PINOY TELESERYE@ SNTV Vietnam: Carmela/ Ikaw Lamang/Dyesebel

Pinoy Teleserye FOREVERMORE Starring LIZQUEN next on KTN Kenya

The international hit Forevermore is continuing its winning streak after it first took Kazakhstan by storm last year. It has already been shown on cable throughout Africa by StarTimes but it will be shown on free TV for the millions of masses on KTN as replacement for another Pinoy teleserye Losing Heaven which is on its last 5 episodes.

I expect it to be on primetime, like the other Pinoy teleseryes shown on KTN before.

"Бақытты болғым келеді" / DOLCE AMORE Starring LIZQUEN soon on 31KANAL Kazakhstan

The Kathniel loveteam of Pinoy teen stars Daniel Padilla & Kathryn Bernardo was Best-Loved Teleserial couple for 2016 in Kazakhstan in a recent online poll by the Kazakh TV station 31Kanal by virtue of their hit teleserye Pangako Sa Yo. But here comes the new teleserye Dolce Amore of another super loveteam from the Philippines, Lizquen of Enrique Gil & Liza Soberano, who turned out to be the best-loved loveteam in 2015 in Kazakhstan by virtue of their hit teleserye Forevermore. 

Cute Pinoys are flying high. Natural beauty, real beauty all the way.

Спасибо, казахстан!

SWEET CALORIES OF LOVE: "Dolce Amore" starring Enrique Gil & Liza Soberano

UPDATE: Please read the comments, the discussion is interesting- about the use of movie idols in social engineering, and an enlightening account on how the Golden Age of Philippine movies from 1970-90 ended

The caterer of the teleserye Dolce Amore is obviously very good. Both the leading stars are gaining weight. I wonder if that was the message behind the title- sweet love has lots of calories.

Va bene... Lo sai...

ONLINE POLL IN KAZAKHSTAN: KATHNIEL is the Most Loved Teleserial Pair

Here is another example why the Bad Guys who love to sabotage Pinoy teen stars fear them. The Cute Pinoys are really making waves everywhere where their teleseryes are shown. It is genuine popularity, not the fake manufactured one which relies on propaganda, dirty tricks & sabotage.

In Kazakhstan, there was an online poll today: the literal translation of the question in Russian was Which among the pairs in our teleserials (being shown in Kazakstan) do you love best? The other series came from India, Turkey & Russia.

Pangako Sa Yo is not only slated to be shown in Peru. It is also currently being shown simultaneously in many countries in Africa & Kazakhstan. In Kazakhstan, the Kathniel loveteam of Pinoy teen stars Daniel Padilla & Kathryn Bernardo has so created a storm that in that online poll by the Kazakh station 31Kanal as to which was the hottest pair among the stars of the various teleserials being shown there, Kathniel easily topped the poll lopsidedly, copping 66.4% of the votes.

We should not forget, another top Pinoy teen loveteam, the Lizquen pair of Enrique Gil & Liza Soberano, was named as the loveliest pair in the world by local fans when the teleserye Forevermore was shown there last year.

No wonder the Bad Guys are seething with envy & can't stop sabotaging.

The Winner: Angelo & Yna

Kathryn Bernardo plays Yna

INDIE MOVIE TRAILER: "Dukot" Starring Enrique Gil

All is not lost on GMA, Pinoy Teleserye can only fly higher? ENCANTADIA trailer

 I wrote a rather frank comment on a certain self-defeating propensity of GMA the other day, but that was not meant to cut off a limb of the Pinoy teleserye-making machine. The South Korean barnacles are so washed-up, they are imploding anyway (like in Peru, they clung whichever which way despite being unwanted just to maintain the propaganda fiction of Korean wave though they were so unpopular they have had the lowest ratings for nearly a decade in a field of Peruvian, Mexican, Colombian, Turkish & lately Filipino telenovelas). GMA should get rid of them pronto, they will just bite it at the back the moment insecurity sets in. I am still hoping that GMA gets its act together & produces good teleseryes like it used to, that will only be for the good of Pinoy teleseryes in the long run. It actually has under its sleeves popular international hits like the Marian Rivera starrers.

 It used to excel in fantaseryes. Let's see if its fortunes will pick up with this one so it doesn't have to kowtow to insecure snakes who bites at the back the first moment envy sets in.

