Video of Raymart Santiago - Mon Tulfo fight in NAIA now on YouTube
MANILA, Philippines – The scuffle between journalist Mon Tulfo and actor Raymart Santiago on Sunday has been caught on video and uploaded on the video-sharing site YouTube.
The 59-second video posted by glamchiq00 showed Santiago charging at Tulfo and people trying to stop the fist fight.
The video was uploaded after news broke out earlier in the afternoon about the incident.
Both Tulfo and Santiago were among the top trending topics on microblogging site Twitter because of the incident.
Santiago’s wife, actress Claudine Barretto, said she is challenging Tulfo to show the video which he claims caught her scolding the airport staff. Barretto also appealed to airport authorities to release the CCTV footage to determine who really started the brawl between Tulfo and her husband.
The amateur video was immediately shared on other social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.
“I don't know what happened, but from this video, mas hinawakan at inawat si Mon Tulfo ng mga guards than Raymart Santiago. Walang pumigil kay Raymart sa pagsuntok niya kay Mon Tulfo while Tulfo was held down by the airport guards,” journalist Joel Pablo Salud said on Facebook.

GMA-7 is For Sale? Quality of It Shows on a Decline?
With these for-sale-issue being thrown to Kapuso Network. Is GMA-7 really now on decline?
Is GMA Network on decline?
PinoyTVcritic.com
04.23.2012
With press releases left and right claiming their national supremacy in the ratings game, one could wonder why an article like this is being written to portray GMA Network as declining.
Business-wise, the Kapuso network is sound. It is earning. And it is not in debt.
Why is it that one like this humble blogger surmised that GMA is in a declining stage?
One is the slow and low content development. The network, amid its claim of being the top rating network, lags behind ABS-CBN in the number of shows in development, and the number of locally-produced shows currently being aired.
Although both networks utilized movie blocks to create stable, eye-ball drawing, and revenue-generating blocks with cost efficiency, GMA has in a way went overboard. In fact, one could wonder if the network executives are turning the network into a movie channel to compete not with ABS-CBN, but with Cinema One.
Apart from its 'Kapuso Movie Festival' airing in the mornings from Mondays to Sundays, GMA has also cancelled most of its shows in its Sunday block, and allowed block of 3 movies back-to-back-to-back.

Jessica Sanchez sings "Proud Mary" on American Idol Top 5 Show
Jessica Sanchez - Proud Mary
Filipina-Mexican-American Jessica Sanchez sang “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker and “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner on the American Idol 11 Top 5 Performance Show.
I prefer Jessica's "Proud Mary" performance than her "You Are So Beautiful" rendition. Because on that performance she shows that she is not just a singer...that she can groove 'cause she is a total performer. #kudos!
And I totally agree when Jennifer Lopez said to her that she's a little bit of Tina and a little bit of Beyonce.

Akon Wants Jessica Sanchez To Be Eliminated
R&B Recording Artist, Songwriter and Music Producer Akon told E! Online during the 2012 Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami that he hopes Jessica Sanchez would be voted off in the American Idol Season 11.
His reason? So he can offer her a recording contract.
Here’s Akon Statement:
“I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but I kind of want her to get voted off so I can sign her. She’s beyond the talent that’s supposed to be there. I think she’s overqualified, I really do.”
“And she’s only 16,” Akon added, “Like, I’ve been around a lot of superstars. I haven’t seen anyone at that age sing like that.”

Jessica Sanchez sings 'Dance With My Father' on American Idol 11 Top 6 Show
Jessica Sanchez once again wowed me (and hopefully you too) with her own rendition of "Dance With My Father' originally sang by Luther Vandross during the American Idol 11 Top 6 Performance Show.
Her performance was really full of emotions and you can feel it through her voice and see it on Jessica’s action on how she misses her father so badly. In short, Jessica owned the song and performed it so naturally.
Anyway, Jessica still needs your vote for her not to be eliminated tomorrow. You only have 2 hours to vote after the show.
Here's How to Vote:
In the US,
(1) You can vote for Jessica Sanchez by calling 1-866-IDOLS-01 (1-866-436-5701)
(2) Text “VOTE” to 5705.

