Pinoy Big Brother Double Up-date: Tom out of the house

buzz_express@yahoo.com (Buzz Express) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:06:00 +0000

Tom was already told to stay put due to his failing health, and all he could do was to stand aside and watch his team go down. He punched the wall in frustration, an action that scared even him. This led to an emotional outburst, and though comforted by the rest of the boys, Tom was still carrying guilt and the pressure to do all for his team.

The pressure and stress of the week finally took its toll on Tom’s physique. His constant exercise was no match for the combined force of emotional, mental and physical strain. Tom was already feeling under the weather, and with the pressure of utter helplessness, a violation and a big loss piled up against him, his body just broke down.

His initial check up was not enough and simple bed rest would not suffice. Tom left the PBB house at around 4:30 pm and headed to the hospital, where he will be put under observation and attached to an IV.

House A is temporarily less one housemate, but they were not the only ones affected. Due to Tom’s exit, Kuya declared voting as temporarily suspended, as all await Tom’s return.

Chin-Chin, nagsalita na sa insidente nila ni Lorna

buzz_express@yahoo.com (Buzz Express) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:55:00 +0000

Last week lamang ay napabalitang nagkaroon ng isang insidente sa set ng "Dahil May Isang Ikaw", kung saan aksidente umanong nasampal ng malakas ni Chin-Chin Gutierrez si Lorna Tolentino. Dahil dito, nagkasugat-sugat raw ang biyudang aktres at na-trauma sa nangyari.

Samu't saring komento mula sa publiko ang natanggap, katulad na lamang ang spekulasyong "publicity stunt" lamang ito para tumaas ang ratings ng teleserye.

Nagbigay ng statement si Chin-Chin through her manager an si Anjie Ureta.

November 5, 2009

It is in the spirit of peace, clarity and healing that we are now addressing the unfortunate accident involving our artist, Ms Chin-Chin Gutierrez, and Ms. Lorna Tolentino, which transpired while taping an episode of their television program last week. We reaffirm that the accident was purely unintentional and occurred in the presence of the location heads in-charge of production. She has sincerely apologized to Ms. Tolentino from the moment that she realized the resulting injury after the take and personally assisted her in seeking professionally advised first aid intervention. Recognizing that apologies may not be enough to console her respected colleague, Ms. Gutierrez had indeed sought Ms. Tolentino's permission to pray together, trusting that the Divine Healer will not only soothe away the physical hurt but also whatever unseen wound in their relationship that may arise from the tense situation.

Ms. Gutierrez wishes to express: "With all humility, I wish to give the best thing I can give now -- to witness to the truth of fraternal love. Keeping peace and being peace are more important than raising my voice to clear my name. The well-being of Ms. Lorna Tolentino is foremost in my mind at the moment, equalled only by my concern for the program. I firmly believe it is Truth in Love that casts out all fear and makes all things new. I remain faithful to the inner goodness in every person shining through, which allows for the restoration of relationships through the graces of faith, forgiveness and prayer for one another."

We thank everyone who has maintained understanding and sobriety in the face of this unfortunate accident. We share in the deeper aspiration of many voices, heard and unheard, that the matter finds its peaceful and just resolution.

Sincerely yours,
Anjie Ureta
Artist Manager representing Chin-Chin Gutierrez

Sarah: Hindi ko po ipinagpipilitan ang sarili ko kay Gerald

Gulat na gulat ang singer-actress na si Sarah Geronimo sa mga violent reactions na kanyang natatanggap mula sa mga fans ni Gerald Anderson at Kim Chiu, known as Kimerald. Napabalita kasing ipagtatambal ng ABS-CBN ang singer at si Gerald sa isang movie.

"Masyado nang maraming nasasabing hindi maganda sa amin," Sarah told on "The Buzz."

"Naiintindihan ko lahat 'yong mga fans ng 'Kimerald' (short for Kim and Gerald), wala sa akin 'yon. Hindi ko po kasi ipinagpipilitan ang sarili ko na makapareha si Gerald. Wala na, tapos na po. Ako na po ang nagsasabi na itigil na po natin [ang issue] kasi hindi maganda ang nagiging resulta."

Kakatapos lamang ni Sarah mag-hold ng concert titled "Record Breaker" sa Araneta Coliseum nitong November 7.

Noynoy: I've got more Facebook friends than Chiz

buzz_express@yahoo.com (Buzz Express) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:39:00 +0000

According to Yehey.com, Aquino has double the number of online friends in his Facebook and Friendster accounts compared to presidential candidates Francis "Chiz" Escudero and Manny Villar.

Aquino has a combined total of 155,950 friends on the two popular sites followed by Escudero with 81,114 friends and Villar with 56,945.

