THE TRUTH ABOUT PIOLO PASCUAL!

While some people insisted on creating as much noise as possible before 2011 wrapped up (it was New Year’s, after all), and setting tongues wagging once 2012 rang in (might be those weird feng shui forecasts), there was one person who mysteriously kept mum in the middle of this ruckus: Piolo Pascual. In spite of being front and center in most entertainment headlines, the darling leading man drew as little attention to himself as possible, choosing instead to focus on upcoming projects. This week, Supreme shares a little quiet time with the man fondly referred to as “Papa P” in order to out what’s been keeping him so busy — and so silent.SUPREME: 2011 was a tumultuous year not just for you, but for a lot of people. When people are going through certain difficulties, they talk about it, but you chose to keep quiet.

GMA NETWORK CLAIMS TO BE THE MOST COST EFFICIENT TV NETWORK IN PHL!

It's all systems go for broadcast giant GMA Network, Inc. (GMA) this Year of the Dragon.

At the recently concluded star-studded trade presentations, the premier Filipino multimedia company rolled out its key projects for 2012, which can provide the best platform to deliver its partner-advertisers' key messages.

GMA proved to be the most cost-efficient channel amid stiff competition, as its parent company GMA Channel 7 earns the distinction of being the national ratings frontrunner among competing local free-to-air stations, based on data from broadcast industry's more trusted ratings service provider Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.

ABS-CBN BIG WINNER IN THE 2012 GANDINGAN AWARDS!

MANILA, Philippines – Broadcast giant ABS-CBN once again dominated the recently concluded 2012 Gandingan Awards held at the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) in Laguna on Saturday night.

Several ABS-CBN shows were recognized based on the survey of 1,000 students of UPLB.

Among the awards ABS-CBN received are:

SHOWBIZ INSIDE REPORT BAGONG HAHAMON SA STARTALK!

Mukhang seryoso na ang Dos sa pagpapatibay ng kanilang mga programa. Unti-unti na nilang tinatanggal ang mga mahihinang programa partikular na sa daytime kung saan milya milya na ang layo ng GMA at unti unti nang nakakahabol ang TV5. Kamakialan lang ay napabalitang papalitan na ang naghihingalong noontime show ng kapamilya network na HYY. Ngyon naman maugong ang balitang hanggang ngayong Sabado na lang mapapanood ang E-Live dahil papalitan na ito ng bagong program next Saturday na SIR (Showbiz Inside Report) hosted by Janice de Belen, Carmina Villarroel and Ogie Diaz. Sa mga pagbabagong ito sa ABS-CBN ano kaya ang magiging takbo ng laban sa pagitan ng tatlong higanteng istasyon?

HAPPY YIPEE YEHEY TO FINALLY BID GOODBYE ON FEB. 4!

Hanggang sa February 4 na lang ang noontime show ng ABS-CBN na Happy Yipee Yehey!.

Kinumpirma ito ng head ng Corporate Communications ng ABS-CBN na si Bong Osorio, sa pamamagitan ng e-mail na ipinadala sa PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ngayong gabi, January 26.

GMA GUSTONG IFREEZE SI IWA PARA HINDI PAKINABANGAN NG TV5?

As of presstime, walang magagawa ang TV5 o kahit si Willie Revillame para ampunin na nang tuluyan si Iwa Moto at bigyan ito ng project. May pagbabanta ang letter na ipinadala ng GMA 7 sa TV5 na kapag ipinagpatuloy ng istasyon ang pagkuha kay Iwa para maging contract artist ng Kapatid network, haharap sa isang legal battle ang istasyon.

Hanggang ngayon, nakatali pa rin sa kontrata si Iwa sa GMA at kailangan niyang hintayin na mag-expire ito bago siya lumipat ng ibang network. Handa na sana ang Willtime Bigtime ni Willie na gawing semi-regular co-host si Iwa sa show, pero dahil sa ipinadalang letter ng GMA 7, naudlot ang magandang opportunity na mapapasakamay dapat ng sexy actress.

