KathNiel fans get '2 Good 2 Worry'

 KathNiel fans got real worried about how couple-loveteam Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla reacted towards each other during the '2 Good 2 Be True' Finale Mediacon. 

Speculations surfaced when their usual sweetness and thoughtfulness were nowhere to be found as the event took place. Fans had been very curious on how KathNiel had answered their interviews and how both stars facial expressions and body language shifted from the clingy and sweet couple to seemed-like strangers. They further believed that their gestures simply show that their relationship is on the rocks and got problems to consider and resolve.

Will Kathniel be included on the 'Break Up List' of the year?

Or was it simply a mere misunderstanding among the 'loyal' fans of KathNiel?

ABS-CBN brings more teleseryes to audiences in Africa and French territories

 ABS-CBN, the Philippines’ leading content provider, continues to bring its prime drama series to the international market with its hit series “La Vida Lena” and “The Blood Sisters” airing in Africa and French territories respectively.

The revenge-drama series “La Vida Lena” is the latest English-dubbed offering from ABS-CBN—now airing in Africa’s Sub-Saharan countries, including South Africa, Kenya, and Zambia via the StarTimes channel.

The show follows the story of Magda/Lena, a scarred woman seeking vengeance against a prominent business clan after taking everything away from her, including her life’s work and her dearest family.

Meanwhile, also making its way to France’s overseas territories is ABS-CBN’s drama series “The Blood Sisters,” with its French-dubbed version now airing in New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, Polynesia, and Reunion Island on France TV, the national channel in France.

The series revolves around the story of triplets, who uneventfully separated at birth due to a complicated affair—leaving the three to live drastically different lives and unaware of their true identities. Years later, the lost siblings cross paths in a series of mishaps and revelations as they are left to deal with their struggles, one sister at a time.

Apart from these recent feats, ABS-CBN continues making waves in global content distribution by bringing world-class Filipino content of all genres to foreign audiences in over 50 territories worldwide—selling over 50,000 hours of content, with most recently, inking a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery to air its lifestyle shows in different Asian countries.  

Other ABS-CBN programs that have aired in different parts of the world include “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” “Sandugo,” and “Bagong Umaga” in Africa; the 2015 remake of “Pangako Sa’Yo” in Latin America; and “Huwag Kang Mangamba” in Myanmar. Meanwhile, its series “Hanggang Saan” and “The Good Son” had its own drama adaptations in Turkey.

Living up to this recognition, ABS-CBN International Distribution commits to add to its line-up of high-caliber programs and movies with casts and storylines that appeal to various cultures.

'2 Good 2 Be True' Finale Mediacon

 Napagtanto na nina Eloy (Daniel Padilla) at Ali (Kathryn Bernardo) na pinaikot lang sila ni Helena (Gloria Diaz) nang ipinalabas nitong biktima rin siya tulad nila sa most watched series ng iWantTFC at Netflix Philippines na "2 Good 2 Be True."

Sa nalalapit na pagtatapos ng serye, sinabi ni Kathryn na kahit pa maganda ang tinatakbo ng serye ay tamang timing lang ang kanilang pagtatapos.

"As much as we want to extend it kasi may ganito kami kagandang show, every story talaga kailangan mag-end. So itong run namin, nakita lahat 'yung journey ng characters pati flashbacks at back story na tinahi sa present time,” kwento niya. “You just watch the finale, and you'll see what I'm saying. It's enough," dagdag niya.

Inamin naman ni Daniel na natakot siya nung una na baka hindi kagatin ng publiko ang kanilang comeback series. Hindi niya inakala na tatangkilikin pa rin sila ng manonood.

"Hindi ko inakala na tatanggapin ng ganito ang show namin na sobrang init kasi we have done many shows together," saad niya.

Nanatiling most-watched series ang 2G2BT sa Netflix PH at hindi naman din ito naaalis sa Top 10 shows ng iWantTFC simula noong Mayo. 

Huwag palampasin ang bawat eksena sa "2 Good 2 Be True" at panoorin ito ng advance sa Netflix Philippines o iWantTFC. Maari rin ito subaybayan sa A2Z, Kapamilya Channel, TV5, Kapamilya Online Live sa Facebook at YouTube, Jeepney TV, at TFC IPTV.

LOOK: Sarah G featured on Times Square billboard

 Sarah Geronimo has marked another milestone as she appeared on the iconic Times Tower billboard in New York City’s Time Square.

The country’s Pop Superstar was shown on the massive digital billboard as part of Spotify’s “Equal” campaign, which puts the spotlight on women creators on the platform from around the world.

In a social media post on Monday, Geronimo shared a photo of the billboard and expressed how honored she is to be featured in it.

"Thank you so much @spotifyph for this opportunity! So honored to be EQUAL PH's ambassador for October. Keep streaming the Spotify EQUAL PH playlist, and let's continue to celebrate women, no matter the day," she captioned her post.

Two weeks ago, Geronimo made headlines when she released her much-awaited comeback single "Dati-Dati."

Geronimo’s last studio album, “This 15 Me,” was released back in 2018, marking her 15th anniversary in showbiz. It remains to be seen if she will also release a new album.

Geronimo has been gradually returning to the limelight after two-year hiatus from television.

Notably, she resumed appearing on “ASAP Natin ‘To” in August with her monthly “Sarah G Specials” offerings — taped performances exclusively aired on the ABS-CBN program.

Geronimo took a break from showbiz in 2020 after getting married to Guidicelli.

Miyembro ng BGYO, balak din magtayo ng sariling negosyo

 MAYNILA -- Ibinahagi ng mga miyembro ng BGYO na sina Gelo, Akira, JL, Mikki at Nate kung ano ang mga pangarap nilang negosyo sa naging pagbisita nila sa "Magandang Buhay" nitong Martes.

"Ako po parang gusto ko pumasok sa food industry, mga cafe, restaurant. At gusto ko rin po magkaroon ng resort at commercial building someday," ani Akira.

"Ako ang dami ko rin pong naiisip pero clothing line, restaurant, multipurpose studio at, why not, parking din," ani naman Gelo.

"I want to open a car shop po because my lolo had a car shop since 1983 po," ani Nate.

"What comes to my mind po siguro ay fashion line or clothing line, somewhere sa fashion industry. Kasi ever since mahilig na po talaga ako sa fashion at mag-customize ng jewelry din po," ani naman Mikki.

"Ako po halos same sa kanila, gusto ko po magtayo ng sariling restaurant. At mahilig ako sa sapatos, as in sobrang addict ako sa sapatos," ani JL.

Sa ngayon patuloy ang pagsisikap ng BGYO para protektahan ang kanilang karera para sa kanilang mga pangarap.

"I think isa sa mga purpose kung bakit magkakasama kami sa isang bahay for how many years na po is para ma-remind namin ang isa't isa kung ano ang goal namin. Dapat lumiliyab pa rin ang apoy sa puso namin. At kung bakit namin ginagawa itong ginagawa namin, like 'yung purpose po namin," ani Gelo. 

Kamakailan lang ay inilabas ng BGYO ang kanilang bagong awitin na "Magnet."