On Twitter, Aquino also leads with 17,970 followers as of November 9, followed by Escudero with 14,679 and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro at 3,609.

“The Internet is a very important medium for voter education. It allows us to reach the growing Internet-savvy, Filipino population relying on the Internet as an important source of information. It also allows us to reach Filipinos overseas who have very limited access to Philippine tri-media and who we are unlikely to reach through our sorties,” Ninoy Aquino told a group of online media and bloggers in a video satellite conference.

The video blog is just the latest in Aquino’s foray in cyberspace. His website Noynoy.ph has already generated 75,000 page views since its launch.

So, are we expecting a president sitting in Malacanang, twittering and Facebook-ing?

"Simpatikong Kusinero" Delio out in Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up

buzz_express@yahoo.com (Buzz Express) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:57:00 +0000

Delio is the latest evictee in Pinoy Big Brother Double Up. The cook from Batangas got the lowest number of text votes (5.43%) among fellow nominees for the second eviction Jason (51.42%), Tom (22.78%), Patrick (14.23%), and Mariel (6.40%). This is the first time the new House B lost a housemate to eviction.

Delio’s final week inside the Big Brother house was utterly dramatic. He got into an argument that left the usual joke Melisa Cantiveros in tears. Delio also had a misunderstanding with his other housemates amidst the rehearsal for the Cultural Show weekly task. A couple of night ago, the Batangueño almost made a voluntary exit when he had too much to drink and became deeply emotional.

Meanwhile, with Delio’s goodbye, the housemates will say hello again to their friend Cathy Remperas who just left Big Brother Finland where she lived for one week for the Big Swap. Cathy is all ready to share to her housemates her experience having a taste of the Finnish culture.

Also tomorrow, catch the live nomination night as a bunch of housemates will be in danger of suffering the same fate as Delio’s. All that and more on Pinoy Big Brother Double Up, Sunday night at 8:15 PM.

Mika voted off in Survivor Philippines: Palau

buzz_express@yahoo.com (Buzz Express) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:50:00 +0000

Credited for masterminding some of the biggest surprises at the Tribal Council, chef and restaurant owner Mika Batchelor's journey in Survivor Philippines: Palau has finally come to an end nang i-vote off siya kahapon sa reality show ng GMA-7.

Sa kanyang pagkakatanggal, apat na lang ang natitirang castaways na maglalaban-laban para sa tatlong milyong pisong cash prize at sa titulong Pinoy Sole Survivor. Ang apat na natitira ay sina Amanda Colley Van Cooll, Justine Ferrer, Charles de Vera Fernandez, at Jef Gaitan.

Hindi man naging emosyunal ang Tribal Council ngayon kumpara noong matanggal si Shaun Rodriguez, nagkaroon naman ng samaan ng loob sa pagitan nina Mika, Amanda at Jef, na parehong nanggaling sa original Airai tribe. Inaasahan kasi nina Mika at Amanda na hanggang sa dulo ay magsasama-sama silang tatlo, pero nag-iba ng direksiyon si Jef.

"Medyo nadi-disappoint ako... Overall, ginawa ko lahat para makarating sa point na 'to. Ipinakita ko sa sarili ko na kaya kong mag-survive. After 37 days, I'm okay... Good luck na lang sa inyo [castaways]. Amanda, ipakita mo ang lahat ng kaya mo," pahayag ni Mika sa kanyang exit interview.

Kung disappointed si Mika sa kanyang pagkakatanggal, tuwang-tuwa naman ang tatlo sa miyembro ng Jury na sina Tara Macias, Echo Caceres at Marvin Kiefer. Malaki kasi ang kinalaman ni Mika sa kanilang pagkakatanggal kaya masayang-masaya sila sa pagkaka-vote off nito.

Kung last season ay dalawa lang ang naglaban sa huling Tribal Council, ngayong season ay tatlo ang matitirang castaways na maglalaban-laban sa huli.

Sino kaya kina Amanda, Justine, Charles at Jef ang bubuo ng Final 3? Ito ay malalaman sa huling linggo ng Survivor Philippines: Palau next week.

GMA discloses financial gains this 3rd quarter 2009

buzz_express@yahoo.com (Buzz Express) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:01:00 +0000

Kapuso executives announced last November 5 that the Network remains on track in reaching its year-end target. Based on a report furnished by the Corporate Communication department, GMA-7 reportedly finished the first nine months of 2009 with a 10-percent increase in net income versus last year.

Financial Matters

The officials also disclosed that the company's net income jumped to P2.149 billion from the P1.961 billion netted in the same period in 2008.