GMA should have more class... Seeking Solace from Foreign Washed-Ups will only sink it deeper (Support from a Laos will just make it laos)

We know GMA has been in the doldrums for a long time. It's more optimal to have competition in the local broadcast industry because competition forces everybody to come up with better products. I was hoping it could regain its footing & put up a fight. Though I could imagine it was humiliating to be beaten black & blue in the ratings almost everyday especially in an industry which treats ratings as its Bible. But I have to admit it's really hard to put much weight on the AGB Nielsen tales considering its hard to  explain its obvious lack of  correspondence to reality. Just one noteworthy example, I remember the alleged ratings of a teleserye of its young loveteam was even higher than that of a rival team in Metro Manila but you'll be hard put to explain why they were relatively unknown even in Manila. Nobody bothered to take advantage commercially on their "popularity" as if there was nothing there. But the "less popular" competition became practically superstars.

I could imagine GMA needed a "karamay". But at a time when this blog has just documented the latest among a series of sabotage incidents on Pinoy stars involving South Korean fingerprints, I find it objectionable to read (in the comments section of my post on the latest sabotage) that it still allows itself to be used by the washed-up South Koreans and will be releasing "3 Koreanovelas" next week. As if it's celebrating that a Pinoy teleserye, admittedly by its rival Abs-Cbn, has just been sabotaged successfully.

There's no doubt that the propaganda fiction of Korea Wave has fizzled out  throughout the world. It is being kept alive by the likes of GMA who still innocently echo its propaganda while the South Koreans treat the more star material Pinoys as threats that should be neutralized in order that the propaganda fiction stays alive (Read Tales of Sabotage at the sidebar). GMA remained in the doldrums despite their association anyway, it just reinforced its image as a weak producer that it had to seek the support of a foreign washed-up that is trashing the locals to stay alive. So is GMA keeping them alive locally just so it could sabotage not only its rival but Pinoy teleserye?

Pinoy teleseryes are flying high internationally, it's performing better commercially than the South Korean or other Asian dramas in many parts of the world, and it doesn't matter if it's GMA or ABSCBN.  If Pinoys were really wiser, teleseryes should have been treated as a national strength & protected so it gets stronger. They should defend it & vaccinate themselves from an obvious competitor who consider them as threats & doesn't balk on doing sabotage on them as they embrace. The continued presence of this competitor only perpetuates the inferiority complex that shouldn't be there anymore, it only corrodes the standards that Pinoy should finally start being proud of.

If GMA can't produce viable teleseryes anymore, instead of coddling a virus that seeks destruction, wouldn't it be more practical that its owners just sell to somebody who knows how to defend & fortify national strengths like the teleserye?

Below are comments I extracted from my post on the latest sabotage incident. (Please refrain from commenting below, I don't want a network war. It's enough we read the extracts below).

Please read also the following articles as backgrounder to this post:

 1. SABOTAGE OF PINOY TELESERYE "LA PROMESA" SUCCEEDS: "Puentes de Amor" ends & it will be replaced not by "La Promesa" but by a re-issued, previously low-rater South Korean drama in an apparent schedule-grab

TELESERYE TRAILER: "Till I Met U" starring JADINE

The emails containing video contributions/recommendations from my friends so cluttered my inbox during  my vacation that I missed this one. Better late than never. This means, no rigodons of the loveteams yet. Anyway, another teleserye from one of the Big 4 young loveteams of the country is a welcome thing. The more, the merrier.

Jadine was the first Pinoy loveteam to be sabotaged by the Bad Guys when the 2014 movie Diary Ng Panget overwhelmed everybody in the pirate Asiatic film community. The exposure ended with a reverse psychology effect which forced the Bad Guys to publicize the Jadine loveteam instead. So Jadine is now the most constant Pinoy presence in the outwardly pirate (but actually) propaganda sites (where they get representative popular  artists from other Asian countries but they flood the sites with South Korean films hoping that when one visits a Jadine film, they get bogged down to watch the numerous South Korean films, contributing to the fictitious narrative of the popularity of the South Korean wave. The overwhelming presence of the South Korean films also give the subliminal message that add to their contrived narrative of popularity. Unfortunately for them, these pirate sites are marginal in the scheme of things. Meanwhile, in the actual world, they get very low ratings.

Jadine is safe FOR NOW from the Bad guys so the Bad Guys are hitting on other Pinoy loveteams like Kathniel. Read Tales of Sabotage at the Sidebar for the details.

