Looks like the Philippines will have to wake up early to see who among their favorite American artists would win at the 2021 American Music Awards. It's going to be aired this Monday at 9AM Philippine time.

Among those expected to be adored in this year's festivities are artists Bruno Mars, the phenomenal BTS, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Olivia Rodrigo, The Weeknd and a whole lot more. AMA's remain to be the biggest fan vote based awards and you can vote for your favorite artists on TikTok by just searching for AMAs on the app. Performances by world class artists are expected from various genres including POP, RnB, Country, latin, KPOP and a whole lot more. The show will be hosted by the well loved Cardi B whom herself is an AMA award winner. She also is nominated for 3 of them this year.

I heard BTS Army members should look forward to a memorable performance from their idols because it'll be a different "Butter" that they will see during the event. Aside from that, you will witness performances from Bruno Mars, Anderson, Paak, Bad Bunny, Tainy, Julieta Venegas, Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, New Edition, New Kids On the Block, Diplo, Maneskin, Mickey Guyton, Tyler the Creator, Walker Hayes and Zoe Wees among other surprises.

My fascination with KPOP is just starting; and just recently, BTS just released their newest single Butter under their HYBE label. This is their 9th English digital single, but second all English song which means they're catering to the international audience that have been their stern supporter all these years.

New HALLYPOP Channel on GMA Affordabox

Adding an additional channel on digital takes a lot of work. Much like putting up UHF TV you're bound to have a separate concept, lineup of shows and content that is different from the ones you already have and GMA knows there is a call for more Asian entertainment content. Recently, they partnered with Jungo TV (international streaming media company) to launch HALLYPOP, a one stop KPop, variety and entertainment digital channel in the country. 

Delivering to what is expected of them, recent lineup of shows include superstar KPOP group BTS GOT7, and Twice in variety show Running Man. Aside from that, they also showcased From The Sky Down of world renowned band U2, and the queen Beyonce on her I AM World Tour.

There are also weekly scheduled shows to be seen on the channel like Music Bank, StarGazeMuzik, KPop Star, Hally Stage so expect these daily dose of entertainment not to stop anytime soon. If you've got your own GMA Affordabox, you need to re-scan the channels and get this on your screen.

GMA Chairman and CEO Felipe Gozon says "We are grateful to Jungo TV and Mr. Chung for entrusting us to distribute their content in the Philippines. This is just the first of many to be shown soon on the HALLYPOP channel."

This has already been a huge success in the US and now that it is on Philippine shores, there's no stopping pinoys to ride the Hallyu Wave in the HALLYPOP channel. Come ride the wave with them!

EXCLUSIVE: Ella, Nash, Jane and Diego for BUM Black Army

It looks like a great day to celebrate something from BUM. Yes, the street wear brand has made their own Black Army to surprise these artists and their followers with looks that they can wear when they're out on the streets, or just keeping cool colors while in school. Now I know you've seen the exclusive behind the scenes for Ella, Jane, Nash and Diego for the holiday collection here but I'm sure you'll enjoy what I have left for the Black Army.

Not everyone was on the frame so while Jane Oineza was shooting some things for her own line with BUM (Oh yes she does have one!) Ella Cruz and Nash Aguas was role playing. Ella was like asking for Nash Aguas' autograph and they ran around the set like kids. So every time they have a shoot for BUM, they are having fun!

Then we checked out Jane Oineza's photo shoot. Surprisingly, this isn't like the other shirts she wore because this time she's having skirts and more classy tops for her own line.

A lot of love, a lot of attention to detail. I know BUM has definitely thought of this way before Jane Oineza probably came out of the PBB house. The skirts, the sleeved blouses looked very expensive on her even though it only costs a couple of hundred bucks. The material is amazing, you guys should check these items out in BUM stores nationwide soon!

Jane was a little tired during the shoot because she haven't had that much sleep yet I was informed. It's pretty good that she's kept busy because that's exactly how ABSCBN could help her and her family. Her fun Mom was there too, always to show support for her and BUM. Her glam team, even the photographer Ash Reginald Evasco made sure it won't show on camera, being meticulous as possible so you can see how gorgeous Jane is.

I also like this jumpsuit that they had on the last few shots. It looks good on her, and I'm sure it will look good on you too. Dressing up should be easy, nothing complicated, and BUM can get you there.

On the other side of the studio, they were already preparing the shots for Nash and Ella. Of course, Nash had a LOT of time to play around on the set. As you can see, Ella was very behaved. Well not really LOL!

You'll probably see some videos posted on the BUM Facebook page that won't just contain behind the scenes shots by the BUM crew, but by Nash himself. He was very interested about how the videocam worked so he's asking for a new iPhone 6 Plus for his birthday! Paging BUM! LOL. They also had a small talk with Rai Lacoste to see where they will be with the direction of the shoot. He wants the peg to be a little close to edgy, classy streetwear. Then again, Ella and Nash had to play around the set again.

They were that playful around the set!

Then we had Nash do some stills for the BUM Black Army Collection.

Then we also got Nash and Ella to pair up in some of the shots.

I'm sure you'll see a lot of these in the upcoming months going to one grand celebration coming real soon! I'll be there to cover it too!

Please continue to support Nash Aguas, Ella Cruz, Diego Loyzaga and Jane Oineza everytime they have a campaign with BUM by buying stuff that they endorse. Do it also so that they will still have these guys and gals future campaigns. The billboards are all over EDSA and Manila so if you want to see more of BUM's Black Army. Hope you love them all!
