It's another year and we're going to see another season of Pia Wurtzbach's Pia's Postcards. Pia Wurtzbach returns to Japan to embark on yet another remarkable adventure on the second season of “Pia’s Postcards,” this time exploring a fragment of the land of the rising sun’s quiet countryside—Saga.

The beauty queen helps shine the spotlight on the small prefecture in Kyushu, most famous for being the so-called origin of ceramics in Japan, and for its hot springs. People who are looking to retreat a little from the hustle and bustle of the city life and who generally prefer a more low-key destination may just find comfort in this place.


Join Pia as she visits Cat Café Coron, a charming café which shelters rescued cats, all of which are available for adoption. She also tries her hand in ceramics making, even painting one herself, as well as dropping by Takezaki Fish Port and The Floating Torii Gate of Ouo Shine, which stands on a shallow area of the ocean in Tara-cho.

 
The lovely host also stops by Hirakawaya, a place popular for its Onsen Yudofu (onsen tofu), a Japanese tofu hot pot boiled with hot spring water that’s a known specialty of the Ureshino Onsen area. She also digs in on some tofu ice cream for the very first time.


The trip also takes Queen P to her very first hot air balloon ride, an experience that gives her a peek into where the largest international hot air balloon competition in Asia—the Saga International Balloon Fiesta—is being held, usually in late October to early November of every year.


Now on its 2nd season, “Pia’s Postcards” has brought the country’s third Miss Universe across fascinating local and foreign destinations where she immerses herself in the wonderful culture of the places she visits. She has previously reveled in Philippine festivals such as the Pahiyas in Quezon and Higalaay in Cagayan de Oro, as well as witnessed the mesmerizing Jinhae Gunhangje Cherry Blossom Festival in South Korea.

But moving on from the hurt is not easy, and uncertainties abound especially with opening oneself to another person again.

Ai Ai Delas Alas' Transition From Tanging Ina to Tanging Ninang

1/14/2020 01:07:00 AM

Ai Ai Delas Alas is back to bring into the big screen her known brand of comedy, humor that tickles your funny bone with a story that will touch your heart. From her blockbuster fame movie Tanging Ina (2003), which spawned several sequels and rip-offs, she is now up for another wacky comedy with a heart. She is now playing a new role, which is equally important as the mother, the Tanging Ninang, with the movie titled D' Ninang.


This is the first movie of AiAi Delas Alas for the year with Regal Entertainment, Inc., and it is also the opening salvo for 2020. It can be recalled that AiAi's last movie with Regal Entertainment was the highly successful film "Our Mighty Yaya" in 2017.


This year, in D' Ninang, AiAi will portray a pickpocketer with a big heart. A different character from her usual straight motherly roles.

While it is apparent that her character is guilty of wrongdoing, Ninang extends help to her community. This is where she appears to be everybody's godmother, thus they refer to her as Ninang. More of a modern female version of Robin Hood.



She also takes under her wing a couple of proteges, who are also pickpocketers (Angel Guardian, Kiray Celis) but still guided by Ninang's unconventional way of living.

Her life suddenly takes a different twist when she finds her long-lost daughter Mikhai, which is played by Kisses Delavin, who decides to live with her.


However, AiAi's daughter, Mikhai is unaware of her mom's illegal business. This is the irony of it, her daughter wants to pursue a career in punishing the crooks.

Will their love for each other prevail learning that both of them have flaws?

The movie D' Ninang is a heartwarming story about human relationships and one's struggles to keep the goodness in her heart despite hardships in life. It tackles about continuing the fire of hope burning and one's unwavering belief to change for the better.

D' Ninang hits close to home as far as Filipino family values are concerned.


With Superb cast headed by the Comedy Queen herself, D' Ninang is expected to appeal to viewers craving for a heartwarming family comedy story and eventually become a box office hit.


It also stars, Joey Marquez, Kiray Celis, McCoy de Leon, Kelvin Miranda, Lou Veloso, and Angel Guardian. The movie is directed by GB Sampedro. D' Ninang will hit cinemas on January 22, 2020.

Richard Jewell, A Critically-Acclaimed Film of Clint Eastwood on Ortigas Cinema

1/11/2020 02:11:00 PM

Watching movies and films give us a sense of belongingness to the story we are watching. It is an experience that most films ought to give to their audience as if it is real, and we are part of that story.

Ortigas Cinema welcomes moviegoers to its brand new movie theater with a hint of luxury and elegance. The cinema just opened last November 2019 it gives a distinctive experience for everyone.

Movie buffs will enjoy watching blockbusters form this first every Ortigas Cinemas, with ultra-comfortable seats, and world-class facilities. With Bold golden accents and a hint of class and modernity, it houses a total of 4 regular cinemas and 2 premier cinemas called The Screening Room. Even the snack bar aptly called Rell Bites veers off the traditional quirky look and instead employs a sparkly look that is just as modern, blending seamlessly into the overall glam of the interiors.

All cinemas are equipped with world-class seats to offer the comfort that elevates the movie experience. For "The Screening Room," seats are extra luxe with plush recliners with adjustable foot and backrests. Truly, these were designed to go beyond style and cater to movie patrons and provide maximum comfort for the ultimate movie experience that's truly distinct to Estancia.

This January, a week before its Philippine Release, Ortigas Cinemas housed the advanced screening of the critically acclaimed Clint Eastwood-produced and directed film, "Richard Jewell."


Eastwood wanted to honor Richard Jewell's life as an everyday hero, even after being publicly thrown to the wolves by the public in 1996. Working as a security guard during the Atlanta Olympics, it was Jewell who found a suspicious bag that contained an incendiary device. With little time to spare, he helps evacuate the area, saving many lives and minimizing potential injuries. He is hailed a hero. But just three days later, the humble savior's life unravels when he - and the world - learn he is the FBI's prime suspect in the bombing.

What might read as the makings of a suspense thriller are not the imaginings of a creative mind, but were, in fact, the life-shattering reality for the real Richard Jewell. Ironically, thanks to his selfless act, for 88 days, Jewell lived with an invasive FBI investigation, public scrutiny spurred by unrelenting press coverage, and the uncertainty that his name would ever be cleared, or his life ever be the same.

Critically acclaimed and currently has a 75% Fresh Rating at Rotten Tomatoes, "Richard Jewell" has been chosen by America's National Board of Review as one of the Ten Best Films of 2019. The same organization has honored "Richard Jewell" cast members Kathy Bates with a Best Supporting Actress prize, and Paul Walter Hauser with a Breakthrough Performance Award.


Kathy Bates has also been nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the recent Golden Globes Awards.
