Irma Adlawan sa Amaya

Mahusay ang pagganap ni Irma Adlawan bilang Mantal - ang kapatid ni Dian Lamitan, na ginagampanan ni Gina Alajar - sa epikong "Amaya" (GMA Network). Bilang isang taga-sulsol sa kasamaan ni Lamitan, pinasisidhi nito ang labanan ng kabutihan at kasamaan.

A temptress's role to a main character is not useless, rather it is significant. Often she is the story behind a story, or the keeper of a secret that makes up the main or another plot. She spices up the story to make it more entertaining for her audience. Sad to say, her role is often unnoticed.

In real life, we have heard about powerful women who played significant roles in the lives of their husbands like Jacqueline Kennedy, Princess Grace of Monaco, and Princess Diana. In the controversial side, Imelda Marcos and Evita Peron likewise made a name for their husbands' sake.

In ordinary lives, our siblings and best friends play the same role either to make us better persons or a bit the opposite.

It is good to seek advice from someone who is close to us. But in the end, we should decide for ourselves. Our friends can only help us view other options and perspectives. Whether we follow them or not, we can only blame ourselves should we fail.

Listening is a virtue if what is said is wise.

Hating Kapatid: GMA Network's Short Film For Christmas

"Hating Kapatid" is a touching short film about two brothers who share the same pair of shoes and socks when going to school. One attends classes in the morning; the other in the afternoon. They meet in one store owned by an old woman where they exchange their footwear.

"Mahal Kita"

Here's another favorite song. "Mahal Kita", which means "I love you" was composed by Danny Tan. The original version was sung by Gerald Santos, Pinoy Pop Superstar grand champion of 2006. The female version was sung by Maricris Garcia, Pinoy Pop Superstar grand champion of 2007. The song is included in Gerald's first album "A Day on the Rainbow". The song is currently the love theme song of "Marimar", a Philippine remake of the Mexican tele-novela with the same title. In the Philippine version, Marian Rivera plays Marimar; Dingdong Dantes plays the the role of Sergio Santibanez. In Marimar, the female version is a response to the male version of the song. In dramatic scenes that focus on either Marimar's (Marian) or Sergio's (Dingdong) emotions, you'll either hear Gerald's or Maricris's version. "Marimar" is currently showing weeknights on GMA Channel 7. Here's Gerald's version of "Mahal Kita&q

Endless Love - A Filipino Adaptation of Autumn in My Heart

Courtesy pinoyhalo.com "Autumn in My Heart" is a Korean TV series. When GMA Network aired it on Philippine TV, it started a trend. Pinoys went gaga over Koreanovelas. GMA renamed the characters as Jenny, Johnny, and Andrew. The three Korean stars became popular in their character names rather than in their Korean screen names. GMA7 also gave it a new title - "Endless Love" - for the reason that there's no autumn in the Philippines. Today premieres once again Autumn in my Heart aka Endless Love but this time as a Filipino adaptation starring Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, and Dennis Trillo. Three superstars in one show! It's surely a hit. If I were to rewrite some scenes in Autumn In My Heart In general, I enjoyed the pilot episode of Autumn In My Heart. I particularly like the scene where young Johnny and Jenny ride their bicycles on a long brick road fenced with bougainvilla bushes. I give praise to whoever found that place. The school location w
