REEL DEAL: Tuhog SPOTLIGHT

Skylight Films and Star Cinema have again come together to put up meaningful yet unconventional movie with TUHOG. This one is a different kind of "tuhog" from what we would know maybe the sexy film. This one would be the most literal interpretation of the title. And who will be unfortunate characters who will be skewered like barbecue?

It would be the threesome of Leo Martinez (Tonio), Enchong Dee (Caloy) and Eugene Domingo (Fiesta) together in an unfortunate road accident that also brought them together. Tonio, is a retired employee which found his new hobby which is baking and invested his saving putting up one. Fiesta is a busy bus conductor and driver (sometimes) who makes a living to just survive and not live as it is meant to be. And Caloy, a young guy who is staring out to know and experience love and life itself.  In the trailer which I could say left everyone puzzled, even myself.

Daniel Padilla goes beyond shows, movies, and mall tours with the biggest event of his life, his birthday concert that will be held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Yes, you heard it right, Araneta. For a young lad who will turn 18 this April 26, it is indeed a very big achievement to have his own concert in the big dome at a very young age. The concert will happen on April 30 (my Birthday) and it as much as he would fill malls and tours, it will not be hard for him for a full house. 

We do expect that his loveteam partner Kathryn Bernardo will be there and he will be singing songs from his certified Platinum Album. Himig Handog favorite "Na Sayo Na Ang Lahat" will definitely be one of the most expected song for that night.

With just on its first 8 weeks, it has garnered an average of almost 40% TV ratings, interestingly enough, is also one of the shows that I was anticipating this year. Now we get to know more about the stars behind the "royal" teleserye.
