TV5 and PBA Partners Up with A2Z For More Basketball Action

When they say that they're changing the landscape of television, they sure mean to do it. Recent pronouncements from TV5 indicate huge changes especially about their airing of PBA Games in the channel. They partnered up with A2Z to become their newest free to air avenue especially for locations covered by them.

This certainly was the fruit of the successful staging to the FIBA Basketball World Cup in the country, plus the win of Gilas Pilipinas in both SEA Games and Asian Games (remember that historic Gold?). Now Filipino sports fans will have choice where to watch their home grown professional basketball teams when games start.

This is after all the 48th year of PBA, and the goal is to bring the PBA Games to even MORE homes as possible. This ensures that not only will there be access to games at TV5, but more of the LIVE broadcast of PBA Games in this new free to air channel. After all, they're the Philippines premier basketball league. Zoe Broadcasting VP and GM Rene Gonzales notes of this exciting venture and took delight on the variety they could do with the programming which is now in their court. Having PBA as part of their lineup surely will open up a lot of possibilities for the channel and what they could do in the near future. It will all start on November 5th, and will be broadcasted every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday thereafter. They are also in the workds to do something for the PBA D League and 3x3 where the Philippines is strong.

Meanwhile, you can still enjoy the games on Cignal TV and Cignal Play. You now have options!

Cignal Entertainment Does Showbiz Caravan: A Proper Thanksgiving and for Charity

Had a wonderful time talking to stars from Cignal/TV5 shows Sing Galing Kids, Sing Galing, Suntok Sa Buwan, Oh My Korona, Kalye Kweens, Now Zending, Reelverse and several other programs from the Kapatid network. They've been doing a showbiz caravan visiting several spots in Mega Manila to bring entertainment and thank everyone who supported their shows. Some of them are already ending, so it's an apt thing to do for those who contributed to their success. We talked to Zendee, Marimar, Ms. K Brosas, Jessy Salvador, Paulo Angeles and Pooh who also had a mall show later that day for the same purpose.

We talked about a lot of things including their experience about being on the show and working with other actors during the locked in taping and the pandemic. It's a pretty neat sight to get to know how they survived some of the most difficult circumstances like when Sing Galing was airing and Zendee had COVID-19. She was adamant to finish her work despite difficulty breathing, I was at awe on how she was able to do that. Here's our interview with her and Marimar that afternoon.

The Showbiz Caravan was pretty well received over at Starmall in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. They were there from November 17 to 19 to the delight of mall goers, shoppers and fans of the shows. They also did a portion where they get to sing with the stars and prizes went to a charity for the benefit of Kids of National Children’s Hospital and to a baby named Aaron who is a 7-year-old patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. That was certainly touching to see. 

 

Ms. K Brosas touched on a topic about Ms. Kris Aquino and how she was able to give her advise about accepting praises, and thanks as a celebrity. That part really made sense, and touching how their friendship has lasted all throughout these years.

 

 

Jessy Salvador (Maja Salvador's sister) talked lengthily about their show Oh My Korona which she says had her comedy acting chops tested during the whole show. She was glad Pooh was instrumental in making her better in the genre and hope she'll get to do drama shows in the future. Pooh on the other hand shared his experiences on working with his co-actors and how blessed he was despite the hardships of the pandemic, the lack of work, and how he was still blessed. Listen in!

Then on the other side of the venue, we got to talk to Paulo Angeles. Such a fine gentleman. Good looking, but never thought of himself as a matinee idol material. He often was playing a playful lad, partnered with different love interests, but wants a more dramatic role next time. Here's what we talked about during the press conference:

The finale episodes of Oh My Korona will air on November 26 while the grand finals of Sing Galing Kids and regulars will air on December 3 and 10 respectively. The Suntok Sa Buwan ending on the other hand will air on December 8th, while Kalye Kweens will end on Christmas eve. You can watch it on the date or re-runs if you use the Cignal Play app,. it's actually free so no need to burden yourself watching the shows especially for PH subscribers. Thank you for the opportunity to talk with you all! You've done good.

