CUTE PINOY MONITOR: Luis Hontiveros

One of the biggest winners in the last elections. He happened to be just the pretty boy nephew of the newly elected Senator Rizza Hontiveros but his campaigning for his aunt catapulted him instead to being one of the "cute idols" who inadvertently  stole the limelight in the elections. And he so charmed so many that my girl & gay friends never let up in pestering me unless I feature him in the blog. To tell you the truth, I didn't need much convincing. There's a dearth of really cute young actors to pair with the many pretty young actresses and-  voila, we have a certified cute idol material here. He definitely belongs to a really hot love team.

Pinoy Teleserye "Losing Heaven" on KTN Kenya

After "Two Wives" of ABS-CBN, the 2010 GMA teleserye "Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin", with its international title "Losing Heaven", is now showing at 6 PM Primetime, KTN, weekdays Kenya time.

It's interesting to see that be it in Southeast Asia or Africa, both GMA & ABS-CBN teleseryes are shown primetime.

OST de "PUENTES DE AMOR": "Pusong Ligaw" Subtitulado en Español

Me enteré de que todo el mundo buscaba las traducciones en Castellano de esta canción original de Jericho Rosales circa 2009  (video arriba). La nueva version de Michael Pangilinan se utilizó como banda sonora de la telenovela filipina que se estrena todavia en Peru,  Puentes de Amor (video abajo, con los subtitulos en Castellano).

 Hay noticias que Puentes de Amor se estrenara pronto a Ecuador y Colombia (y possiblemente Uruguay). Ojala.

The title was  translated in Spanish as "Stubborn Heart". Apparently it was translated by a Spanish-speaking Filipino. The song caught the fancy of the telenovela-watching crowd when "Bridges of Love" was shown there. There was no proper mv for the Michael Pangilinan version so the hodge-podge lyric video was the one circulating online in the Spanish-speaking blogosphere. I think it would be better to circulate a subtitled Jericho version considering that his mv was well-made & more presentable as promo material. There was not much improvement in the vocals of the Pangilinan version anyway.

HOT LEYTE, the Blogserye

Congresswoman Yedda Marie Romualdez,
Mayor Cristina Gonzales Romualdez,
Mayor Richard Gomez,
Congresswoman Lucy Torres Gomez

Let's start something fun today. Just to diversify our posts. The presence of so many sexy

politicians in the province of Leyte is a fertile ground for the imagination. The plot centers around the two biggest cities of Leyte: Ormoc & Tacloban, where the sexy mayors undertake a joint tourism promotion program for their cities. They were sure their enormous sex appeal would catapult their cities in the tourist maps.

Then the complications start...

SEX APPEAL IS BACK IN MALACAÑANG: Sara & Sebastian Duterte

Sex appeal is really making a comeback at Malacañang. The youngest son of the incoming President might have a permanent tan because of his love for skimming the waves at the spectacular Davao Gulf but all my girl & gay friends swear that only deepened his sexy credentials. The lady mayor of Davao City might have capriciously shaved her hair but it doesn't erase the fact she got the beauty genes intact.

I've been featuring in my recent posts the sexy politicians from the Visayas (Leyte specifically). Apparently, Mindanao won't disappoint either. The new Presidential family has good looks aplenty. 28 year old Sebastian Duterte is non-chalant about his face but the lack of vanity only proved the natural resources down south are indeed sexy. Sara Duterte is a diamond untouched by vanity as well but she has been voted as Mayor of Davao not only for her name but for her natural good looks.

Davao might have been one of the last cities established by the Spaniards (1848) but the heady brew of Chavacano migrants from Cotabato & Zamboanga, Spanish plantation owners, early American colonial soldiers who decided to pull up stakes and settle, Japanese descendants of pre-war migrants and practically all the country's ethnnolinguistic classes created a sexy population which is still not talked about much in the press. I often visit the city in my out of town trips & it's one of the Philippine cities with a high proportion of the  population not disappointing physically  (though with the high rate of immigration in recent years, there's a danger it might be diluted too much eventually like Metro Manila). A microcosm of a beautiful Pinoy melting pot still in high gear.

