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.

BRIDGES OF LOVE returns on Indonesian small screens after all

ABS-CBN must be jumping with joy. Bridges of Love, which was one of the 3 ABS-CBN teleseryes which were pulled out after just a few days of telecast, is returning to the screen after all. Fingers crossed, the other two, Magpahanggang Wakas & Forevermore will return shortly too.

BRIDGES OF LOVE showing on MNCTV INDONESIA

There are now three teleseryes showing on MNCTV Indonesia, one after the other starting at 8 PM (20:00 WIB): Double Kara, Bridges of Love & Forevermore.

Bridges of Love is the 6th teleserye to be shown this year in Indonesia.

TOMORROW BELONGS TO ME/ SANA BUKAS PA ANG KAHAPON showing on ONTV NIGERIA

The Nigerians must love this teleserye. It was shown on another Nigerian channel, Televista (the trailer below is theirs), but ONTV just got to show it too. The Bea Alonzo starrer must be pushing the right buttons in Nigeria.

Televista & ONTV are owned by the same group, Consolidated Media Associates.

4 ABSCBN Teleseryes next on MNCTV INDONESIA: Forevermore, Bridges of Love, Magpahanggang Wakas, Doble Kara

While GMA teleseryes have been very recently prominent in previously ABSCBN-dominated terrains in various parts of the world,  ABSCBN is fast developing new markets in a rather big way. 4 Abscbn teleseryes are in the pipeline for Indonesia. MNCTV, the TV station which has been airing Pangako sa yo & On The Wings of Love, has just announced it has lined-up 4 teleseryes for 2017: Bridges of Love, Magpahanggang Wakas, Doble Kara & Forevermore

The latter, Forevermore, makes the whole thing exciting. Kathniel (Daniel Padilla & Kathryn Bernardo) & Jadine (James Reid & Nadine Lustre) have already started to make their mark in Indonesia with the showing of PSY & OTWOL: let's make way for Lizquen, definitely the prettiest loveteam in Asia  right now. And they were in their prettiest in that teleserye.

Pinoy Teleserye "BRIDGES OF LOVE" is now showing on KTN Kenya

There's an error in the printed online shedule of Kenyan TV station KTN. It is still written there that "Carmela" is being shown but the Pinoy teleserye starring Marian Rivera & Alden Richards has already ended and just replaced by another Pinoy teleserye, "Bridges of Love" starring Maja Salvador & Jericho Rosales.

Primetime, 6:00- 7:00 PM, Kenya time (11:00 PM Manila time)..

Didn't they just say it's more fun when there are Pinoys? ASIAN MALES ARE SEXIER IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!

I decided I focus a bit more on our sexy actors & actresses in order  that the people of the world can see for themselves there are really beautiful sexy Asians and they can be found in the Philippines. It's the males' turn today. More than half of my readers are from overseas, 50% in the US alone. The primary "negative criticism" against the traditional Asian males is that they lack sex appeal that's why Fil-Ams don't want to be tagged as Asians because they could become sexual pariahs in the beautiful people circuit. Well, Pinoys should be more assertive, be more visible, and be the face of the Asian tag instead so that the others can be pulled up instead of us being pulled down.

TELESERYE: "BRIDGES OF LOVE" Full Trailer:

Maja Salvador & Paulo Avelino have many music videos in this blog. They star in a forthcoming heavy-drama teleserye starting this March.

 

Paulo Avelino - Your Love (Official Music Video)

 

The concept may be strange, but it is actually a terrific song.
This was probably a video response to Maja Salvador's Dahan-Dahan.

El concepto puede ser extraño, pero en realidad es una canción genial.
Esta fue probablemente una respuesta en vídeo a la  Dahan-Dahan de Maja Salvador.
