JUAN MINUTE: Enrique is the "King of the Gil"

Fresh from the success of She's The One, Enrique Gil is set to a bigger stage with one of his best asset as an artist, his dance moves. Dubbed as Philippine showbiz’s ‘Dougie King’ he is ready to conquer the Smart-Araneta Coliseum this November as he brings his own swag and delight his supporters at his first ever concert titled “King of the Gil.”

Enrique has also been in Kapamilya projects like "Princess and I" , "Muling Buksan ang Puso", MMK and  in several music videos with Kapamilya artists like Zia Quizon and Myrtle. He is also a YouTube hit for his dance moves especially  when he performed for the "I-Vice Ganda Mo Ako Concert".

And with a string of dance hits with his moves, this gave way for the album "King of the Gil" made by Star Records and a possible new album after the concert.

REEL DEAL: Shakes and Rattles In Korean Movie "Horror Stories"

Asia’s culture probably holds the creepiest of ghostly encounters based on true events due to the people’s dire need to connect with the spirits of their loved ones or someone who might reveal truths of unsolved mysteries. 

In the upcoming Korean movie “Horror Stories 2,” parallel to the country’s “Shake, Rattle and Roll” ghost stories, three stories of spirits come to life in an insurance company wherein they connect with the dead to find answers to fraudulent claims. But as each case is reopened, a dark shadow surges over them and grows stronger as the memories of the dead come to life.   

The movie starts to reveal dark spirits in the basement of an insurance company where an employee and her boss goes through old files for review.  The company’s manager named Park (played by Park Sung-Wong) discovers that his eccentric new employee Se-Young (Lee Se-Young) has an extraordinary ability to see past events that happened by connecting to any personal belongings  of the dead.  Park then uses Se-Young’s gift to unravel mysteries in their past insurance cases that were left unanswered.
