Artists Warn Expect the Unexpected on SING GALING SINGLEBRITY EDITION This Weekend

Got the chance to see the Sing Galing Singlebrity Edition 2025 folks yesterday and what good things they've got on sleeve as they prepare their first episode this coming September 27 on TV5 and their other assets. Veteran judges Rey Valera, Randy Santiago and several celebrities told us about their experience and what to expect on the show.

Of course, different people means different personalities. Aside from being serious about the contest part of the show, Sir Rey Valera told us "You'll get to see the good side of the contestants (that we also are with in the industry) when we talk about their individual charities. They are doing this to help folks that are in need. They will do everything for them, that's what is fun in this show because of that different angle. Doing this is like not turning away from your promises in helping others. This is also a way to give back for the years they've been supporting us as artists. People who watch our show sometimes go on wheelchairs, when you get to age and still sing, you are relevant, if you want to pass it to the next generation, this is how you should do it."

Singer Ariel Rivera says "I can say, expect the unexpected. I know some of the contestants are good actors, but when I heard them sing, they're really really talented. People think we only act on screen but we're happy to be part of this and share our talent to help others. We appreciate those that appreciate us. We're friends for years (talking about other artists on the show), being kind goes a long way."

Nina added "I love my fans, they're not all perfect but they are the reason where we are right now. We shouldn't forget that."

K Brosas told us "We're not at the top but we're not going away, we love our craft and the people that work with us. We are thankful and remember our roots."

Here's more of our interviews after the event:

Oh by the way, Rey Valera and a couple of his friends are establishing a way to support up and coming artists on their new YouTube channel. If you want to be part of it, just visit youtube.com/@Sigma54music to get in touch with them. This is his way to leave a legacy. 

And again, make sure you watch SING GALING SINGLEBRITY EDITION because it will premiere this September 27 at 7PM and 8PM on Sunday on TV5, Buko Channel and Sari-Sari Channel too. It's going to be super fun!

SING GALING: Sing-lebrity Edition Starts This September 27

Looks like your weekend watching will be severely interesting as TV5 amps up one of their hottest fun shows SING GALING as it enters another installment of SING GALING: Sing-lebrity Edition to find the Ultimate Bida-oke Sing-lebrity. 

 

Hosted by gorgeous Donita Nose, funny vixen comedienne K Brosas and literally *shadey* Randy Santiago this coming September 27 onwards. This is for the benefit of their individual "Bidaficiaries" and will be judged by Rey Valera, Ariel River, Nina, Ella May Saison, Mitoy Yonting and Ethel Booba.

And if that's not enough, they'll be fielding in over 48 celebrities in the show coming from different genres and industries. They have the opportunity to choose their charities and help if they get to be the Ultimate Bida-Oke Singlebrity. This includes Almira Teng, Andrew Muhlach, Anton Diva, Arman Salon, Bobby Andrews, Carmi Martin, CJ Navato, CJ Opiaza, CJ Ramos, Chad Kinis, Cedrick Juan, Dawn Chang, Divine Tetay, Dominic Ochoa, Gio Alvarez, Gus Abelgas, Jay Gonzaga, Jay Manalo, Jeff Tam, Johannes Rissler, Keanna Reeves, Krissha Viaje, Kych Minemoto, Laila Chikadora, Leandro Baldemor, Lloyd Samartino, Luis Alandy, Madam Kilay, Mark Ian Garcia, Maoui David, Maui Taylor, Meryll Soriano, Nathalie Hart, Nikki Valdez, Noel Comia, Patricia Javier, Rey “PJ” Abellana, Rikki Mae Davao, Romnick Sarmenta, Rufa Mae Quinto, Ryle Santiago, Sexbomb Mia Pangyarihan, Sexbomb Monic Icban, Troy Montero, Valerie Concepcion, Via Antonio and Yobab. As you can see there are TV, film and theater actors, singers, and internet celebrities who will surely do their best to get that crown.

 

Let's not forget your Singtokers (Gab, Queenay, Ari G, Yanyan, Muse Jazz, Niko and Zendee) who will also do hosting duties, online so you get to know the contestants through behind the scene segments for the duration of the show. Again, this shows 7PM on Saturdays and 8PM on Sundays and will be shown on TV5, Sari Sari Channel, Buko Channel, and TV5 social accounts where available.

This will certainly be an exciting year for you, those who love these celebrities, and their chosen charities. So who's your bet?

VIBE JOCKS Making Remarkable Noise Over at VIBE: YOU Have The Power To Top The Charts!

You've probably seen it and getting a little too comfy to see VIBE, the new countdown show which premiered last August 9th on TV5 and on several MediaQuest platforms. You've probably seen something like it, but this is totally different as it is people driven, which means YOU have a hand of what particular singer, song, artist, songwriter or prod would take the top spot. Also, they've got some new folks to keep you company in each program on VIBE called VIBE JOCKS, and we met some of them a few days ago.

