are already eyeing the names of possible candidates for the National Elections. There were already top 10 names of presidential and vice-presidential candidates spreading around in the webspace. Remember that the Philippines will be having its National Election for President, Vice President, and Senators next year on May 9, 2022.

So, who are the lucky names included in the survey suggested to run for the National Election? Several names were already on the list, Sen. Manny Pacquiao, Mayor Sarah Duterte, Mayor Isko Moreno, Sen. Ping Lacson, Sen. Tito Sotto, and many more. But the Sen. Tito Sotto and Sen. Ping Lacson tandem interestingly poked the curiosity of some critics, especially, after the interview of Karen Davila with Sen. Tito Sotto.

During the interview, Karen asked Sen. Sotto if ever he will run for the National Election, who should he pick as his running mate. Sen. Sotto answers without hesitation, "First of all, I’m still considering it. And if I do consider it, the number one on my list would be Sen. Lacson. I know his capability. I know what he can do for the country.” And Sen. Sotto added, "If he runs for president, I will support him!”




There were positive feedbacks on the possible candidate.

  • “Matalino si Ping, bagay na Presidente.”
  • “Baka si Ping ang iboto ko.Pero tingnan muna natin ang mangyayari.”
  • “Siya ang nakikita ko na totoong may malasakit sa tao at sa bansa natin.”
  • “Malakas noon si Lacson naghati lang sila ni FPJ ng boto kasi di nag-give way ang isa sa kanila.”
  • “Magiging history pag nag-win si Ping. Mahirap kasi sa mga presidentiables na tumakbo before ang manalo pag tumakbo ulit. As far as my knowledge is concern, ‘di pa nangyayari ‘yun sa ‘Pinas.”

Right now, political parties are convening to endorse their official candidate for the coming National Election. It is a long way to go before the election, but it is good to understand and know the potential leaders of the country.



In other news, Sen. Ping Lacson's son Pampi celebrated his birthday together with his children Thirdy (Jodi Sta. Maria's son) and Mimi (Iwa Moto's daughter). Both children sang a birthday song to Pampi with a cake and a gift. A memorable day indeed for him.

When Pampi was asked about the possible tandem of Sen. Tito Sotto and his father Sen. Ping Lacson, he remains quiet about the matter.

MMK Brings Heartwarming Stories about Family and Love with Maris, Cris, Pepe, Awra, and Jaya This June

6/02/2021 08:31:00 AM

 

MMK is still the best storyteller of real-life drama of people, whether it is about family,. friends, or simply the struggle of an individual.  I'm one of the avid viewers of this show and I remember in my younger years we would try to guess the title of the story or the significant item of the story. 

Now, MMK is more than just guessing that title for me but a deeper understanding of life's teaching to us. Thankful to those people who have shared their stories that it does not only entertain but also teaches. 

This June, Maris Racal, Cris Villanueva, Pepe Herrera, Kim Molina, Awra Briguela, and Jaya star in “MMK's” fresh and memorable stories about love and parenting.

In its first offering this June 5, Kim Molina and Pepe Herrera play lovers who will prove that one's status in life is not the basis of choosing who to fall in love with. See how Rose (Kim), an engineer, and JR (Pepe), a tricycle driver, fell for each other and what struggles they faced in their relationship.

Maris Racal and Cris Villanueva, on the other hand, topbill “MMK”’s Father's Day special this June 12 and 19. For 20 years, all Jai (Maris) wanted was to find her father. Even if her mother and stepfather love her, she still feels an emptiness in her life. When she found work as a crew in delivery service, she used the opportunity to search for her father while working.

Aside from the two stories, viewers will also get to relive the story of a lesbian mother and a transgender teenager played by Jaya and Awra, respectively. Catch the story of Timi (Awra) who produced a viral video that told the story of his everyday life with his mother, Cata (Jaya).

A New Meaning in JAYDA's New Single “M.U.”

