Gulong ng Palad - preview of things to come

Sunday, March 26, 2006

Those fortunate enough to have watched the Gulong ng Palad episode where lead character Luisa's (Kristine Hermosa) father, Tomas (Joel Torre), died of a combination of a heart-attack and a train track accident would remember the preview that ABS-CBN presented right after the show. In the succeeding events after the death of Tomas, Menang (Cherie Gil) loses the mayoralty elections and has now lost most of her money. She then experiences a mutilating accident, where a half of her face gets burned in a fire.

Then Menang and her son, Carding (TJ Trinidad) now have to face poverty. It seems the tide has turned, as Luisa's family has somehow amassed some fortune, and is now living a rich, comfortable life.

So now things get exciting. Each day I watch Gulong ng Palad, I'm eagerly anticipating how things will turn out. I'm still wondering how Menang will get burned, and how Luisa's family will manage to become rich.

Where is Ang Panday?

Friday, March 03, 2006
It's been a couple of months since the first chapter of Ang Panday ended. ABS-CBN promised chapter two is coming early this 2006. But it's March and we still haven't had a peek at chapter 2!

At any rate, I'm enjoying watching Gulong ng Palad so much, that I would have hardly noticed. But I'm kind of missing the Panday action scenes (and of course the Heart Evangelista outfits, hehe).

Rustom is gay. What's new?

Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition housemate Rustom Padilla admitted he's gay.

So, what's new?

Well, for one thing, Rustom's younger brother, Robin, telling national television that it's all right for his brother to be gay.

Robin went to the Pinoy Big Brother house fuming mad earlier to confront Rustom's fellow housemate Christian Vasquez, who had been wearing skimpy outfits seemingly to tease Rustom.

Things all went well, though. The brothers were able to spend some time with each other. Robin left the House in a calm mood, asking the viewing public to just respect his brother--after all, gays in the Pinoy showbiz industry aren't uncommon.

Is anyone watching Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition?

Wednesday, March 01, 2006
I mean, it doesn't seem to be as popular as the original Pinoy Big Brother. What gives?

Maybe people got bored of the concept. Or maybe it's not as exciting to see celebs on TV than total strangers (well, Cass and Sam weren't exactly strangers to showbiz, actually).

I, for one, no longer watch PBB Celebrity edition because it didn't seem to be as exciting as the original PBB was.

Here's something exciting: Rustom Padilla admits he's gay!

Wait. That's not exactly new news, isn't it. He's been as gay as can be ever since he returned to the Philippines from the US a couple of years ago! I wonder what his brother Robin would say (I bet he'd beat the hell out of Rustom).

Any new scandals lately?

I've been very busy so it's been more than a month since my last article here. Does anyone want to discuss anything Pinoy-showbiz related? Any new scandals lately? What's interesting in the Philippine Entertainment scene? It's all politics on TV these days, especially with the failed coup attempts.