PHILPOP 2016: Dumadagundong - Yassi Pressman (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

CUTE PINAY & PINOY MONITOR: Bianca Umali is Blooming Nicely, So is Ruru Madrid

When I first saw Bianca Umali last year, she was part of a loveteam & somehow her personality didn't come thru. A year hence & I saw the clip below: she has definitely metamorphosed. I realized she could be a Kathryn Bernardo/Julia Barreto mix in some angles. I checked the other loveteam of GMA & it turned out the boy, Ruru Madrid,  has definitely "molted" too in a hunky way &  I thought, if paired with somebody as appealing as Bianca, their loveteam could give the Big 4 young loveteams of the country a run for their money. I wonder if GMA had no intention of shuffling its young loveteams. A Bianca-Ruru could turn it Big 5, the sexy one among the bunch.

 The more cute love teams, the merrier.

Ruru Madrid

FINALLY: Pinoy Action with BRANDON VERA & ANNE CURTIS

This one really got my attention. Finally a Pinoy action movie. Featuring famous Filipino-American MMA fighter Brandon Vera. Now finally the Philippines has an answer to Thailand's Tony Jaa & Indonesia's Iko Uwais. Directed by Erik Matti, no less.

As a bonus, cute Anne Curtis is the co-star.

PINOY TELESERYE IN MALAYSIA: 6 Teleseryes on Astrobella- MY DESTINY, SANA'Y WALA NANG WAKAS, JENNA, IMORTAL, CHILDREN IN MY HEART, ADARNA

Every now & then, we check the teleserye scene in a particular part of the world. In Malaysia, Astrobella has 6 teleseryes being shown daily, 4 from GMA & 2 from Abs-Cbn.

Kinda curious that there are more GMA teleseryes being shown in Southeast Asia though ABSCBN shows sell more in other geographical areas. Does that mean both broadcast companies don't necessarily compete with each other outside the country and actually complement each other in offering what suits in a particular geographical market?

My Destiny- GMA
Sanay Wala Nang Wakas- ABSCBN
Jenna- GMA
Imortal- ABS-CBN
Children in my Heart- GMA
Adarna- GMA

NO SEX SCANDAL YET: Sexy Jessy Mendiola

Let's take a break from our sabotage/nutcracking. I must admit this was the first time that local actress Jessy Mendiola  caught my attention. But the moment I read the screaming title of the email of my friend (he's hetero) in capital letters- YOU MUST POST THIS!-  I knew there must be something. You see, that was the first time he emailed a contribution for this blog. So I opened it and I readily agreed.  I don't usually follow the lists conducted by local magazines but apparently she is the new FHM Sexiest woman of the year. I must admit she's packing where it counts.

Wooh, I have another addition to my sex scandal wishlist...

VACATION from Sabotage of Pinoy Teen Stars and other Hilarious Tales

I'll be on vacation for the rest of the month. But we might still have irregular posts. I just would like to leave you an extract of the comments from the preceding post ("LA PROMESA" in PERU: KATHNIEL is coming to Peru & the "Popular Kunwari" are at War").  Just for reflection... Without us realizing it, Pinoy teleserye has become one of the biggest players in the world, and while most of us are still stuck in their self-defeating inferiority complex torturing themselves with inane nitpicking about supposed "deficiencies", the fact  is, Pinoy teleserye (helped by beautiful Pinoy looks) is now a force to reckon with in world markets.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest complications is the fact that Pinoy stars are now subject to constant sabotage by insecure sectors threatened by their resurgence. Fortunately, the bad guys are already washed-up and fading fast (Of course, that makes them more dangerous as they struggle so expect more sabotage as they fall).

Please don't react in this post, but if you still want to, just join the discussion in the previous post.

MOVIE TRAILER: "Imagine You and Me" starring Aldub

Remember the Pinay singer who joined ROMANIA GOT TALENT? Resciebelle Santiago sings "Hello"

My friends usually just email their recommendations & it's up to me to choose what to post. I refrained from featuring music videos for a time & I have a bunch cluttering my inbox. Suddenly I felt like opening a few & when I got to this, I felt something got unstuck: I did finish the song, carried away by the breathless notes & I thought I finally realized what was the thing that I couldn't put a finger on for a long time that got me very curious about birit in the first place. Birit lifts you up & you tend not to want to come down even after the last note has died. It's like a drug whose effects you won't want to dissipate just yet.

It was the finals but I couldn't care less who won. Resciebelle Santiago has more class than some of our more famous divas, one of which I happened to just witness squeaking in a recent act.

"PANGAKO SA YO" IN PERU: "La Promesa" soon on Panamericana TV