GMA NETWORK BOOKS OVER 70% OF TARGET AD REVENUE FOR 2012!

After a challenging year, broadcast giant GMA Network Inc. is optimistic that the next 12 months would be better for the company on the back of the improvement in its nationwide ratings and the anticipated increase in ad spending.

GMA Network chairman and CEO Felipe Gozon said political “advocacy” placements toward the end of 2012, ahead of the 2013 mid-term elections, would help lift profits.

WILLIE GUSTONG BUMALIK SA DOS?

May lumabas na bulung-bulungan na tila nagpapahiwatig ng kagustuhang bumalik sa ABS-CBN ng Wiltime Bigtime Host na si Willie Revillame.

Alinsunod sa maugong na balitang pagpapahinga ng Happy Yipee Yehey na kasalukuyang noontime show ng Dos, nagpakita naman ng interes ang kampo ni Willie upang makuha muli ang naturang timeslot.

Ayon sa aking sources, may kumausap na staff ni Willie sa mga kasalukuyang production team ng HYY kung ano ang pwedeng gawin upang makausap ng kampo nila ang pamunuan ng Dos.

IZA OFFICIALLY SEALS CONTRACT WITH ABS-CBN!

This is time for me to grow, to evolve, to learn."

Ito ang naging pahayag ng actress-TV host na si Iza Calzado tungkol sa kanyang desisyong lumipat mula sa GMA-7 patungong ABS-CBN.

Matatandaan na noong Disyembre 23 pa lang, inanunsiyo ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal)—sa pamamagitan ng PEP Alerts—ang paglipat ni Iza at ng isa pang dating Kapuso na si Carmina Villarroel sa bakuran ng Kapamilya network.

ELIVE TITIGBAKIN NA RIN BA?

From PEP Scoopbox: Liban sa Happy Yipee Yehey!, kalat na sa Kapamilya network na tutuldukan na rin ang E-Live. Ang E-Live ay ang ABS-CBN Saturday afternoon showbiz talk show na katapat ng StarTalk  sa GMA-7. Nagsimula ang E-Live noong Agosto 4, 2007, with hosts Toni Gonzaga, Mariel Rodriguez, at Bianca Gonzales. Ang kasalukuyang hosts nito ay sina Luis Manzano, Bianca Gonzales, Nikki Gil, at Ogie Diaz. Matapos ng mahigit na apat na taon, ang show na dominated ng young hosts, ay magsasara na.

EUGENE AT VICE GANDA MAGSASANIB PWERSA SA ABS-CBN!

Ayon pa sa balita, ang host ng programa na si Vice Ganda daw mismo ang nagdesisyon na palitan ang format ng show niya at pansamantalang magpahinga. Hinde na nga raw talk show ang magiging format ng show ni Vice.

Napapagod o nahihirapan na raw si Vice na magpatawa ng mag-isa kaya parang gu...sto niyang magkaroon ng makakasamang co-host. Ayon sa source ko ang nagbabalik Kapamilya na si Eugene Domingo ang makakasama niya.

Naku sana nga ang totoo ang tsikang makakasama niya si Eugene sa season 2 ng show niya kasi bongga yan ha pero I'm sure di na 'Gandang Gabi Vice' ang magiging title nito. At balita ko ipapalit ito sa drama anthology ni Toni Gonzaga na papalit naman pansamantala sa 'Wansapanataym'.

WILL KRIS AQUINO'S MOVIE WITH GMA FILMS MATCH SEGUNDA MANO'S BLOCKBUSTER SALES?!

Nakipag-meeting na noong isang araw sina Atty. Annette Gozon at Joey Abacan kay Kris Aquino para siguro sa gagawing pelikula ng TV host-actress sa GMA Films kapalit nang pagpayag ng film outfit na gawin ni Dingdong ang Segunda Mano. Kumita ang Segunda Mano ng mahigit sa P100 million na nilagpasan pa ang highly budgeted film ng GMA Films na Panday 2.