Meet TOP CLASS Dance Mentor BRIAN PUSPOS

Looks like you're going to be treated to a dance off unlike no other as Catriona Gray hosts the search for the next P-POP Icon called TOP CLASS.

This afternoon, we got to talk to Brian Puspos, the dance mentor for the competition. He's a Houston based guy, part of SoReal Cru and Mos Wanted Crew who landed runner up and third in America's Best Dance Crew on its Second and Seventh season. He's a deadly choreographer and worked with the likes of Justin Bieber, Chris Brown and several K-POP acts (oh you know who they are) just to name a few.

Brian says "It means the world to me, being a Filipino American, we've been in the forefront of dance and this program will get Filipinos to reach their dreams. This is what it means for me. Having the discipline to work very very hard, it's what I'm looking for. Working with the KPOP stars, I've seen how hard they work, how much they put into their craft, but Filipinos have a knack to go beyond that. It's special because this is brand new, I'm excited. It's amazing I've seen very talented PPOP groups, I would love to work with my people and hopefully get to see them in the Philippines soon. I'm really grateful for this opportunity. It's given me confidence to work with Chris Brown who saw and reached out a couple times and it was really cool to be commended by megastars commending our work. BTS stood out because I also saw how hard they work, in everything they do, the work ethic is something that I really respect, which I hope to expect with the contestants of Top Class too. Filipinos are some of the best dancers in the world, I hope they continue to learn and grow. For me, I also have much more to learn and I look forward to do that in the dance community in the country. I'll be there in June, I always go there like once a year so I'm pretty familiar with the place. I think I've learned a lot in Texas, the time is now to take the leap and I'm pursuing this. Pour out your heart on stage, think of it as the last thing you'll do every time you do that. If you have insecurities, pick yourself up, get it out of your head, as dance will make you confident."

He adds "My parents were ballroom dancers who compete, I kinda absorbed that trait when I was a kid. I guess I was inspired by them. I've been preparing for this role my whole dance life, I fell that I am ready and credible to be mentoring Top Class, I'm ready to work. Any superstar or celebrity I worked with. Being in a couple reality shows, I've seen how mentors became really good behind the camera. I'm going to be an educator, to make everyone be better. That's what I'm here for."

By the way, today is the last day to submit your audition videos, if you haven't yet please do because this is a big opportunity especially for dance fanatics, if you are part of crews who have been in the Philippine contest scene for a long time.

This show is brought to you by KUMU, CS Entertainment, TV5 and Cignal.

Maja Salvador, Your "Majestic Superstar"

Now dubbed as the Majestic Superstar, Ms. Maja Salvador has indeed earned this title. After years of successfully doing shows and several drama series, we got to see her in the flesh a couple days ago in TV5 studios/Launchpad in Mandaluyong City. This year has been a very fruitful year for her because apart from her highly successful show Niña Niño (who’s still raking in high ratings and awards), she was able to put up her talent management company who now is trusted by artists with the likes of John Lloyd Cruz, several singers, and even social media influencers. This time, Cignal and her management team are celebrating their renewal of ties as Maja will be continuing her projects with the network and signed it in simple ceremonies a few days ago.

As you know, her shows are doing well in TV5 and Cignal’s platforms, all of which has been trusted by producers, advertisers alike. Maja also recently won the Best Actress Award in a Drama at the Asian Academy Creative Awards (her second one) and production for another series and a sitcom will be done this year. During the press conference, they also told us that Niña Niño is now going to be shown in Netflix and hopefully have more of their programs in the platform soon. She’s extremely happy about how things seem to have fallen into place including a relationship that has had a second wind with hottie businessman and Crown Artist Management Chief Executive Officer Rambo Ortega who was also there to support her.