If Malacañang had been a desert lately, in the end some rain must fall. Not amihan but habagat.

HOT LEYTE 2: Even the Elected Congresswoman is a Beauty Queen

Leyte Congresswoman Yedda Marie Mendoza Romualdez

Leyte has definitely become the country's IT place since the elections. It is ruled by a really sexy set of political leaders that I have no doubt the people will be so stimulated to increase the island's population... ups, delete that, make that increase the island's GDP. The two biggest cities are ruled by sex symbols of local cinema, Tacloban's Cristina Gonzales Romualdez & Ormoc's Richard Gomez. It doesn't stop there: Ormoc on the western side also has the  lovely Lucy Gomez Torres as Representative, voted last year as one of the world's most beautiful politician. How about the eastern side of the island? Well, Leyteños must really be allergic to ugly politicians.  The new Congresswoman for the First District is none other than the Bb. Pilipinas-International for 1996.

Incredible! Leyte is HOT!!

KRINGKRING for President 2022?

I love "What if" situations. We just elected a new President but the year 2022 will surely come anyway. Besides, my preceding post HOT LEYTE  got so popular I just had to post this one. Just to keep us smiling (inspired?) on a lazy weekend...

We just elected the first mayor to become the President of the country, Davao City's Rodrigo Duterte. Tacloban, the regional capital of Eastern Visayas, just recently elected a sexy mayor in the person of Cristina Gonzales Romualdez. Can another mayor be elected President in 2022?  Someone as sexy as Kringkring?

You never know...

HOT LEYTE: Asia's (World's?) Sexiest Mayors at Tacloban & Ormoc

HOT LEYTE: Ormoc Mayor Richard Gomez & Tacloban
Mayor Cristina Gonzales Romualdez

The two biggest cities of the island of Leyte, Tacloban & Ormoc, happened to have Asia's (world's?)  sexiest mayors. Tacloban, the regional capital on the eastern side, has the sexiest woman mayor, Cristina Gonzales Romualdez, while the biggest city on the western side, Ormoc, has the sexiest man mayor, Richard Gomez (Ormoc also has the sexiest representative, Lucy Torres Gomez, included in the last year's list of world's most beautiful politicians).

If I were them, I would play up this fact in their tourism promos.

 I definitely have to play the tourist one of these days in Leyte.

TV RATINGS OF "PUENTES DE AMOR" IN PERU: The First-Timer Experience

A new promo released by Panamericana TV featuring Jericho
Rosales (May 5, 2016)

May 4, 2016-  The first Pinoy teleserye to be shown on Peruvian TV, "Puentes de Amor", is being shown on Panamericana TV, a station known for the quality of its local programming, but though a leading station at one point, has been suffering doldrums in the ratings for some time now. It has been shuffling its programming to find the right mix and it was at this juncture when the Pinoy teleserye emerged into the Peruvian scene. For a first-timer, it didn't fare poorly as the numbers might initially suggest. For Panamericana, it's highest rater (La Bateria) was at 33th place with 5.3 points. "Puentes de Amor" is the newest program but it was already the sixth biggest program for the station at 57th place with 1.9 points after only one week (an improvement from the 1.7 that it got at the last rating on April 27). It even beat the program Plan B of noted Peruvian personality Beto Ortiz which is one of the supposed heavyweights of Panamericana TV.

 For comparison in its genre, the Peruvian telenovela Valiente Amor at America TV was in second place at 21.9. The Pinoy teleserye (shown at 5:10 pm pre-primetime) is running against a Mexican telenovela, La Rosa de Guadalupe, which garnered 9.2 points at 14th place (it starts earlier at 4:56 pm at America TV).

Let's see if things would improve later on. After all, it's only been a week. It grew 0.2 points within that week.

