JULIA BARETTO LUMIPAT NA SA VIVA ARTISTS AGENCY

Yan ang larawang pinost ngayong araw ni Julia Baretto sa kanyang instagram account. Isang glamorosang, napakaganda at seksing Julia kung saan mula mismo sa kanya ay ang kumpirmasyong wala na nga siya sa bakuran ng ABS-CBN partikular ang pagiging Star Magic Artist niya. Yes. Nagpaalam na nga sa kanyang kinalakihang network si Julia.

" I'am now officially represented by Viva Artists Agency. Thank you for the warmest welcome, I'am truly looking forward to this new journey. " ayon pa sa kanyang naging instagram post.

Sigurado akong hindi rin ito naging madaling desisyon sa parte ni Julia but she has to work at mahal niya ang kanyang trabaho. 

Unang-una ay magaling siyang umarte, may followers at isa sa may pinakamagandang mukha sa showbiz sa kanyang henerasyon. 

Pinasalamatan din ng lubos ni Julia ang kanyang Star Magic family.

" Thank you to my Star Magic family, especially Tita Cris, Mr. M and Ms. Mariolle for all the guidance, protection and support every step of the way. "

" Thank you for your continous mentorship and supervision. Star Magic is what it is today because of the two of you. Thank you for everything! " sez Julia sa kanyang instagram post.

Well, panibagong yugto nga ito sa kanyang buhay at career kaya kaabang-abang ang kanyang tatahaking daan this time naman sa kanyang bagong pamilya ang Viva Artists Agency.

NEIL ARCE AT ANGEL LOCSIN HIWALAY NA?

Manghihinayang ako personally kung totoo man ang tsismis na nagkalabuan, naghiwalay o hiwalay na sina Angel Locsin at Neil Arce! Almost a month ng pinag-uusapan ang dalawa na tila tahimik naman sa naturang isyu. Wala nga akong narinig mula sa dalawang kampo kaya malakas ang paniniwala kong still together sila. Pero nitong nakaraang araw lang ay may nakapagsabi sa akin na hiwalay na raw talaga ang dalawa at nanatili silang tahimik lang sa hiwalayan! Malalim daw ang dahilan kung bakit naghiwalay daw ang dalawa. May nagsabi pa sa akin na merong 3rd party involved. 

Hay naku! Sana naman ay tsismis lang ito dahil ang alam ko ay nakatakda ng magpakasal ang dalawa sa susunod na taon! 

Ewan ko nalang! Hay! Yan ang showbiz eh! Walang kasiguruhan! Anyways, sana fake news ito!

JOSHUA GARCIA TAWID KAPUSO NA NGA BA?

Sa pagsasara ng ABS-CBN o Kapamilya Network ay hindi lang empleyado nito ang nawalan ng trabaho kundi ganoon din ang mga artistang sa kanila umaasa naka-kontrata man o hindi. Kawawa sila kung tutuusin dahil nga nga sila ng kung ilang taon man abutin bago magbukas muli ang naturang istasyon. Ang maganda ay inabisohan ng management ang bawat artista nila na pupuwede na silang lumipat o tumanggap ng proyekto outside ABS pero marami pa rin ang ayaw umalis sa network dahil nga siguro sa sukatang loyal sila sa network. 

Maraming artista na rin ang naglipatan huh! Pero ang pinaka-latest, usap-usapan ngayon ang diumano ay paglipat nitong magaling na aktot na si Joshua Garcia sa GMA Channel 7! May nakarating kasing tiktak sa akin na mukhang tatawid na sa Kapuso Network ni Joshua at babu na itey sa Kapamilya? 

Saganang akin lang, kung pinayagan naman na sila at may offer ay bakit naman hindi, diba? Aba! Kailangang maghanapbuhay ng mga ito para mabuhay sila at maitawid ang kanilang mga pangangailangan sa araw-araw sa dami for sure ng umaasa sa kanya! Why not coconut! Usap-usapan palang ito pero for sure malalaman din natin ang totoo! 

Ewan! Basta! Goodluck!

BIONIC MAX QUALIFIES FOR PRODUCTION INCENTIVES DURING 2ND CYCLE OF FILM PHILIPPINES FLIP


 


MANILA, PHILIPPINES, SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 -- The animated TV series Bionic Max has qualified for financial incentives under the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) and its FilmPhilippines Office’s (FPO) Film Location Incentive Program (FLIP). 

 

France–based Gaumont has secured the services of Filipino production company Top Draw Animation for Bionic Max, an animated children’s series about the misadventures of a bionic guinea pig named Max and his goldfish friend JC.  Through FLIP, Top Draw Animation is now eligible for a 20% cash rebate of up to PHP 10 Million (approx. US$ 196,000). 

 

Top Draw Animation, founded in 1999, has previously worked for other well-known international productions, including My Little Pony: the Movie (2018), The Hollow (2018), and Penn Zero: Part Time Hero Season 2 (2017).

