TV5 Ready for RIO2016 Live Coverage!

I am still trying to get over those olympic qualifiers where the Philippines proved to be at par with the world's best and I just learned that it's only 5 days to go before the actual Summer Olympics start at Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The most awaited part will happen on August 6 the open ceremonies wherein these olympians will march down the grand stadium so they could wave to the crowd and represent their country in the most awesome sports event that only happens every 4 years.

TV5 has been able to get the biggest sports events covered, not to mention the last FIBA Olympics Qualifying Tournament just last month and they've done a spectacular job doing that. This RIO2016 won't be different as they will show some of the most exciting matches and events that our own 12 Filipino athletes will compete in. The rest of us at home should cheer because once they step into the ring or run on that track, we need to give them the support they deserve so we could win that elusive gold medal. 

Catch the LIVE RIO OLYMPICS broadcast that will happen 7AM on August 6 at TV5 or you can stream it on www.SPORTS5.ph and all other affiliated channels on cable and UHF TV. The RIO2016 coverage is of course presented and powered by PLDT and SMART, the country's biggest network! Let's all get that Filipino heart pumping when it starts on August 6 and end on August 22, 2016!

TV5 Praised with "Bilang Pilipino" Election Coverage

I know I did, and a bunch of countless Filipinos I know. TV5's coverage is bar none the winner in the recent election coverage. They might have been one of the smallest news crews around but they've planned it well and used technologies so they can stream easily anywhere even with a phone. Aside from that, they heavily used graphics so ordinary people would be able to easily understand what the counts mean, that includes data from previous Presidential elections, and what the transparency server meant for each and everyone who wanted clean elections.

This is the work and synergy of the MVP Group of Companies. TV5 achieved its fast, accurate election results and updates because of them with the backing of the biggest network in the country Smart Communications and PLDT. It became apparent that the use of these technologies and proper planning was the reason why they did great in broadcast, digital, mobile and social media channels. TV5 President and CEO Emmanuel Lorenzana said "This in-depth election coverage was a product of a right goal, team work, intensive planning and preparation. We wanted the coverage to provide intensive information made available across all media. We had appreciation from viewers and netizens because of how fast information including election results was made available both online and via television."

The Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility even lauded them saying it is the clear winner in terms of news and production value. They complemented the ones I appreciated earlier like the voter demographics, voter preference, step-by- step procedures in the election process, exit survey figures and other data-driven pieces which was available most of the time in their channel's display. Mind you they did this in an uninterrupted 48 hour coverage so that really shows dedication. They'll be continuing to provide the best their network could provide. With the powers that be of PLDT, Smart, Voyager, Talas, News5, News5Everywhere, Interaksyon, The Philippine Star and Business World, you'll get the information fast and effective until June 30 when President Digong comes in.

Stay tuned for TV5's Bilang Pilipino coverage, as I will too!

Sam Concepcion Endorses Chef's Noodle Philippines

It was a little crowded a few days ago in Chef's Noodle, the first international franchise of a brand from South Korea. I wasn't surprised because it is after all Sam Concepcion that is going to be there. Other celebrities like Grace Lee and couple Lloyd & Shamcey Supsup-Lee also endorsed this restaurant. It's a short 5 minute drive from where I live which is just in Robinsons Magnolia - Aurora Boulevard in Quezon City. They promise to serve the best Korean dishes and make your KPop dreams come true.   

Sam Concepcion embodies the strong, active, energetic characteristics of Korean youth much like the same with Filipinos and he says he stays at joints like these because the food is good and the prices are affordable. They have the usual things on the menu but they also have specials. I'd have to say the truth and tell you that I didn't like the others in the buffet prolly because they were serving a lot of people during the launch and prepared them ahead of time. The food might be better when you order them on a regular day because as I said it was a little too crowded that afternoon that I had to eat outside the restaurant (food court I mean).

They have average quality maki/sushi, but quite good fried rice, jap chae and spicy tofu. I think they've got that spicy tofu nailed because the texture is still nice and I love the kick the sauce entails. If I'm going back I'll probably get to order that again.

A bit of trivia: this was also the place where Sam admitted the incident with Anne Curtis- so it did happen. He also said that he totally understands where she is coming from because he knows Anne was just probably being protective. Sam Concepcion is still going strong with Jasmine Curtis who is his girlfriend. 

Make sure you visit Chef's Noodle if you want to satisfy your Korean dish cravings. They've got more items on the menu that would be really great to try like the Bibimbap, Haemul Seafood Pajun, Leek Shrimp Twigim, Chicken Kas, Spicy Dukbokki and their desserts ice cream/gelato. Their Operations Manager Ms. Nancy Go says they promise to delight you with more signature dishes and new ones, a welcome statement to customers that afternoon. 

They have stores in Robinsons Magnolia, University Mall, Atlanta Center, SM North Edsa, The Block, Robinsons Malolos and soon in SM Megamall. Check out the channels below if you want to see special offers and contests from Chef's Noodle.
