For all Silent Sanctuary fans out there, Kwento Ni Toto shares another release from the group.  After the success of their first 2 singles from their album “Monodramatic”, Silent Sanctuary returns to their roots of bittersweet melodies with the release of their new single “Sa’Yo”. The 4-minute song, according to songwriter Sarkie Sarangay, was inspired by a friend’s story of being uncertain in this thing called love. It has two versions in the album, the full band and the orchestral version.

Here's an interview made with the group to know more about the new single and video.

A great way to rock the culminating of the second quarter of 2014, Kwento Ni Toto shares an upcoming hilarious family comedy film from Skylight Films that brings together Zanjou Marudo and Pokwang in the movie entitled "My Illegal Wife.

For Skylight Films, Zanjoe and Pokwang are considered as their king and queen because of the success of their respective movies in 2013.  Zanjoe starred in the Wenn V. Deramas comedy "Bromance" where he played dual roles of an identical twins with two different genders.  While Pokwang on the other hand made waves in her crazy role in Don Cuaresma's "Call Centr Girl" where she portrayed the role of Teresa – a mother who goes all-out to win back the affections of her estranged daughter.

Living in a place where you can call home is what Kwento Ni Toto is longing for, an owned space for the family to enjoy and grow old. At present, many Filipinos are struggling to find their dream houses and most of them are considering different factors such as location, affordability and environment which determine whether a house can be turned into a home. Fortunately for prospective homeowners scouting a great home to live with, property developer PRO-FRIENDS or Property Company of Friends Inc. strategically consider these elements in creating residential communities for Filipino families.

What does celebrity love teams should have? Well in Kwento Ni Toto's thought or should I say in almost everyone's thought, CHEMISTRY is what love teams should have and the love team of Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez gives that sweet tingling feeling whenever they are together. A romantic aura that's binding them together. The sweetness, the sparks in theirs eyes, and the cute laughs that they have makes them a great couple. Just like what writer-director Jun Lana describes them in their first big screen pairing in Regal Entertainment's romantic-comedy film entitled “So It's You.” He said that “Bagay sila!”

It always feels great to look back to where you came from and to what you have been through.  The hurdles and mazes of life that made you strong in facing life, those times that you almost give up and the hardships that you endure just to came out successful.  That's what makes success an important event to celebrate.

I remember my life as a student before.  How I tighten my belt just to cope up with the expenses and projects in school.  I remember budgeting Php50 a day going to school.  Dividing it for lunch, AM and PM snacks, and jeepney fare from Quezon City to Sta. Mesa.  It was indeed a struggle but I was able to made it and graduated from college.  It's not that much of a story but it was my life back in college.

That story is not much compared to the inspiring story of Coco Martin on how a simple waiter of Max's Restaurant become a well-known celebrity and the best of it is the endorser of the establishment where he once worked with.  From being a waiter at Max's Restaurant in 2000-2001 and now Coco Martin is one of the most respected actors in the country.
