CHUYỆN TÌNH NÀNG TIÊN CÁ/DYESEBEL opens on SNTV Vietnam

GMA must be jumping with joy, it has sold a teleserye again. Or is this a re-issue? This teleserye was released on 2008 yet. But it stars regional stars Marian Rivera & Dingdong Dantes. Marian Rivera is the biggest Pinay star in many geographic areas of the world like Africa & Indochina. To its credit, GMA knows how to produce stunningly beautiful stars. I wonder why they keep destroying the view with the low-rating kdramas they keep on inserting. Needless Halloween views as a result.

Anyway, another good news for Pinoy teleserye.

Pinoy Teleseryes @ KTN KENYA: "FOREVERMORE" Starring LIZQUEN & "CARMELA" Starring Marian Rivera & Alden Richards

So the international hit Forevermore is now showing at KTN Kenya, primetime at 6-6.59 pm Eastern African Time on weekdays. The hot teleserye of the Lizquen loveteam of Enrique Gil & Liza Soberano was already shown via cable throughout Africa on StarTimes late last year but the Kenyan masses will now have the opportunity to watch it on free TV.

The other telenovela being shown at KTN is also another Pinoy teleserye, the Marian Rivera & Alden Richards starrer Carmela which is a reissue having been shown at primetime by the same station last year. It can be watched now at 9 AM Eastern African Time, KTN.

The Vietnam TodayTV awardee for the Best Foreign Actor & Actress for 2014, Pinoy showbiz royal couple, Marian Rivera & Dingdong Dantes, returned to Vietnamese TV screens via a 2008 film entitled One True Love which also featured Iza Calzado. Right in time for the Vietnamese New Year, Tet, celebrations for 2016 where they re-released 8  films: 4 from Vietnam, 4 from the Philippines, 3 of the 8 were Marian Rivera  starrers, the most for any actress (The other two films were My Best Friend's Girlfriend with Richard Gutierrez, & another Dongyan film, You To Me Are Everything . The fourth Pinoy film was The Promise starring Richard Gutierrez & Angel Locsin). All were GMA films.

Needless to say, you have an idea of the popularity of Marian Rivera in Vietnam right there.

IN LOVE AGAIN/ MULI in Nigeria: Marian Rivera STAR POWER without Borders, all her Teleseryes are shown abroad

As if one still needs more proof of the Star Power on the international telenovela circuit  of Pinay actress Maria Rivera. A teleserye must be shown because Marian Rivera is in it. The teleserye Carmela might have had a disappointing ending, according to an African fan, but her name was enough excuse to show more of Marian Rivera.

In Love Again, showing 21:00 local time, at  MyTV Africa,  Nigeria.

DUBBED PINOY TELESERYE: "Marimar" in Kenya in English, that's the video, BUT I Have Some Unrelated Commentaries on Showbiz "SPIN", etc.

We should be shouting more that Pinoy teleseryes are a hit in many countries of the world. I was amazed to confirm they are. Most Filipinos actually ignore them. The high ratings that you read in the papers don't reflect the reality to most Filipinos. I grew up with nobody talking to me about Pinoy showbiz. If ever I had the curiosity, I was repulsed by what I saw- that was the time of Jolina & her gang- which made me totally avoid local TV then. The next time I got curious, there was this host of a TV show who looked "cross-eyed" to me and that turned me off again. It's only when I was doing this blog that I learned her name and it turned out she was actually a big actress. How did a "cross-eyed" lady become a big actress here, that really became a big puzzle to me. Have we sunk that low? As for movies, only a manute portion of our population bother. Our hits are considered big if about a million people have seen it (PHP150 million gross). That's laughable considering our population is 100 million. One of the things I learned in starting this blog (which started as a joke but ended up becoming an eye-opener) is that we can actually be big-time if we just be truthful to our spins. If we can spin a cross-eyed girl and sell her to the gullible, why not spin truthfully & attract the sane majority instead?

HOW POPULAR ABROAD ARE OUR PINOY ARTISTS? Let's start with Marian Rivera, the most popular Pinay actress internationally

I have been curious about the popularity (bankable) overseas of Pinoy artists. I was scanning the Facebook stats, and did you know that the most famous Pinoy showbiz personality outside the country is Marian Rivera? Does the Facebook figures of an artist tally with the popularity of her works inside a particular country? Or just hype, mere empty bragging right? Her Philippine figures are not as big (which doesn't mean much beside the local hype considering the teleserye & box-office performance of those with supposedly bigger figures than her didn't tally much with their supposed popularity;  I just hope no digital miracles which anybody familiar with the technology can engineer, were involved), but the widespread popularity of Ms. Rivera really surprised me: she had nearly a million in Vietnam (which tallied with her actual popularity there because she was voted as the Favorite Foreign Artist for 2014). Not so far behind is Malaysia, and you only have to read Malaysian blogosphere & watch Malaysian TV clips on Youtube to appreciate her impact as the most popular Pinay actress in Malaysia (I can also speak Bahasa Melayu). I compared her Facebook breakdown figures with the other contemporary Pinay actresses who had their teleseryes shown overseas and they didn't even make a dent in comparison. It only means their types can only be popular in the Philippines. It only means the Philippine scene mainly depends on hype, or is it more hype on top of other hypes?

A little research showed the teleseryes of Marian like Marimar, Dyesebel, etc. propelled her to her present status, following the footsteps of the only other Pinay actress who achieved regional popularity, Kristine Hermosa, who apparently captured the same heights with her teleseryes years back (Pangako Sa Yo, etc.).

Pinoy teleseryes are shown in many countries throughout the world. Many are dubbed into the local languages- are you curious how they sound like? We've heard in a previous post how the hit teleserye "Forevermore" sounded in Khazak. How about other hit teleseryes in Khmer & Vietnamese?

SEXY DANCE: Marian Rivera LIVE

Marian Rivera is the beauty standard of Pinoy showbiz, GMA hit a gold jackpot with her, but unfortunately, the teen idols of GMA are so outclassed by the competition, they might need a major teen lineup makeover. I wonder if VIVA, with its deep roster of stars who really look like stars, doesn't have any plans of making a deal with GMA to franchise the youth entertainment division there. Its complete package of catchy songs & Wattpad bestsellers will surely revive interest among the youth demographics the way it has revived interest on OPM. It just might create many more Jadines.

SEXY HULA: Marian Rivera LIVE

GMA definitely presents more sophisticated concepts in its musical numbers (Electronic Hula Dance! Wow!).. even its sets and camera works are definitely classier than the competition... but what I can't fathom is while it has such great beauties like Marian Rivera & Jennilyn Mercado, its teen idols (except for a couple) look like the alalays of Jadine, Kathniel & Lizquen of the opposition... simply outclassed is the word... I see hotter teens on the streets everyday... they should change their scouts because Pinoy teen fandom is hot and all its idols should be hot... the more hot idols, the merrier for the Philippine Brand...

Anyway, here's a great beauty... they should maintain the caliber and they will not go wrong...