UPDATE: On May 3 Ratings, it is already 2.1.

Scandal # 8: MAKE-BELIEVE 101: Different Faces of Sabotage of Pinoy Teen Films

UPDATE: I love writing "provocative" pieces because I know I have intelligent readers & I was confident of getting sensible, if not incisive,  comments. If you noticed, I left many things hanging in my article but as I expected, my intelligent readers were quick to get the drift, and even dissected it down to its deepest ramifications.
Please read the comments & you'll get the reason why:
1. They can't possibly stop from sabotaging Pinoy teen love teams, especially in the Spanish propaganda-cum-pirate sites
(The Hispanics would be more attracted to our Asian-Hispanic looks, & the campaign for the Asian phenotype that they were promoting would be derailed because the Cute Pinoys are the more natural idols of the Hispanics as glimpsed from the brief surge of the Pinoys before they were rudely sabotaged. Being "cool" (the gimmick of the bad guys) can never be a match to sex appeal). 
2. The agenda behind many of the things we are seeing is deeper & bigger than we think. Yes, Racism should have been a hackneyed  issue in these so-called progressive times but in the cusp of the Asian Century, it is coming in a big way. Only it has become more hilarious because of  some physical appearance insecurity contretemps.


Not a few have written to inquire what happened to our Kiligmanga series "Action Hero". Have I lost interest? Well, not really.

I have already written many chapters, & some were even more "provocative", but since I'm busy anyway, I just decided to leave it hanging for a while. This is not something that eats me. It's more an intellectual exercise actually: I saw something foul, so I blew the whistle...

Yes, nothing emotional. It won't start WW3. The world is changing, Asians are on the verge of sharing the world spotlight and everybody has his own agenda & like always, Pinoys have none so we end up perennially clueless. But more or less, we already know the world is basically run on make-believe-  some click to place but not everything, actually. It doesn't really take a big IQ to figure this one out as ridiculous. Even Edward Bernays himself didn't mention in his work Propaganda, the Bible of the make-believe world, that the make-believe is 100%  guaranteed. Especially if there's another agenda behind the obvious agenda. Mostly, we are at an information overload stage where one can easily spot the subterfuge make-believe purveyors at work. But delving into that means we have  to digress into some political murk. That won't be fun so let's leave it at that..

I expected a reaction though. And it came. From zero teleserye, there are many Pinoy teleseryes being shown now on pirate/ propaganda sites. In the Russian space alone, among a dozen Pinoy teleseryes,  two of the biggest , which happened to be  still showing on Pinoy TV (On The Wings Of Love & Pangako Sa Yo) are already being serialized.



 But as expected, only one teleserye is being  shown on the Spanish sites- On The Wings Of Love. After being accused (& proven) of sabotaging the Jadine .loveteam, on the surface at least, they are now defensively pretending to show wholehearted support for the loveteam. As we can see in a typical Spanish pirate/prop site (picture, above), all the films of the Jadine loveteams are being shown now. Oh, yes, even Talk back And You're Dead has Spanish subtitles now. Remember, it was the deletion of the requests for this film in Spanish sites that made us suspicious of a sabotage being done on Pinoy teen films, which we confirmed when we witnessed first-hand the big sabotage acts later on (read SCANDALS series Part 2 in this blog). You see, they can't afford to appear all-out for Pinoy films in Spanish sites. In the few sites where Talk Back appeared, the other hot Pinoy loveteam, Kathniel, disappeared. As you can see in the pirate page, though there are many Jadine films, not a single Kathniel flm appeared. We should remember Kathniel became as hot as the Jadine loveteam when their film She's Dating the Gangster became big on January, 2015, and like Jadine's Diary ng Panget (which started the Pinoy upsurge on October, 2014), it was sabotaged too- its rave reviews were all deleted too like DNP.