 Inatasan ni Atty. Gozon ang anak na abogada na gumawa ng 12 pelikula ang GMA Films ngayong 2012. Ang tanong nalang, mapapantayan kaya ng GMA Films ang kinita ng Star Cinema sa Segunda Mano?

Magkakaroon na ng sarili niyang musical show sa ABS-CBN si Sarah Geronimo.

Ang magiging titulo nito ay Sarah G. Live! at mapapanood ito tuwing Linggo ng gabi simula sa Pebrero.

Kinumpirma mismo ni Sarah ang balitang ito sa thanksgiving party niya para sa press kagabi, January 18.

Ginanap ang pagdiriwang sa pag-aari ng mga Geronimo na Imo's Pancit Malabon restaurant, sa may Mindanao Avenue, Quezon City.

CARMINA AT JANICE DE BELEN GAGAWA NG TALK SHOW SA DOS? KRIS TV TIGBAK NA BA?

Natuloy ang pagpirma ng kontrata ni Carmina Villarroel sa ABS-CBN last Monday at super saya ang aktres dahil muling nakita ang mga taong matagal niyang nakatrabaho noong Kapamilya talent pa siya.

To welcome Carmina back, maggi-guest siya sa Sunday sa ASAP Rocks at sa The Buzz at malalaman kung totoo na siya ang papalit kay KC Concepcion sa talk show. Itinanggi ito ng kampo ng aktres, pero mabuting siya na ang mag-deny o kumumpirma.

Inilatag na rin ang mga projects na gagawin ni Carmina sa ABS-CBN at kasama rito ang soap nila ni Zaijian “Santino” Jaranilla na may working title na Frozen Boy. Gagawa rin sila ng talk show ni Ja­nice de Belen na balik-ABS-CBN na rin.

TV5 OFFERS DEREK RAMSY TO HOST THE AMAZING RACE! WILL DEREK ACCEPT THE OFFER?

Goodbye na ba sa Kapamilya Network ang hunk na si Derek Ramsay? Balitang siya ang magi­ging host ng Philippine edition ng The Amazing Race na ang franchise ay nakuha ng TV5.

Well good luck sa kanya. Sana nga ma-duplicate ng kumpanya ni Manny V. Pangilinan ang magandang pag-aalaga at pag-build up na ginawa sa kanya ng Kapami...lya Network.

Pero wala pa namang official statement si Derek tungkol dito.

GANDANG GABI VICE PAPALITAN NA!

Mukhang hindi desisyon ng ABS-CBN ang pagpapalit ng format ng Sunday show ni Vice Ganda kun­di ni Vice na mismo. Pagod na raw yata ito sa pag­papatawa kaya ang gusto naman niyang pagtuunan ng pansin ay ang kanyang pagkanta.

Huling Linggo na ng Gandang Gabi Vice sa Ling­go (Jan. 22). Pagkatapos nito, ibang format na. Tanging si Vice lamang ang mare-re...tain, ang lahat ng tungkol sa show ay mapapalitan kasama na ang titulo nito.

ATTY. GOZON ADMITS HE PERSONALLY WANTS TO SELL GMA-7!

...
“Personally, for me, GMA is for sale for the right price. I don’t solely own GMA but for me that’s what I can say,” Gozon said.

COURT ORDERS THE ARREST OF RAMONA REVILLA ON RAMGEN DEATH CASE!

Naghain ng "NOT GUILTY" plea si RJ Bautista at dalawa pang akusado sa kasong pagpatay kay Ramgen Revilla at pagbaril sa nobya nitong si Janelle Manahan.

With much anticipation leading up to the finale of GMA Network's first-ever epic series, Amaya, the program landed on Twitter's list of most discussed topic worldwide and even locally last Friday, January 13.

