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-emotional psychology) na kung saan nilalaro niya ang tugon ng mata at damdamin.

Sa ibang punto, ang Protege ay isa ring pamumuhunan. Kung ika'y susugal sa isang produkto o proyekto, kailangang mabawi mo ang iyong pinuhunan. 

Kaya't bukod sa ganda ng mukha at kahusayan sa sining bilang panuntunan sa pagpili ng magwawagi, kailangang isa-alang-alang din ang kalamangan o potensyal sa pagtabo sa takilya at pag-angat sa TV ratings kung sakali siya ay bigyan ng pelikula o palabas sa telebisyon.

Halimbawa na lang sa Starstruck na kung saan nanalo si Jennylyn Mercado. Tila nahigitan na ni Kristine Reyes si Jennylyn kung kasikatan ang pag-uusapan. Kung inyong natatandaan, si Kristine ang unang natanggal sa Starstruck.

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...

Dyesebel Learns the Truth

Week 2 Episodes The next episodes after the first week were not as exciting as the first few days. In a few words, I can give you the synopsis. Dyesebel was able to save Fredo and hid him inside a cave. Bukanding (Paolo Ballesteros), her foster brother, persuaded her to go home for fear of the queen's punishment. Back to the cave, they found out that Fredo was bitten by a sea snake. Dyesebel left to look for cure. While she was gone, Berbola found Fredo inside the cave. She, too, fell in love with Fredo. In Sireneya, the queen learned about mermaids swimming up to the shore (which is forbidden). The queen had them hunted. Erebus (Alfred Vargas) warned Dyesebel and Bukanding that they were able to leave the cave and went to a shore where Fredo recovered. Berbola pointed at Dyesebel as the mermaid who violated the law. Dyesebel was sentenced to death; but Erebus told the queen that Berbula, too, was guilty of the same crime. The queen could not sentence her daughter Berbula to death....
