Netizens mesmerized by Aljur Abrenica’s dirty dancing in ‘Magpakailanman’

Kapuso hunk actor Aljur Abrenica has vindicated himself from his bashers’ and critics’ taunting about his acting skills when he delivered very exceptional acting in last Saturday’s episode of “Magpakailanman” in which he portrayed the life story of a macho dancer.

The episode won in the overnight household ratings against “Maalaala Mo Kaya” in viewer-rich Mega Manila (25.8% vs. 19.3%) based on data from the Nielsen Television Audience Measurement (Nielsen TAM). Aljur, who was pitted against kapamilya network’s Enrique Gil, seemed to have the edge over his counterpart acting-wise and abs-wise (!).

Kimpoy Feliciano releases debut single Ikaw Lang this Friday‏

Online personality Kimpoy Feliciano acknowledges how his followers on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr have paved the way for him to be part of groundbreaking projects. His debut single Ikaw Lang is a proof of his gratitude to all the friends, who have supported him all these years.

The single will be available for download this Friday, October 12 at www.mymusicstore.com.ph and Itunes.

Produced by platinum producer Ito Rapadas, Kimpoy’s rendition of Ikaw Lang is a sincere, straightforward take on the Chad Borja hit.

“I am in awe. I can’t believe it,” said Kimpoy when asked how he felt when he heard the single. “Nakakatuwa. Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na may single na ako at lalabas na rin ang album.”

How Kimpoy Feliciano found his way back home online

Four years ago, online heartthrob Kimpoy Feliciano’s family decided to migrate to Dunedin, New Zealand. Just like any kid in his situation then, he had no choice but to oblige in his family’s decision to move to a new place, away from his other family, friends, and classmates.

Luckily, social media has bridged the gap between Kimpoy and his loved ones in Manila and Bulacan. Through sites like Tumblr, Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, he has reconnected himself to the Philippines without being physically present in the country.

Blah Blah Blogs: What The #PacBradley?!

I don't usually blog about boxing, but when I do there is something really wrong. When Manny was winning fights left and right, there is the common greeting of congratulations and some analysis from a regular spectator. Well, indeed the fight was shocking not in the fight itself but the unbelievable decision made by the judges on the final scorecards. Again, I am no expert however I am a keen observer, and at the fight, it was clear on my end that the fight belong to Manny. I also impressed with Bradley keeping it up to the 12th round which is an achievement for players. But when the announcement was made in favor of Bradley, I felt there is really wrong.

To be fair, I do check on boxing analysts sites and post about the fight, and as far as I have checked, they all are in favor for Pacman. It's not that he is Pinoy that I am rooting for him, but because he is really talented and strong. For the spirit of the sport and fairness, I would like to know the basis of which they gave those scores. It should not be an issue of race, color, religious views, business, smooth talk or personal opinion, just sticking to the rules of boxing.

Pinoys Increasingly Rely on Social Media For News

The emergence of the Philippines as one of the world's social media capitals —with one out of every three Filipinos on Facebook— has led to the widespread acceptance of social media as a key source of news and current information.

Earlier this year, social media came to the fore as the main channels of information concerning the magnitude 6.7 earthquake that hit Negros Island. And late last year, social media also proved crucial in reporting on, and finding help for, the victims of Typhoon Sendong in Mindanao.

“[Social media] are a direct connection to web users and TV viewers, and are an efficient avenue for gathering and delivering news.  They are also platforms for receiving feedback and ideas about our programming,” says Howie Severino, Vice President for Multimedia Journalism of GMA Network.

The immediacy and impact of social media are such that they have been recognized by the Pulitzer Prize alongside traditional journalism stalwarts.

“I think you’ll continue to see social media in the breaking news category, but it will show up in others as well,” said Pulitzer Prize administrator Sig Gissler of the growing number of prize-winning stories from social media.

MUSIC LYF: TEEN IDOLS' Sam Concepcion & Julie Anne San Jose Covers 'Pinoy Mag' March -April 2012!

Respected Filipino music magazine, Pinoy Mag may have spilled the beans months ago before the photo shoot took place for their March/ April 2012 issue.  Teen Idols: Sam Concepcion and Julie Anne San Jose graces the front cover of Pinoy Mag, available on stands starting March 29th!

A photo of the two surfaced in the Pinoy Magazine Facebook Fanpage preparing for their shoot last February 28. Also on that same day while the photo shoot is on-going, the term “SamLieonPinoyMag” trended on micro-blogging site Twitter at the 6th spot after the said posting. Respective fans of these two seem like this new team up from rival networks. Some even called them as “dream tandem” although both were also being paired with different artists.  

March 1, two days after the said photo shoot, Pinoy Mag posted a video duet of Sam and Julie singing the chorus part of Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown's “No Air” and a fan named AmBootSalmo posted that video on YouTube  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RYVaehzlv3s) and garnered 50,000 views in a span of five days. Here are some of the comments posted about the said duet video:

27Pochie: “They've got the talent, looks, and oozing chemistry I think the comfortability with each other helps them to relax and look good together. As to what I have learned both parties did have fun and that is a major major factor thinking that they worked alone for the first time. Hope someone can hear them and give them the opportunity to make a collab and hopefully more to come. People are saying nothing but good praise. Congrats more to come.”