They noted that general and administrative expenses (GAEX) increased by 18% to P2.632 billion "primarily due to the growth in personnel costs" since the company inked a 3-year Collective Bargaining Agreement in the third quarter. The said CBA reportedly included a "hefty signing bonus."

Nine-month earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) settled at P3.713 billion.

GMA Pinoy TV

The report claims that subscription revenues for GMA International jumped 54% over last year. They credit the revenue upswing to steady growth in the subscriber count of GMA-7's two international channels: GMA Pinoy TV (GPTV) and GMA Life TV (GLTV). Both channels are now available in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Middle East, North Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Guam, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

According to figures provided by GMA-7, GPTV subscribers totaled 225,000 by the end of the third quarter, representing a 17% increase year-on-year. The channel has an estimated 1.1 million viewers worldwide. GLTV subscribers are now at 109,000 or around 600,000 viewers worldwide. GLTV has reportedly grown by 142% in terms of subscriber count since last year.

GMA Worldwide, Inc. (GWI), according to this mid-year report, has syndicated locally made programs to as far as Africa, Middle East, and Europe. GWI had a positive revenue contribution with P28.3 million worth of syndication sales in the third quarter, equivalent to 90% of its total projected revenues for 2009.

Just recently, GWI sold the rights of the Philippine adaptation of Marimar and Dyesebel to Kenya, Uganda, Singapore, and Malaysia.

GMA Network Chairman, President, and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon was optimistic about the performance of the station in the near future. He stated, "We remain ahead of competition in terms of sales. Barring any major event that will affect the company's performance for the remaining months, I think 2009 will be another breakthrough year for the Network."

Ratings

Citing AGB Nielsen figures for the 3rd Quarter 2009, the Kapuso Network executives also said that GMA Radio's DZBB remained ahead of DZRH in Mega. In Cebu, both the FM and AM radio stations of GMA ranked second overall. Barangay LS' Talk To Papa won the Best Counseling Program in the recently concluded Catholic Mass Media Awards.

Meanwhile, GMA Network further claims that it has "sustained its lead" in viewer-rich Mega Manila and Total Urban Luzon based on data from AGB Nielsen Philippines in September.

GMA Network is said to have posted an average audience share of 40.5%, 8.6 percentage points higher than competition's 31.9%. Mega Manila TV households account for 49.3% of the National Urban Television Audience Measurement (NUTAM).

Among the top 30 programs in Mega Manila during the third quarter, 16 shows were from the Kapuso Network. Darna took the number one spot in the roster with its average household rating of 36.5%.

In Total Urban Luzon, which accounts for 77% of NUTAM TV households, GMA-7 managed an average audience share of 39% in September. The report from the Network's Corporate Communication department highlighted that their audience share for that month is higher by 4 percentage points compared to ABS-CBN's 35%.

buzz_express@yahoo.com (Buzz Express) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:52:00 +0000

GMA 7 will finally launch its Christmas station ID this Satruday on Eat Bulaga! This station ID aims to encourage, recognize and celebrate the immense capacity of Filipinos to share love.

"Our village was affected by the flooding. I saw how neighbors and complete strangers risked their lives to help others. I experienced pasalove firsthand that's why the message of the SID is very real to me," says Paul Ticzon, GMA AVP for Post Production Operations Division and Director for the project.

The Station ID dubbed, "Sama-sama Tayong Magpasalove," pays tribute to the lives of its audience and their hearts that continue to pass the love.

The project was conceptualized by the creative team composed of GMA VP for Program Support Regie Bautista, Associate Creative Director Armie Herrera, Writer Sarah Manila, Writer-lyricist Candy de los Reyes, Artists Leo Alvarado and Manuel Edralin, Senior Project Manager Hasmin Marable, and Project Manager Minette Lopez. The music was by Cecille Borja and sung by the La Diva member Aicelle Santos.

Multi-awarded cinematographer and GMA VP for Post Production Ding Achacoso was the director of photography, Ingrid Navarro was the producer, Vince Gealogo was the assistant director and Rodell Cruz was the Production Designer. The post production pool was composed of Allyn de Ocampo, Javier Delgado, and John Paul Arrojado.

Sa wakas itinanggi na rin ni Robin Padilla na lilipat na siya ng bakod at magkakaroon ng isang teleserye kasama si Kris Aquino at ang Kimerald.

Ayon sa mananger ni Robin na si Betchay Vidanes, movie lang ang gagawin niya sa ABS-CBN through Star Cinema at walang TV project.

Walang title ang pelikulang gagawin ni Binoe sa Star Cinema, pero ang makakatambal niya ay ang Kapamilya star na si Toni Gonzaga.

Sa ngayon ay walang regular show ang action star at puro endorsements at pagtulong sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo ang mga kanyang inaatupag.