CIGNAL and TV5 head honcho Robert Galang also was excited about their plans as they have more in store for the public this 4th quarter and early next year. They were very careful not spoiling things because as they say, this is just the start of Maja’s projects in the network. Here’s our video coverage of the event a few days ago:

 

 

 

Here's how Maja manages her time

 

 

Here's Maja signing her renewal with TV5 and CIGNAL

Maja deserves the accolades, the success and the title of Majestic Superstar. Congratulations Maja! Here’s to more of these fruitful projects with Cignal and TV5!

Continuing A Legacy: TV5 and Cignal's "Bilang Pilipino 2022 Election Coverage"

For starters, is the Presidential series called "Kandidatalks" which they've done with Go Negosyo (an NGO) wherein they'll talk about Business, Work and Health. It will be moderated by Cheryl Cosim. The series will run from March 21 to 25. It will be replayed from March 26, April 2 and 9 on TV5 at 9PM. If you prefer wathching it earlier, it's going to be seen on One PH Channel 1 at 10:30AM and One Nwews Channel 8/250 for HD at 5:30PM.

Cignal and APT Entertainment Partner Up for BUKO Channel

The smart and fun people over at Cignal just inked a partnership with APT Entertainment to bring a one of a kind 24/7 Filipino comedy channel on direct to home satellite television called BUKO Channel. This would be launched this coming August but before that, we got to talk to some of Cignal and APT Entertainment's executives and asked them about the current dry runs they did while on test broadcast. The plan is definitely huge. The programming would be a mix of old classics, reruns of your favorite sitcoms, and new fresh ideas that the production and artists actually worked on before and during the pandemic.

 As the VTR was playing, it contained a few programs that were quite familiar to me. They showed Tropang Trumpo, Bubble Gang, Pidol's Wonderland, new ones like Jose and Wally's Kalabog and Bosyo, Pokwang's Kusina ni Mamang and Maine Mendoza's very own travel show called #MaineGoals. They also have a current events spoof program called News Patol - Patulan ang Balita. It's something that BUKO Channel will feature, just for you guys because here, their goal is to make you "Feel. Good."

 Here's APT Entertainment CEO Antonio P. Tuviera telling us about the plans for BUKO Channel and the artists that are going to be involved in it. Of course, Maine Mendoza will be starring in a new show!

 

He says "This is the culmination of a very long journey. We have been working on this for almost 5 years and this time, we're launching a 24/7 comedy channel to provide something new for the audience. We need something like this right now, to laugh, inspire and encourage people. We just need this to get through the day, hence we're now BUKO Channel. This is being born during the right time. We've partnered with Cignal to give what the audience really wants and need during this time. We want the younger audience to see how the masters did it hence Buko originals. Now people know where to go if they want to have fun. Maine really wants to do new things, and she wants to do her bucket list. She's very shy, and this is designed to take her out of her comfort zone. She's going to go places, immerse, experience things that she hasn't experienced. Maine Goals is an attempt to experience more in life. Kusina ni Mamang started when Pokwang and I talked, she has been thinking about how to cook with the younger generation in mind. Kusina ni Mamang will prepare traditional dishes and do it the right way, cross over and pass on the recipes to younger celebrities so they could know and prepare like they used to. We planned this for two years and she's so happy that this has come true. The delay from 2019 to now was difficult, we couldn't control safety because they need to travel and interact with people, and we had to postpone taping because of Covid."

Cignal TV Inc. FVP/Head for Channels and Content Management Ate Sienna B. Olaso adds "Cignal TV wants the best possible content for all our viewers and partnering with APT Entertainment was just an awesome thing to do. They've provided entertainment to Filipinos for decades and they know their puls, they're our audience. BuKo is the first 24/7 local comedy channel in the Philippines. We are fueled by our shared passion to create and offer quality programming. You will see top-notch entertainment only on BuKo Channel."

See you on BuKo channel as they officially launch it on August 2, 2021. These shows will be broadcasted on Cignal TV Channel 2, SatLite Channel 2 and the Cignal Play app which you can download on the App Store and Google Play. If you want to have your own Cignal unit, go check cignal.tv for plans that you can avail. This would be really exciting for fans of Filipino comedy.

