"On The Wings Of Love" Photoshoot BTS (JaDine)

They should make this teleserye look sleek. If ever there is a Pinoy teleserye that has a ready market across many continents, this is it.

 One of the unstated aims of piracy is that it can actually develop a market, it's up to the producers to take advantage of it. It is believed that piracy is one of the secrets that developed the distribution networks in Africa and paved the way for the development of Nollywood, the Nigerian film industry which is the second biggest in the world, next to Bollywood of India. The frst film of Jadine, "Diary Ng Panget" was the biggest youth film in the pirate world last year (& the young demographic is the biggest piracy clients). The big question is how would Pinoy producers take advantage of the new markets developed by the pirates for them.


әкетай / DREAM DAD in Kazakhstan: Another Trailer

Here's the other trailer of Dream Dad used in Kazakhstan. Not as polished as the first one but we have a cut of  Gloria Diaz screaming and looking not like a Gloria Diaz here.


Kapangyarihan Ng Pag-ibig - Aicelle Santos (Official Music Video)

I've seen her do a great Birit but though the song had possibilities to soar, she played it cool & smooth. Still sexy R & B though, that's okay by me...

Әкетай : "DREAM DAD" is to be shown too in Kazakhstan

With the successful showing of "Forevermore" which is still taking Kazakhstan by storm, here comes another Pinoy teleserye. Two Pinoy teleseryes will be entertaining the Kazakhs at the same time.  The title means "Father" in Kazakh. You can follow the VK pages  here & here .

"Әкетай"/DREAM DAD in Kazakhstan: Who Will Be The Cute One?

I'm not really attracted by the plot of "Dream Dad". Neither by the main  cast.  Its showing in Kazakhstan therefore piqued my curiosity: I'm using it as my petri dish for another of my pseudo-anthropological studies. Just recently, star  power was once again proven  in Kazakhstan, especially among the young demographics who went in droves to join the various fan clubs established at the Russian Facebook, Vkontakte (VK) for the Pinoy teleserye "Men Sagan Gashykpyn" (Forevermore), where  Enrique Gil & Liza Soberano shone brighter than the stars of the other foreign telenovelas shown simultaneously in Kazakhstan. The Philippines is getting well-known for its cute actors since the discovery by the Asiatic film-loving world of "Diary Ng Panget" of James Reid and "She's Dating The Gangster" of Daniel Padilla last year. They confirmed that once again with the emergence now of Enrique Gil. With the news that another Pinoy teleserye is forthcoming, the automatic question was who will be the cute one this time around. For "Dream Dad", as can be noticed in their VK page (click here), the eyes are on Teejay Marquez, they practically ignore Zanjoe Marudo but fill with comments (notice the heart icons) on  the posts on Teejay Marquez . For example:

красавчик is Russian for 'handsome'. Kazakhs are bilingual like Filipinos, they mix Russian & Kazakh, like Taglish.

THE ANATOMY OF FAME: Just How Popular is FOREVERMORE in Kazakhstan?

Just how popular is FOREVERMORE (Men Sagan Gashykpyn)  in Kazakhstan? How about having more than 250,000 fan club membership in 2 months  in a 17 million population country?
Below are the 7 biggest. There are many more with more than a thousand to as little as just 30 members.

(UPDATE: August 9, 2015- Note that with the ending of Forevermore in Kazakhstan tonight, most of the fan clubs were converted into "Got To Believe" fans club. The latter will start tomorrow, August 10, so it will start with a lot of captured fans already. Good for the young Pinoy artists because they have the same audience anyway. Good thinking on the Kazakh broadcast people).
UPDATE: August 7, 2016
You will find most of the links have disappeared. In fact, most of the links to the countless fanpages of popular Pinoy stars in the VK have simply disappeared. Sabotage? I just started a series of articles investigating this mystery. Please click "Tales of SABOTAGE" at the sidebar.

Jonalyn Viray - McArthur Park LIVE

Definitely one of the best biriteras around.

Sarah, Bamboo sing "See You Again" LIVE


Jadine in Laoag

The screams were captured alright but unfortunately the songs were drowned out by fans' hysterics. Consider it then a mere snapshot anthropological study, a docu drama of the times: the fans all whipped out their smartphones, the lights were sleek and modern, this happening in the northernmost city of the country. It so happens Ilocos Norte has one of the best GNP per capita in the country. This is the opening of the concert.

Maja Salvador - Bakit Ganito Ang Pag-Ibig (Official Music Video)

This music video gets too melodramatic at some point- with the usual emotion-filled facial contortions, but thankfully, not to the extent you get visions about constipation & the like. Maja's sex appeal saved the day, barely though.

6 MONTHS COUNTING: To Jadine Fans From All Over The World who were right there from the Beginning

The blog is nearly 6 months old & the readership profile is changing. The US readers still comprise 50% but the foreign audience has shrunk from 80% to 65%, the locals are gaining. One thing is constant: most (60%) of the clicks are on Jadine but 25% are now on Lizquen. The top 3 countries are US, Philippines & Colombia, with Peru, Mexico, Brazil, Russia, Kazakhstan, Canada, Australia, Kenya, Argentina & Ecuador down the line.

BIRIT YESTERDAY, TODAY & TOMORROW: Gwyneth Dorado, Jonalyn & Regine LIVE

I wanted to title this "3 Generations of Birit" but Regine is still too sexy to represent the "first generation" among the three. I just wanted to say that with the appearance of the 10-year old Gwyneth, Birit is in safe hands.

Julie Anne San Jose - Tidal Wave LIVE


 Julie Anne certainly has the looks & the voice of a major pop idol like Rihanna & Beyonce. This song is a a level-up addition to her repertoire, This is for international release, and Julie Anne is in for the long haul. I bet composers du jour Thyro, Yumi & Bojam have the exact type of songs in storage which will  propel Julie Anne past Rihanna & Beyonce. LOL,  let's think big for a change.
