NINA Set to do "LOVE MATTERS" Concert at New Frontier Theater this Valentines Season

The one and only Asia's Diamond Soul Siren Nina has been heavily missed and this February 7th, she's ending that with her very own concert titled "LOVE MATTERS" which will be at the New Frontier Theater at Araneta City.

Nina says "You have to stay with your roots, it's challenging for an artist and singer. Even if it's your sound, you change it to what is current so you remain relevant. Folks should sing, interpret it the way the audience would feel it too. People listen, and it could be technical but they should know how to make folks people feel the love. My daughter has been noticing how people are approaching me and take photos. She's got clues now."

She adds "I haven't found any challenging song because I really do learn it first before recording. Maybe if I could do Through The Fire, put a spin on it that is more acoustic rather than belting. I still get nervous, I think every time I do get nervous because I always want to put out a great performance. I don't drink, nor smoke, so I take good care of my voice. I don't eat pork and beef, I eat everything else that makes me happy."

She tells us "There will be new songs, perhaps this year a new single or album. Love Moves was the one I got to really enjoy in the Nina Live album. We will certainly celebrate all kinds of love in the Love Matters concert."

Here's more of our interview with her:

AEGIS: "Halik Sa Ulan" - A Valentines Special at the New Frontier Theater

People sorely miss the Filipino pop rock band AEGIS. With the passing of their lead vocalist Mercy Sunot last November, it would be an injustice to just leave their music and legacy behind. This coming February 1 and 2, they'll be holding a concert entitled AEGIS: Halik Sa Ulan, A Valentines Special at the New Frontier Theater, Araneta City.

Juliet and Ken will bring you some of their best hits plus a throng of love songs, putting their own AEGIS spin so you could get the lovely valentine's day feels you've been looking for.They will also be performing songs with AEGIS' keyboardist Stella Pablico, drummer Vilma Goloviongo, bassist Weng Adriano and their lead guitarist Rey Abenoja. For sure, there will be a part of the show that will be dedicated to Ms. Mercy, and how she was able to put up a good fight, and how important it would be to continue living with their music as we remember her. If you've been following her on TikTok, you could see how she still performed like there was no tomorrow, something that we'd want to always remember her for right? Also performing in the show is promising singing boy group Formula 5. Aside from that, guests like Asia's Phoenix Morisette Amon, Jona, Ogie Alcasid and Julie Anne San Jose plus surprise guests will be singing in between numbers, and also do productions with the band, something you surely would love to see. 

We talked to the band this afternoon at the press conference held at VIVA CAFE and asked them what will happen at the show. AEGIS would like to thank Geof Lagria Styling, Alex Ruelo Photography, and their sponsors Uratex Monoblock, Power Melo, Boss Max 3, Newport World Resorts and Viva Cafe. This show is produced by Cues + Fues Advertising Inc. and creative direction by FLM Creatives. This is directed by Frank Lloyd Mamaril.

Make sure you get tickets via TICKETNET.COM.PH on either dates because they promise nostalgia, the same brand of music and more this coming February 1 and 2. 

BARBIE FORTEZA and DAVID LICAUCO Wishes Box Office Success for "THAT KIND OF LOVE"

Looks like the quest of finding love will be easy when you watch this new movie called THAT KIND OF LOVE. This stars well loved pairing Barbie Forteza and David Licauco, popularly known as #BarDa. 

They've been really followed quite intensely during GMA series "Maria Clara at Ibarra", but this is the first time that they are doing a movie, under neophyte Pocket Media Productions Inc. The material was crafted by Ellis Catrina who has made this specifically for them. This is directed by Catherine O. Camarillo, who's first film under the same outfit "Chances are, You and I" was well received by critics for its very compelling story.

 

"That Kind of Love" will be featured  in Japan as a spotlight entry under the Jinseo Arigato International Festival. This will be held in Nagoya, Japan. While the local screening will start on July 10th which is a few weeks from now. They will also be doing a premiere night on July 4th, so make sure you go and support them (especially if you are a BarDa fan). Know that parts of the movie has been shot in South Korea. Both Barbie and David enjoyed doing scenes in Seoul where much of the shoot happened.

Barbie says "There were so many risks done in making this movie. There is pressure, much so because people are just starting to go back to cinemas. But I am confident about our project, our film, because who doesn't want to feel good? to fall in love? This is what we want to offer, and our goal is for you to fall in love with David once you go out of the theater."

David adds "We are pressured, but I know how good the material is. This is also directed by Direk CC. As long as we do our part in promoting the film, I know this will do good in the box office. I can control the things that I can do, so we just have to promote and help the movie."

People have already seen the trailer, and had really good feedback. The Director mentioned how this is not the work of one person, but a lot of people who did their best to make this movie what it is now. It's a quality film, and Barbie wants people to patronize the movie based on its merits, and because it is done excellently. She also hopes that Filipinos start watching Filipino made films first before they venture on watching other films from different countries. Here are parts of the press conference where we asked questions for Barbie, David, Ms. Arlene Mulach, Divine Aucina, Ivan Carapiet and Jef Gaitan who were there that afternoon. .

As of today, word has it that the fan base of both Barbie and David are arranging block screenings in different theaters nationwide. They are also asking Sparkle management for a little lee way in their schedules so they could attend the screenings as they happen.

I felt how happy Ms. Arlene was when she told the story of how kilig she got when she saw Barbie and David portrayed Mila and Adam. Will this perfect guy fall in love with the dating guru? Who knows! Best to watch it in cinemas when it goes out on the 10th!