The PBB Dreams
By Jocy L. So-Yeung
(Teacher at Davao Christian High School)
Sun Star Davao. January 28, 2012.
HAS there been an epidemic? One day, all of the sudden, nearly a dozen students from the third year batch were absent. What happened?
The classmates grinned in response. "Nag-audition for PBB Ma'am." PBB of course is Pinoy Big Brother, the monster reality TV hit that places ordinary people in one residence, forces them to undergo unrealistic stunts, and allows the whole Philippines to watch their every move. I don't follow PBB but I know many who hound each episode like a starving dog chasing a bone.
And based on their stories, I was apprehensive upon knowing plenty of my students wanted to be in the show. A former student had already appeared on the show once, and she ended up being betrayed by a friend and looking mean and petty on TV. She was voted off, leaving the PBB house in an air of unpopularity.
Rabid watchers also tell me that the show's God-like kuya make housemates do uncomfortable things, from dancing with not a stitch of clothing on except a fan to downing liquor until they're drunk, just to stir up controversies and improve ratings.

It's Showtime: ABS-CBN's Newest Noontime Show
The country's trending talent show, ‘Showtime’, bid goodbye today, Saturday, January 28, 2012. The Hosts like Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, Jugs, Teddy, Karylle, Billy Crawford, Kuya Kim and Vice Ganda thanked madlang pipol for the the love, laughter and the support that they've given to the show.
Anne on the last gap of the 'last episode' of Showtime today said:
"Dear Lord God, we just wanna thank you for this journey. We thank you, Lord, for Showtime. We thank you for all the challenges, the triumphs, the laughter."
"This is a decision and it's not something na we planned, it's something that came naturally between all of us,"
It's More Fun In Showtime.
Just like what cliché goes ‘Some good things never last’ and so with Showtime. So, for the regular viewers of the show, don't be sad na. (smile na!) because your favorite show will be back BIG on TV on February 6, 2012 but this time, with a new segments and games.
It will not be anymore a talent show it will evolved into a noontime variety show. And also, to really show that Showtime will evolved bigtime, it will have a new name. and its... It's Showtime.

Trending Quotations of 2011
2011 is coming to a close. So, the better way to end this year is to list down all the memorable lines that TV personalities have thrown on National TV. Their unforgettable lines that made them trending and become talk of the town. (in no particular order)
Atty. Ferdinand Topacio: "Ipatatanggal ko ang itlog ko kapag 'di bumalik ang mga Arroyo"
Christopher Lao: "I should have been informed. Dapat ininform. 'yun lang 'yun eh."
James Soriano: “Filipino was the language of the streets: it was how you spoke to the tindera when you went to the tindahan, what you used to tell your katulong that you had an utos, and how you texted manong when you needed ‘sundo na.’”

Maasinhon Trio is named Pilipinas Got Talent Grand Winner
Maasinhon Trio
Fearless Commentary.
I was shocked last night, during the announcement of the Top 3 kasi hindi nakapasok yung pambato kong El Gamma Penumbra ng Batangas. Parang hindi ako makapaniwala. At napansin ko puro singers na naman ang nasa Top 3. Kaya malamang sa malamang, Singer ulet ang mananalo sa Season 3 na ‘to ng PGT. #KailanganSingerNaLangPalage

EL Gamma Penumbra is my Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 Grand Winner
El Gamma Penumbra of Batangas City
From the 12 finalist who've shown diverse talents. My vote will go to El Gamma Penumbra of Batangas City. This is not the first time for El Gamma Penumbra to join a talent show just like PGT dahil nakasali na sila sa morning talent show na Showtime (Season 1). Graffiti Motion pa ang dating pangalan ng grupo nila noong sumali sila sa show na ‘yon ng ABS-CBN.
