Protege Season 2: The Battle For The Big Artista Break

It's season 2 of Protege. Season 1 looked for singing talents. This time, an artist who can act, sing, and dance. Protege 2 seems to replace the Starstruck series which had the same purpose. Who deserves to win the 12-million peso prize? Higit sa lahat, ang may karapatang manalo ay yung kayang tumabo sa takilya at humataw sa TV ratings . Hindi sapat ang ganda ng mukha, kailangang may angking kahusayan sa pagganap sa pelikula o telebisyon. Bagama't malaking tulong, pangalawa lamang ang kahusayan sa pag-awit o pag-sayaw. Sa kabilang banda, dahil lahat sila'y baguhan, hindi sapat ang kahusayan lamang. Kailangan ay may angking ningning at ganda na siyang pang-akit sa madla. Ang tao ay tumutugon at unang naaakit sa kanyang nakikita. Pangalawa, ang tao ay sunod na naaakit sa damdamin ng kanyang nakikita. Kaya naman sa larangan ng pangangalakal, upang maka-akit ka ng mamimili, ang isang visual artist ay gumagamit ng sikolohiyang panglarawan at emosyonal ( visual-emotio

"Makapiling Kang Muli" Review

Patalastas-Hikayat (TV Plug) Impressive TV plug. Shot using a wide screen format, the cinematography was cinematic. GMA Network is good in creating TV plugs, not only in the entertainment field but also in its news and public affairs. Kaya naman, sino ang hindi maiinganyong panoorin ang pilot episode ng "Makapiling Kang Muli." Panimulang Kabanata (Pilot Episode) The pilot episode of "Makapiling Kang Muli" (aired 4 June 2012) is not exactly beyond my expectations. I was expecting na wide screen ang picture format nito. So far, maganda ang takbo ng kuwento. The pacing, editing, and cinematography satisfied my creative cravings. Isang napakaliit na bagay lang ang napuna ko - ang pagsabog ng chopper sa malayuan. Medyo hindi realistic ang dating. Sana, the substance of this drama series remain robust till the end. Napupuna ko kasi sa mga drama series, sa umpisa lang maganda. Towards the middle until the end, nawawala na ang substance ng kuwento. Nagiging sab

American Idol Season 11 Top Favorites

Is Color An Issue? When Jessica Sanchez was eliminated (but saved by the Judges) last week, I wondered why a great talent would lose from such competition. Does America still prefer the common white skin? A Filipino-Mexican, is Jessica's color or race a disadvantage? or Perhaps, America is just not voting wisely? Image link c/o poptower.com Oprah, Obama, Whitney, and Randy are colored Americans; so are Idol's Fantasia and Reuben. Jennifer is a Latina. Bruno Mars is Fil-Latino. Apl de Ap of Black Eyed Peas is Black-Filipino. So, maybe, Jessica's saved-elimination has nothing to do with race or color. Californians Vs Southern Americans In the Top 8, only Jessica and Deandre are from California. The rest are from Southern America. Deandre Brackensick was eliminated two weeks ago. California has a population of 37 million. Does it mean California is not voting for fellow Californians? When Deandre was eliminated, who benefited his votes? Was fellow Californian Jessi

Tele-Novela Amaya (GMA) Ends Full Of Substance

Amaya , the epic produced for TV by GMA Network, aired its last episode last Friday, January 13. One of the greater challenges of a writer is how to end a story well. The ending should leave the reader or audience satisfied. Otherwise, no matter how good the beginning and the flow of story were, if the ending isn't good, the whole story is not good at all. Good thing, Amaya ended well. It's ending is full of substance. I don't need to re-tell the story. You can catch the epic on DVD. Loose Extensions Aljur Abrenica as Dayaw Amaya rated high on TV. For that reason, it's season was extended, the story lines stretched. What I don't like about story extensions is that sometimes, the story looses its substance. In the extended season, it introduced a new character, Dayaw, played by Aljur Abrenica. Perhaps, his role could have been part of Lumad's story. Unfortunately, Mikael Daez's character as Lumad, was axed at the end of the season. If I were to
