Protégé Cast In A Glee-Like Project?

If I were GMA Network, I would cast the 10 Protégé in a Glee-like project immediately after the finals of Protégé. The project should be a funny and warm musical drama aired only once a week for one season taking either the Saturday or Sunday slot. The musical drama series should not be the typical soap with annoying, repeating plots like:
  • Mother loses child; child looks for mother
  • Someone is killed; somebody takes revenge
  • Kid is kidnapped; then there's an explosion
  • Amnesia, murder, guns, amnesia, murder, guns .... and never ending amnesia, murder, guns
Are Filipino writers running out of creativity? Filipino writers should study the success of Glee. Light drama, subtle acting, with sense of humor, and simple plots made heart-warming.

Let it be called "Play"

Here's a suggestion. Name the musical drama series "Play". It's about the lives of young theater actors. It's a drama on stage, backstage, and back home. Tackle ordinary day-to-day subjects like:

  • ambition, goal setting
  • practice makes perfect
  • success and failures
  • misunderstanding
  • struggles and disappointment
  • sensibility
  • being positive
Forget about violence. No guns, no kidnapping, no killing, no over-acting bitchy women. Let there be change in what the audience watch.

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...

Starstruck V Dance Challenge

Douglas Nieras, the Starstruck's dance mentor, chose two pairs to dance hiphop: Rocco & Diva, and Sef & Nina. Rocco and Diva danced better because they were dancing together. Nina and Sef were like dancing individually. Diva did better than Nina on stage; Nina however was praised more during the rehearsals. Perhaps, Nina had jitters on stage. Rocco was naturally confident and relax on stage. Sef's moves tend to be calculated. In the Ballroom challenge, the two pairs chosen to perform on stage were: Rocco & Rox, and Enzo & Diva. Enzo and Diva danced well. Rocco & Rox's performance was boring. As beginners though, they all did well. The Bottom Three The bottom three are: Princess, for missing one dance class; though he did well on the dance floor, Sef was in the bottom three for some reasons; and Zeryl, who missed the dance lessons for health reasons. Stand Outs At this point, Rocco is a stand out. He's charming, has the masculine manly appeal. His eye...
