EDUARD BANEZ, NAGBUBUNYI SA FIRST TRANSGENDER NA NAG-UWI NG KARANGALAN SA PINAS!

First transgender si Angel Bonilla na nag-uwi ng karangalan  sa Pilipinas pagdating sa pagkanta.

Hindi  siya nabigo na magkaroon ng puwesto bilang kinatawan ng  ating bansa  sa Discovery International Pop Music Festival sa Europe ( Varna, Bulgaria) nu’ng May 22 para sa Best Song, Best Singer.

“Out of 57 countries Philippines placed 2nd runner up. This is for you Philippines and to my LGBT family..Thank you to all the people who helped me.. Mabuhay po ang Pilipinas!, “pagmamalaking post ng Fil-Am Transgender.

” I dedicate this award to my beloved country, The Philippines. This award represents my blood and talent and of course the unity of OFW who helped me, believed in me and voted for me! This award represents my country, our unity and the change of the Philippines,” dagdag pa ni Angel.

Nasungkit ng Bulgaria ang grand champion.  First runner up ang  Romania at Malta at   2nd runner up ang   Philippines at  Russia.

Tumanggap din  si Angel  ng special award  na Individualism Award na ang ibig sabihin ay may originality o may sariling identity as an artist.

Tunay  na Pinoy proud si Angel  at sobra ang kasiyahan ng kanyang mentor, Net 25 newscaster, Philippine Socialite at produkto ng Star Magic na si Eduard Banez.

“ We  dedicate this award to all the people in the Philippines who are united in solidarity. I would like to thank all  OFW who believe in my friend and helped her to pursue her dreams. The unity of  Filipinos is shown by all who voted for her and believed in her talent. Congratulations Angel for getting 2nd runner up out of 57 countries who battles International Pop festival. Mabuhay Angel. Mabuhay Pilipinas,” mensahe ni Eduard.

Mula pa lang sa umpisa ng laban ni Angel ay nandyan na at nakasuporta si Eduard.  Ipinagmamalaki niya ang mga transgender dahil hindi lang sa Kongreso / politika umaariba kundi pati sa entertainment.

Nagbubunyi ang LGBT sa  tagumpay ni Angel. Kahit ang Reyna Sireyna   na si Francine Garcia ay nagbigay pugay kay Angel. Buong ningning niyang tinatalakay ito sa kanyang Facebook Live at tuwang-tuwa  siya na may isang transgender na nagdala ng mapa ng Pilipinas sa ibang bansa. 

ABS-CBN, MOST AWARDED MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY SA IKA-14 NA PHILIPPINE QUILL AWARDS

Kumamada ang ABS-CBN Corporation ng labindalawang parangal sa ika-14 na Philippine Quill Awards, kung saan sila ang may pinakamadaming award sa mga sumaling media at entertainment company sa prestihiyosong patimpalak ng International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines.

Panalo ang kampanya ng network na “Changing the Way You Look at TV with ABS-CBN TVPlus” kung saan inilunsad nila ang “mahiwagang black box” ng ABS-CBN TVPlus, na naghahatid sa mga manonood ng mga programa ng Kapamilya network at iba pang premium channels nang may napakalinaw na mga imahe at tunog.

Namakyaw naman ng tatlong Quill award ang “Pope, Thank You Sa Malasakit” (POPETYSM) campaign ng ABS-CBN para sa 2015 Papal Visit sa Pilipinas. Isinagawa rito ang isang social media campaign na nagbigay inspirasyon sa bansa sa pagdalaw ni Papa Francisco, isang Book of Thanks na nagpakita ng pagpapasalamat ng sambayanan sa Papa, at ang cross-platform coverage na nakuha ang gustong iparating na mensahe ng pagpapasalamat sa Papa ng buong bansa.

Bukod pa riyan, pinarangalan din ang TFC, The Filipino Channel para sa “Galing ng Filipino, Ipagpatuloy Mo” na kampanya nila para sa kanilang ika-20 anibersaryo. Bumida rin ang Cinema One, ang numero unong cable channel sa Pilipinas, dahil wagi ang ika-10 edisyon ng kanilang digital film festival na “Cinema One Originals 2014: Intense.”

Ang mga proyekto naman para sa mga empleyado ng ABS-CBN ay nakatulong din sa paghakot ng kumpanya ng tropeo. Isa diyan ang relaunch ng intranet website ng ABS-CBN na e-Frequency, na finalist para sa Top Award sa dibisyon nito, at ang ang “Kapamilya Thank You: The ABS-CBN Christmas Party 2014” na kinilala para sa taunang salu-salo tuwing Kapaskuhan ng mga Kapamilya employees. 