Discovering Pop Icons of this Generation: PoPinoy

New and fresh content coming out of TV5 just isn't a surprise anymore, quite expected. I'm saying that because as I logged in on a zoom press conference a few days ago, the stars from other networks have converged on TV5 to make a one of a kind talent show called PoPinoy aimed to discover even more world class Filipinos, put them on stage and make it their way to stardom!

What's more interesting is the composition of mentors and judges which includes her Majesty Maja Salvador, King of RnB Jay-R, Viral Dance Sensation DJ Loonyo and Theatre Siren Kayla Rivera. You see, the folks responsible for these are Cignal, production house Archangel Media and communications company TNT. They know this industry front and back, so this would be like a reality show wherein we'll be following the contestants journey into stardom. In a way, if you get attached, we wouldn't be surprised. I felt all their excitement as stars on the show shared stories.

TV5 President and CEO Robert P. Galang says "Cignal and TV5 is commited to give you relevant and quality content that not only entertain, but to empower our kapatids. With TNT, we are launching this to showcase talented Filipinos around the world! We will be with them all the way, we hope you support the new show here on TV5!"

Mike Tuviera of Archangel Media says "I can't wait to open this nationwide. We are meeting more people, develop their skills and talent to make them the best performers and singers too." 

Jane Basas of Smart says "TNT has always championed pinoy talent and we always support it. We want to present them in a bigger platform so we are doing this nationwide. TV5 is the best partner as they share the same vision. We're glad to become part of the journey of our talents. They will also be TNT's ambassadors, we will bring them all over the Philippines. We'll have a TNT Pop Show that will also be hosted by Darren Espanto wherein we will have new guests that you will all love! I can't wait to see more of our Filipino talent and the winner of this show. TNT believes they have the same passion as ours to discover more talented Filipino youth hence this partnership." 

Hosting the show is Paolo Ballesteros and Maine Mendoza. Maine says "I have seen in Eat Bulaga the sheer amount of talent that Filipinos have... and it needed a platform so they too can be seen. This show will be different, because it is different! We're also going to tell their stories which would make their journey more interesting. There's lots of things you should look forward to in PoPinoy!" 

Maja Salvador adds "I am excited to work with these talented people. They made ways to really put us together and requested that we need to do this... and now this happened. This was just something off that awards night when I signaled that I wanted to work with them, remember that? Me managing talents is not a one man team, I have a lot of people who help me and it really is not my decision alone. We're going to judge and train them more in this competition, which is a bit difficult because it's not just a singing competition, everyone is going to audition and we have to see their potential. That part is going to be challenging."

You'll be seeing how they will discover the biggest PPop sensation, you'll be seeing the girl and boy groups on a primer this coming June 6th at 8PM, while the first episode will happen on June 13, Sunday at 7PM on TV5 and a catch up episode on Colours and on Cignal at around 9:30pm the same day. You can also watch it on the Cignal Play app so if you haven't downloaded that on your smartphone, maybe this is a good day to do it.

Discover world class talent in this joint, see you on Sunday ha?!

CRISTINE REYES and DIEGO LOYZAGA on ENCOUNTER PH Adaptation

Undeniably one of the most watched KDrama in television and cable history and one of the most revered shows where Park Bo Gum stars is this one called "Encounter" which he stars with Song Hye Kyo. Well, it's going to be shown on TV5, Sari Sari Channel and on the Cignal Play App. Thing is, this is the Filipino adaptation and from the looks of it, it's going to have its own flavor as the ones reprising the role of Selene and Gino is Cristine Reyes and Diego Loyzaga.

