Are you Ready for ‘My Little Juan’

When Juan Dela Cruz premiered on Philippine television Coco Martin was not to be found. Of course, the story has to start from his birth which came with epic animated history of the 'Bakal na Krus', his parents romance and the back story of the villains. Later on its first week run, Izzy Canillo entered the picture with a fresh, witty and adorable performance as the little Juan.

As a little Juan, he's been doing a lot of unintended mischief around town and the people just fall in love with the little kiddo even to the point of not wanting Coco Martin to enter the picture just yet. But of course, the story has to progress but fortunately, Abs-Cbn is bringing back Izzy Canillo in My Little Juan.

“My Little Juan” features the story of Juan’s whole childhood and his exciting adventures with Fr. Cito (Jaime Fabregas) before he became a full-fledged superhero. It is directed by Darnel Villaflor.

Don’t miss the grand premiere of “My Little Juan,” on Monday, 2:45pm, after “It’s Showtime” in ABS-CBN’s Kapamilya Gold.

Abs-Cbn has once again released a Summer station ID for the year 2013 which carries the theme "Kwento ng Summer Natin" (Story of our Summer) with Sam Milby and Angeline Quinto performing the theme song. The must-watch Summer station ID is tripping down to memory lane by recollecting the biggest shows and pop culture trends over the past 60 years.

The video starts with every pinoy kid's favorite summer activity, flying a kite, and then the kite gets stuck to the roof of an abandoned house where an old television which didn't seem like a TV at first, lies. Then we get sucked in to a world full of Abs-Cbn shows and wow, from ancient tv shows of the 70's and 80's, until my birth decade, the 90's whern shows like Home Along Da Riles, Tabing Ilog and Ang TV matters and a whole lot more!

We also see, Abs-Cbn's most notable icon - the Sarimanok! Woot. It makes me feel like a kid again. They forgot to include morning educational programs like Hirayamanawari, Bayani and Sine Eskwela though.

Check it out and tell us what you have to say at the comments below.

Jane Oineza Nominated at Finalist at 2013 NYF

Kapamilya teen actress Jane Oineza received a nod for a best actress nomination in the 2013 New York Festivals after her performance in the drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK). Jane portrayed a young girl named Nene who was raped by her stepdad in front of her mother. Entitled 'Manika', it was by far the most controversial episode from MMK in recent memory. Jane Oineza is vying against USA's Julia Stiles and Troian Bellisario who are both from the web series 'WIGS'.

I wasn't able to see that episode but from the teasers at Youtube, it looked like Jane Oineza's performance was a loud one. Not that it's bad, loud performances can actually be great especially if the story requires so. And after all what Nene's character have gone through in MMK or the real Nene in real life per se, she definitely deserves every right to burst into anger, sadness and a lot other emotions.

If she bags away the best actress I promise to watch the episode myself and give you a review even though it's quite delayed.