Now, it disappeared outright, and guessed what- sabotaged a second-time! It seems, somebody doesn't want too many hot Pinoys hogging the limelight. In the original Spanish site (Cineasiaenlinea) where I first noted the sabotage against Diary ng Panget & She's Dating The Gangster, the Kathniel film suddenly disappeared then reappeared! Look at the image below. 

From one of the biggest hits for 2015,  NOTE, ONLY 1 COMMENTARY,  all the rave reviews which appeared after the 70 that appeared there in January 2015 have been deleted, have been deleted again. TWICE DELETED!!!!

Should we be glad that Pinoy teleseryes are now being shown on the pirate/propaganda sites? That is not the point really. The point is that our suspicion that Pinoy films & teleseryes were intentionally being "hidden" was just confirmed: when we blew the whistle upon seeing the foul, Pinoy teleseryes started appearing in the pirate sites! Talking about direct cause & effect.

We also now know their game of sabotage is a long game... As long as they find that Plastic Surgery has its limits, they will always see Cute Pinoys as fair game...

I just hope ABS-CBN was well-compensated by the syndicate behind the pirate/propaganda sites. The two Pinoy teleseryes Pangako Sa Yo & On The Wings of Love could be big hits like Forevermore in Kazakhstan where more could see them unlike the .limited audience of the pseudo-pirate sites ..

Or could the showing in the pirate/propaganda sites of teleseryes still showing in the Philippines be underhanded acts of sabotage to the marketability of said teleseryes because they are being shown free in a geographical area where Pinoy teen stars are the hottest young Asian stars du jour? I just hope they paid for using them in the propaganda sites, it would be too ridiculous to see them pretending as pirates now

SCANDAL!!!! PART 4: The Pinoy Teen Idols In Russia & the Post-Soviet Space... Now, We Can Confirm The Sabotage Is Ongoing Here, Though In A Different Form... And We Now Know Who Is the Culprit

UPDATE (July 15, 2015): As early as February 2015, I've noted that fan clubs allegedly for Pinoy artists were established in the Russian VKontakte or VK. But I immediately discovered they inserted propaganda for South Koreans every now & then: they would invent false polls where out of the twenty Top  Hits in the Philippines, all were allegedly South Koreans  except for two who were given to Pinoys (probably, they delusionally thought theirs were the American hits dominating our airwaves). Or they presented alleged polls in Philippine journals where Filipinos were so awed by certain South Korean beauties (which we didn't even know existed) that they dominated our beauty polls (Their delusional preoccupation with their presumed "Beauty" figures prominently in the propaganda, both legal & dirty kinds). When Pinoys started becoming active in the VK pages by March, that trick lay low but it returned with a full blast this July. They had to:  Pinoys are hitting it big in that area, especially with the passage of the hit teleserye "Forevermore" which has obliterated whatever dividends "Boys Over Flowers had over there, considering the Kazakhs form the largest market of Asiatic film-lovers in Central Asia & the Russian Far East (I'll detail this in a forthcoming article). I guess this sabotage which we first noted in Latin America is a continuing operation, especially now that events have so evolved that the Pinoys seemed now to be considered as a threat. The South Korean propaganda revolves around their delusions about their "beauty", and here comes the Pinoys who are more beautiful than them as accepted even in this area.  I guess the propagandists have no recourse but to continue with the dirty tricks to stave off their waning popularity.  I'll discuss that in detail in another forthcoming article. 

The Pinoy VK pages are propaganda fronts using the captive Russian fans (mostly Mongoloid minorities)  as captive market for their propaganda. But the memberships of these VK groups were made irrelevant by the outside groups, like the Kazakh-established pages, which had far more readers than them. It is turning out the South Korean Hallyu is a big mirage created by a big propaganda structure in many parts of the world and it is not quite impressive outside that propaganda noise. It is losing steam.

The sabotage is expected to continue because they have done all the Plastic Surgery, they are stuck with the faces they have now. (At least, this is the most hilarious sabotage!)

If you noticed, the scandals in Russia just created the first direct public connection to  South Korean propaganda).

