Marvin Agustin

Naka-tsika namin si Marvin Agustin  sa  Gateway, Cubao at tipong high ang single parent to two kids sa bagong kontrata niya ngayon sa TV 5 bilang host ng Artista Academy, ang pinakabago at pinakamagastos na reality show ng bansa.

      Co-host ni Marvin sa “Artista Academy” si Cesar Montano at ayon sa kanya ay sa July 30 na right after “Wil Time Big Time” ni Willie Revillame  ang grand premiere ng Artista Academy kung saan pipiliin out  16 finalists ang dalawang pair of lucky winners.

      To recall, 30 thousand ka-hopefuls ang nag-audition noon sa Araneta Coliseum out of which ay nag-short list sila. Ang na-short list na 16 ka hopefuls ay makikita na finally sa mismong show ni Marvin na “Artista Academy” kasama rito ang mga facilitators  tulad nila Directors Mac Alejandre and Joel Lamangan, musical director Louie Ocampo, Lorna Tolentino at ang may brainchild nito na si Wilma Galvante.

      Exciting ang premiere nito dahil dito huhugutin ang dalawang lucky winners out of the 16 finalists. Lalo pang exciting dahil ang pa -premyo ng TV5 na 20 million para sa dalawang winners ay unprecedented ever sa kasaysayan ng reality shows ng bansa. 

 Head of Creative & Entertainment Perci Intalan

 Sabi pa ng Head of Creative and Entertainment na si Perci Intalan, sigurado na ang respective career ng dalawang winners dahil naghihintay na sa kanila ang mga malalaking projects mula sa TV5

      Napag-usapan din namin ni Marvin Agustin ang tungkol sa kanyang ka-loveteam na si Jolina Magdangal. Simula kasing nabuwag ang kanilang loveteam ay parang tuluyan nang naglaho ang career ni Jolina. She’s neither here nor there ‘ika nga.

      Samantalang si Marvin ay lalong bumobongga ang career. Last year nakatatlong pelikula siya plus mga soap opera. Isa nito ay ang socially-relevant na “Patikul” kung saan nominated pa siya as Best Actor. 

Nasaan na nga ba  kaya si Jolina?  Sabi ng self-imposed loyalist ng King of Talk at ni Gov. Jeorge “ER” Ejercito Estregan na si Anthony Solis nasa kabilang channel raw at ga-join-join daw ng reality show roon si Jolina bilang judge, one of those daw sabay irap ni Anthony. Judge lang daw si Jolina samantalang si Marvin ay host as in big-time host sa pinakamalaking reality show pa ng bansa. Ang ibig lang sabihin ni Anthony ay napag-iwanan na ang dating ka-loveteam ni Marvin. Napag-iwanan na nga ba kaya si Jolens?

      Pinagmamalaki pa rin ni Anthony Solis na bilyonaryo na raw pala si Marvin Agustin dahil naka-12 branches na pala nationwide ang Japanese-inspired SumoSan restaurant ng actor. Idagdag pa riyan na nakapag-produce na rin si Marvin ng mga big-time concerts na ang mga artists ay mga dayuhan tulad nila Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5, Black Eyed Peas, etc.

      Two –year contract si Marvin sa TV5 na “guaranteed” at non-exclusive pa. Sa mga hindi nakakaalam ang ibig sabihin ng “guaranteed” ay magsu-sweldo si Marvin kahit wala na siyang gagawin pa sa nasabing network. Of course marami ring nakalaang trabaho para kay Marvin sa TV 5 tulad ng pelikula, hosting ng shows, soap opera, etc.

      Tinanong namin kung napaghandaan na ba niya ang pagho-host ng “Artista Academy”? Matagal na raw niya itong napaghandaan maliban sa nakapasok na siya ng  maraming TV hosting workshops  in the past  under Boy Abunda, Freddie Santos, etc.

      Last question, ano ang sikreto ng staying power mo bilang artista at negosyante?

“ Iisa lang ang sikreto ko. In everything I do I take it not as a kind work or hard work that is,  but one I do out of pure love. Hindi trabaho ang tingin ko kundi, gustong-gusto ko talagang gawin ang mga ganitong trabaho bilang artista at negosyante. Kaya siguro ganun na lang ang pagpapahalaga at pagmamahal ko sa mga trabaho kong ito,” pagtatapos pa ni Marvin Agustin.