We met with mogul actor host and my buddy Ryle Santiago, singer and actress Ana Ramsey, good looking actor Kych Minemoto, dancer and actor Paulo Angeles, super good looking dancer actor and host Joao Constancia, the pretty internet star Queenay Mercado, the super talented and RPDR PH Season 3 Queen Maxie Andreison, new actor and commercial model Dylan Menor. Vibe Jock Elijah Canlas was supposed to be there too but he had movie scheds conflicting with the launch. He was VERY present in materials/photos though!

Ryle Santiago as a VIBE JOCK

Ryle has been doing good with his several businesses (oh yes he's handling 3 companies), recently hosting hot shows like Face 2 Face Harapan and acting jobs too.  He says "You know I'm just beginning to grasp how huge this is. I thought it was going to be just another show that I have to host, and you know me, I'm very passionate about what I do. Hearing about who our partners are, how grand of a scale they plan to do with these shows, I am quite shocked because this is going to be a major responsibility for me. It's different from what I've done before. I'm so thankful for "It's Showtime!" for really being my training ground in hosting shows. It gave me my live selling skills and powers to also do Face 2 Face. Vibe is going to be a perfect playground and put everything that I learned into this show. We'll be tackling Filipino music. We're also a countdown show, and will be here every day of the week. From Vibe on weekends, Vibe Up and Vibe Nights on weekdays, Vibe TV on Saturdays and Vibe Cafe online show on Sunday, we're going to have so much fun with VIBE."

He also shared how there's lots of things planned in the pipeline including guests on the show. If you would like an OPM artist to be there and perform, voting for them would certainly make it happen. Much of these things are also live, so it falls on your end to show how much love to give them on the shows.

Here's more of what we talked about on the sidelines:

And that's not all... because you've got more VIBE JOCKS to entertain you all throughout the day. VIBE JOCK Dylan Menor says "I'm very excited about this new project with TV5 and Mediaquest. I believe VIBE is going to be a great platform not just for artists, but those who work behind the music. We'll get to know their stories, see them perform and do things beyond what folks usually see in concerts. That's certainly something that you should look forward to when VIBE arrives on TV and other channels. I like the genre of Gen Z's, but I'm quite open to any genre, I want things that are energetic!"

Joao was quite happy about the fact that fans now have a hand of who will be on the top of the charts. The shows will also be a good platform not just for established artists, but the indie, new and up and coming ones too. He's quite confident that there are so many OPM artists out there that can really challenge not just themselves but those who have big fan groups because they'll also get to listen to the others. This platform is for them too. They're also keen on performing on the shows because they will have a chance to do that if the opportunity arises. They are also excited to get to know the artists through their interviews. 

We asked Maxie about having representation as a VIBE JOCK, but says this wasn't something that she would be nervous about. She's more proud in some way because she gets to represent those who wish to be in the same shoes. She lauds the production of VIBE because they're very progressive to include her as a VIBE JOCK. Thing is, she's going to switch between Maxie and Jhayvot when she feels like it, so there's going to be so much fun that folks will look forward to when she hosts the shows. 

Pao and Ryle may have had experience hosting online and TV shows in the past but they both consider VIBE very different because it's going to be more on the art side of things while they're doing the programs. Pao knows they're also there to promote OPM music, the artists and the show so he's very eager to point that out in both the afternoon and evening shows.  Anna Ramsey also said that she feels so right at home because the work they've done so far wasn't too stressful, it was smooth sailing since day 1 and she hopes to continue to have that work ethic all throughout the show's duration. For her, the work is light and felt very happy because they've grown very close as the launch comes near. As early as now, the jokes kept being thrown around by the other jocks and she feels it's going to happen quite often once the live shows become a regular thing.  

Queenay said that she's quite grateful that she's being given the opportunity to become part of these shows. She knows that the responsibility to do the show is huge and says this wouldn't be given to her if the one above knows that she wouldn't be able to do it. She's happy that there will be a connection with the fans and is excited how the voting will affect the concept of the show. 

Kych is quite a happy chap and feels so elated to become part of these jocks. Since he's quite experienced with podcasts, he's got a lot to bring to the table. Plus, he's such a huge fan of Filipino music and knowing that they've got the chance to talk to the OPM artists appearing on their shows, this will be the best platform to get to know them even more. The newcomers will also have the opportunity to be in the show and will give more exposure for them in the long run.  

Here's what we talked about during the press conference: 

So if you're raring to see how your favorite Filipino and OPM artists are going to fare on the show, make sure to follow their social channels, TV5 and other MediaQuest channels because it's going to be fun! It's time you put your idols into the charts, support them by watching the shows every day and vote for them on FB or the other ways to support. So far, I've managed to watch several these past few days and I can say, I'm hooked! I feel their VIBE!