6/02/2021 08:08:00 AM

 

In Jayda'a new single, she clearly defines the new meaning of M.U. It's not the usual MU that we've known but embracing a new meaning as she created a bold statement against lack of label in relationships in her latest single “M.U.,” released under Star Music.

“M.U.” is a colloquial acronym that stands for ‘Malabong Usapan,’ and is the focal point of the song which addresses the importance of asserting security in a romantic relationship. “’M.U.’ is about knowing what you want, what you deserve, knowing your worth and what you DON’T want in a relationship. It’s all about wanting clarity,” Jayda stressed.

The pop-infused track is a new writing collaboration between the Kapamilya singer-songwriter and her father Dingdong Avanzado, whom she also worked with for her “Paano Kung Naging Tayo?” single released last February. She also co-produced “M.U.” with ABS-CBN Music creative director Jonathan Manalo.

Meanwhile, the music video for the self-empowering track featuring Francine Diaz was released last May 17, which Jayda co-directed with Edrex Clyde Sanchez. The multifaceted artist previously made her directorial debut for the music video of “Paano Kung Naging Tayo?” which featured former “Pinoy Big Brother: Otso” housemate Rhys Miguel.

As one of the country’s new breed of OPM singer-songwriters, Jayda is set to stage her first-ever major concert on June 26 (Saturday) with a re-run on June 27 (Sunday) via KTX.ph, iWanTTFC, and TFC IPTV. Tickets are still available on the aforementioned platforms for only P499.

Know your worth and stream Jayda’s new song “M.U.,” out now on various digital music platforms. For more details, like Star Music on Facebook (www.facebook.com/starmusicph) and follow it on Twitter and Instagram (@StarMusicPH).

Aia de Leon, Barbie Almalbis, Kitchie Nadal, Johnoy Danao, Ebe Dancel, and Bullet Dumas Co-Headline a Kumu Digital Concert Entitled ‘ALPAS’

6/02/2021 12:58:00 AM

 

When was the last time I heard a live concert? Well, I think it has been two years already. I missed the sound, I missed the noise and most of all I missed attending live events. 

Thankfully, technology is friendly enough to get through us right before the pandemic that is why after realizing that we won't be having physical concerts and events for a time being, technology pave way for a new norm of enjoying music. 

Get ready for a night of soaring anthems and classic sing-alongs as kumu live and GNN hold a virtual concert featuring some of the finest Filipino singer-songwriters of all time.

Dubbed ALPAS, the digital show not only aims to bring live performances for the streaming public, but also promises music fans to experience a semblance of ‘concert’ normalcy in an intimate, stripped-down setting.

Renowned alternative/pop-rock/folk icons Aia de Leon, Barbie Almalbis, Kitchie Nadal, Ebe Dancel, Johnoy Danao and Bullet Dumas mark their first time to co-headline a show together, performing as both solo artists and collaborators. The six music acts are also set to perform as a group in a special medley number arranged and produced by award-winning musical director, Ronaldo Tomas.

With new security and health protocols in place, the virtual showcase will be shot at the outdoor area of Conspiracy Garden Café, an iconic music venue that is home to several music greats and independent bands, and in Madrid, Spain where Kitchie Nadal is currently based.

As expected, Nadal is excited to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime collaboration, and has all the great words to say about the upcoming online show. “I’m excited to work with the artists that I admire in the music industry. It’s an opportunity that I wouldn’t want to miss.” Barbie Almalbis explains that this is as close to playing for a live audience, and that performing in Conspiracy again makes her feel nostalgic. “I’m more than happy to share the stage with the artists that I look up to, and hopefully, the energy and enthusiasm would resonate with the music fans once they see it on the virtual screen. It’s something that we’ve worked hard for.”

Aia, Barbie and Kitchie (ABK) have staged a sold-out, collaborative concerts at the Music Museum in 2016 and 2017, and held a benefit online show in 2020 to raise funds for the employees of indie music venues in Metro Manila. Ebe, Johnoy, and Bullet (3D) on the other hand, have performed as 3D, and went on to headline three, sold-out concerts: twice at the Music Museum in 2015 and 2016, and at the Kia Theatre in 2018. These concerts were organized and produced by GNN.


