Walang pakukulang ang sino mang magkamali sa pag-awit ng Lupang Hinirang. Ang may Pagkukulang ay ang  batas na hindi umaakma sa pangangailangan ng umaawit. Ang itinakdang tamang tono pag-awit ang hindi dapat pagtuunan ng pansin kundi kung naisasapuso ba ang nilalaman ng awitin. Naiintindihan ba ng umaawit ang malalalim na salita at kahulugan ng bawat salitang nakapaloob dito?

Kung ipagpipilitan ang tamang pag-awit sa Lupang Hinirang dapat ipakulong na ang lahat ng bisaya dahil ang “Perlas ng silanganan” ay hindi “pirlas ng selanganan”. Pati ang iba pang pangkat ng Pilipino katulad ng mga…

Here is a classic sample of an Erap adage, ‘Don’t judge a book if you are not a judge’.

The clip is from the first episode of Britain Got Talent 2009, where Susan Boyle, a 47 yr old woman made a surprising display of talent. Honestly, when I saw this clip, I was thinking that this is probably one of those type of viral clips like the Bulgarian Idol who sang the “Ken Lee” by Mariah Carey. But unlike that performance, Susan Boyle’s performance is an ‘In your face!’ type of performance. Go click the play button and watch for yourself.[Read more]

Ellen DeGeneres gave all Rin on the Rox fans a reason to smile again after the pair’s YouTube channel “Hiphoprox” got canned. Ellen invited Erin Paula and Roxanne, whom she referred to as “friends” to cover Sir Elton John’s Oscar Party! Rin on the Rox, though a little bit too bubbly did a great job interviewing Hollywood stars who stopped by their spot.

It did not occur to me to check what bloggers had written, if any, about their experience on “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal” (KDOND) until after I had taped for the show. More…

I don’t know anymore why I still watch Grey’s Anatomy now on its 5th season. There was a time when this Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning television show was at its best. Their peak was in Seasons 1-3, 2005 to early 2007 then it went downhill. The show is highly-acclaimed for its so called blind-casting, resulting in a racially diverse cast. It is also praised by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community and Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) group for its gay-themed storyline- a scarcity in primetime television these days. All is changed. I had faith in Shonda Rhimes, creator of the show but it is soon wading into oblivion.

The recent speculations that Katherine Heigl and TR Knight are leaving the show would have to be the clincher for me.

Only for Grey’s Anatomy Followers… If you are then

When I first showed up at the ABS-CBN gate to try and become a contestant on “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal” (KDOND), I had no idea I was going to make it all the way to the show. But I started taking notes anyway because I thought that, at the very least, it would be worth blogging about. More…

Best friends Erin Paula and Roxanne unsigned Filipino-American singers from California may just get their biggest breaks soon!

I found this funny parody of the hit show 24. It’s set in 1994 and you see Jack Bauer and his team trying to save the day with relics like a dot matrix printer, a pager and a dial-up modem. Haha! It’s pretty funny. Click here to watch.

As the Finale for the breakout hit Survivor Philippines draws to a close, the true battle begins for the last five remaining castaways.

Perhaps everyone are heaving a sigh of relief that Marlon Carmen aka “the waiter,” the most disliked cutthroat and aggressive person (?) in the competition is already eliminated; and agreeably has now come down to the ‘brainy’ Charisse, the ‘driver’ Cris, the ‘hunky’ athlete, JC, the self-proclaimed ‘loverboy,’ Rob, and the endearing laundry woman, ‘nanay’ Zita, vying for that 3 million peso prize and the title FIRST “Sole Survivor.”

If this show does not excite Filipino TV viewers, I don’t know what does?!

Here’s Part two of the exclusive interview with Survivor Philippines’ only resident doctor. The ever cheery, at times self-effacing, definitely sharp and multi-talented, Dr. Zoe. Read on:

Considering that this show is literally about surviving amidst starvation, mind games and various intense physical challenges, and that is what the contestants have signed up for– still a medical and rescue team is most obligatory and essential in overseeing the castaway’s conditions without compromising the rules of the game.

Call me lucky to know a member of the production team! This is an exclusive two-part Q&A interview on one of the unsung “heroes” of the show….

If you ask most people who they think is the best basketball player of all time and I’m sure their answer would be Michael Jordan. I’m sure not everyone will agree on that but we can all say that he’s one of the best basketball players ever, right?

Because of his skills, exploits, hightlight reels and achievements in the basketball court, you’d think that no one could ever beat Michael Jordan in a game of one-on-one.

Earlier this year, during one of the sessions in Michael Jordan’s exclusive basketball camp called Flight School, an ordinary guy, a CEO for a mutual funds company named John Roger Jr. did the inevitable. He beat Michael Jordan in a game of one-on-one.

You don’t believe it? Well, there’s only one thing to do and that is to click HERE and check out the video of what happened.

Last Monday, two billboards fell on of a top bus terminal and an auto repair shop along EDSA’s southbound lane when a small cyclone swept through the highway injuring five people and snarling traffic.

On the next day, the Department of Public Works and Highways begun dismantling these 2 billboards and is continuing to remove any other illegal billboards along EDSA. This is in compliance with Arroyo’s Administrative Order 160 and 160-A, which aims to remove unsafe structures and advertisements.