 

FLIP is FDCP’s financial incentives program that provides cash rebates to Filipino line production companies working on international projects. The program seeks to support such projects by providing financial flexibility for Filipino production companies hired by international productions. It launched its first cycle in January this year.

 

Projects across a range of audiovisual media are eligible for FLIP. A wide variety of audiovisual productions, from animated series’ such as Bionic Max to live-action films and shows, documentary projects, and more may receive cash rebates through the program. To be eligible, international productions must hire Filipino line production companies and have a minimum qualified production spending of PHP 8 million. Like Bionic Max, eligible productions may receive up to PHP 10 Million in cash rebates.

 

Bionic Max qualified for FLIP during the program’s second cycle of applications which was held from May 1st to July 31st. It is now the third project to receive financial incentives under FLIP. During its first cycle, FDCP awarded incentives to the Filipino line producers of the shows Almost Paradise and Survivor Russia. 

 

In addition to FLIP, FDCP also implements the International Co-Production Fund (ICOF) this year. ICOF is a selective fund for feature-length films of any genre that are internationally co-produced with Filipino production companies. It provides up to PHP 10 Million in cash incentives and requires a minimum projected spending of PHP 5 Million. 

 

During its first cycle, ICOF awarded the projects Nocebo (directed by Lorcan Finnegan and co-produced by Philippines-based Epicmedia and UK-based Wild Swim Films) and Kapag Wala Nang Mga Alon (When the Waves are Gone) (directed by Lav Diaz and co-produced by Epicmedia alongside Danish production company Snowglobe and French production company Films Boutique) with funding. 

 

Both FLIP and ICOF were launched by FDCP’s FilmPhilippines Office to encourage more international productions to hire or co-produce their projects with Philippine production companies.

 

Productions wishing to avail of either FLIP or ICOF incentives may apply now. The third cycle for applications for both financial incentive programs opened on September 1st and will continue through November 27. 

 

FDCP'S PPP4 TO PROMOTE UNITY AND SOLIDARITY THROUGH PPP ONLINE 2020


 


Festival passes (Premium All-Access Pass, Half-Run Pass, and Day Pass) will be sold for PPP Online 2020, and all of the proceeds will be given to producers involved through revenue sharing. The FDCP, even as it will sponsor the exclusive PPP Online platform and provide marketing support for all PPP 2020 films, will not charge fees to producers nor will it get a cut in the sales from the festival passes.

 

“As we face a global pandemic, I believe that the PPP will highlight the importance of coming together to support and keep the film industry alive through the continued appreciation and love of Philippine Cinema by showing classics, indies, and contemporary films,” remarked FDCP Chairperson and CEO Liza DiƱo.

 

“Despite the limited budget, the FDCP is exhausting all efforts to support Filipino filmmakers in these challenging times by holding the PPP as a representation of unity and a solidarity event that gives back to the filmmaking community greatly affected by the COVID-19 crisis,” she added.

 

Meanwhile, the final 12 short films from the CineMarya Women’s Film Festival will have a special premiere in PPP 2020. CineMarya was launched by the FDCP in partnership with the Department of the Interior and Local Government and the Philippine Commission on Women to tell stories of Filipino women, particularly their strength and passion in rising above prejudice and overcoming societal struggles. 

 

As for Sine Kabataan, films from its previous editions will be shown alongside PPP 2020 titles. Sine Kabataan showcases short films from filmmakers aged 18 to 30 on issues relevant to the youth revolving around family values, education, health, and security and peace building. 

 

This year, the 4th Sine Kabataan will have an online film development lab program. Workshops and sessions of the Sine Kabataan Film Lab on script development, pitching, safe filming, and editing will kick off in November during the PPP run.

PISTA NG PELIKULANG PILIPINO 2020 TULOY NA TULOY

MANILA, PHILIPPINES, SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 — “Tuloy ang Pista 2020!” declared the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) as it gears for the fourth edition of its flagship event, the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino (PPP).

 

This declaration comes in the move of FDCP to help sustain the Filipino film industry and support Philippine Cinema in light of the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to the country.  The PPP, which aims to be a solidarity event, will screen more than 100 films online in an exclusive FDCP-sponsored platform (FDCPchannel.ph) from October 31 to November 15.

“PPP4, Sama All” is the new slogan of the nationwide film festival. It is a play on the famous “sana all” catchphrase to indicate that PPP Online 2020 will host different film festivals in one platform, therefore welcoming a wide range of filmmakers and audiences. It will have a total of 13 curated sections: Premium, Classics, Documentary, Romance, Youth and Family, Genre, Regional Full-Length, Philippine Submissions to the Oscars, PPP Retro, LGBT, and Tributes to departed industry pillars, along with CineMarya and Sine Kabataan.

 

The Premium section will feature films that had limited release or have never been released to the Philippine audience while the Classics section will screen works by National Artists for Cinema or Film from the FDCP’s Philippine Film Archive Collection such as “Genghis Khan” (1950) by Manuel Conde, “Manila by Night” (1980) by Ishmael Bernal, and “White Slavery” (1985) by Lino Brocka.