     

       

JUN LANA’S “BWAKAW” MOST LIKELY TO BAG “PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD”

Eddie Garcia and his most loved stray dog Bwakaw

JUN LANA’S “BWAKAW” MOST LIKELY TO BAG “PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD”      

When you’re 60 years old and  have fallen in love with love and loved as much, fall out of it as well once or a few more times, it’s not much of an issue on self-actualization as it is of meaningful existence before one  kicks the bucket and come face-to-face with St. Peter for the final reckoning.

But if you’re  alone  at 60, and yes gay and has not had any “meaningful relationship” at all with a lover (okay a loved one) nor with someone else, gay or hetero or family member(s) even and all you have to your lonesome is a domesticated “askal” (stray dog) at your fancy, there’s going to be an  issue_  philosophical  or at most an existential one.

Director Jun Lana

This is the subject matter being tackled by auteur director and multi-awarded winning playwright/screenwriter Director Jun Lana in his most recent outing at the Cinemalaya (2012) Director’s Showcase. 

Parenthetical, I must insist that if you are down to your shoestring budget don’t miss out on this one. You don’t have to be gay, hetero, lesbian, grumpy and gay at 60 which Eddie Garcia is in the digital film playing a reluctant, closeted gay who finds genuine friendship in his pet dog he found on the street and named it Bwakaw, also the film’s title.

In hindsight, Director Jun Lana’s “Bwakaw”  is a take on one of humanity’s most feared situations, gay or no gay, which is that of getting old alone and if you push the issue farther to not having loved anyone at all_ loveless and is “tigang” at 60.  This is where the most existential issue of the film  comes in . 

Would loving a dog suffice and make you nevertheless human like anyone else blessed with a loved one? Or would it make you less of a human?

Eddie Garcia

This  is master storyteller Jun Lana’s take on happiness which is after all relative _ and up to one’s responsibility from the way I see it in the direction of hermeneutics. Done in light, albeit biting humor you would be laughing at Eddie Garcia’s most effortless characterization all through much of it. 

“Bwakaw” I dare say towers over other entries  in the “People’s Choice Awards,” if not Best Actor for Eddie Garcia.  Thank God, Director Lana has downplayed Eddie Garcia’s  distracting tendency to “dialogue in” his funny antics and his habit of dishing out his patented Manoy’s sing-song and Bicolano accent that he used to do in practically all of his past movies.

At  best, “Bwakaw”  may yet get for Director Lana Best Screenplay and yes Best Director Award as well. He is no auteur director for nothing in the truest sense of the word.

At “Bwakaw’s” premiere I had a great time congratulating TV5’s Head of Creative and Entertainment Mr. Perci Intalan who  executive produced the brilliant project alongside the full force of TV 5’s PR mavens Lhot Ortega, Luigi and Papa Omar of TV5’s “Paparazzi” and Juicy.”

Yes, success was written all over our faces sharing it with  Director Jun Lana’s fresh and exhilarating take on the  question of man’s eternal quest for happiness. For this, I am bound to watch Sunday’s award’s night at CCP to share in the glory of watching “Bwakaw” snatch a “major-major” award or two. Catch “Bwakaw” at CCP, Trinoma and Greenbelt theaters. You will not regret it.

Just recently, the CONSLA (Confederation of  Non-Stock Savings and Loan Assoc., Inc.) and its  Board of Trustees together with delegates from its 70  member-associations nationwide for three days held its 21st national convention with the theme "CONSLA @ 40: PILLAR OF GROWTH AND STABILITY"  at the convention center of  Boracay Regency Hotel.

      On their 40 years of leading the non-stock association industry, the national event led by President retired PAF Col. Ricardo Nolasco, Jr. was welcomed by Aklan's Municipality Mayor of Malay John P. Yap.

      In its report, Col. Nolasco translated the growth and stability indicators to the delegates, cushioning as he did the prolonged adverse effects of the global economic crisis and economic downturn even as he proposed a safety net program in the direction.

       He also emphasized that in its 40  years of existence, CONSLA has remained steadfast and committed to the true essence of their continued existence.

      To recall, CONSLA is the umbrella organization that was created as a government body of the Non-Stock Savings and Loan Assoc. (NSSLA) industry.

