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.

'Phil So Good' - Julien Drolon feat. Rhian Ramos (with lyrics)



The 'Phil So Good' music video starting to become viral over the web. The music video starring a Frenchman singing about his love for our country, The Philippines, catches the attention of netizens over the web. 

The music video was shot on location across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It shows Drolon basking in the sun on various beaches in the country and extolling, in French and English, this "paradise on earth". Also seen in the music video is our very own Filipina Actress Rhian Ramos who did the rapping part of the song.

While the music is an upbeat mix of funk, reggae and dance pop, and lends a cosmopolitan touch to the tropical scenarios. It is composed by French writer-turned-musician Julien Drolon


According to his interview with Philippine Daily InquirerDrolon described the Philippines as the land of music in Asia. He also added that in France they don't live music the way Filipinos do.

Drolon has so far recorded six songs with an all-Filipino lineup of musicians that also serve as his regular band, including keyboardist Leal Nanca, who wrote the rap lyrics to "Phil So Good." Drolon has also worked with Noel Mendez, Jack Rufo, Rico Blanco and the band Brownman Revival.

'PHIL SO GOOD' English/Tagalog Lyrics

Paradise islands, white sand beach
Tropical jungles where tribes still live
Land of Rizal and the guitar strings
Gotta find some time to live it here

I am in the Philippines x 3
And I feel so good, so good

GMA-7 is For Sale? Quality of It Shows on a Decline?



Rumor/News has it that GMA Network, the second-largest TV Network in the Philippines, is for sale. How Much? For Php60 Billion. But PLDT & TV5 Mogul Manny Pangilinan, whom is interested to buy-out GMA-7, says 60 Billion Pesos is too expensive and they can only offer Php45 Billion for the TV Network.

With these for-sale-issue being thrown to Kapuso Network. Is GMA-7 really now on decline?

Is GMA Network on decline?

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.
