I was doing other thing on the web when my attention was caught by the newsbreak from GMA 7. What was the news about? I knew you guess it by the title of this blog.
Although I am half-expecting it since he won as governor of Pampanga in the last election, I was still surprised that it really happened. Read the rest of this entry »
Although the recognition came much later, I still believed that the presidential medal of merit is a much deserved award for the Philippines’ King of Rap Francis Magalona. This posthumous award is given to the Master Rapper for promoting nationalism through his songs.
“The medal recognizes the nationalism and love of country that is there in all his performances,” Press Secretary Cerge Remonde told ABS-CBN News as reported on their site where I saw this latest update on Francis M.
Indeed, his songs has awakened the spirit of nationalism in today’s youth. Songs like “Mga Kababayan” “Ito Ang Gusto Ko” and “Man from Manila” are just some nationalistic songs which became the national anthem of a lot of young people then… and in the generations to come.
If you noticed, I never used the word ‘late’ in reference to The Man, because I believe… his legacy is just starting…
It was indeed a sad day for the hosts of Eat Bulaga as one their co-host, Francis Magalona passed away yesterday. Needless to say, the news that broke out while the show was just starting definitely affected everyone - hosts, audiences and even those who were watching at home. I was even wandering how they can continue with the program because I can feel their grief even though I was only watching on my TV… I know, cause I felt it too.
But theirs is an industry that always go with the cliche “the show must go on!” And being professionals and all, Eat Bulaga went back to their regular program, making people happy… in spite of the sad news.
Down the latter part of the show, at the jackpot portion of “Itaktak mo!” the contestant got the jackpot prize of P1 million when the roulette wheel stopped at the EB logo which signifies the jackpot prize.
Joey de Leon even kidded “Nagbiro si Kiko!” implying that Francis M had a hand or helped the contestant win P1 M jackpot prize. Perhaps he did… his way of making them feel that he is still, and very much, a part of Eat Bulaga.
Shampoo’s are to women while beer are to men? I’m talking about how nonsensical TV commercials can be. Yes, you guessed it right. This is another take on today’s advertisements being flashed on our television as we watch.
I am actually gathering materials for my second installment of Commercial Muna, but this particular one made me think and decide, it can be posted by itself. It doesn’t need any accompanying subjects as it’s a topic on its own.
I’m talking about the latest commercial of a beer, you know the one where a giant bottle of the said beer ‘falls upon the man’ who doesn’t know how ‘real men’ act. Really now, how should real men act? Read the rest of this entry »