      The Honorable Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr., member of the Senate Committee on Bank Financial Institution and Currency, who is supportive of CONSLA  graced the occasion as Guest of Honor and Keynote Speaker.

    Col. Nolasco roused the delegates to roaring applause of approval in his introduction of Senator Revilla when he said that the person they were about to see face- to- face and hear is the next important person in the country, if not the next future President.

      More than his celebrity status as Philippine cinema's urban legend Panday that added glitter to the convention, Sen. Revilla underscored the vital role of CONSLA as catalyst for the growth of the  country's economy and its more than seven million beneficiaries who belong to the marginalized sectors of the Philippines society, such as the military and police, teachers, employees of the government and private sectors, miners, and school employees.        

      Sen. Revilla also promised to push for the approval of a CONSLA bill seeking to strengthen its foundation and to adjust to the ever-changing tides and demands of the global economy.

    Another guest speaker Gov. Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. of  Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) highly lauded the CONSLA and gave the assurance that the BSP will support the association in its role  to help protect the interests and welfare of its 70 member-associations as well as its more than 7 million beneficiaries

      The goal of the national convention among others  is to uplift CONSLA's legacy of building stronger relationships among its members, business partners, regulators, and friends and to provide  an opportunity to confer with and learn from honorable guests and distinguished resource persons.

     The fellowship night saw some members slugging it out for CONSLA’s   Singing Idols 2012 whose winners were Atty. Jaymie Manalili, 1^st ; Maria Dee Gee Dangalan, 2^nd ; and Buddy Paringit, 3^rd. In the Singing Videoke Star  2012 category the respective winners were Voltaire Alocreza, Capt. Teofilo Metrio and Marianita Modesta.

      The board of judges were flown in straight from Manila led by Portia Ilagan who came in with Sen. Bong Revilla, Jr., President/CEO of Multi-Competencies International Training Center Zonnie D. Espiritu and George Vail Kabristante, Artistic Director of  Balintataw Film & Theater Arts –UNESCO Phil. Center for ITI ( International Theater Institute).

As a footnote, on behalf of the members and officers of PMPC (Phil. Movie Press Club) I would like to extend our eternal gratitude to Col. Nolasco for granting our request to hold our most successful outing cum team building activities at his high-end Hannah's Beach Resort and Convention Center, Pagupud, Ilocos Norte.

I must say that if there is one resort/ tourist destination that you should visit before you kick the bucket, this is it __ the virginal, unspoiled Boracay of the North! Visit Hannah's  website for details. Surely, if you get there you will come back for more as we are all  yearning to do so in the future.

STEALING THE THUNDER FROM VILMA SANTOS’S “THE HEALING”

VILMA SANTOS SEATED AT CENTER WITH DIRECTOR CHITO RONO AT HER BACK AND KIM CHIU  BESIDE HER AND THE REST OF THE CAST OF  "THE HEALING"

Nung nakaraang Thursday big day sa Dolphy Theater ng ABS-CBN kung saan isinagawa ang presscon ng Stars For All Seasons na si Vilma Santos para sa kanyang much anticipated latest starrer/blockbuster “The Healing” with co-stars Kim Chiu, Pokwang, Janice De Belen, etc.  Andun din ang premyadong director na si Chito Rono.


Para sa mga hindi nakakaalam ang Dolphy Theater ay isang malaking theater house na named after the Comedy King Dolphy.  Dito ginagawa ang mga pangmalakihang presscons lalo na kung may trailer or film showing.
A day earlier (that was Thursday)  ang cadaver ni Dolphy ay pinag-stop over sa nabanggit na theater house to pay last respect to the Comedy King bago siya dalhin sa Heritage Park kung saan doon siya ibuburol.


Meantime, nag-fiesta as in nagbunyi ang buong  entertainment press ng mainstream showbiz  sa pagdating ni Vilma Santos sa Dolphy Theater.  Paminsa-minsan lang kasi humaharap ng press si Ate Vi dahil nga public servant siya. 
Sa open forum ay napag-alaman ng lahat na ang “The Healing” ay kauna-unahang horror thriller ni Ate Vi. 


