WAYA INCORPORATEDStanding in the middle of a busy business district is a tower that houses one of the most influential business conglomerates in the land – the Waya Incorporated. Waya Inc. holds great influence on major business and industrial sectors in our society. But behind that facade are not just powerful men in business suits but also unique beings with special characteristics. They are the Taong Lobos – men and women who can transform themselves into powerful beasts that can easily slash your throat or break your neck. The humans need not fear them, however, because the Taong Lobos are humans' protectors especially from the dreaded vampires. For centuries they have lived among us, integrating themselves into our way of life to better protect us. But they are unaware that their biggest battle is about to come. imortal.abs-cbn.com/wayaincclan.aspx

CLUB SANGRE To the ordinary eye, Club Sangre is just a place for the young, posh, and loaded. A members-only-club, it perfectly fits the profile of a hip place for partying. But that perception is far from the truth. Club Sangre is a breeding ground for those who want to be immortals and for those who want to be part of the dark world of the Vampires. The Vampires are getting ready for a holy war, a war that shall make them the rulers of the land, and Club Sangre is the nerve center where they lay out their plans to emerge from the shadows they have been hiding in for the past decades. imortal.abs-cbn.com/ClubSangre.aspx

Efren Peñaflorida on Angel Locsin: 'Not on my priority list'by Rachelle Siazon | September 02, 2010 8:19 AM Aside from being hailed as 2009’s CNN Hero of The Year, Efren Peñaflorida also made headlines early this year when he made a public declaration of his feelings for Angel Locsin in Boy Abunda’s The Bottomline. The talented actress was supposedly the girl of his dreams whom he had been praying for for five years. He even asked permission from Angel’s father so that he could formally court her at the time. But he ended up being just friends with Angel instead. When ABS-CBN.com and other entertainment reporters caught up with Efren at the press launch of Chowking’s newest endorsers, the 29-year-old was quick to say that he would rather talk about his foundation (Dynamic Teen Company) than his love life. Asked if he’s aware that Angel’s going out again with ex-boyfriend Luis Manzano, Efren merely replied, “Not on my priority list.” Apparently, the only thing that’s keeping him inspired these days is his constant interaction with the students from his “kariton classroom.” “Ang perspective ko bilang isang guro, mas fulfilling kapag nakikita ko yung mga bata na natututo magsulat at magbasa, especially kung nae-engganyo silang mag-aral. Kahit isang bata lang yung matulungan namin, that’s already a big achievement for me.” Efren is also happy because of the growing number of dedicated volunteers who share his vision in instilling the importance of education among the youth. “If you want change to happen, the concept of bayanihan is important. Kasi when you push a cart alone, it’s very hard. So ‘pag mas madami kang kasama, mas napapadali yung work. Siyempre hindi naman kaya ng isang tao lang yung pagbabago,” he stated. - ABS-CBN

Angel Locsin gears up for her movie with Aga Muhlachby abs-cbn.com | September 01, 2010 7:50 AM Angel Locsin is taking a leave from her upcoming ABS-CBN teleserye Imortal where she co-stars with John Lloyd Cruz, to fly to Japan to shoot parts of her movie with Aga Muhlach. When reporters interviewed Angel on the set of Imortal prior to her departure for Japan, she admitted that there have been times when she would get confused about her characters in the teleserye and in the movie. “Mahirap talaga. Minsan nga nadadala ko ‘yung character [sa set ng Imortal]. Napapaisip tuloy ako, ‘Sino ba ako ngayon?!’ Ha ha ha! Mga Sisa moments ko!” Angel’s character in the movie entitled Huling Sayaw, is a Pinay entertainer in Japan. The film will be directed by Olive Lamasan who also helmed last year’s box office hit In My Life which was headlined by Vilma Santos. Angel said she feels blessed about the chance to work with Direk Olive. “Sobrang happy ko na nabigyan ako ng opportunity na makatrabaho si Inang (Director Lamasan’s nickname). Napakagaling niya. Lahat ng artistang mahawakan niya sobrang blessed.” The young actress revealed that Direk Olive can be very strict on the set, but her methods only bring out the best in any actor. “Matatakot ka sa kanya sa una. Mapapagalitan ka, sure ‘yun. Pero marami kang matututunan sa kanya. Mapapa-level up ka dahil sa kanya. Kailangan mo siyang tapatan. Magaling siya sa puyatan, sa lahat.” Angel is also excited about being Aga’s new leading lady. In the course of shooting Huling Sayaw, Angel learned about moer about the actor. “SiKuya Aga kapag kausap mo napaka-pleasant. Titingnan mo siya, pangiti ngiti lang. Pero kapag nakausap mo na, may lalim. Ang dami niyang alam tungkol sa buhay. ‘Yung mga bagay na hindi basta basta maishe-share sa iyo ng ibang artista. Hindi rin kasi siya madamot sa kwento.” - ABS-CBN

