Protege Lovely Was Eliminated But Saved

What they called the Big Twist saved Lovely from being eliminated. The twist called back the 5 proteges eliminated earlier. The remaining mentors had mixed opinions. Claire said it was not fair. Aiza said the ex-proteges deserved a second because of their talent, not because of the text votes.

Earlier in Party Pilipinas, Lovely's duet with Jonalyn Viray was well applauded. Unfortunately, she landed in the bottom floor because of low text votes.

Krizza's performance of Kamikaze's "Narda" in a new arrangement, accompanied by an orchestra, was truly a superb performance. Aiza truly knows how to groom a talent. Jensen's interpretation of "Anak" was the second best among the rest. The other proteges did just OK.

Ginisa ng mga Judges ang SoWat

Apparently the judges were offended by the remarks of SoWat in Inside Protege. SoWat had a hard time accepting the judges' criticisms in a positive point of view. Eula Valdez was impressed by SoWat's performance but the two de Leon's were not happy about the group's performance.

Opinion

SoWat apologized on national TV tungkol sa binitawan nilang remarks, which are actually very trivial: "Ba't 'di ninyo pag-blendinging yung mga soloista" and "Palit na lang tayo. Kami na lang yung judge." These are comments that you can say privately na tipong napag-uusapan lang at di naman seryoso hanggang kaluluwa. The problem is that their thoughts were broadcast on national TV.

The judges, specifically Bert and Joey de Leons, took those remarks too personally. SoWat apologized to them about what they had said in the interview room of Inside Protege. I was surprised that Bert de Leon did not accept the apology. The judges made their point and they were right. They are authorities in the industry while SoWat are mere contestants.

Truly, SoWat should accept every criticism in a positive way. This is to challenge them. Mentor Rey Valera should have taught his protege to value the judges' remarks rather that being always in the defensive mode.

Kitang-kita sa expression nina Joey and Bert na inis na inis sila. In fact, patuloy silang nag patutsada laban sa SoWat kahit di na nila kaharap ang SoWat, which I think is unfair and unprofessional considering they are professionals. Joey de Leon, though indirectly, repeatedly mentioned the words "Walang pinag-aralan."

In a way, sina Bert and Joey pa ang lubhang napikon sa issue.

Bert de Leon, Joey de Leon, and mentor Aiza Seguerra all belong to the Eat Bulaga family. In the viewers' perspective, that doesn't look fair and objective.

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.

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

"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