Excited siya sobra sa pagkukwento na ganadong- ganado siya sa paggawa ng nasabing pelikula dahil nga matagal na pala niyang inaawitan si Direk Chito na gumawa ng ganitong pelikula.


“Ako kasi basically nahinang sa drama. The last time ang ginawa ko was “Anak” and then nasundan yun ng “In My Life.”  So bale dream movie ko talaga ito and it took years  to realize it. Kaya nung sinabi ni Direk Chito na meron na siyang material, ay go talaga ako agad so that’s it ito na,” say pa ng Star For All Seasons.  


Napakasaya ng nasbing press brief.  Sobrang personal at  naka-relate si Ate Vi at mga kasamahan nito sa iba’t-ibang tanong ng mga reporters as moderated by Doyenne of Entertainement Writing and ex-prexy of PMPC (Phil. Movie Press Club) Ethel Ramos (take your bow, Manay Ethel!) in tandem with breezy Erik John Salut.  

The following day Friday the 13 nakahabol sa tabloid ang glowing reportage on Vilma Santos’s grandest movie of the year  kasama pa ang live streaming straight from bloggers na andun din sa Dolphy Theater para i-cover ang press brief ni Ate Vi and company.


Sa gabi same day si katotong Ricky Calderon ay nag-celebrate ng kanyang birthday sa legendary, iconic Music Box ni Daddy Wowee  sa may Timog. Ang fodder  syempre ay “The Healing” at ang heavy casting nito led by Kim Chiu bilang anak ni Ate Vi. Of course special choice siya ni Ate Vi.


Biglang dumating si Chuck Gomez na publicist ni Gary Valenciano straight from Heritage Park dala-dala ang scoop tungkol nga sa banggaan nina Annabelle Rama at movie reporter Chito Alcid. Sinundan naman ito ni katotong Julie Bonifacio who had a clearer version of the scandal. Ayan upstaged tuloy ang usapang Vilma Santos at birthday ni katotong Ricky.


Special mention ni Chuck ang King Of Talk Boy Abunda na naroon mismo sa pandemonium na ‘yun na ayon pa ni Chuck na-floored ‘ata si Kuya Boy at never itong nag-comment, medyo trying his best to maintain his composure and all pero alam niyang Boy was somehow affected by the incident. Hindi niya alam kung na-shock wave si Kuya Boy o di kaya pinoproseso lamang niya ang pangyayari para sa “The Buzz”  na as ever things like this  The King of Talk has always the last word ‘ika nga. Abangan!


Ang King of Talk ay palaging may challenge sa mga movie reporters when it comes to reporting events, scandalous or not. Ayon sa kanya kailangang “mag-step up” (his word) ang mga reporters to make stories interesting and not to rely mainly on press releases and press conferences.


Tama. Ganun nga ang reportage ng “The Buzz” through the years. Watching it live on ringside view like what we usually do on Sundays, or onscreen makes you feel this could be the trade secret of the unparalleled, unprecedented and multi-awarded (to include an Asian Award for Journalism for  Boy)   showbiz-oriented talk show in town.


One glaring oversight (conscious or not)  sa self-reportage ni Chito Alcid sa Facebook about Annabelle’s attack on him ay never niyang na-mention na nung siya ay nasukol na ni Annabelle ay  nahandusay siya sa sahig dahil ayon sa nakasaksi na-out of balance nga raw siya. Sa katabaan niyang yun, he fell flat on the floor.


Was Chito trying to sanitize his own reportage? Tingnan  nyo na lang sa mga kasunod pang exclusive footages ng “The Buzz.”

RUFFA GUTIERREZ 

TV5 makes primetime viewing more enjoyable and exciting as it announces its program line-up beginning July 28, 2012.  The country’s fastest growing broadcast network once again establishes itself as a trendsetter in the industry as it unveils bigger, better and brighter shows for the second half of 2012. 
“TV5 has something for everybody. We aim to deliver a fresh new perspective at how audiences enjoy the network’s news, entertainment and sports programs,” said Atty. Ray C. Espinosa, TV5 president and CEO. “The new program line-up does not only set the bar higher for innovativeness and production values but it also reinforces TV5’s vision to become a  formidable force in Philippine television as it continues to challenge repetitive programming standards,” he added.


