DIGOLITA= Digong & Pilita: "IKAW"

Praise the luck of Pinoys! We might just have a new loveteam who arrived just in time?

 This at a time when the first Pinoy young love teams who have managed to attract the millenial entertainment social media in many parts of the world (the Big 3: Kathniel, Lizquen & Jadine), are maturing & risk losing their niche appeal (& with no Pinoy young loveteams expected to fill up their shoes in the international arena because strangely, all the young loveteams waiting in the wings appeal to a market which even in the Philippines cater only to peripheral segments). But perhaps due to typical stubborn pigheadedness, consistency is not a strong Filipino suit so we might us well expect ourselves to disappear  in the near future in the eyes of the young international  audience accidentally cultivated by the Big 3. Back to the backwaters of cultural inferiority?

Digolita will neither fill the gap to be vacated by the Big 3 among the young, expect the loss of the international millenial social media dominated by this group. The Digolita LT has a far different market (& a far shorter life span?).  For a brief moment of the news cycle, they became an international sensation. Segments of the video below ( taken when the US President urged the Philippine President to join Ms. Pilita Corrales uninvited in a duet) were  published worldwide by almost all the major news websites.

CHIẾC MŨI ĐỎ/HONESTO @ VIETNAM TODAYTV

The last 2 minutes? 2017 is almost through and ABS-CBN might be feeling like a pressured basketball player doing all he can to engineer a winning fastbreak. We can see it has been busy setting up breakthrough plays: ABS-CBN, the country's top broadcasting company, has sold the most teleseryes worldwide even this year, but there was only one 2017-produced teleserye (Magpahanggang-Wakas) that has been shown so far throughout the world. There are news two 2017 series will finally be following it: A Love To Last & Wildflower. We just hope they will be shown before the 2017 final buzzer.

Meanwhile, a mini-GMA streak at Vietnam TodayTV (Ang Lihim ni Annasandra & Strawberry Lane) was finally broken by an ABS-CBN 2013 teleserye, Honesto, starring Paulo Avelino.

NOTE: This blog is not a World TV Guide. We know what is showing what in different areas of the globe where teleseryes are being shown (& there are always many being shown) but we only do an article on the one which caught our fancy- meaning, we can spin an interesting trivia about it. Like this one, because the mini-streak of GMA was broken. The blog has finally decided the local network rivalry (primarily GMA vs. ABS-CBN) projected into the international arena is good for teleserye, it revs up everybody's game... and that is good, considering that teleserye is one of the famous telenovela products in the world. Though be advised: Kantiyaw is fun but crab mentality (to the point of destroying each other) is not.
