Rex Navarrete Performs In Resorts World Manila

Aside from Paris Hilton in Town, we also have a very hot personality and also a fan of Manny Pacquiao is here in town to brust Resorts World Manila into laughter with stand up comedian REX NAVARRETE. He has been in the industry for about 22 years and even funnier than ever.


Rex recently had his national debut on Lopez Tonight on the TBS network. He is the only Fil-Am to have four audio CDs and three DVDs of his various perfomances. Filipinos loved him for his acts like "Maritess and the Superfriends" and "SBC Packers". Navarrete took Manila by storm in the early 2000s and his stories of his childhood and of relatives living in the US resonated with the local crowds.  People also loved his performance when he did a sketch for Manny Pacquiao. His performances are also a favorite in Youtube and even in (believe it or not) call center training.

Yahoo! OMG! Awards at Republiq!

The votes are in!

The people have spoken on who are worthy to be part of the first Yahoo! OMG! Awards held at Republiq at Resorts World Manila. From the online poll raised by Yahoo! It was a night of stellar proportions as it has lot of celebrities who attended the awards night. Coincidentally, there was also another award giving-body that was staged in Resorts World so this is why the constellations have come down.


But Yahoo! OMG! Awards takes the night for being the most posh and most elegant event of the night with the personalities walking on the purple carpet. Plus this is a first for Yahoo! Philippines but also has been a forerunner and model for Yahoo! for the region.

REEL DEAL: SALT

Angelina did it again as she kicked butt hard with a dash of SALT. This movie is one of the awaited films this year and it did not disapoint its viewers as it proved to be worthy of being a action film to remember for life. SALT follows the life of a CIA Agent Evelyn Salt as she is set up into a spy conspiracy that involves a assasination attempt of a world leader, in an event they call Day X. This movie made me think that the USSR conspiracy is still alive and will leave you puzzed at first and craving for more at the end.

The film also stars , Liev Shcreiber, who also stared as Sabertooth from the X men origins: Wolverine, as Salt's partner in the CIA. Chiwetel Ejiofor is Peabody, who also works for the ONCIX  is on a mousehunt for the alleged spy. What made the chase more interesting is how Salt went into a transformation and also as a master of different arts. You will also love the transformations that she did in this movie, very sleek, classy yet shows an aura of a heroine.

One interesting fact is originally, Tom Cruise was the first pick to play (Edwin A.) Salt. But since Cruise has a lot of commitments at that time, so it was made into a role of Angelina. Angelina also made the stunts on this film by herself, proving that she is really one tough woman. The sequel for this one is awaited by fans and also did very well in the box office.

Deliberation time kids!