On July 29 (Sunday) at 9:30 PM, the widely-talked about suspense series Third Eye will launch — offering  a different take on local supernatural lore set against the urban backdrop of Metro Manila. Kapatid stars Eula Caballero, Lorna Tolentino, Daniel Matsunaga and Eddie Garcia will weave an intricate story of mystery and human drama in the realm of the supernatural.


TV5’s new evening primetime programming kicks off on July 30 with Enchanted Garden, a first-of-its-kind eco-fantasya, which will air from Mondays to Fridays at 6:30 PM. The series will introduce viewers to Eden; a garden world parallel to our universe — full of mystery, conflict and redemption. Enchanted Garden stars Alice Dixson, Ruffa Gutierrez, Rufa Mae Quinto, Zoren Legaspi, Bebe Gandanghari and Alex Gonzaga. 
Crowd-favorite “Wil Time Big” Time moves to a new timeslot at 7:00 PM.  The inimitable host with the most Willie Revillame promises even more enjoyment for the entire family with new contests and bigger prizes for the studio audience and home viewers.

The highly-anticipated Artista Academy will also make its debut on July 30, Mondays to Fridays, at 9:00 PM, offering audiences a peek at what it takes to be the next big Kapatid star. With PhP20 million in total prizes, the reality talent search is the BIGGEST of its kind in local television history. Artista Academy will also be broadcast LIVE on Saturday nights for its Live Exams, during which time contestants will get to prove their mettle as they get through the test of their lives in their journey towards stardom. Artista Academy will be hosted by actor-entrepreneur Marvin Agustin from Mondays to Fridays, while award-winning actor and musician Cesar Montano will take the helm for its Saturday episodes.

On top of the exciting entertainment line-up that TV5 has in store for viewers in primetime, the network will also apply its technology and expertise in the way news is delivered and presented using state-of-the-art equipment and its dedicated pool of professionals at News5.  Wherever viewers may be in the world, Pinoy viewers would have access to TV5’s outstanding news and sports reporting. 
For sporting news, nothing beats the London 2012 Olympics which TV5 will exclusively cover on free Philippine television starting July 28. The program host for this global sports spectacle is Kapatid hunk and sportsman, Derek Ramsay.  Live Olympic action and sporting highlights will be available on TV5, AKTV, AksyonTV and via Cignal Digital TV’s premium channels.

ARTISTA ACADEMY’S TWENTY MILLION PRIZE REELS OFF JULY 30

Philippine television’s grandest and most intensive search for the next big stars begins this July 30 as TV5 premieres Artista Academy, the only reality-based talent competition offering real artista training in a legitimate school of television arts. Sixteen candidates aged 16-22 will battle it out for P20 M worth of total prizes and the prestige of being hailed as Artista Academy’s Best Actor and Best Actress.


Hosted by seasoned actors Cesar Montano and Marvin Agustin, Artista Academy will share with viewers the real journey of 16 showbiz aspirants. They will undergo extensive curriculum-based training at the Asian Academy of Television Arts (AATA) to become certified professional actors equipped with the acting versatility and right attitude to make names for themselves in showbiz.
The highly successful one-time grand auditions last June 19 saw a crowd of over 13,000 packing the SMART Araneta Coliseum. Artista Academy had to conduct rigorous screening in choosing the 16 finalists who have what it takes to become TV5’s biggest new stars.

These include multi-awarded director Joel Lamangan, music master Louie Ocampo and dance guru Georcelle Dapat of G Force. They are also joined by other esteemed TV professionals and distinguished celebrities.
Artista Academy is directed by acclaimed film and TV director Mac Alejandre, who also heads the TV5 Talent Center. He will be working with well-known entertainment executive and AATA head Wilma Galvante.
  Aside from the P20 Million-worth of total prizes to be won by the Artista Academy Best Actor and Best Actress, TV5 will also grant them lead roles in a forthcoming teleserye. Not only will they be armed with the right acting training from AATA to become the industry’s future stars, they will also be the richest of all winners in the Philippine talent search history.
“No other program has offered such school-based learning and development from a real academy of television arts. It will truly be a life-changing experience for not just one but two students. This is real fame, fortune, and stardom. This is as real as it can get,” said TV5 Creative and Entertainment Production Head Perci Intalan.
Hosts Cesar Montano and Marvin Agustin will be sharing the journey of the 16 Artista Academy students.