The following post appeared on June 15, 2015:

As we go deeper into our little investigation, it is becoming more & more apparent that  the  pirate Asiatic film-loving community doesn't involve only cheapskate individuals out to scrimpt on anything just to avoid shelling out money for their entertainment. Bigger forces which you won't expect involved in this supposedly "illegal" activity are actually behind the bigger sites.

ENGLISH VERSION, KILIGMANGA series, ACTION HERO, Part 9: When Villains Are Not Really Cute, Not Even Popular!, STARRING KathNiel & LizQuen

The Pinoy teen film "Diary ng Panget" immediately became a big hit when it was released in the so-called Asiatic film "pirate sites" on October, 2014. At first, the Villains thought the Cute Pinoys just got lucky for once but it turned out the lucky streak became sustained. They started to get nervous when another Pinoy teen film (She's Dating The Gangster) also became a hit when it was released on New Year's Day 2015 in a Spanish site (Cineasiaenlinea): the Pinoy teen stars shone from October, 2014 well into early 2015 though there were only a handful Pinoy films which were shown in these so-called Asiatic film "pirate sites" (we now know there is nothing pirate about these sites, they are propaganda sites) but the good-looking Pinoy teen stars, relatively unknown because of the limited Pinoy films allowed to be shown, easily stood out and stole the limelight from the usual Asiatic fare which has started to bore the still marginal community despite years of free Asiatic films. Most of the patrons of these free pseudo-pirate sites are young people budgeting their limited allowance that's why they were targeted by the Villains in the first place. According to the theory of the Villains, this is part of a social engineering project designed to change the standard of beauty from the previous Western one to the Oriental- Northeastern Asian Mongoloid, to be exact, where the Villain type is supposed to be the "prettiest" (for whatever reason- probably because of the popularity of Plastic Surgery there?). Through propaganda, they were aiming to condition these young people to appreciate Villainous beauty so that they will grow up believing it is the standard of beauty from which the world will measure everyone else. 

 Oh-oh... Stop! Don't laugh! We know it's so laughable but the Villains and their co-delusional cohorts are actually serious. Believe it or not! 

 How can they become the new Standard of Beauty when the kids were already openly expressing they were long fed up with their faces? To the big dismay of the Villains, they realized their ridiculous social engineering project was turning out to be a mere delusion. And to their panic, the sudden appearance of the Cute Pinoy stars, long shielded from view because of the limited number of Pinoy films allowed to be shown, became the definitive proof that the REAL best-looking faces from Asia have arrived...

MR. NOT CUTE: Our plan to become the new Standard of Beauty in the future is endangered now. We are on our way to change the parameters... we should soon be the new Standard of Beauty... but the deadbeat Cute Pinoys are destroying everything!

CHIEF COHORT: Why should they be so cute? They should have been us, Big Boss.. we wouldn't have come out looking like ridiculous thick-face wannabes pretending to be the most beautiful when we were obviously not!
MR. NOT CUTE: You moron!... you too?... You weren't fooled also by our propaganda? You should fool yourself we are the most beautiful! WE ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL!!! We will soon become the new Standard of Beauty in the world!!!

CHIEF COHORT: But, Big Boss.... the Cute Pinoys are already making us eat dust in Asia... how can we even be the new Standard of Beauty in the world?

MR. NOT CUTE: You are really stupid, you dimwit!!!... What do you think of the Cute Pinoys...  that they could eclipse us just like that? There may be nothing more that Plastic Surgery can do to help us... but we can always sabotage. SABOTAGE! Did you hear me? SABOTAGE!!!

Meanwhile, the Cute Pinoys were so tickled pink to learn that the world found them cute.

Smiles galore all around... little did they know that the glistening claws were starting to clench in the dark...


VOICE-OVER:  Wow, did you hear that... what for is Diversity if they could be the Standard? ... Standard of Beauty? ... or should it be... Standard of Horror? 
BWA HA HA HA HA