 
Bullet Dumas admits that he missed performing, and that ALPAS came at the right time when everyone needs a source of entertainment to keep them going while public life is on lockdown. “I haven't performed in an actual show since early pandemic,” the young music virtuoso shares in a statement. “People in the live events industry are barely surviving, so this opportunity from KUMU and GNN means a lot to me. And I know how a simple show can move people especially in this crazy era of our lives.”

Johnoy Danao admits that this is the very first time since 2020 that 3D will be reunited together, and he wouldn’t want to miss it for the world. He’s also looking forward to working with Aia, Barbie and Kitchie on this special project. “It’ll be the first time that all of us are performing together, so I think that’s something to look forward to.”

When asked about what makes ALPAS worth watching despite the lack of an actual “live” audience, Aia De Leon takes pride in what the virtual concert stands for especially in the time of pandemic. “ALPAS is your connection to something real. When the songs hit home, this is your connection to the memory as well as the future promise of the live gig experience.”

Ebe Dancel echoes Aia’s sentiments, stressing the importance of music in forging a sense of community amidst the most challenging of times. “People, in my opinion, will always need music. As much as we miss the live audience, this will have to do for now. Someday, somehow, we will all see each other again.”

ALPAS: A Digital Concert is set to premiere on June 5, 2021 from 6pm onwards. Tickets to ALPAS are now available for purchase via kumu, with a price of P499 for general admission. For details on how to buy tickets, go to this site: www.kumu.live

3 Things You Need to Know About Expenses, Mortgages, Loans, and Insurances

6/02/2021 12:19:00 AM

 

We all came to this world bearing nothing but our skins. The only difference is the status of our family in this world. As for me, I live with simple things in life. During my toddler years, there are no disposable diapers, only the washable cloth ones. In other words, we live a simple life.

Even though life is simple still, part of our lives is complicated. An aspect that requires responsibility just like the line in Spiderman, "great power comes with great responsibility." It is indeed true, but I prefer to say that "life comes with great responsibility."

Well-off or miserable, we all need to be responsible for how we experience our lives. I remember my younger days adulting is not even a term to use but more of maturity. If you're responsible, you are becoming mature. Now, adulting is a term being used to identify your maturity.

Speaking of adulting, this comes with different responsibilities in life. One of the main aspects of being an adult is financial planning. If you know how to plan your finances, you'll eventually live your life to the fullest. With this, there are plenty of personalities who talk about planning your life and your finances. One of the well-known inspirational speakers and advocates of financial literacy is Bro. Bo Sanchez. Bo Sanchez has written several books that not only inspire but also teach about life and money. There's also Chinkee Tan, who teaches about finances also.

Life or adulting is more about expenses and a bit of fun and leisure. I remember when I was working in the corporate world, I always see deductions from my paycheck. But what's more interesting is the monthly expenses that need to be addressed, like bills, mortgages, loans, insurances, and other expenditures that can uplift your life.

Since adulting is real, I'll be sharing some of the points that I somehow understand. I'm not here to describe the details about expenses, mortgages, loans, and insurances, but the mere facts about it.

  • Expenses, Mortgages, Loans, and Insurances are not considered as expenses but as your investment. Well, for me, I thought of these as actually my investment in life. We spend money because we want to live, and having our monthly groceries is actually nourishing the body. As for the Mortgages and Insurances, we are just assuring ourselves about our future.
  • The expenses, mortgages, loans, and insurances help you understand life and its purpose. It's not always about the money but its value. That is why it is significant to learn how to compute them and calculate the money you have to pay for these expenses. Though there are available ready computations on the internet, you still need to find the right one that matches your need. As for me, I find Calculator.me practical for all my financial calculations.
  • Expenses, mortgages, loans, and insurances are to consider as experiences. As for me, I remember the times that I have to provide an amount to pay for the expenses. These are encounters in our life that teaches us to cope with the hardship of life.

