Wazzup Pilipinas!

Tabang Tambayan is a collaboration project between The Silver Lining Project, Primarch Entertainment, SparkMyIdeas and individual organizers, Kamilla Sumagui, Bryan Favorito as a spontaneous response in bringing aid to the typhoon Yolanda survivors. Volunteers Maria Ganal, Kris Garcia and Jansie Hernandez later joined the group in support of this cause.

Collectively, the group, in tying up with beneficiaries Air Juan  and the Philippine Coast Guard Auxilliary Squadrons 401 and 406th Calamianes, have adopted a community of Sitio Maricaban in Coron, Palawan. Their vision is to provide Relief-Rehab-Rebuild missions for their adopted community and their mission is to bring together artists through a series of events in order to fundraise the provision needed for their vision to succeed.

Bagong Bukas, their second benefit event (January 31) targeted to fund their medical mission as part of their Relief initiative, was an immediate hit with the B-crowd. This event showcased a variation of performances-- the parkour stunts of the Philippine Parkour and Free Running Association (PPFA), the gravity-defying Pole Dolls, and the fire dancing Planet Zips wows the crowd with stunts performed with gusto for uplifting the Filipino spirit.

Everything is Awesome with The Lego Movie Special Blocked Screening

Last Song Syndrome (LSS) had an extremely terrible and contagious effect on all off us, including the other viewers, as we left Cinema 1 of the Rockwell Powerplant Mall. We were all singing the chorus, "Everything is awesome!!! Everything is cool when you're part of a team. "

Just in case you're one of the fanatics who adored the movie and the song, I've posted the lyrics below this article.

We really can't help but repeat the same lines over and over again. Plus the crazy body movements, chuckles and cheers we occasionally bring forth while singing the song. Hahaha...I expected the movie to be hilariously crazy but it was more surprisingly cocky than I ever imagined.

The Lego Movie was really cool! We were totally hooked with the premise of the computer-animated movie featuring Lego characters voiced by some famous foreign actors who have been recognized as playing lead roles in sci-fi, fantasy movies, action and comedy movies.

I guess everyone is now joining the bandwagon of entertainment specifically on the influence of Korean fashion and entertainment in our country. It was surprising to receive an invitation from a government-managed television station announcing a reality contest whose aim is to search for K-Pop Idols.

Apparently, they partnered with a group from Korea to produce a new reality show on television to attract all K-Pop die-hard fans out there which are really huge. The figures are shocking and to learn that teens and the younger years are very much into the fad, then it will spell success to the partnership's endeavors.

The People's Television Network (PTV 4) invited members of the media for the press launch of the K-Pop Idol Search (KIS) - Pinoy Edition last February 7 at Makati Shangri-La Hotel to witness its partnership with HBKOR in producing KIS-Pinoy.

Mr. Kim Jung Su, president of HBKOR, Inc. made a ceremonial toast with Cleo Dongga-as, General manager of the People's Television Network to symbolize the bonding of the partnership.