Hindi rin nagpahuli ang ABS-CBN Integrated Sports na ginawaran ng Quill para sa kampanyang “Isang Bayan Para kay Pacman” na inilunsad bago ang laban ng People’s Champion na si Manny Pacquiao at ng katunggaling si Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Dito pinauso ng kampanya ang isang interactive na punching bag na kung saan kada click ay may katumbas na puntos na umaanino sa lakas ni Manny Pacquiao, at kumakatawan sa milyun-milyong kamao ng mga Pilipino.

Sa kabilang dako naman, ang public service project na "Patrol ng Edukasyon" ng numero unang newscast sa Pilipinas na “TV Patrol” ay panalo rin para sa pagtulong nito sa mga eskwelahan sa mga kasuluk-sulukan ng Pilipinas. Ang marketing campaign naman na ginawa ng Digital Media Division ng ABS-CBN na “Revlon is Love” ay pinangalanan din ng dalawang beses.

Ang prestihiyosong Philippine Quill Awards ay isinasagawa ng International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines para bigyan ng parangal at pagkilala ang mga mahuhusay na communication programs at tools ng mga organisasyon sa Pilipinas.

Philippines’ promising boy band T.O.P (Top One Project) releases debut album

After winning GMA Network’s multi-platform boy band competition To The Top, Adrian Pascual, Joshua Jacobe, Louie Pedroso, Mico Cruz, and Miko Manguba now collectively known as T.O.P (Top One Project) launches their debut album under GMA Records today, May 18 at the Executive Lounge of GMA Network Center.

 Their carrier single Pag-gising is included in the album, as well as four other favorites from their performances in the competition such as Bakit Ganon, Alaala, Kaya Ko Kaya Mo, and Somebody.

 T.O.P. also takes prides in making their first original composition San Na. Having imbibed the wisdom of Maestro Ryan Cayabyab, the band is humbled to use what they have learned to bring the best out in the album.

 Despite having different strengths, the five boys found their harmony in friendship and their drive to reach their dreams. Youngest member Adrian Pascual, 17, shares how fellow member Miko Manguba inspires him to sing with his heart. “Dahil po siguro ako yung pinaka-bata, sineseryoso ko po yung mga tinuturo nila sa’kin. Lalo na po si Miko, siya po yung nagtuturo sa’kin ng mga tamang techniques sa pagkanta.”

 Miko M., 22, plays as the Music Man in the group who guides his band mates in their vocals and overall musicality. Although too modest to admit, Miko is considered to be the band’s leader for his mere talent and experience. “Nag-start po ako sa choir, where I acquired an ear for music. And then noong college, my brother influenced me to join an organization that also taught me how to dance.”

 LOUIE20-year old Louie Pedroso is tagged as the bad boy in the group, thus his moniker Medyo Pilyo. Playful in his tone, he admits to have started his passion in singing to impress girls. “When I was a kid, napapanood ko sa TV na mas nagugustuhan ng mga babae yung mga lalaking marunong kumanta. But as I was growing up, hindi na yung mababaw na concept na magpasikat yung naging reason ko. It’s about sharing na what the music portrays and what you can do and to inspire others.”

 On the other hand, the group’s Good Boy Mico C., 21, shares how he found his own style. “I tried everything para mahanap kung ano yung bagay sa’kin. Kasi ‘di naman pwedeng gusto ko lang, tapos hindi naman bagay sa boses ko. Nangyari naman na na-enjoy ko yung jazz, at sa tingin ko bumagay siya sa akin and I learned to love it.”

 JOSHUA22-year old Joshua Jacobe was once an intern in GMA Records. After hearing the call for To The Top auditions, he was encouraged to try his luck and fortunately landed the top spot alongside his four “brothers”. Joshua believes that his strong vocals came from his roots as a rock band member. “Nasa underground band scene po ako noong high school. Pero sa tingin ko po, nag-evolve yun habang tumatanda po ako at mas na-appreciate ko yung iba’t ibang klase ng music until I became more comfortable with T.O.P.’s genre.”

T.O.P.’s album has been digitally released and is available for download on iTunes, Amazon, Deezer, and other digital stores nationwide. The physical album is now available at Php 199.00 in various record bars nationwide, as well as through www.Lazada.com.ph