‘Hero’ puts Angel on the backburner
By NEIL RAMOS September 3, 2010, 12:35am “Not on my priority list.”
This is how 2009 CNN Hero of the Year Efren Penaflorida reacted to reports that actress Angel Locsin is back in the arms of actor Luis Manzano.
Penaflorida’s lukewarm retort is a far cry from his assertions a few months ago when he declared undying love for Angel whom he called the “girl of his dreams.” He even asked permission from her father before courting her. Efren would later tell Boy Abunda on “The Bottomline” that he had waited five years for his chance to woo her.
But although he was able to go as far as to invite the actress on several dates, Angel doused Penaflorida’s show of passion by saying all she could offer the “pushcart educator” is friendship.
“Ayoko naman magpaasa ng tao,” said she in interviews.Without Angel in the picture, the 29-year old is back to doing what he does best—nurturing the Dynamic Teen Company (DTC), which he founded years ago and one that eventually made him a “hero.” DTC started as a friendship club of around 20 members, with an aim of providing youth awareness projects, talent and self-development activities, and community services. They eventually pioneered the idea of the "pushcart classroom," wherein pushcarts were stocked with school materials such as books, pens, tables, and chairs. The group would then travel about, usually Saturdays, to recreate school settings in varying locations including many impoverished areas. Today, DTC's "pushcart classroom" also teaches basic reading and writing to street children. “Ang perspective ko bilang isang guro, mas fulfilling kapag nakikita ko yung mga bata na natututo magsulat at magbasa, especially kung nae-engganyo silang mag-aral. Kahit isang bata lang yung matulungan namin, that’s already a big achievement for me,” said he in an interview with ABS-CBN. Penaflorida says he has more volunteers nowadays. “If you want change to happen, the concept of bayanihan is important. Kasi when you push a cart alone, it’s very hard. So ‘pag mas madami kang kasama, mas napapadali yung work. Siyempre hindi naman kaya ng isang tao lang yung pagbabago,” he said. - Manila Bulletin

Are your idols original? by Nickie Wang You still probably remember Takipsilim, the serialized version of blockbuster flick Twilight that turned to be just a hoax. In December 2008, there was an article that appeared on ABS-CBN news site stating that Shaina Magdayao and Rayver Cruz are set to start filming the local adaptation of the American vampire romantic film. It was even reported that ABS-CBN paid a whopping $1 million for the exclusive rights to turn the romantic-fantasy movie into a television series. Days later, the news report can no longer be traced. It was permanently removed from the news site. Before ABS-CBN denied the report, Hollywood blogger Perez Hilton fetched the story and published the network’s plan to begin Takipsilim’s production. The blog post was flooded by raging feedbacks from Twilight’s diehard fanatics. Their general concern was that it will ruin the very essence of the original version. Now here comes Imortal, starring Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz. The teaser looks promising complete with special effects and 3D graphics. It is about the birth of a vampire that coincides with the birth of a wolf. Its striking resemblances to the Twilight saga could be just a coincidence. They say, the series is actually the sequel to the 2008 top-rating Lobo that Locsin starred in.Closely looking at the trend in local TV programming, it’s not surprising at all if Imortal would be just another copy. Most TV stations nowadays employ scriptwriters that rely heavily on the available materials at hand (read: movies they had seen before that can be translated to Philippine situation, TV shows that were not shown in any local station that can easily be adapted, and books that have been turned into movies in Hollywood but few Filipinos know about.) So, what kind of creative process these writers go through? Ask Ricky Lee or Jun Lana. If audiences are not fed with remakes (serialized [or better yet bastardized] version of a film or a local adaptation of an Asian drama, they are bombarded with drama series that don’t have logical dramaturgy. But of course major television networks will strongly deny that they produce mediocre shows. In reality, no station is brave enough to admit its complacency; they actually claim each program that goes on air is of world class quality. For example, Agua Bendita, based on a comic serial published in 1980’s, is praised for its being creative (?). However its finale is already near and yet we can’t still comprehend the scientific explanation behind Agua and/or Bendita’s freak appearances. Why does Agua and/or Bendita appear blue when water really is translucent and colorless? This is the same case with GMA-7’s The Last Prince. When it was shown early this year, we couldn’t help but ask about the rational of the setting of the story—a sustainable community (with complete vegetation) up in the sky. It’s not even built on a hovering solid rock (like Peter Pan’s Neverland) or something to that effect. Amid flaws, viewers still bought the idea. For one thing, both programs have an element of surrealism, a tested recipe that catches the attention of the masses. New series in the offing A new series is being brewed in the yard of the Kapuso network and it is entitled I Heart You Pare. The dramady will star the Diva lead actress Regine Velasquez. From the title itself, it will make you speculate that it has no difference compared to Coffee Prince, He’s Beautiful, or Hana Kimi. The aforementioned Asian series all starred female actors in the lead role, but their characters pretend to be a boy just to get close to the main male character. Another songbird is set to make a primetime comeback on Sept. 6. Sarah Geronimo, backed up by Coco Martin and Sam Milby, is set to add a little twist to evening viewing with iDol. It is a series that, “out of the blue, a production number will appear, you’ll see us sing and dance,” says Sarah in one of her interviews. Sounds interesting but aren’t we seeing a local version of Glee? - Manila Standard
