BINI JHOANNA Set To Appear in PUREGOLD Series

Looks like they're not stopping anytime soon as the folks from Puregold start grinding the cinematic world with stories of special folks, of Filipino Sari-Sari Stories, one of which will be graced by the lovely BINI JHOANNA who'll play a cameo role on a short film entitled "The Witness", much to the delight of blooms around the world!

For those who don't know, it could be any genre but the one Jhoanna will be in talks of love, community and how the person inside the store would see while manning the store. They've done similar things in the past including "Ways" by SB19's Stell where hot rapper Skusta Klee also maze an impression. It will be a good place to connect with family and friends, See, we're all connected in some way so this project is just serendipity. 

Jhoanna says "People would be able to connect especially for entrepreneurs who are just starting. The film also showcases how we shouldn't fail to appreciate small businesses like Sari-Sari Stores around the country. It's an integral par of Aling Puring's movement, which is very Filipino, no matter how you put it. It's one of the reasons why there are stores nearby, always."

Ms. Ivy Hayagan Piedad reiterates why Puregold has been doing this for years because they are allies of entrepreneurs. These stories for them are not just there to promote but be a tool for them to learn a thing or two.

If that's not enough, you can still subscribe to The Puregold Channel's Youtube account or on other channels like IG, x Or FB because information about this will all be there.

Here's Another Run of "TABING ILOG: The Musical" This 2024

We celebrate good things, including this new run of "Tabing Ilog the Musical" run which starts November 8 up until December 1 this 2024. 

PETA's Melvin Lee says "Who would have thought the pandemic would become a surprise fruitful partnership between a very seasoned theater group and Star Magic. Even now, some of them have already done several productions. Now we have them and more Star Magic artists in another run of Tabing Ilog the Musical."

Tabing Ilog is something that I have religiously watched in ABSCBN to follow the lives of Eds and Rovic, Corrine and Badong, Fonzy and George, James and the rest of the friends who made life interesting in the early 2000's. They made it into a musical a couple years ago (during the pandemic). This year, the reprisal warrants a few changes in the story, the music and the cast. Although most of them have been in it, cast changes was seen something essential to tie in a lot of relationships in the story line, even if it means a couple veteran "Marites" would play the part.

I remember them teasing this back in the Star Magic Hot Summer event. During the mediacon, we saw Andi Abaya, Kiara Takahashi, Vino Mabalot, Jordan Andrews, Kobe Brown, Miah Canton, Anji Salvacion, BGYO Akira, Benedix Ramos, Sheena Belarmino, and Vivoree. Although BINI Jhoanna Robles wasn't there, she is going to be part of the cast, she just had prior commitments (we all know how busy they've been if you watch the BINI documentary). Adrian Lindayag was also there, something I was so happy about since he's done a LOT of good roles in movies I've covered.

Vivoree came in first, and obliged us with a few details about doing the iconic role of Eds in the musical.

Meanwhile, here's the mediacon proper with the rest of the cast. I could feel how excited they were and how much has changed since their initial outing.

A revamped cast that's full of confidence really would spell success, now that they're doing another installment, expect that they're going to do it a little different, with bigger and better music, plus really great acting improvements for most of them. If you're planning to watch it again, or just new to the scene, you can now get tickets at Ticketworld. There will be around 2 shows a day, and again, will run from November 8 to December 1st. Come reminisce with the cast and have fun at PETA Theater. Your Star Magic stars will be there, including remarkable PETA theater regulars to make sure you're going to enjoy every minute of it.