CLAUDINE SINUMBATAN ANG GMA SA PAGBAGSAK NG KANYANG CAREER?!

KARANIWAN nang ugali nating mga Pinoy ang naghahanap ng tao o bagay na maaari nating pagbuntunan ng sisi sa anumang kapalpakan sa buhay, call it “passing the buck” or looking for a convenient scapegoat to get away from it all.

Masasabing swak sa hulmahang ito si Claudine Barretto na—pagsisihan man o hindi ng GMA—ay sinalo nila mula sa ABS-CBN.

Claudine traces her roots to Channel 2, isa nga sa mga pinakamalungkot sa kanyang pag-alis doon ay si Mr. M or Johnny Manahan who heads the ABS-CBN Star Magic. Pero ang mas nakalulungkot was Claudine’s fate over at GMA, na nitong 2011 ay nakaisang programa lang—ang Iglot—that barely lasted for three months.

AMAYA TOPS AD LOADS BATTLE! BUT ABS-CBN RULES THE PRIMETIME AD MARKET OVERALL!

GMA's most expensive project to date,the P150-million historical epic series AMAYA, proved to be a worthwhile investment as it lured in the most number of advertisement in prime time! It cashed in tons of support form advertisers totaling over 52 product placements or 18.5 ad minutes last January 13, 2012. It easily shy off ABS-CBN's Ikaw ay Pag-ibig with a decent 45 product placements or 15.75 ad minutes. This is despite the fact that IAP leads AMAYA in the National Urban Ratings!

PFF SEALS P300 MILLION WORTH OF CONTRACT WITH ABS-CBN!

The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) will be signing a 4 year contract extension with ABS-CBN worth 300 Million Pesos. They still want ABS-CBN to air the games and other football related activities of the Philippine Azkals this year on-wards.

The president of the PFF, Mr. Mari...ano “Nonong” Araneta said that:

“They (ABS-CBN) had a better offer. TV5 also tabled an offer to the PFF but the Federation’s Board opted for ABS-CBN, which held the rights to Azkals matches starting last year during the AFC Challenge Cup."

GMA-7 BAD SHOTS VICE GANDA?!

Insulto ba yung pagtanggi ng GMA 7 na i-guest si Vice Ganda?

Kung kami ang tatanungin, hindi.

Nakiusap kami sa isang radio broadcaster ng DZBB kung puwedeng papuntahin ang mga taga-Fontana Leisure Parks para i-plug ang Party…Party with Vice Ganda concert nila, pero tumanggi sila. Kesyo, hindi raw puwede si Vice Ganda dahil obviously nga naman, prime talent ito ng ABS-CBN na kalaban nilang network.

VIC SOTTO TO REPLACE KRIS AQUINO IN DEAL OR NO DEAL?

IPINAPAKITA NA ang teaser ng Kapamilya Deal Or No Deal, pero wala pang eksaktong date kung kelan ang pilot.

Nagpapa-audition na rin sila para sa mga kukuning taga-hawak ng attache case o 26k.

Ang alam ng marami, it’s still Kris Aquino who will be hosting the game show. Hanggang sa lumutang ang pangalan ni Bossing Vic Sotto na siya raw kapalit ni Mareng Kris.

Me source naman kaming nakausap ni Bossing at ang sabi lang daw nito, “Sana nga, pero wala pa namang nakikipag-usap sa akin, eh.”

HAPPY YIPEE YEHEY TITIGBAKIN NA?

Mabilis na kumalat ang balitang tatanggalin na sa ere ang Happy Yipee Yehey! Ito ay matapos mabigo ang programa na makakuha ng magandang ratings. Mula nang magsimula ang noon time show ay hindi pa nito nagawang maungusan ang katapat na programa na Eat Bulaga. Maging sa National Ratings ay hirap itong mangalahati sa EB kaya naman hindi gaanong kumikita ang nasabing show. Ayon pa sa isang artikulo sa pahayagang Bandera suko na diumano ang Dos sa pagsisikap nitong paangatin ang ratings ng nasabing programa. 

