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.

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.