For those who watched the Korean flick, they did some scenes in Cuba right? This time, since the constraints of the pandemic happened, they got scenic sunsets done in Ilocos Norte and Subic which made this even more interesting. The love story between a divorcee hotelier and a person who later they find out worked for her is going to get your frustrations worked up as they solve their relationship and her former husband's family. She's very successful, upon making a dying business evolve into an empire. It was so nice to see how Cristine and Diego portray their complicated characters as they are going to put their personal and Filipino flavor. This afternoon, we got to ask questions about the show and here's some of it on video:

Aside from Cristine and Diego, they will be flanked by a colorful ensemble cast which includes Kean Cipriano, Robert Seña, Maricel Morales, Yayo Aguila, Louise delos Reyes, Gardo Versoza, Isay Alvarez and more. ENCOUNTER will be shown every Saturday at 8PM and the catch up episodes will be the next day on Sari Sari channel. You can also download the Cignal Play App if you're elsewhere in the country and prefer to watch it streaming instead. 

This is also Diego Loyzaga's comeback after a long hiatus in show business. You might want to watch his star shine more.

Get Ready for SING GALING!

It was a hit show in the late 90's which lasted for a couple years, but if there is someone who deserves a reboot, it is the hit show SING GALING. It was then ABC5's nationally renowned karaoke competition that puts to the test the Filipino's knowledge of their national pastime.

This time, the hosts will be 80's icon Randy Santiago, the Philippines Jessie J comedienne Ms. K Brosas and funny power belter Donita Nose. Judges will include legendary Rey Valera, Jessa Zaragoza, and crooner Ronnie Liang. They will also have YouTuber Zendee host the online show plus several Tiktok artists to cover parts of the show (that will also be Tiktok performance driven). A lot of people liked the previous format, but this will be a lot different from the late 90's show. As Director Mel Feliciano puts it, people will see how contestants progress in each round. After being the champion of the day, you will get to battle it out with the next day's contestant so you kinda get a larger amount if you beat the next day champ too. Your prize will also depend on the number of words you mention correctly in a song, so you've really got to brush up with the lyrics.

Ray Valera, Jessa Zaragoza, Ronnie Liang mentioned that this wouldn't be like other game shows where they would require absolute perfection on the way people are singing the pieces because as you would know, much of these songs will be just a surprise. So in way, they know you won't know the songs 100 percent, which makes sense if they see you missing a word or two of it. Here's part of the interview we had with them this afternoon.

 

 

Anyway, it'll start on Mondays through Fridays at 6:30PM. They want to also be part of your dinner habits so if its possible, they want to you watch with your family during that time. Go get ready for your stint in SING GALING!

Why I'm Itching To Try CIGNAL This Year

 

 

 Honestly I have said that statement in the last couple of years especially when my cable connection gets a little sporadically unusable when it rains, or just plain randomly. Cignal has been consistently growing their user base year-on-year and this 2021, they're coming out with more promos and content. For starters, they've amped up programming in their home grown channels (if you read my other articles you would have known by now). 

Cignal just got crazy. If you are currently on another provider, they are urging you to get their best plan yet. Imagine, they can give you 3 FREE MONTHS of subscription, waived the activation fees (that's already 1,5K) if you subscribe now through Cignal's Plan 520 and up. Just show them your previous bill and they'll accommodate you, but this promo will only be until September 30, 2021 (which gives you ample time to decide eh?). Cignal also has monthly loading options so you don't have to worry too much about it once its installed. Their Ultimate HD Kit is now priced at Php 1,990 from its original price of Php 2,790. That's a lot!  If you've already got a satellite dish at home, you can get it for Php 1,490, then on top of those offers, Cignal will hook you up with a Buy 1 Take 1 Month Free load offer. See? Unbelievable no?

KALEL, 15 Shows On Theaters Today

Fresh from their win at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival for Best Director, the film Kalel, 15 will be shown on theaters today on theaters nationwide. Elijah Canlas is the young lead actor for this project and yes, he has gotten the admiration of several members of the jury and the audience during their premiere night at the same festival. The story revolves around a 15 year old student who is  a Son of a priest and is HIV positive. 