These are simply guides that you can adapt and learn about adulting. Or ignore it if you want, but what's important is that you have read it. Hopefully, you learned something from it.

Andrea Brillantes Cried After Her First Livestream, Doubting If She Will Do It Again!

5/31/2021 09:00:00 AM

 

Few days before the Virtual Media Conference of the upcoming iWantTFC anthology series "Click Like Share," one of The Gold Squad members, Andrea Brillantes, made a buzz on social media about her crying scene. The crying was because of her first-ever Game Livestream, in which she played Mobile Legend Bang Bang or MLBB. Andrea detailed her crying video at the media conference, where I asked the question.

"Kailan lang diba nagpost ka na umiiyak ka regarding dun sa first Livestream mo, first game Livestream mo. Kamusta naman yong experience mo dun sa game Livestream mo na umabot ng 600K yong views nya? Ano yong reaction mo dun? Binasa mo ba yong mga comments? (Recently, you posted your crying scene regarding your first Livestream, first game Livestream. How was the experience doing the game Livestream that garnered 600K views? What was your reaction to it? Did you read the comments?)"

Andrea openly shared her experience and struggle in doing the Livestream. From preparations up to the actual stream.

“Sa totoo lang po, hindi po ako marunong sa mga techie na stuff po. Wala pa yung live stream hirap na po ako. Wala pa po yung live stream hirap na po akong magsetup ang daming kailangan i-download, ang daming kailangan ayusin. Dun pa lang po pa-give up na ko kasi hindi nahahandle ng utak ko yon eh. Sanay ako sa script, monologue, hindi ako sanay sa mga kyime kyime na ganyan. Tapos hindi pa po maayos yong wifi connection ko kaya umabot sa three parts yong livestream ko kasi hindi kinaya ng wifi ko. Pero hindi ano na lang, kailangan ko ito gawin. Dun na lang ako kumapit. Tapos ginawa ko na yong first live stream. Kabadong kabado ho talaga ako kasi ayaw kong naglilivestream kasi bilang artista marami na agad magco-comment sayo artista lang ang pangit hindi marunong maglaro, tapos magli-livestream ako GrandMaster lang naman po ako. Hindi po ako magaling at inaamin ko naman po yon eh. Pero kasi kilala ko mga tao sa FB kahit mga simpleng bagay pagtatawanan ka nila. "



Though Andrea was not into live streaming, the best part is she put up her courage to go live with her game. It always takes that single step in doing the things unfamiliar to us.

According to Andrea, her live stream had three parts because of two things, one, she's not familiar or doesn't have any idea of what to say, and, second, was because of a bad internet connection that made one of her games went lagging.

“Tapos nung natapos na sabi ko, “hay tapos na.” Tapos pagtingin ko ng views umabot po ako ng 470K plus and sobrang thankful po ako.”

And when she finally finished the whole stream, her mistake was to read the comments. Unfortunately, there are undesirable comments that made her cry.

“Tapos ang pagkakamali ko tumingin po ako sa comments, tapos ang dami nilang sinabi na mag regen ako, pero umuwi, basta ang dami. Tapos tumakbo po ako, tapos umiyak lang po ako sa mama ko. As in umiiyak ako the whole time. Sabi ko, “Ma, feeling ko napahiya talaga ako. Nahihiya talaga ako.”


So, whether she would have another try to live stream, her response is, “Malaking bayad po para mapa-oo ako. Ayaw ko na ulit, nahihiya po talaga ako. (It will take a big amount of talent fee before I'll do it again. I'm really embarrassed.)”

After the interview, she did mention that she'll be having a round-up MLBB game with AkoSiDogie, one of the known gamer in the Philippines.

Andrea Brillantes, together with The Gold Squad team, Kyle Echarri, Francine Diaz, and Seth Fedelin, stars in each of this Anthology Series "Click Like Share" together with some of the members of the Squad Plus.