 

A FUTURE OF ELEVATION, INSPIRATION AND COLLABORATION SEZ FDCP CHAIRPERSON LIZA DINO-SEGUERRA


 FDCP Chairperson and CEO Liza DiƱo stated, “Sine Sandaan: The Next 100 encapsulates our aspirations for the future of Philippine Cinema. It is both in the spirit of empowering our local industry and taking those significant steps towards that future that we hope for — a future of elevation, inspiration, and collaboration.”

 

She continued, “This celebratory event also serves as a venue for cooperation in the film industry. Just as we officially close the Philippine Cinema Centennial Celebration, we look forward to the next hundred years wherein the industry will aim to reach greater heights, cross borders, and explore uncharted territories.”

 

Sine Sandaan or Presidential Proclamation No. 622, series of 2018 officially declared September 12, 2019 to September 11, 2020 as the year-long celebration of the Philippine Cinema Centennial to be spearheaded by the FDCP. The beginning of this milestone commemorates the September 12, 1919 release date of the first film directed and produced by a Filipino, “Dalagang Bukid” by Jose Nepomuceno. President Rodrigo Duterte signed the Sine Sandaan Proclamation on November 8, 2018.

JOHN GABRIEL HILIG TALAGA ANG MUSIKA


 Released na sa mga digital platforms tulad ng Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, TikTok, You Tube music ang debut single ng aspiring singer-actor na si John Gabriel na “Oh, Pilipina.”


Laking tuwa ng 20 year-old na tubong-Marikina ang paglabas ng kanyang single dahil mahilig na sa musika si John kahit nu’ng bata pa siya. Hip-hop ang kanyang genre kaya pinag-aralan niya itong mabuti. Alam ni John na may maganda siyang boses pero hindi pumasok sa kanyang isip ang  sumali sa mga singing contests kahit pa intense ang interest niya sa music at singing.


Unang sumubok sa pagiging bokalista ng isang banda si John. Kasama ang kanyang mga kaibigan sa Heart of Mary College ay binuo nila ang bandang The Jaywalkers. In fairness, tumagal nang tatlong taon ang kanilang banda na lalong nagpaigting sa pangarap ni John na maging kilalang singer katulad ng kanyang mga idolong sina Justin Bieber at Daniel Padilla.


“Ever since na napanood at napakinggan ko sila, I want to be like them. They inspired me to pursue my dreams po,” sabi ni John.

Ngayong nasa showbiz na siya, ang unang gustong ma-achieve ni John ay ang maipakita ang kanyang talent sa mas malaking audience. Bukod sa pagkanta, he can also play musical instruments tulad ng guitar at drums.


But wait, there’s more! Gusto rin niyang subukin ang acting. “Im very happy po and overwhelmed kasi this is my first time na pagkatiwalaan ng isang manager. Kaya lahat po nang ipinapagawa niya sa akin ay ginagawa ko the best way I can. From being a nobody, I want to be somebody. Gusto ko pong makilala bilang isang mahusay na singer at actor,” pahayag ni John na mina-manage ni Daddie Wowie Roxas.


“Gusto ko pong makilala bilang isang hip-hop artist. Alam ko pong marami pa akong kakaining bigas bago ko ma-achieve ang pangarap ko pero naniniwala po ako na time and patience is the key of success,” dagdag pa ng loving, caring at malambing na baguhang singer.


Naniniwala siya na right timing ang pagpasok niya sa showbiz. Anim na taon na ang nakararaan ay nagpadala siya ng kanyang bio kay Daddie Wowie para mag-apply as talent pero dahil sa palagay ng manager ay hindi pa hinog si John ay hinayaan muna siyang ma-improve ang kanyang sarili bago ito sumalang. Kaya naman nu’ng nakaraang November, si Daddie Wowie mismo ang nagsabi na puwedeng-puwede na siya. Kaya malaki ang pasasalamat ni John na sa poder ni Daddie Wowie siya napunta.


“I am so grateful to him kaya I am doing my best sa lahat ng mga ipinagagawa niya sa akin kahit pa may lockdown o kahit na gaano pa kahirap ang kailangan kong gawin to prepare myself for a career in showbiz.


“I want to prove to Daddie Wowie that I am worth it. I will strive to be the best that I can be,” sabi ni John na handang-handa na sa kanyang pagpasok sa magulo pero masayang mundo ng showbiz.


“Naniwala po ako sa destiny. If it’s meant to happen, it will happen. Pangarap ko ito and hindi ako titigil to fulfill my dream,” sabi ni John na kasali rin sa pelikulang My First and Forever under Heaven’s Best Entertainment featuring Rita Daniella and Ken Chan.

Check out John Gabriel first single on digital music stores #spotify #itunes #applemusic at naririnig na rin ngayon ang “Oh, Pilipina”  sa Forever Request ng Baranggay LS 97.1 FM.