“Working with a large cast of mostly very young actors he has made a film which feels deeply -rooted in the everyday lives of its characters. His film pulls away from the sticking-plaster from the wound of the AIDS epidemic among young people of the Philippines and exposes the terror and violence that this crisis imposes on them. It’s a passionate and concerned film about lives we never see in the West.” – Jury comment, Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival

They let us in on some things that happened during the shoot, Elijah shared “The production made an alter account for me and it had tons of followers the next day. It had my body shots but it had stickers so it didn’t show me. I had to lose weight, no abs, just an ordinary boy. I had to eat two apples for two or three weeks. If the scrip calls for it and I trust the director, I will do anything. If Direk Jun is shooting it, I am good. I just finished “He who is without sin” with Enzo Pineda and that will show soon. I am thankful Ms Jaclyn has been so good to me, also Tito Eddie Garcia. They are on a different league and caliber, it was just an honor to have been able to work with him. He advised me to always be early, learn the script and always be kind to everyone on set. It’s what I do now as an actor, I will forever be grateful for that advise.”

Director Jun Robles Lana also shared some of his future plans and adds “We are talking about a movie, perhaps a modern version of macho dancers. For now there are no plans yet, maybe with the same cast and a different script. We’ll have to see how it materializes soon. I am so honored to have been able to win the Best Director award in Estonia. I hope this resonates with people, but it was an entirely different audience and I was so surprised about their reaction. You would need to understand the reaction of his parents, his community and how society accepts him. He will tell his story, his secrets, if it comes out or not. I am grateful to have the honor of working with Eddie Garcia, I have had many opportunities to work with him and I haven’t seen anyone of his caliber.”

He adds "From the time I presented this project at the 2014 Hong Kong-Asia Film Financing Forum, the story has evolved into a more complex narrative.  After years of research and interviews, what started out as a mere tale of secrets and scandal became an examination of youth culture, particularly young people in peril, and a society that cares so little about them… On the surface, the movie is about a young boy’s struggle to belong and embrace life’s complications. But on a deeper level, it is about all of us, our search for meaning in a world where the very institutions we’re supposed to look up to are weighed down with hypocrisy, dishonesty and deception.”

Here’s a short interview we did a few days ago.

Kalel, 15 will interest you about the plight of teens with HIV, their lives and the stigma attached to the condition. It is something that teens should watch, to educate, hopefully even the generations who still think and take things lightly. Go watch it on theaters today December 18. This is under Cignal Entertainment, Octobertrain Films and The IdeaFirst Company. Cast also includes Elora Españo, Cedrick Juan, Sue Prado and Gabby Padilla. Go see it for its merits!

CIGNAL Presents “Ang Babaeng Allergic Sa WIFI”

In this day and age, the internet is a necessity. I get panic and manic depressed whenever I’m not connected so I’m very thankful to Smart for always getting me there, connected with friends, family and loved ones. This particular thing though has it’s drawbacks.

This is where this movie starts off, in a remote island where you totally get disconnected from the comforts of communication, of technology and just about everything that has got to be connected with it. I’ve seen milennials go ballistic at the mere thought of that, no sms, no Twitter, no Messenger, no Facebook, no Youtube, just life, would you survive and do romance without it all? This is what Sue Ramirez, Markus Peterson, Jameson Blake intends to tell you a story of in “Ang Babaeng Allergic sa WIFI”. This is directed by Jun Lana, who as of recent has gotten their first trailer to get 1 Million views, trend number 1 with the second trailer on Twitter, a feat that they’d be so happy about converting to movie tickets one that the Pista Ng Pelikulang Pilipino 2018 commences on August, eagerly waited by fans and netizens alike.

This is in partnership with CIGNAL Entertainment, The Ideafirst Company and Octobertrain Films. Would she be able to last long in this predicament? Would you do the same when it would cost you the man of your dreams? Or would it be horror for you to disconnect from all the norms now?

Make sure to watch “Ang Babaeng Allergic Sa Wifi” and get more information about it via Cignal Entertainment’s Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/CignalEntertainment/  and the “Ang Babaeng Allergic Sa WiFi’s” Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/AngBabaengAllergicSaWiFi/. 

It’s all there!