ABS-CBN REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE DOJ'S DECISION! SWEARS TO APPEAL THE CASE TO CA!

GMA earlier petitioned with the Supreme Court its P100-million civil damages case for libel lodged against ABS-CBN for the aforementioned defamatory statements.

KC CONCEPTION LEAVES THE BUZZ FOR X FACTOR!

Lilisanin na ni KC Concepcion ang Sunday showbiz talk show ng ABS-CBN na The Buzz. Ito ay matapos ang halos dalawang taon niyang pamamalagi sa programa. Nagsimula si KC noong April 11, 2010. Bago ito ay ilang linggo ring hindi napanood si KC sa The Buzz, sa gitna ng kontrobersiya sa breakup nila ni Piolo Pascual. 

Pero kahapon, January 8, ay bumalik si KC sa naturang programa upang magpaalam. Ipinakilala rin siya bilang host ng X Factor Philippines. Si Boy Abunda ang nag-interview kay KC bilang isang guest. Bungad ng actress-TV host, "I feel at home. Siyempre, itong The Buzz, palagi siyang magiging at home sa akin. "Kanina pumapasok ako, naghahanap ako ng lapel. "Sabi ko, 'Wala na pala akong lapel, kasi guest na pala ako, Tito Boy.' 

PIOLO PASCUAL FINALLY SPEAKS UP: HINDI AKO BAKLA!

After months of silence, Piolo Pascual finally speaks up and denies online rumors about his true sexuality. The Kapamilya Star defends himself willfully saying he is not GAY!

“I’d probably admit I’m a mama’s boy. If people say I’m effeminate, then that’s okay because that’s the way my mom brought me up. But she also brought me up to be independent, focused and spiritual. I know myself and I know I’m not gay,”

GMA FILMS TO PRODUCE ONE FILM A MONTH IN 2012 TO CHALLENGE STAR CINEMA!

In an interview with GMA CEO Atty. Felipe Gozon, the Network executive confirmed its aggressive plans for GMA Films this 2012! When it comes to movies, ABS-CBN’s Star Cinema is more prolific than them. “I have to admit that mas magaling sila when it comes to making movies so dahan-dahan muna kami, but our time will come. I told my daughter (Annette Gozon-Abrogar) that our goal should be to have one new movie each month.”

GMA EXECUTIVES NOT HAPPY WITH CLAUDINE'S TRANSFER TO GMA?

In an article by Mario Bautista of Journal Online, GMA Executives seemed to show regrets of pirating Ms. Claudine Baretto from ABS-CBN!!

GMA Chiarman and CEO Atty. Felipe L Gozon and Ms. Wilma Galvante were interviewed by entertainment reporters in a disclosure for GMA's new line up of shows. They were asked if they feel happy with Claudine's transfer as a Kapuso Star, but the said executives declined to comment. This gesture strongly sends an impression of not being satisfied with Claudine's performance in the Kapuso Network. 

It can be remembered that Claudine's very first project in GMA entitled "CLAUDINE" posted phenomenally low ratings for the particular time slot even in Mega Manila. Its very recent prime time series, IGLOT, although with a decent viewrship, failed to attract advertisers posting one of the lowest ad minutes for a Prime time program.

If the prime time royalty accepts the offer from the Kapatid Network, her reputation might be in danger as she will be known to prioritize Money over Loyalty. 

IZA TO HOST BIGGEST LOSER SEASON II!

Channel 2 ang may standing offer kay Iza at inilatag na sa kanya ang ilang projects na gagawin niya. Ilan dito ay isang drama series na ilalahok ng network sa Emmys, quarterly guesting sa Maalaala Mo Kaya, at pati movies na gagawin sa Star Cinema ay kasado na.
